Man... I wish awesome stuff like that happened where I live...

OOH! OOH! ME! ME!

The good news is, I got a job. About ****in' time too. It's nothing special, and it's not great.

I work at a movie theatre. I start off at $8.75/hr and get payed commission for each combo, upsize, or adding butter to popcorn I sell.

So, once I get my first paycheck (or second), I might splurge and get Halo 3, Xbox Live, and a router.

You get awesome-points.

:O

I have to admit it only kinda works since I play a sorcerer and not a wizard.

why yes bongo they do. :D

jmac come play with us, even niner is so you have no excuse. make a char and you should be able to get in, we haven't done much yet and are still lvl1.

i shoot da lasers pew pew

i want to use my level 23 elven sorcerer.


also link or whatever.

get skype and friend me (samueldravis). jae hosts the game and we use the power of the internet to connect to her puter, so there's not really any link to give you.

edits: actually, just pm your skype name to either me, jasra, niner, jae or ed. that would probably work better.

How on Earth do you guys do dnd over skype?

It seems like it would be very difficult...

I actually just got back from a session. We started low level and so far I'm just a straightfoward level 2 Druid.

But it's quite difficult to plan gaming sessions during the school year, so I'm quite curious about this concept of dnd via skype.

well sir, jae from SWK hosts the game with this (http://www.nbos.com/products/screenmonkey/screenmonkey.htm), and the rest of us connect to the game. We use skype to yell at each other and argue over who gets loot. it is pretty easy actually, as long as we do not argue too much. :D

/offtopics (I swear I will post no more of this, mods)

goddammit i need a mic

Traded in the old PSP and a bunch of stuff I was not playing, and got something I have been drooling over for months:

I bought a program called Screen Monkey (http://www.nbos.com/products/screenmonkey/screenmonkey.htm) (so I can tie it in to a purchase for purposes of this thread. :D ). There are several tabletop RPG/DnD programs available, both free and paid, that can be used online--that one happened to be the one that worked best for all of us and didn't cost an arm and a leg. There is a free version that you can use to try out to see if it works on your system.
The program has a chat feature and an online dice roller (everyone's on their honor if you don't use it), and you can use their maps or upload yours. You can even draw your own if you like. I'm starting the Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde published campaign which has maps already. I just scanned and cropped each part of the map and saved as a jpg to upload. There are little icons that each person can use as their miniature to move around the map. I host the game and my computer is the 'server' for everyone else to log in via a browser. It works pretty quickly for me, but I have DSL. The maps I've used so far worked OK except for one that was fairly high res and slowed down the load times for some people. Anyway, once everyone has logged in, they pick one of the icons to serve as their miniature and place it on the map, and move it around as needed on their turn. We use PDF files for the character sheets, so I always have a copy of everyone's character, and we Skype during the game (someone else hosts the call) to say what our characters/monsters are all doing. It works pretty well. :) PM me if you'd like more info.

Is Shattered Soul any good? Keep in mind I've only been watching the english dubs, no japanese version or manga.

It's a just a translation of the original Japanese game, so the characters are from around episode 120 of the anime. So it'll be spoilerific for anyone who hasn't at least read the manga.

Yeah you haven't seen some of the characters that are in the game if you're only on 50-something. Thats how it was for me, I watched it on TV but its not going to be airing anymore after I think this next week so I started watching the sub.

Anyways yeah the game is pretty fun I think. It could really use online play but I'm sure multiplayer will be fun at least. I've beaten episode mode with 3 different characters so far, its pretty easy.

4gb

Seems pretty retarded for them to just translate the game right now, instead of waiting for the US audience to get caught up.

If you've been reading the manga you're in the clear.

Still, who the f*** reads the manga, I mean honestly.

^^ Shut up, I have 13 gigs and errr... 7 books of manga.

Got this Wednesday Night (opening day) and played Portal and HL2. Well, I've finished Portal in just over two hours. And after four hours in HL2 I've just gotten out of Nova Prospekt. Achievements wise I got the ones for using only the Gravity Gun in Raven Holm (really friggin hard waiting for the trolley) and I didn't touch the sand once in Sandtraps.

