I seem to recall early on that there was an intent that if you wanted to use a party of six of one class, you could, it would just be difficult. Saw the PCWorld interview from 5 days ago where Sawyer says pretty much the same thing, so seems to me that whether you want a priest in your party (or a "typical" party makeup) is up to you....and one's preferred playstyle. So...I think I'm going to assume a priest is not "necessary" and my first party will attempt to not have any. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2886976/pillars-of-eternity-josh-sawyer-talks-mods-pc-first-focus-big-head-mode-and-more.html

Eating lunch, watching Pulse on Starz (the US remake I guess). It's a terrible movie. Heheh.

Thanks.

Not about over-heating but don't want to make a new topic just for it... ...anyone know of a way to get rid of the back/forward/reload icon buttons in the r-click menu?

Bar & Grill place, phone order: Me: "I'd like the NY Steak sandwich." Them: "That's not on the menu anymore, we have a ribeye with italian/pesto rub/spices etc. instead..." Me: *doesn't want to stare at the menu again* ... "...ok, fine, I'll try that." ...never know, could be awesome.

It's like watching Supernatural without watching Supernatural.

The quote quoted in the OP pleases me. +1

Oddly, even when I had 8 indoor cats I never really had issues with cathair balling up. I guess I vacuum/dustmop enough to prevent them. But hubby likes those "plush" acrylic throw blankets for the couch. Every time I get a new one, there are HUGE colored fiber dust balls everywhere, daily, for weeks. >.> I know dead skin cells make up a lot of finer household dust (shake out a mattress pad cover in the sunshine some time...), but the rest is largely paper/cloth fiber. The amount from toilet tissue/tissue boxes/bath towels alone is horrible. Fun buying new cotten towels and all the dust in the bathroom turns blue...

Sometimes I want to ban all textile and paper material from my house, because of the prodigious quantities of fiber dust they produce. But I don't think I'd enjoy using corn cobs in the bathroom. Plus our garage is too small to pull double duty as a clothes closest.

That would be my next question ... if a priest feels like a must, does that mean two priests is even better. ...in some games I'd do stuff like no-melee fighter parties just because I like unconventional parties. It's going to be interesting to see what one can get away with in PoE, from what tidbits I've been reading in the beta forums.

^ when I v-blogged it all seemed fine/I didn't really notice the giggles for some reason, but when you can't see the face it seemed a little weird to me. Maybe if I did the PiP thing w/your face in the corner. And yeah, consistent volume can be difficult to maintain at first too and I'm a quiet talker to begin with.

That reminds me, I tried an episode of Puss N Boots series Netflix was airing. I thought for sure I'd at least like the Puss N Boots chr. bits if nothing else. I didn't. Although in fairness I had a difficult time focusing on the actual show/dialoge because I kept focusing on the fact the animation of Puss N Boots seemed completely different from the films or Shrek holiday specials. Facial movement was off in a creepy way, like watching a doppelganger that you know is a doppelganger. Bugged the heck out of me. Turned it off.

I thought about doing some Let's Plays once (narrated) but when I tried to practice, I realized two things: --I do this mild/quiet giggle when I'm amused, and apparently I'm amused a lot --I sniffle/mini-clear my throat a lot (allergies). I can control the latter but I couldn't cease the giggles.

I've been wondering the same thing. Some rpg's it feels mandatory to actually have the "priest" class in party, some it doesn't.

Time Lapse, some indie 2014 movie about a funky looking camera that takes photos of the next day future. Certainly nothing original and reminded me a lot of a sci-fi-ish version of '94's Shallow Grave, but I liked it a fair amount. Started a bit slow and the chrs. make some silly decisions but still entertaining. Worth a watch for its genre, imo.

Finally got to the end of Crossing Lines, season 2. The first couple of episodes were a bit lackluster for me but then it picked up, although not as good as 1st season. But then the final episode .... GAH. Me no like. Too much at once and too flimsy. And the rumor is Fichtner won't be in Season 3 so my main reason for watching will be gone. I think that's it for me.

Watching TWD right now. "I hate apple sauce." ... lol ...car won't start, OF COURSE. ...oh Rick, you're so stubborn. ...go Glen! But eww... Well that was a decent episode. Not the best, but a good one.

The only review perspective I truly value is my own...after I've played it. Only me knows me, after all. Pro/net reviews are only for gaining a general feeling of whether a game even has a small chance of being of a type I might be into.

Do they all have to be done tonight? Lots of caffeine. And then some more. And...I know it's hard, but try not to spend 2 hours on each photo. *wink*

Someone who spends too much money for a MMO/f2p/whatever and regrets it/feels manipulated, I have sympathy and may agree that the tactics used to get people to spend that money is rather manipulative and plays on well known psychological emotional addictive factors...pretty much what most marketing is, really. Someone who continues to do that in lots of other MMO/f2p/whatever even afterwards, and still is complaining, I have no sympathy.

^^ Considering that I believe part of Obsidian's desire to make/KS PoE was because they wanted to make something that wasn't "limited" by console catering, I don't think one has to worry about that here. Of course, exactly what is "console catering" vs. just plain "time and tech marches on" is always up for debate/subjective, but PoE turning into Dragon Age just because someone like Angry Joe likes/endorses the game is pretty unlikely.

Nothing like swimming through shark infested waters so you can ... bring home your shark trophies! They'll go up on the roofs eventually, too. Sadly, there are probably 8-10 more corpses that are too deep for me to fetch back...current game have yet to see a great white. Now I need a bunch of turtle corpses to decorate with, too...too bad I can't kill the humpback's.

I don't know enough about Angry Joe to form a like/dislike, but I've seen some of his reviews for games I've played and he seemed fair enough to me. He has a video persona, which I suppose some may not like, but if you can get past that he's kinda funny and seems like a decent enough dude. And if he gets people aware of/interested in PoE who might otherwise never have, even better.

Re: Frozen - that film would have been a lot better without Olaf the snowman and the little rock trolls. The reindeer was cute however. Not sure why they needed both the reindeer and Olaf...it felt more of a showcase for the snazzy music scene bits and should've focused more on the sisters. It's ok/mildly watchable, but definitely not worthy of the hype. Tangled was, imo, somewhat better than Frozen because it was more focused, even if more typical in plot. Also, it was funny. ;p
