I just recently started playing it again a few weeks ago with a friend after stopping at like, lvl 5 or so, and man I dunno but im really enjoying myself a lot more this time! Just passed lvl 15 so I got the weapon swap which means two different weapon and skill loadouts you can change on the fly, really makes the combat feel dynamic and fast paced! Im actually feeling the bug of crafting which is something i never liked in other mmo's, and im rather enjoying just exlporing the world. Im currently lvl 16 and have so many quests taking me all over the continent that its kind of ridiculous lol!

The base game also has a metric fuck ton of content too, but its nice to know that if I want more i can just sub for 15 a month or buy the summerset expansion and get more!

I've been with this site since 2009. Seeing Drew grow from background video intern to prominent on screen personality with such ease has been an absolute pleasure and honor. He quickly became one of my favorite minds on this site, with his inquisitive nature and interest in worldly topics along with his subtle humor and well spoken demeanor.

He was incredibly nice to me and my wife when I met him at the inaugural PAX SOUTH, stopping to say hi even though he was in a rush to help set up the panel for you guys. He even entertained my stupid request for a cross fit pose!:

@drewbert If you see this, I want to say thank you for your time with us and becoming a part of something that has brought happiness to countless people, and I wish you the absolute best in your future endeavors, whatever they may be!

You sir, are a Top Man. God speed!

Hello fellow duders!!! I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this and I could use your help! I recently purchased a 160gig slim ps3 to replace my old 40gig phat one that sounds like a jet engine.

I swapped out the 40 gig hdd and put in a new 500 gig hdd to hold all my ps+ games as the 40(26ish)gigs was not enough. I would like to put the 500gig hdd in the slim i purchased, but read that i cant just pop in my 500gig into the slim, as it will reformat the drive when i do? Now im trying to figure out if there is a way to transfer my saves and game data AND my game installs to the new ps3 WITH the 500gig hdd as i REALLY would like to avoid having to redownload everything.

Would i have to use the ethernet link data transfer and transfer all my data to the 160gig hdd and THEN backup that data to an external usb hdd using the backup tool and THEN install the 500gig hdd and restore? Or could i just backup from the 500gig, pop it in the 160 and then restore? Would that transfer my licenses and installs? Am i screwed and should i just activate the new slim, sign in and re download? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Have a Kung Fu Master named Lexzhi on Old Man Cho, and just joined the cerulean order! Add me please sir!

The name is Mike and I will be attending all day friday with my girlfriend! This is also my first PAX and I am BEYOND stoked!!! Im actually debating between trying to meet the guys in person, just cuz, meeting idols and what not...but i will DEF be at the panel!!! Would also be down for a meet up of like minded duders!!!

I work on a production line at a warehouse where I am usually at one spot for a couple hours at a time. We are allowed to listen to headphones with one ear in, and im basically just standing and checking cap seals so I listen exclusively at work! It works out great because I can usually listen to at least 2 a day, listening to the most current one and then when that one is finished working my way through the past 6 years worth. I just download around 6 or 8 of em to my phone and queue them up in poweramp and let 'er rip! Im just about to finish 2008!

@choffy: I too am a server, and man, reading your description, I was like, " that was me last night, lol". I know some people tend to think that waiters dont do shit to earn their money, but man we do. And we dont all rake in insane cash like some think we do. I worked a 11 hour shift this past saturday, and walked out with $175, and that was an awesome day for me, but we were pretty steadily busy all day. And I only get that one all day shift a week, so thats my money day. Other days it varies so wildly like you said, it can be anywhere from 20 to 90 bucks from day to day 5 hour shifts. Id say working close to full time(35 to 40 hours/week) I bring in about 1200 to 1500 a month, low to high. Maybe 1700 if I have a really good month.

And i dont mean to make it sound like im complaining, dont get me wrong, I like my job, and I understand that I chose to do this work. There just seems to be this misconception that servers make buttloads of cash without having to hardly anything, and while that may be true of certain restaraunts(mainly high/price ones), I will proudly say that I do bust my ass for my money, and that the harder you work to do a better job can at timeslead to better tips, it just isnt anything you can count on. You can give the best service ever and a table will still stiff you. Its their choice to be sure, doesnt mean its right.

I will leave with this though, I chose to do this job becuase it lends me a lot of free time for my hobbies and to try and persue my art career. That, and I am pretty much only responsible for myself and have a fairly low debt to income ratio. It can be tight, but I make it. And yes, I live on my own. That said, I would not recommend this job to anybody who absolutely NEEDS a steady income, and has to worry about providing for a family. Money is just too unpredictable for that kind of situation imho.

Just bought a Corsair Vengeance M60 gaming mouse here and I am loving it!!! It was 50 bucks, and has excellent build quality, usb 3.0 connector, braided cable, a rubberized grip up top in the palm area with a slightly textured area on the sides for easy gripping, aluminum under-body with 3 removable weights to make its heaviness to your liking, slight blue led glowy aesthetics without being gaudy, 7 buttons you can configure with software it comes with, on the fly switching between 3 dpi settings of your choosing (via buttons below the scroll wheel), and a dedicated "sniper" button, which when depressed lowers the dpi to about 800 for precision aiming, which I thought was a total gimmick but actually works pretty well! Seriously, the thing just feels premium throughout! All in all, ive been impressed with Corsairs products, would recommend you check them out!

@geraltitude: Fuck and YES Ghost Babel!!! That game was crazy awesome!!! I remember picking up a new clear gameboy pocket color and that game and being thrilled! Man, nostalgia trip for sure! Hmmm...now where did i put that gameboy emulator?

I actually just picked up a 64 gig iPad mini a month ago and im pretty damned smitten with the thing, it was pricey but worth it I think. I was going to get a nexus 7, but actually holding a dislplay model I found the 7inch form factor to be just a bit too small for my man hands, but the minis 7.9 inch screen and form factor are pretty much perfect for me, even the regular 10 inch iPad felt too big. Plus, since I have a Windows Phone 8 cell, I wanted a device to get back into apples app ecosystem. I love it, Ive found some really awesome games ( PUNCH QUEST!!! GET IT!!!), its great for web and youtube consumption, and as for music, I just bought an app called gMusic for 2 bucks, and It lets me access my google music library over wifi. Just uploaded my music to google music (you get space for 20,000 songs free), signed into the app and boom, insta music without taking up 30 gigs of my precious space! As long as you know what youre buying it for, I say go for it, especially if you know you will want some of those itunes exclusive apps and games (Spaceteam!)
