Thanks. I was torn between Santa hat and reindeer antlers, I went with the hat. I wonder if you could fit a Santa hat on top of the cat on top of the Beefeater? I just got the Rod of Ultimate Fishing +5 earlier today myself. I only have just over 500 lights so far. I'll still easily get the fawn pet before all is said and done, but I don't have the patience to grind out more than one, plus I put in some time each day doing the daily Dread Ring quests.

Not Ubisoft, Limbic Entertainment. Just as surprisingly, Ubisoft allowed them too.

Isn't one of the main RPS dudes behind Sir, You Are Being Hunted?

Playing Wasteland 2 is like biting into a piece of peanut brittle while someone scratches you behind the ear and 70s classic rock plays in the background. Happy?

I didn't know Igoudala was injured. How long will he be out?

Even with thorough testing, there will inevitably be exploits and abilities that don't work exactly as intended that players discover once the game is released. I could see Obsidian patching those. Beyond that, I'm not sure how much post-release balancing there will be.

What has happened to the Warriors? If the playoffs were to start today (which they obviously don't) Golden State would not be in them. Now, I'm not suggesting the Warriors won't make the playoffs, because 3/4 of the season is still ahead of us and I can't see Golden State not making it in, but they've seriously plummeted in the standings and are making things difficult for themselves to get home court in the 1st round. Meanwhile, the Thunder beat the Spurs in San Antonio for their 9th straight win. Durant had an off night shooting, but it didn't matter because both Westbrook and Reggie Jackson had great nights. Reggie Jackson has been terrific so far this year, particularly over the last 3 weeks or so. He's rounding into that 3rd prolific scorer that OKC desperately need if they're going to make a serious run at the title.

More importantly, who, on this forum of all places, doesn't already own KotOR2? Me. Infidel!

Just killed a Bluejaws in The Last Remnant. That battle was pretty freakin' awesome. Rare monster battles are the best. It took me 4 tries to do it. Looking back at it, I probably would have been way better off going with 2 unions (4 and 5) rather than 3 unions of 3, oh well, a lesson for next time.

I'll get a fawn eventually, I have a long way to go. The mimic is what I want the most, but that one will take 15 more days. No way around 1 star per day to the best of my knowledge.

Lady C, you are a hopeless collect-o-holic.

We have an actual release date: 1/23/2014 (at least for the NA, I wan't able to watch the UK video): UK NA

Got through the Fiery Idol battle on my first try on the return trip. Having a more durable union was the key, though having a better weapon didn't hurt. I've since had my Combat Tabar-Zin strengthened to +1 then upgraded it to Warrior's Tabar-Zin +1.

I remember this when the campaign first started. It's a cool looking game. I hope it gets funded.

Ugh. The dreaded conversation wheel. Thanks a ****ing lot, BioWare. Not a fan of the whole social stuff, but I could just ignore it easily enough, the same way I ignore all social networking now. Looks pretty decent otherwise.

So Kobe is out again. Same leg, too. I hate to say it (I don't like Kobe personally, but I respect him as an athlete), but this is almost certainly the end of Kobe as an elite player.

It's true, South Park is very much about pushing the boundaries of good taste, or any kind of taste for that matter.

Just Melee Stance and Arrow of Athlum. I'm going to go with Arrow of Athlum with Rush as the leader, Baulson in the #2 slot as the "arrowhead", and Oakes in the #3 slot on one flank. I think the #2 slot gets the most attack bonus, and Baluson is my heaviest hitter.

Okay, so grinding to raise my battle rank at this point would be pointless. In fact, it would probably be counterproductive and it would hinder units I acquire in the future catching up to my current units and acquiring abilities. My hope is that with the union of Rush, Oakes, and Baulson, I'll be able to finish off most enemy unions in a single round. Many times before I would come really close and leave the enemy unions with a sliver of health, then another enemy union would heal them (while I shook my fist at them ). Oakes can heal, he's just not as good at it as McGrady, but he's a better offensive unit (physical attacks, anyway). If I swap McGrady in, then I'll probably use mystic arts more often. So far I'm not frustrated despite having my ass handed to me 4 times in a row. It's a fun challenge and I haven't explored all my tactical options yet.

It's Saints Row 4 anal probing all over again. Oh Australia, keep being Australia so the rest of the world can point their finger and laugh at you. (Though outside of wacky censorship laws, I hear Australia is pretty freakin' cool)

Yeah, I have McGrady in my reserves. If things don't go well with my Rush/Oakes/Baulson union I may swap out Oakes and swap in McGrady and see how it goes with him. When do you get the ability to employ more units at a time? Is it a function of battle rank? (I'm battle rank 6 right now)

I just ran into a roadblock in The Last Remnant. My first battle where I was hopelessly overmatched. Got slaughtered 4 times in a row last night and never even came close to winning. Not only am I outnumbered, but the boss (Fiery Idol) does an area attack that hits all my unions and can insta-kill everyone that's not close to 100%. The problem is that I can't just concentrate on the boss in hopes of taking him out quick like (which I'm assuming would end the fight right then and there) because I don't have enough firepower to take him out in 1 round and the enemy unions would flank and rear attack the bejesus out of me and tear me up, so I'm forced to deal with the other unions first, and while I'm doing that the boss just ****s my **** up. So I went back and did a bit of farming for components (turns out Rush having a cheesy starter tabar-zin for that fight might not have been a good idea) and I plan to return and try again today. I'm still early in the game and can only do a max of 3 people in my party. Before that I had my party separated into 2 unions: Rush and Oakes in one union and Baulson by himself in another union. I didn't think I would need to grind or farm yet because all the fights up to that point were pretty easy as long as I initiated combat and didn't do something stupid, but that boss fight changed all that. I'm going to try putting Rush Baulson and Oakes into a single union. I'll lose flexibility and with one less union it means I'll get flanked more, but having the characters separated into 2 unions made them way too fragile for that battle. I fully expect to get my ass handed to me, even with the stronger single union and Rush having a combat tabar-zin, but I should hopefully have a better shot at it.
