I'm decked out with all high end gear, but looking for more stuff to do. Dark Zone farming, Challenge Missions, even helping out with other stuff. Hit me up and send me a FR. :)

I've completed all four challenge missions but would love a regular, daily group. Throw me a FR :) I balance my DPS with Skill Power to make the most out of my healing support skills. I have a mic but I'm better at following instructions than giving them.

PSN ID: SupergiantStarr

DPS: 130-160k depending on loadout.

@elko84: I may be wrong, but I believe you open this up by shooting at it. I went back to check it out and it was already open. If you haven't already, try quitting to the XMB/Dashboard and reload the game, then check the gate again. Also, try killing all of the nearby enemies. I'm not entirely sure what opened this door, but there's no switch on the island, so you may be bugged out.

@thewolf13: @fateorfear: Hey guys, just found the Black Sails. Head to Fort St. Grande, the area where you had to disguise your ship as a part of the Royal Navy to enter. After you disembark, follow the main street through the town and then across the large stone bridge to the right.

To the left, you'll see a red capsule in a high window. Go to the left of this window and follow the beach all the way to a rope you can climb up. After you climb the rope, walk across the wooden walkway here and you'll see a bomb door on the left. Drop down, blow up the door and grab your sails! Hope this helps!

Jesus. I will have to try this later, simply because of the screech of horror my girlfriend let out when I told her what I was reading.

Appropriate response. My wife just shook her head with a mixture of disapproval and blatancy.

I finished the whole thing. My stomach kinda hurts, you guys.

@MasturbatingestBear: I totally remember that! That must've been from the second or third Arrow Pointing Down.

I managed to miss any sort of amazing ad campaign that Jack in the Box had thrown together to promote their latest dairy concoction / monstrosity. Much like the Taco Bell breakfast incident, I had first stumbled upon the concept of a bacon shake while surfing the wide world web. The idea was appauling at the time but I decided to take it upon myself to jump in front of this speeding bullet. What lies in store for a bacon shake? Well, I've had chocolate covered bacon which was pretty tasty. I've had beer-battered fried bacon, which came with an assortment of dipping sauces for whatever strange reason. I'm not going to let a little bacon frighten me. Then the cashier asked if I wanted a small or a large.

Let me back up. I pulled up to the drive thru menu and asked for a bacon shake. The cashier, as any normal person would, asked "A what kind of shake?" I responded with the combination of intensity and excitement in a shout of, "Bacon!" so as to answer her question with the appropriate amount of crazy. She didn't seem to catch on, as I was asked once more for what type of shake I would like to enjoy this afternoon. She's either asking for clarification or she simply can't hear me. I turned off my van's engine (which is rather rumbling to be fair) and apologized before answering, "a bacon shake, please." I have to note that I apologized before answering, because that's probably what she was waiting for in the first place. I should have started the order that way in the first place. "I'm sorry, but I would like a bacon shake and only a bacon shake, please. Yes, bacon, not something deliciously shake-inclusive like chocolate or plain old vanilla, but bacon."

That's when she responded with "would you like a small or large?" Me being me, I immediately said large. Absolutely no hesitation on that end. If I'm going into this thing, I need to be commited. She asks me if there's anything else I'd like, I take a moment before responding in the negative. The new BLT cheeseburger looks good, but it also looks like a bacon cheeseburger. Nothing fresh or exciting. Not like a bacon shake. I'm sure it would compliment the shake, though.

At last, we meet.
At last, we meet.

Alright. So I'm here ready to drink the shake. I should point out as you'll see in the photo that it's topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Why? Why does it even need this presentation? So it can be disguised and blend into the crowd of shakes? So I can drink the shake and hide the shame of what flavor it is? Something like this should be touted, with big bright lettering across the cup that screams "Yes, I'm drinking a bacon shake! Ask me what it's like!" If you're drinking a bacon shake, you should be noticed immediately. Also, no bacon shavings on top of the whipped cream. Clearly a mistake from the bacon cross-promoting team.

Okay, so... first... sip... This is a thick milkshake. Which speaks to the quality, I'm sure. It's either real ice cream (which I think they still use) or some kind of thickening agent. Or both. Alright, keyboard aside. First sip. First mouthful tastes like a vanilla shake. A little smokeyness, but mostly just plain ole vanilla. Did I get gyped out of bacon flavoring? One more taste. A few more gulps and the bacon hits me. It's... not so much bacon as it is maple flavoring. Like a pancake. No, like a burnt pancake. You know when you make that first pancake in the batch and it always turns out either burnt or hideously malformed until you get the rhythm down? It tastes like that pancake. Only drizzled in maple syrup and eaten. With vanilla ice cream.

It's not entirely pleasant, like a shake should be. Shakes are amazing. In N Out Burger has some amazing milkshakes and Jack in the Box isn't usually a slouch either. McDonalds has a rare instance of deliciousness around March with the Shamrock shake. Let's not rule out Carl's Jr (Hardee's) with their experimental shakes either. That Cap'n Crunch milkshake was amazing. I was pretty disappointed not to see that continue with other brands of cereal.

Ugh... why did I buy a large? Well, the taste really lingers for a while. A big hunk of smokeyness in the back of the throat. I'm gonna keep working on this and probably finish it, but it isn't likely. So long as I don't put it down for too long, that aftertaste won't kick in too often. At least I should enjoy the whip and the cherry. I never saw Venice.

@MooseyMcMan: Very interesting list, dude. It's great to hear that people really enjoyed games like Star Fox Adventures or Super Mario Sunshine so much even when I didn't particularly care for them that much. I definitely see some heavy Nintendo 64 influence on this list, which was a great system that not too many people focused on when it was around. Personally, I had tunnel vision for the PlayStation and then eventually the Dreamcast when it was released later on. I've never played games like Donkey Kong 64 or Banjo Tooie, but would I enjoy something like that now? I could always pick up Tooie on XBLA or something. I think I might!

It's refreshing to see a top ten that isn't boiled down to three Zelda games and four Mario games or three Final Fantasy games and five Metroid games or what have you. Great, great list!

@mlarrabee: Oh, fascinating! I thought it was just one of those weird marketing things. Like when a restaurant serves something that's "World Famous". I guess that gives me a reason to go back to Taco Bell. Maybe get there earlier or ask for a fresh pot to brew. I was hoping to hear from someone around Seattle, so thanks for the tip!
