Thanks! Looks like the Zenbook is at the top of my list unless something better comes out before mid July

George Takei reviews a rabbit on Amazon

Sorry, I'm trying to find something around $2,000 USD or less but willing to a bit higher if needed but will probably not go more than $2,500. I'd really like a 13.3" because I really want something super portable but I would be okay with larger as long as it is still thin and light. I'll be using it mostly for travel so I would like to be able to play Kickstarter type games but nothing really graphic intensive. I don't really care what it looks like but sexy is always better than not. Thanks again

I'm currently in the market for a new laptop as well but I was thinking something more along the lines of an ultrabook type if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks

Still level 26 because after playing for a while I got the urge to go play DDO for a while. The problem with that is that DDO occasionally crashes my video card for some reason... I should probably look into that but I most likely won't and just switch back to Neverwinter

Neverwinter is basically DDO: Dark Alliance EDIT- I think for the first 4 or 5 levels your skills are automatically assigned but then you get to pick after that and I think around 10 or so you start to get feat points. Every 10 levels you also get more stat points.

It is micro-transaction bait but you can get them and everything else without spending any actual money. Zen - $1 = 100 Gold/Silver/Copper coins - standard game currency Astral Diamonds - From dailies, Leadership, invocation. Used for auctions and speeding up tasks and some other things Tsomethingrandom bars Coins of (magical critter) - drops from bosses and bounties. Trade for gear and changes for level range Some other coins I don't remember - 2 different ones from invocation. One you can exchange for the different coins of (magical critter) and the other for something else It's part of all the different currencies that the game has that I was complaining about earlier but you can exchange astral diamonds for Zen at varying exchange rates. EDIT a key is 125 Zen or $1.25 or currently about 60k Astral Diamonds and you can refine 24k Astral Diamonds a day but you can get more (without paying money) by selling on the AH or trading things for them I believe.

More Neverwinter Hit level 26 and still cruising along on my control wizard. I'm finding crafting to be frustrating as it's all time based and it's starting to take a long, long time to finish missions. The currency system is also a bit strange for me with all the different currency types

This reminds me of both my mom and my grandma because Tracy Chapman was one of my mom's favorites and BB King was definitely my grandma's favorite

Rebooted like a thousand servers then had cake

I'm on Mindflayer as well

Trying Neverwinter now too Got my Control Wizard to level 11 and I like it so far but it's like a much faster paced DDO based on 4 edition rules with slightly cartoonish graphics

I gave up on the color test. I got half way through the second bar and had enough. It tested my patience and I lost

I kind of liked Oblivion too and also felt that it had some pacing issues. I'm a little wary of the new Star Trek movie as I'm afraid it's going to be even more into "action movie set in Star Trek universe" territory. If that makes any sense

I'm impressed that they actually created a separate(ish) matrix Update here

Your updates about this MMO are interesting. I am considering trying this MMO out? I highly recommend doing so. It can be a bit overwhelming to get into, but it has a lot to love. We have a few people here who play pretty regularly, or used to at least. It's free to play makes it easy to try out, although subscribing opens up a lot of options too. I would also recommend trying it out ... as long as you aren't an OCD completionist it's pretty easy to get into if a bit grindy at times. And it's better than arguing piracy on the internet

Ha! All of the above Except for the MREs, I enjoyed those

I'm with Nep, the military ruined camping for me too. But after reading all these stories (and the passage of time) I'm starting to get the urge to get back out to the wilderness. My wife is more of a glamper though so it'll more likely be a solo outing or a weekend with the guys.

Dabbling a bit with Defiance in between bouts of LOTRO and Civ 5. I'd like to check out the new planet in SWTOR but my wife and I are still on Voss and haven't had much time to play lately Defiance is okayish but I've never been into shooters but I bought it because I was bored of Lord of the Things. LotRO - Bored with my 85 Runekeeper as my kin doesn't have the numbers to run any of the new instances (or any instances really) and I don't usually enjoy pick up groups. Tried playing some lower levels but the game is so grindy and vast that I get overwhelmed or just bored before I make much progress. Civ 5 - Been playing as the Polynesians a lot lately, they may be my new favorite Civ.

My wife doesn't like the show at all but she really enjoyed the last five minutes of the last episode

I like that people are arguing about it in the comments as if it was a real story

I backed it for $25 even though I never really got into the one JA game I played a fool and his money and all that

Neutral Good Elf Sorcerer (5th Level) Ability Scores: irolltwenties I do tend to pick caster classes in games

I forgot about the Mentalist and Supernatural I only watch about half of the shows on the TV though, just the ones I watch with my wife. The other half I watch on the computer while doing other things like playing games or working
