Still playing Torchlight and now that Ive gotten further I take back the stuff I said earlier, there is enough diversity in dungeon layout and critters. Thank god for the dog/pack mule. With the Monty Haul this game puts out Im sending him back to town at least once per level.

My condolences Meshugger. Sounds like he had a good run though.

Why does your birthday depress you v_o? The whole "one day closer to the grave" thing?

Ive gotten a little further into Torchlight now (lvl 12) and its a mixed bag. Its a mindless clickity-click fest (which I dont have a problem with) and its fun to play for a few hours here and there. Unfortunately, unless there is a lot more to come, it seems a little redundant. I fight the same skeletal archers, zombies, spiders and oozes and all they do is scale to my level. I was hoping to see a lot more beastiary and the occasional "named" one every two levels doesnt count. The dungeons seem pretty much the same too as Im already seeeing a lot of recycled layouts. They claim to have randomized dungeons and monsters but Im not seeing it yet. Maybe it gets more diverse in the later levels?

Was buying a Harley ridiculously expensive in the UK?

Downloaded the demo and played Torchlight. Loved it and immediately bought the full game.

Lol, she was right on:

Thats one magnificent moustache!

Why do you torture yourself so?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. That good sir is a space battleship, not a space submarine. Ill not have you besmirching the good name of my favorite childhood cartoon, Star Blazers. Not to quote myself but holy crap, buying the DVD sets is expensive! /derail

Torchlight looks pretty cool, I think Ill download the demo tonight. At FOUR TIMES the cost of Space Siege it better be good!

Bummer. Thanks for the input though.

So Space Siege is on sale at Steam for $5.10. It has a pretty crappy Metacritic score (60) but it so cheap it almost doesnt matter. Thoughts?

Good for them. We should be doing the exact same thing. As an aside, I was watching a show on Discovery channel a while back that predicted we should achieve fusion reactors within the next 10 years.

Took wifey to see The Switch. A few chuckles here and there.

Heh, I really enjoyed those movies.

I spent almost 8 years working nights in the Navy, either 7pm to 7am (while at sea) or 11pm to 7am (while shore based) and I loved it. It takes a bit of getting used to because when you get off its not like you go immediately to sleep, you do your normal after work things, so you wind up with a really wonky sleep schedule where in your case youre going to be sleeping from like 10am to 7pm. In my case there were several positives to that schedule: 1) the bosses usually arent around to muck things up 2) it free's up your day hours to take care of any errands 3) its not as hot (this sounds crazy but try working on a flight line in the middle of a summer day ). I know #3 has no bearing on you but 1 and 2 apply. One word of warning though, if you are in a relationship where your other half works days, it really strains the relationship as you basically spend zero time together.

Mkreku is a paladin of Mystra.

The hardest battle for me in the entire tower was the room just before you decend into Demogorgons level. I must have replayed that battle 10 times.

Seems like resales are ramping up:

Sorry, I tried to snap a closeup but the hair just kept getting in the way.

I thought about it. I did plead that I was a teacher and I was just trying to pick up a few school supplies during my very short break. Think of the children, officer! I usually just unbutton the top three buttons of my shirt and bust out some cleavage. Works every time.

One way is to host the photo at say Photobucket and then just use the tags. So it would look like this: urltoyourpicture[/img}
