Well, I think what I might have to do is play through the castle each time rather than heading off to the next difficult area. Eventually enemies start becoming one to two hit kills. I'd hate to restart after all the stuff I've unlocked, but the hindsight of what areas/skills the manor unlocks when you spend money would be helpful. I swear, unlocking the Miner class was a mistake.

This game can piss me off fierce sometimes. Entering a room and instantly enemies are attacking with their spray projectiles. My last hero/child got killed by a "McRib," a skeleton that spams a dozen bones in an arc toward you. As soon as I got into the room, two of them aimed at me. Though, what gets me the most is when I only get 480-499 gold and all the gear and upgrades are 500+. It's like I'm at a stalemate at Lv. 43, having defeated two bosses, but unable to get enough gold to make any impact other than grinding.

Didn't think I would be posting in this thread, but as of today I've decided that I've been getting too many tonsil stones as of late. If you don't know what they are, Tonsillolith (Or remember that episode of Game Grumps?) Tonight I just removed two; one I knew I had for over a week, and the other I just found tonight. Both the size of a pea, left and right. Usually people cough 'em up or swallow them without realizing it. However, I've begun to feel these and it makes swallowing uncomfortable. My sister told me how to get rid of them myself, and there is a noticeable difference when they're gone. It's like I wish I could tell my 5 year-old self to go ahead with removing my tonsils, but at that age having a doctor remove a part of you was beyond scary. I would have gotten ice cream and a toy, but that wasn't enough. I'm not sure what would have been enough.

Well, I did so and I'm not sure that helped, but I remembered that games run better on my laptop in windowed view. Still, I hate practically wasting a character because sometimes a new layout is ridiculously challenging right away. You barely get any health, so it's basically a marathon run to get close and maybe consider letting the Architect lock the castle.

It's weird because it'll play smooth for a while, but then get slowed down which throws off my attacks and three of my deaths have felt cheap because of the drop in framerate. I could try something out real quick, but my laptop has never been a graphical powerhouse. For example, the open environment segments of Half Life 2 lag a bit, and that's a game from 2004.

I got it, but even my laptop has trouble keeping a decent framerate, so I'll probably hold off playing more until my desktop is finished. I just have to wait for my GPU to be in stock.

Two of the three girls were present as I saw it. It was Edith, the blonde middle child, that was basically absent for any part of the plot other than serving as the tomboy. Margo had her little side story and Agnes reinforced the love story. I do think the Minion stuff was dragging on a bit, especially considering it was shown how... Though there could be a bit more of a focus on the Minions because of the apparent love story going to take place. The kids won't be bored by that because they'll have their dose of Minion antics. The first movie had a fair share for adults and kids because that by itself was the plot. Gru with his plan to steal the moon and the girls seeking adoption, but then living with Gru as his adoptive daughters.

Trigun The Complete Series (DVD) Trigun Badlands Rumble (Blu-ray) Again, though Trigun is available on Netflix, I'll always try to get a series I love in a physical format for posterity's sake. The series itself was $19 and I got the movie on Blu-ray for $14. Usually I try to keep series on the same format, but considering the show and movie are 10 years (or so) apart, it's the exception to the rule. One pet peeve of mine is evident in the packaging of the Trigun series: excessive gluing. The wrap on the case was glued pretty tight with three of the four sides receiving two lines of glue per side. Kills me because I can't stand having little strips of wrap clinging to my cases, and etc. It rarely happens, but it's always a pain when it does.

The Walking Dead: 400 Days I got back home last night, bought, played, and finished the DLC. It's good, and it is only $5 so you can't really complain if you feel it's short or not as in-depth as the main game. The only real complaint I have is that each individual story feels better if you find the order, which is essentially chronological order, i.e. Vince (2 Days In), Wyatt (41 Days In), and etc. I played Shel's story second (236 Days In), and it felt very out of place and dull. If I had played Bonnie's story first (220 Days In), I think it would have been interesting to play Shel's because, if you don't know, all these stories take place around the same truck stop and interconnect. Probably the most intense moment for me was getting four draws in the Rock, Paper, Scissors game you play in Wyatt's story. In the end I got 4 out of 5 survivors to come with me. It was Shel who I goofed on because (as a fault of short stories) you'll be chill for two minutes, but then things go get serious instantly and have to make vital decisions that will carry on into the ending. EDIT: Got a name wrong, but to add to my point, some things will change in "later" stories if you make choices affecting characters in the earlier days.

