Sure, I'll take some screenshots of my build and post them here when I get home. Soloing is a piece of cake pretty much no matter how you build your character, so my build is focused on working in a party. Luckily, the stuff that works for party play works just as well for soloing for a GWF (whereas a party focused CW build may not work so well for soloing and vice versa). You have to understand what your role in a party is. The GWF's role is to dish out steady damage to multiple enemies. There are ways to build the GWF to be more defense minded, but that's not the GWF's role, that's what the GF is for. My build is mostly focused on damage, I rely on lifesteal, my Acolyte of Kelemvor, and (in a party) the cleric to keep me alive. Again, I'll go more in depth and post pics when I get home.

Ah, the Bababooey first pitch. Classic. Sawx got blanked last night but lost no ground since the Rays have gone into all out tailspin mode. 5 1/2 games at this point in the season is a fairly secure lead, but the 3 game set at The Trop still looms on the horizon, so nothing is set in stone.

Jools Watsham from Renegade Kid reached out to Inafune to bring Mighty No. 9 to 3DS http://www.destructoid.com/renegade-kid-offers-to-help-bring-mighty-no-9-to-3ds-261185.phtml As a very happy owner of Big N's portable all I can say is:

Better to compare with best RPG out that year. Fixed that for ya Fixed it for both of you.

Well, he does fly in standard superhero flying pose with his fists stretched out before him, so he might well punch through it as he stretches out into flying pose.

I'm curious how Capcom will handle this. The way I see it, there are 3 choices: 1) Lawyer up 2) Do nothing 3) Give Inafune their blessing Just for fun, I BioWare-ified it:

For me that's a plus, rather than a minus. I can still drive if I really want to, but in the past in SR3, SR2, or GTA <insert number or subtitle> there were times when driving to the mission location just got tedious and time consuming. Now I can get wherever in all of 15 or 20 seconds. Problem solved. To each their own, I guess. For me it's more like "why bother putting in cars in the first place?" The only point to them after getting the super sprint and jump is that you have to drive in those car thef- I mean, virus acquisition diversions. The only real value they have is comedic in the way they fly straight up into the air and disappear when you run past them with fully upgraded super sprint. If they didn't have cars there would be a contingent of people crying "waaa waaa waaa, there are no cars to drive". Well, they're there. Are they obsolete? Yes, but they're there in case someone wants to drive them. Besides, they're fun to toss around with telekinesis.

I personally liked this better than SR3, they're both great games, though. I thoroughly enjoyed all the telekinesis-based activities, I thought they were a great addition. Plus, getting some old-school Shaundi put a smile on my face.

Sawx get the sweep today and have taken 5 of the first 6 on this home stand. Starting tomorrow they have a tough series with the Tigers. Hopefully they can keep the lead they've built up for the coming week so they have a bit of a cushion heading into the series at The Trop that will go a long way toward deciding the AL East.

Because French accents are associated with running away, gelatinous cheese, duplicity and small, unreliable motor cars. Only accents from This Blessed Plot can convince 'Muricans that there is a proper villain about. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, don't be hatin' on French cheeses.

That's how I feel when I read about you fine folks waxing poetic about games like Company of Heroes or <something>: Total War. I know they're great games, I also know how ruthlessly I'd get obliterated in one of those games, on account of how much I suck at RTS games.

Frankly, after the DA2 trainwreck I'll happily take a tired and true "save the world" story. Although doing something akin to MotB would be fantastic. They're not running a Kickstarter, so they can't really do a Ziets or Avellone stretch goal.

It's pretty telling about Capcom that it's gotten to the point where Megaman devs are now making their own blatant Megaman knockoff because Capcom has banned Megaman forever. It looks much better than just another Megaman sequel, anyway. Yeah, this is so obviously Inafune & Co. telling Capcom to eat a ****, and obviously, unabashedly as Mega Man clone as Mega Man clone gets. I'm all for it, Capcom can go **** themselves. They quite obviously are content to just let the blue bomber fade out of existence. They cancelled the last bunch of Mega Man projects and have done a bunch of nothing with the IP ever since. They didn't even really do anything for Mega Man's 25th anniversary. If they're not going to do anything with the blue bomber, and it's painfully obvious that they won't, then this is as close to another Mega Man game we're ever going to get. I just hope Inafune has some legal council on just how close he can stray to the series he helped create without getting his pants sued off. They're going to make funding EASILY, they may make the initial goal today. I kind of hope they hit the far out consoles stretch goal. Even though I'll be playing it on PC, so it wouldn't make a difference to me, it would just be weird not to have this on consoles. This, Rayman Legends, a new Shantae (Shantae!) on 3DS announced, Shovel Knight incoming soon. So much good 2D platforming.

Holy **** he got clowned on that curveball.

Keiji Inafune Kickstarter? Mega Man spiritual successor? ON PC? It can't be... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9

Still playing Saints Row 4 and having a blast. Super Power Fight Club is the only activity I outright dislike. As far as brand new activities, the multi-colored telekinesis throwing balls at targets is my favorite. Insurance Fraud is still, and likely will always be, my favorite activity overall. It never gets old. I'm likely pretty close to the end of the game now. I could have finished it a long time ago, but I keep doing side activities and collecting data clusters. There have been some hilarious mainline quests, like the Meal Gear level, Matt's fanfic, text adventure, and Saints of Rage. Also, whoever did the voice acting for Zynyak is my hero. I'd like to shake their hand and give them a hug. Zynyak is so amazing to listen to, both in the storyline and on the classical station (his portrayal of Romeo is AWESOME). The part where he had me is stitches.

I've had the most fun with Anjali, gameplay wise.

So that was you on the tiger. I should have known. I want the pig more than the boar. I've found that it's not worth trying to win the events, you get all the same prizes whether you finish in the gold bracket or the copper bracket, just slightly more for higher bracket. Not worth the work. I just basically kill one troll or herd one or two chickens, then let the event run its course while I alt+tab out of the game and browse the net or make myself a sammich or something.

Did you notice the box says "live snakes handle with care"? Yeah. I also love the comments from the guards.

LOL at the Metal Gear level. That had me cracking up.

I wonder what happens if you use the training manual on the pig to get it to rank up. Do you get an armored pig?

The pig looks pretty awesome. I'll easily get enough blossoms or whatever the currency is before the festival is over to get one without really trying.

Whoever did the BG2 portraits had some strange fascination with putting scars around people's eyes.
