Simcity and the ongoing love for EA... as the new 2.0 patch fails to patch things.

Selling Panzer Dragoon Saga? I'm married too, and I have to say... there are a lot of women out there. Way more than copies of that game. ;)

I can't take it anymore, i'm going to break the NDA. In this version you make.... characters. These characters have skills, and also equipment.

I really, really wish I could rant.

This is nice... I was pissed when I got the game box in store in Nov only to find out I wouldn't be able to play for nearly a year. Not sure how to add people yet, but account name: zshadez

Downloading client now and will likely binge on caffeine and be on the entire weekend up time.

Beta key!

That was my response. "Eh... well, let's see how it looks... sweet mother of God. I needs it."

Wait.... what? I'm just going to assume this is some sort of sick joke.

Phantasy Star Online 2... hopefully.

Just started this tonight since I couldn't get into D3 at all... very impressed. Over easily impressed. Just the lighting and water effects on the beach pleased me. From something I'd heard described as a D2 clone I didn't expect such prettiness, or to be getting 170+ fps in a not fully optimized beta.

The trade system I haven't played with enough to say much about. It is definitely confusing at first, but if it cuts down on gold spam and massive inflation most online games end up with these days I'm more than willing to put some time into learning it. Being able to turn normal item drops into magic or rare drops is pretty interesting. The passive tree is insane, but in a great way. Slightly reminds me of FFXII, except you know what you're working towards.

I tried to like D3, I really did. Just finished reinstalling D2. I like build options. I like trying goofy builds, like throw-barb Everyone learning the same skills to the same power and just picking which they use? Magic being more powerful because you're holding a bastard sword instead of a dagger? ... meh.

How better to celebrate the occasion?

Resignation from my job went effective today, but I didn't get into the beta... bah.

5771 Maximum @ 720, which is my gaming setting on this monitor for to be able to read things.

Mickeymac92 - Just built a gaming PC for $400.

Mobo: GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: FX-8320 8 core 3.5ghz, running at 4.4ghz easily.
RAM: 8GB... haven't needed more
Gfx: HIS HD 7770

It's not the most uber thing ever, but it was a very cheap build that has no issues in gaming and the graphics card and ram can be upgraded as needed.

Wow, slightly pissed off here.

My mother knows I loved FF as a kid and when she asked my wife she found out I didn't have XIV. She bought it for me for Christmas (for $39.99). I have been working a lot, without much time to game, but I have 2 very light months starting Jan 1st and so I happily opened the game and went to register... HA.

I'm lost as to why a MMO PC game was stocked in stores when they were taking the servers down and killing it. I've never played XIV so I'm not super interested in leaving this thing sit here for 6 months before ARR release and either paying or getting that at a discount.

They should have pulled this game from shelves far earlier.
