I really need to get around to trying Sacred2 someday. I liked the original Sacred for about 4 days but then stopped. Something about the perspective/combat mechanics felt really awkward at the time, tho I did like the humor/other aspects of the game. But #2 seemed like it might be an improvement in that regard. Having a Seraphim with a saber toothed tiger riding mount might be purrrrfectly awesome too.

Still green shirt and pants, I see. Same here. My mailsmith is still lvl17, and even if it was 20, I don't have the blue/purple tools to give me a socketed shirt, so I'm not bothering ... yet.

RCT is up for sale? For the highest amount on that list? Interesting. I loved the first game, and #2 was ok, never tried 3, wasn't interested when it went big 3D and stuff.

The current guesses are a "pre-patching" of some of the stuff that's been coming up in the current test/preview shard content changes. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?365451-Patch-Notes-NW-3-20130529z-20 ...they're nerfing Protect Caravan's reward (Leadership Task) and doubling the time for the Explore Local Area task. For cryin' out loud, how important. lol

It's been so farking humid the past couple of days, I can't stand it. This isn't FL ... go away. Resting in bed, chock full of Advil most of the day, to the tune of reality TV shows. When one is grumpy themselves, Gordon Ramsay's constant cussing sorta grows on a person after a while. Sorta.

That's pretty much what my Super8 hand-animation movies looked like.

I don't know about US fashion today, but I sure am glad the 80's hair fads are over.

I believe in the scientific method and science as a whole. I just don't believe a lot of science has enough information yet to come to a 100% true conclusion about much of anything very complex. It hasn't been long enough.

I've always gone with the feeling that things like the Like button overall decreases true social back and forth, because as time goes on, more and more people just hit the Like button vs. actually responding to the post with something that may inspire more responses/conversations.

I needed some cat cute, sorry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4fyFpLUlm8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdEXl0HMfjc

Everything hurts and I'm cranky like a cat who has been staring at an empty food bowl for hours. Been listening to "Men in Black" all day, via the headphones. Something about the rhythm of the song is kinda soothing in a grooving way.

Hah. I have idly wondered, considering the love/hate of the chr./Drows, whether a Foundry series based on Drizzt and his buddies would go over well. Not directly from the books, but some adventure. I could even have two versions: one where the player could kill Drizzt in the end, and one where he helps you out. Or something. Covers both bases! ...but these days I'm too lazy/unmotivated to likely even create a fast quest run like Bill's Tavern....

Fried roaches, yes, that's the ticket. Crunchy protein yums! As to Soylent, like with any liquid nutritional substitute goop, I'd have to wonder if living off it entire would equal some inconvenient or embarrassing intestinal issues after a while. I think I'll pass. That said, drinking a glass as a replacement meal once or twice a day wouldn't hurt anyone without an allergy to any of the ingredients. Assuming that list of ingredients they give out is accurate. But whatever ... as long as a diet one is using is working for one's personal needs/wants, that's really all that matters. Myself, I couldn't give up the fun of ripping, tearing, and masticating my food with my teeth. Growr.

Crimson Tide. Hadn't seen it in a while. It's no Das Boot, but it's still an entertaining flick. But mostly, I just miss Gene Hackman (in films..he's still alive).

Every time I watch Falling Skies (which isn't often at this point), I always wonder how much work it is for the makeup artists to make sure all those arm tattoos on Pope (Colin Cunningham) are consistent episode to episode.

I think it's more a factor that the increasing number of cable stations creating original content = more good roles available in series media than in film media. I read interviews all the time about how frustrated some actors are by the stupid scripts/films/roles that come their way...ones that don't let them stretch or really use their acting chops. eg, not interesting to the artist. Especially for middle-age/older actors. While it may be fun and a boost to the career to be in Star Trek or The Hobbit, those types of films aren't exactly actors roles - especially when they're often ensemble casts. Whereas a TV series may be more willing to give them lead, producing credit/creative control, etc. in order to get a bigger name for their show. I think it used to be, long time ago, sort of a "bad career move" for film star to go to TV (it was seen as a downgrade) but as that viewpoint changes, more are taking advantage of it.

Hm. They look kinda interesting. Downloaded.

Happy B-day, Ros. Another year older, another year none the wiser? ...the past couple weeks I've been looking for a simple coffee pot (for hubs) that isn't super tiny or super big. You'd think this wouldn't be difficult. Apparently it is.

^^ Pretty much what he said. Since players make the Foundry quests, the quality is going to vary from one extreme to another. Some people design quests to be EZ blast throughs just to do the daily quest requirement, others make crazy hard things with enemies placed in huge clumps really close together, etc. Some are meant for solo/2 playrs, some for 5, etc. There's also apparently still quite a few limitations to the Foundry editor in terms of quest pathing, dialogue pathing, etc. I tried taking a quick peek at it once, and while it's sorta interesting, it doesn't appear to be anything as complex as, say, the Elder Scrolls editors.

I think I like the snakes a bit better too ... altho, in my ideal world, what I might like best is a combo of the two. Keep the snakes, but make them a bit more wispy/smoky or something, vs. being quite as defined as in the original pic.

I could use a good mystery adventure type game (doesn't have to be 3D, but I don't like "platform" styling very much), but whenever I look for one, nothing really appeals. I wonder if GoG's version of The Last Express works. My ancient PC version had a bug that crashed the game early on, which annoyed me because it seemed like a good game.

Transparency doesn't mean Kaz's art isn't there. It's just translucent. I've seen it in other games. But yeah...I'm not highly expectant of a slider. It'd just be nice. I find translucency to give me more of the illusion that less of the screen is covered up, that's all.

Ah. Well, slider it is then. Hear that, Josh/team? Transparency slider. Gimmie.

Have they said that? I wouldn't mind some border art but I like having transparency vs. totally solid. Maybe they could have a transparency slider....
