Yeah some good long awaited games coming out before the end of the world! Kidding of course. But D3 and ME3 cannot get here soon enough. Even playing through ME2 agian just to have a current save to continue with.

The fears people have had about D3 not being as "dark" as D1/2 have been unfounded. Playing through what is open in the beta has been excellent and fit the overall mood of what you'd expect from a Diablo game. Here's the thing, they have streamlined, or "dumbed down" it from D2. D2 had stamina, that is gone and its awesome. Stamina had no use other than being annoying. Item identification is gone, which was just another minor money sink/annoyance. I havent seen a town portal scroll yet, but I havent had to use one yet. Stats grow occording to your class, and are enhanced by gear instead of spending x points per level like D2. Personally I dont really like that, but I can see why they did it. It was awful easy to gimp a char if you didnt put points into the right stat. Case in point, if you got to hell difficulty in D2 as a barbarian, if you havent put enough points in vitality or your resistant talent you were screwed with no way to respec. With my limited amount of playtime thus far I dunno how resists will play into it like D2, but overall is a nice change. Gear is as you'd expect. Armor rating/various states on armor vs dps and effects on weapons. My barb atm is rocking vampire effect weapons that give health per hit. I've only played through with a barb so far, but mana is gone from them. No more having a skill that takes mana and if you dont have a + mana per hit item being out of mana to use your skills in 4 hits. Mana for a barb is in the form of Rage ala WoW if anyone has played a warrior in WoW. You have skills that generate rage, and skills that use rage. Starting out you will have bash as your main attack that generates 6 rage per hit, and hammer of... something that uses 20 rage and hits a small AoE around the main target. After getting a few levels I got a sweeping attack that does less damage than bash but its multiple mobs in front of the barb and generates 5 rage per hit. Not as much rage, but more dps overall in groups when used with the hammer move. I'd say thus far it feels like a combo of D1 and D2 skillwise, but only got to play about 3 hours today before the servers came down. Will take some video with Fraps and post it as I go.

I am in beta, who else?

Wow.

Come to think of it I'll pass on that info on the subgun-ordnance conv kit to my uncle. He bought the last transferable SMG we had.

Awwww! Come to find out Action Arms sold conversion kits from IMI and a couple different manufacturers for the semi. I havent done a whole lot of searching, but the one's I have found from closed auctions on gunbroker/gunsamerica have gone pretty high. Well, high for a 22 conv kit in my opinion heh. Looks like I'll be saving up.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us So I lucked out and was able to snag a Uzi model B today. Gun is NIB and appears to be unfired.... for now. SBR papers inc! EDIT: Oh, and thats the dummy barrel in case any is wondering. It has the 16" in the box.

Yeah that was pretty epic. He had to know that question was coming at some point though, but the timing couldnt have been better I don't think.

Game. Set. Match.

I enjoy gaming, Caster. Am I non-productive? Stop painting with such wide brushstrokes sir. This isnt the 80's and early 90's anymore where the stereotypical "nerd" actually fit.

The Palm has always been exceptional everytime I've taken my wife there. Think they are posted though if that bothers you. Top Nashville Steakhouses: The Palm: Nashville Steak Restaurant, Downtown Private Dining Reservations are required also I believe.

They are, but they don't. I think it was........... mid-November? TBI was having alot of computer problems and their website was going up and down all day. I managed to log in briefly one time during the day and before the website went down agian I was able to open our transaction screen which was a list of all our background checks we had run..... in April. I got a screenshot of it somewhere around here.

I never did. Always wanted to, but never knew anyone that did or wanted to buy invest any money into it growing up. I attack the darkness!

Man, I wish the gun industry was like the tire industry. I've worked in the gun business for ten years and grew up with the owner of G&L for a father, and I still don't know jack crap most the time! And before you tire guys get up in arms, its a joke people!

I liked the Dark Brotherhood questline, was more morbid than it typically is and it suits a guild of assassins that worship the night mother. Getting locked in a <spoiler removed> with the Night Mother was different, to say the least. I still have not done the thieves guild as much as I've played this game, and just now got around to doing the stormcloak/empire questline. Still need to get around to doing the Forsworn.

Yeah I remember playing my mage and moving the difficulty slider all the way to hard. First bandit with a two-hander I encountered one shotted me. I toned it down a little after that. The mods so far have been a bit on the hack-job side, though. Once the dev kit is released in... a week I think? The mod scene will explode. There is already a huge overhaul project being worked on.

So yeah. Been wanting to play some co-op or 1v1 fighting games like Killer Instinct using an emulator with SNES games. I use a controller for my emulators, so really if you dont have one for a fighting game like KI or Street Fighter you will prolly get slaughtered unless you are the God of the keyboard. Either way, non fighting games like Mario/Donkey Kong and the like are still easy to play with a keyboard. Basically, if you want to have a fun retro time, Pm me and I'll give you instructions on how to set it up. It's real easy. Tired of playing by myself!

That's like getting endorsed by Jimmy Carter.

Anyone play this at all? I bought it when it came out and fooled around for a bit, but I've been playing it more and more lately and would like folks to compete with. So far been using alot of England/Japan with a bit of Rome and China thrown it. China is OP~

Front sights are dovetailed on loaded models and the rear is a Novak (I think Novak). That is a mil-spec that he dressed up to kinda-somewhat look like a loaded. My 2cp's.

The new rifle looks like a straight up ripoff of a Savage even right down to the acutrigger.

Dealer - Kroll International, LLC They do alot of LE/Mil gear and holsters and the like. You could also do 5.11/Blackhawk direct from the manufacturer, but not sure what the requirements are exactly.

It surprises me how many people actually believe in that BS. How many "End of the World"'s have we gone through now? Please.
