So yeah, Warframe got old really fast. Still using the exact same starter stuff after 10 hours playing (I'd like to try a sniper rifle with a better secondary weapon) and not even getting to try anything new for quite a while more (unless I want to drop a lot of cash) all while still fighting basically the same enemies is a bit dull. So I broke down and bought The Witcher 3, which is currently installing.

No sorry, I was about to never ever comment on the USA again but now I realize my views are misunderstood....so I have to start all over again I like you Vaeliorin, you seem to be sincere so I'll be honest Why would you think the word " disrespectful " would be appropriate around me stopping....disrespectful has never been a word I even considered. I have said it must be annoying at times But do you think just because you live in the USA you are an authority on the political reality or that must mean I surly cant have a valid point? Come on dude thats such a strange thing to say .....its like you think the USA operates in a vacuum But for me I will never stop commenting on the USA because the USA is part of much more important view I have around Western ideology and how important that is to overall global prosperity. I'm sorry you got pulled into a broader reality but its best you just get use to my comments or dispute them? Surly I cant be that bad? Okay I tell you what....if 5 other Americans say the same to me now I'll seriously consider your view...is that fair? I mean the last thing I want to be seen as is inconsiderate How can voicing your opinion be disrespectful just because you don't live in America. That makes no sense, sorry Vaeliorin. Would my comments be considered disrespectful as well, because I was not born here? I have double citizenship at the moment, does that make my comments disrespectful? Did you miss the post right below the one you quoted where I explained it was a joke?

I just couldn't find anything I wanted to play, so given some of the good feedback, I decided to try Warframe. It's pretty fun, though I don't imagine I'll get too far in it (I don't think I'll be good enough, or want to spend the time.)

I now want to go down to CBS and punch everyone.

**** me man, how am I supposed to top that when I die? I intend to be reanimated as a zombie kept in a cage around my burial site. Either that or have a giant fire-breathing dragon as a marker.

Wow...Polygon is even worse than I am, and I quit playing FPS games years ago because I'm so terrible at them. I can at least headshot enemies that are standing still or running straight at me. Can't hit anything moving laterally, though. ETA: The weird thing is, I do fine with 3rd person shooters. There's just something about first person that messes with my hand-eye coordination.

Can I just be mad about it as a Tigers fan? He should be striking out 20 people for the Tigers, not striking out 20 Tigers!

What I mean by unknowable is that you can often assume someone's reason for doing something, but it's very rare (I'd say it's nearly impossible) to know someone's reason for doing something (especially given how often people can't truly identify their own motivations for their actions.) Basically, I think it's impossible to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt someone's motivation for doing something, and therefore don't think that there should be an elevated criminal status such as hate crimes.

The thing is, motive, in and of itself, is not enough to convict. And yet, it is enough to take a crime from regular crime to hate crime. So you're punishing someone further for something that is, generally, unknowable.

The next difficulty. Half of the shrines I believe are on the harder difficulty settings. There are 28 shrines in Normal/Veteran, 17 in Elite, and 14 in Ultimate. One of the shrines is only doable once you're at Honored reputation with the Rovers. And yes, Loghorrean is the final boss. If you want to know where the shrines are...http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26777

You forgot the A. It's an action RPG, so of course it's going to be all about killing things.

It will increase any poison damage you do by 18%. So if you have no poison damage, it's worthless.

Ender's Game was on the other day so I thought I'd watch it. That lasted less than 5 minutes before I had to change the channel. I don't think I've ever seen a movie get more wrong in such a short time.

So I've watched some more of The Magicians and it's gotten a lot better. The characters have gotten a lot more likable, but it seems like they've overly compressed some of the story. That whole foxes thing with Alice and Quentin was just terribly handled if it really was an important moment from the books.

Yep. The first 20 hours or so was fun, but once I had everything unlocked, the last 10 hours got a bit repetitive. Definitely was worth the price I paid ($9,00) Anyway, finished the season journey in Diablo 3 (well, not the Slayer bit, but I'm not going to grind enough to be able to do that.) The set dungeons are just terrible. They force you to use specific skills (and often you need specific items that modify the skills to reasonably accomplish the assigned task) and I don't know what difficulty they're intended for, but I was cruising through Torment IV, and got my butt kicked repeatedly trying to do the set dungeon. Time to go back to Spellforce (or maybe Spellforce 2...I'm moderately frustrated with the bugs in Spellforce 1.)

I don't know whether it really counts as fantasy or science fiction (or maybe science fantasy, as Wikipedia describes it, but that doesn't really seem to fit) but you might be interested in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun tetralogy. It isn't light reading by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a good series. I wouldn't say it's exactly what you're asking for, but it also really isn't typical hero's journey.

Bleh...Respawn doesn't exactly have a good track record (or much of a track record at all, honestly). I wonder if it's the revived 1313?

From a gameplay perspective, I hate the Imperial Guard. They're too squishy, their only non-squishy unit was restricted to one at a time in DOW1, and the units are all very one dimensional. I'm also not a fan of Orks gamplay-wise. I'd like to see the Tau return. I liked the Tau. Sisters of Battle were pretty good, Chaos Space Marines were okay, Eldar and Dark Eldar were pretty decent. Necrons units weren't terrible, but I found their mechanics a bit strange (admittedly, I didn't play them a lot.) As long as we don't get campaigns that are like Dark Crusade or Soul Storm (an endless string of essentially random skirmishes doesn't do much for me) I'll be pretty happy.

As is becoming normal for me, I logged into D3 just to do the season journey. Playing a crusader and got a belt that makes a Blessed Hammer spawn every time my Justice hits anyone. So now I've got splitting Justice that spawns splitting Blessed Hamers, which means my entire screen is filled with hammers all the time. It's pretty awesome what it does to large groups. Not so great on single targets, but that's why I've got sky lasers and archer buddies.

Defense Grid 2 is okay, but it's nowhere near as good as the first one. I spent many, many hours playing Defense Grid, but I played through Defense Grid 2 once, and haven't really touched it since (it was so easy I gold-starred every level the first time.)

You know, I've had A Memory Of Light since it came out and I've never read it. I have no idea how the series ends, other than what's in my head. Kind of afraid the ending is terrible.

That seems in keeping with what I've read of the books. It's also why I've only read about the first half of the first book. Changing characters every 5 pages does not a good reading experience make, as far as I'm concerned.

Regardless of intelligence level, it's become pretty clear that there's a lack of common decency (on both sides) in modern society.

Hey, it'd probably be pretty funny. At least we could have a bit of hilarity before settling in for four years of a horrific president.

I've more or less enjoyed Limitless, but that ending of the season finale was some first class bs. Unless it turns out to be a hallucination (which seems unlikely), it was just some deus ex machina garbage to allow there to be more seasons. I'm not sad about there being more seasons, but it seems like there had to be a better way of handling it. Also, I started watching The Magicians, and after 3 episodes it seems like there's basically one major character who's not a complete ****. I know that's kind of trendy nowadays (thanks, Game of Thrones ) but why would I keep watching a show (or reading a book) where I couldn't care less about the characters? They could kill off every major character, and I wouldn't be sad in the slightest.