Things I've noticed in HL2:
Vortigaunts look different, they look like they have leathery skin- like a headcrab's, but their eyes look pretty neat.
G-Man's eyes in the beginning look green and more "piercing".
Blood splatter is larger, probably for the console audience to better tell when you hit.
Normal difficulty is pretty easy.
I can still say G-Man's lines in the start before he does, I've seen it so many times.
Vortigaunts' attack effects look nicer (the lighting bits).
There is a new type of combine soldier who is brown with red eyes, they use shotguns.
There is some motion blur.
The technique of "pupil adjusting" in HDR is present.
The flashlight now casts real-time shadows that look really nice. Even self-shadows. It's almost like Stalker quality shadows.
Pistol reload sound is different.
360 controller- Triggers: Primary/Secondary fire; LB: Sprint; RB: Gravity gun short-cut; Y: Light; B: Reload; A: Jump; X: Use/Grab; Back: Order teams.
My personal set-up- RB: Reload (like GoW and H3); Y: Gravity Gun; B: Light
Stationary guns- the fire sound seems bugged.
Airboat and Buggy guns auto-target slightly. Buggy is really easy because you can charge the gun and nail anyone who you see.
The game runs like it's one a high-end computer.
Load times are amazingly short. It may just be my computer but whenever I had to load it would take probably 15-20 seconds. On the 360 it rarely takes over 10 seconds.
As I pointed out to my brother, this game technically has a score of around 48/10 and is worth $130. So if you can, and even if you have played HL2 before, get this game, you'll still like it.

Still, who the f*** reads the manga, I mean honestly.
I do. That way I can say things like "Rukia dies lawl".

So yeah, I finally got my 16GB iPod touch today.

I ****ing love it. It was totally worth the price. I'm happy I sold my soul to Apple.

Have you had any issues with the odd quality of the black coloring on the screen? I haven't really been up to date with the iPod Touch information, so I don't know if it was fixed or not, but I was kinda bummed to hear about it.

Ive used my friends for a bit and I didnt see any odd blackness with the screen.

However his broke in the second day of owning it. But that was his fault.

the touch iPods are fun as hell but I just dont like the sound quality still.

Nope. The only ones who had that defect were the ones sold last month. So if you buy one now there shouldn't be any risk.

I do. That way I can say things like "Rukia dies lawl".

F*** you :mad:

I've finally broke into Episode Two last night and I'm about half way through it. Holy crap, without giving much away there are three cutscenes so far that are the best in game history. There are mini-boss fights that are insane. There was one part where I was looking for a poison zombie and his moaning and grunting sent shivers up my spine. The new vehicle is pretty bad-assed. Acid-lions are way too fast. And I think this game has some of the best graphics ever- just because things aren't bump-mapped and bloomed up the ying-yang doesn't mean it isn't awesome. And to confuse readers: You get to see Alyx's breasts but in an entirely surprising way, lol.

Extreme spoilers, this could will ruin the game for you...
The three cool cutscenes:
1: Alyx gets ambushed by a Hunter, gets impaled, stomped, and becomes comatose. The one time ever when Gordon should of friggin said something. "Hey, uhh, Alyx... Get under the building, there's a hunter out there..." When I first saw her get spiked I just kept going "holy sh*t, holy sh*t,holy sh*t!" It's realistic, not stylized, and tragic as hell.
2: Alyx's "resurrection" scene and the first mano y mano talk with G-Man. Beats the HL2 intro like a pinata. G-Man looks eerily beautiful in this part.
3: The Advisor discovery. You find a baby Advisor and take him off of life-support. Well, things go wrong and what happens right after looks like a Phsys-X Card demonstration effect. Lots of stuff flying around, very very very cool looking.
4: I just saw the Dog vs. Strider fight, awesome stuff, I got to hold the Strider's brain.

There is a God. Assassin's Creed and 8 minutes worth. Holy crap I'm so glad I pre-ordered this. Bioshock, Halo 3, The Orange Box, Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect... timeless block-busters only months from each other.

This is like European Ninja Super Assassin Free Runner Simulator.

2 Really good things.

First off: ORANGE BOX FOR 360!

Second: Blizzard is increasing XP gained from quests in the lvl 20-60 range, and reducing the amount of XP needed to level in patch 2.3 for WoW. F***in BAMF.

In Skate I just had the best crash ever. On the mega ramp I do some kick ass tricks and all. Then I go back up the landing ramp and jump of the side, go into Coffin (lay down on the skateboard) and fall down 40+ feet straight onto another skater. Just complete smash, no way a dude would survive that, his brains would be all over the place.

Lulz. Testing my iPod touch wifi. :D

I can post with my PSP and my DS. Lawl.

Also, I just finished watching The Price is Right with Drew Carrey. It was pretty messy show but there were some crazy contestants and it was a perfect show with 6/6 wins. Also, you'll laugh with him, not at him. It was a fun show.

Free Runner

Now dubbed Parkour.

Gee, forgot that part cause I HAVEN'T FINISHED IT YET! Oh God you ****! :mad:

Also no, that wipe-out is okay, I've landed on a bench twice before.

And also, yes. I know it's parkour, I just said free-runner because I didn't know how well understood it would be.

Remember when I was all like, "Goodbye", and you were all like, "No way!" and then I was all like, "We were just pretending we were going to murder you."

Portal is awesome :D
