That's a tough question, as quite a few can use them. I like the new Warden class, they use spears to fight (but I think other 2-handers work), and they can toss javelins. They have all sorts of different combos they can pull off called gambits. Champions are your pure fighters, and they can use two-handed weapons very effectively. Captains also usually stick to the two-handed weapons. While they don't have the DPS of the Champion, they have a lot of fantastic buffs and healing to bail themselves or a group out of trouble. My two handed axe is pretty wicked, it's a second age weapon, so it levels up and gains new abilities.

Great, I'm still out of town for another week, but I'll try to catch up with you when I get back.

Woohoo! Stick with it if you can, it slows down a bit between levels 15-30, but after 30 it has been a complete blast to play for me. Actually they changed to level pace a bit, so you might not notice a slowdown.

Lag and bad performance should be expected from a beta. I'm trying to play the trial for CoH, and I just can't get into it. I don't know why, it seems like a really fun game, but maybe I'm mentally blocked by any non-fantasy MMO's or something.

All three are very good. The Witcher is probably the longest, but I'm not sure if that's a positive as it is the only one of the three I didn't finish. Fallout 3 was my favorite of the bunch.

While not a personal favorite, it seems a bit silly to label the best selling movie ever as the worst movie ever made.

Day 10 - We forgot the camera, so no pictures today. I went to the Family History place in Salt Lake City, and found out some fascinating information on a grandmother I knew little about. Her parents were both on their second marriage and in their 40's when they had her, and her roots go back to England in 1874 on one side and the 1700's on the other. Unfortunately I'm at a dead end with one of my grandfather's, and the other was adopted. I might go back to try again in a couple days. Other than that, we converted to the Mormon church, praise Jesus. Ok, not really, but boy is this the place to do it!

Who cares? If we all show up to the Canadian boondocks, he won't have the nerve to turn us away. Wait a sec, December? Isn't that when everything is frozen where you live?

Don't be too hard on your team, Sanchez is a special pitcher, he is just (usually) unable to find any consistency. He's the kind of pitcher that will no hit a team for 5 innings then melt down in the 6th for a bunch of runs. It's frustrating as hell. Hopefully this little gem will allow the Giants to move him for a decent hitter, they've been shopping him all year I believe.

Looks like they were hacked. Pretty lame, to hack a site that offers itself as pretty much a free hosting service. Hopefully they will be able to recover and restore the images soon enough.

Crap, I think some losers hacked imageshack. Here's the pic

Um...I don't have one? I think it's Hurlshot, I'll check it when I get back from my trip. I'm buying a new TV, so I'll probably be on it a lot, but I only play Saint's Row 2 biznitch. Gotsta represent yo.

Are you joking?? Nope. I played the heck out of every game in the series, and the core game play is the same. Granted Oblivion requires a few mods to straighten it out, but what exactly do you think is so hugely different? Sure, Daggerfall was much bigger, but it was also randomized, which I'm not a big fan of.

CoD4 had single player stuff?

Daggerfall was a fantastic game for its time, but it isn't that much different than Morrowind or Oblivion, and so I don't see why I would want to go back.

It's going to be hard to top Moonwalker.

Good luck! Don't lose the ring.

Actually, Buddhist extremists in Sri Lanka are quite violent and target other religious groups. They've even attacked schools.

Day 9 - We made the drive to Salt Lake city, which was very impressive. There were a ton of great red rocks all around, and I think I'll have to stay in the town of Moab next time, as it seems to be an adventure's paradise. Rock climbing, off-roading, river rafting, sky diving, you name it and I saw a sign for it! We saw a few of the great arches, and we even climbed up to one here: My wife drove for a couple hours today too, her first time driving the RV. It was extremely nice to be able to sleep in the back while someone else knocked out a hundred miles. Tomorrow we start exploring Salt Lake City.

I'm really hoping to find out some family history in the hall of records they have there. I hear it is fantastic, and I've had trouble getting information out of my dad's side of my family. People are always asking about my last name, and I'd like to be able to answer some day.

Like any plumber could afford to live in Los Gatos! I'm not sure about the pedophile charges against Jackson. I think it is more likely that he was mentally unstable and was trying to act out his own childhood.

Day 8 - We relaxed in town today and took my daughter swimming, which is her new favorite word. Tomorrow we head for Salt Lake City. I bought a 12-pack from Ska Brewing that was supposed to have 10-pin porter, which taks recommended. It was a combination pack with 4 different beers, but for some reason the Porter wasn't in there! That's ok, so far the others are very good anyways. Now I'm bbq-ing some fresh salmon :D

Now if they will only release Skynet, we will be in good shape. Skynet might just be the best movie license game ever.

I took the "infinite patience" trait a few levels back and it has helped when dealing with a child. I actually just find it easy to deal with young children, I even taught kindergarten for a year. I'm much more worried about taking a teenager on vacation, but my wife teaches High School so we have the spectrum covered. Skylar is two, and she has her tantrums. She is very good in public, in fact we went to a nice restaurant last night and she was just an angel (and we go to dinner early to avoid the crowds.) But then we got home and she was bouncing off the walls causing trouble. She was really just tired and cranky after a long day, so after an hour of fussing she fell asleep. She has actually been asleep for about 10 hours at this point, so I think we wore her out pretty well. That's the key with the young ones, keep them active.

I've always wanted to travel around Europe staying in old castles. Unfortunately barring a lottery win, I probably have a couple decades to go before that will be a realistic vacation.