We can say non-internet pet peeves? Like how I hate answering an onslaught of questions (from family, friends, etc) after taking a nap.

As in you're getting 3 months of PS Plus for $10 off, a la $7.99. I'm still going to have $20 on PSN to spend on (probably) Walking Dead 400 Days and etc. EDIT: Speaking of, the Xbox 360 Wireless controller was also $10 off, so it came to $39.99 plus tax. Thing is, the blasted thing has a squeaky analog stick. Anyone have a fix? By brother-in-law thought WD-40 would work, but it didn't. I tried seeing if I could blow out dust, or something, but considering its new that couldn't have been the problem.

Not going to bother with pictures. Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (for brother-in-law) You Don't Know Jack (360, so for brother-in-law) PSN $20 and PS Plus 3 Month for $27.99 If you want that bundle, it's on Best Buy's website for Saturday and then it's gone (The July 4th sale). I tried to get it in store, but the employees couldn't ring it up. They told me I could go to Customer Service, but the line was too long and I was on a time limit.

Despicable Me 2 Pretty much the above, but I think it goes about it a little more unique with its charm. There isn't as much a focus on the "villain" stuff because of the focus on spying since the movie doesn't directly specify who the villain is. That makes up part of the story, where the rest is about dating and love: parenthood, puppy love, and wishes.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs are really marvelous creatures and here's hoping Booker pulls through.

Like I had said before, I really didn't...

This, right now. These punks have been setting off fireworks for the last seven hours, and I'm damn well sure these aren't street legal as the shit is flying into everybody's yards. Hey, maybe we can call the police because it's almost midnight and they've been setting off the same damn high flying explosive for the last hour and a half? (No, I'm serious. These kids bought/had a truck bed full of fireworks.) "No, just give it time and they'll stop."

I've been missing a lot of the new episodes because of work, or simply forgetting because I have other things on my plate. I did watch the recent episode, and yes I find PB to be the biggest of butts. There's obviously not some "moral" or agenda to the episode as some have claimed, but it's strictly an overtly stubborn plot. We have a long established character suddenly take offense to a long established attribute to the Land of Ooo. To throw out that she has always seen all magic in the entire series as "substandard science" is baffling. Sure this is suppose to be about different views, but it's such a stubborn display of character from PB that makes it ridiculous, and ridiculous in a bad way. She doesn't like wizards, though we've seen her being pretty relaxed around them before now. Like, I always thought it was a collaborative existance of science and magic building the Land of Ooo, but PB has to go on a tirade of selfish desire to ring out the truths of science. Someone elsewhere said it best, but PB doesn't seem to take her subjects' as seriously as she lets on. Rather than healing Starchy, she rather blow it twice to affirm science to wizards. /seriousness

I will send all of my positive energies and prayers your way. Currently I'm taking care of my dog with too much anxiety. It's not just fireworks, but currently she's at my sister's new home which is completely new territory for her. The folks traveled three days to get here, while I flew a plane since my work can only afford a maximum of seven days off. She does not like to travel, though it doesn't necessarily rough her up. Thing is, this was such a bad coupling of anxieties for her that it is my firm belief that this is the worst she has gone through. It also doesn't help that a couple my sister is friends with brought their dog over that has never been around both Sally (my dog) and brother-in-law's dog, Moses. Now Moses is a beast of a dog, so much so that he could probably eat an entire pony himself. He's a sweet dog though that would only attack if you were actually a threat. He could make a leap and a bound, stand up on his hind legs with his front two on your shoulders and bring you down no problem. Still, he's sweet and it didn't take long for Sally and him to be friends years ago. But this new dog was a punk, and I don't mean this in a biased way. Maybe it's because she was only a year old, but the bitch thought she was hot stuff. Sally takes to humans instantly and is given kindness in return. Well, some dogs become jealous and start growling and barking at such a dog. This is one of those times, and I swear the dog was on the verge of nipping her while chasing her out of the room. Years ago I've learned to be watchful like a hawk when it comes to new dogs, and so I was ready to grab the dog by the neck if it so touched Sally. So I've taken the steps to ensure Sally feels safe while fireworks go off only 40 ft from the home we find ourselves in. The nextdoor kids spent a couple hundred on fireworks because for the last few days they've had nothing else to do with their life. Someone has probably injured themselves, but fireworks have a kind of magical hold on keeping teens pleased even in the face of personal injury.
