Hope it's NSFW!
If it involves asura hentai leave me outta it.
I think there is already the regular 'not' GAF mumble server which has a bazillion slots which isn't being used. It's just a case of putting a new IP in to use that.

I bought Deus Ex HR for $10 at Best Buy the other day and still have Meruru and Dragon's Dogma to finish, I'm set for the month.
no LoL = feel miserable for wasting 60 minutes of your life over and over again
We've tasted better, and bathed in the golden light of new and frightful wonder. There is no going back.
Also, MOBAs suck donkeyballs.
It's a DOTA-like.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
how can it be good if its not dota
The sounds really promising. I'm happy to hear that they have a large team doing new live content. Looks like this will be a game that I'll be playing for a VERY long.
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

Both games are great but I vastly prefer Dota 2. Either way you really can't go wrong though.
Shoulda given them that Asura Hentai
*Shudder*. The female asura in her onesie was creepy enough. Like some kinda freaky baby.

Which one is worse, Asura or Charr hentai?
Charr on Asura Hentai... the rapey kind.
Also, Male Sylvari are a shoe-in for tentacle-related stuff.
....
WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!?
I don't even know why I googled this

Yeah, actually, that's much worse.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
My game while I wait for Guild Wars 2 is The Last Remnant. Got it for $3 in the recent GMG deal, and while i regret not getting the PC version when it first came out, I'm glad I never picked up the 360 version (considering all of its problems).
Sure, it's not LIKE Guild Wars, but there's nothing like a well made JRPG to absorb your attention.
Also, it has a delightfully Asura-like race:

I dont know how anyone could play that race and not feel like a total creep

TLR. So good.
It's okay, I like your suggestion. LoL's combat is closer to GW2's than most MMOs anyway.
did they noticeably improve the numbers of boons/conditions like might or weakness in this BWE? After finding how how relatively small the stat changes were during the last BWE, I just completely ignored them this time around while playing sPvP. In PvE, a temporary boost of +35 to your power or defense might be great, but when you run around with 2000 damage and 4000 armor at level 80 the scaling seems a bit off imo.

AAAAAAAH... so much to reply to, so little time!
Well, first of all, and in line with what Hawkian was saying later, the reason I have little time to post today is that I spend a good couple of hours making the closest thing to the ultimate "play GW2 with a controller" pack I could. It includes free, portable versions of every program needed, several configuration files (both of mine plus Hawkian's), detailed instructions, a one-click batch file, even instructions for paranoids like me who don't want to use the .exe files included. I uploaded it too Google Docs, but since I anticipate me updating it with stuff as people tell me mistakes, I've also made a blog post (first one in a yer and a half!
) that I'll update with the link to the latest version. Here it is:
http://gamingmusings.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/how-to-play-guild-wars-2-with-controller.html
Eh, me too! My main in WoW is a dark haired female orc rogue; my Demon/Dark Souls character is pretty much a human version of her, and so on.
Thanks a lot for the support!
Fortunately, I'm not easily bullied (anymore); most that can happen is that I get ticked off, probably.
You mean you didn't see it before, when it actually worked? Man, are you going to love the shield...
Indeed, I used the rifle a lot of the time too; in my pictures it's either that or pistol/shield. I particularly love the net and the double (you/him) knockback, the latter looks so powerful and hilarious at the same time! (not to mention useful). Offhand pistol is the one thing that doesn't make it for me; blowtorch doesn't make a lot of sense when paired with the other pistol (which needs range to work well), and glue shot was definitely not as immediate as the net (or as fun as electrocuting/magnetically knock down would-be melee attackers with the shield); not to mention I hear they nerfed it to provide Cripple rather than Immobilize now...
I'm not actually seing it; for one, there's already spears in the game (the underwater weapons). Of course, they could do the same thing as with ranger pets and have some weapons (like spears) being usable both above and underwater (with different skillsets, of course). I can't shake the feeling, though, that people would claim they'd be overpowered, as people would always prefer to pay (gold or tokens) for a spear when given the choice, since it'd be like getting two weapons.
For another, I think there's too much thematic overlap; there's so much you can do with pointed sticks in terms of skills, and if you already have a javelin, then ranged spear abilities (the equivalent of the Thief's Dancing Dagger or the Axe throws in several classes) lose uniqueness.
Now you're exploiting my love of all things hand-weapon, crafty! It sounds quite good and perhaps it has less overlap, but separating them seems like they would be so specific that not much visual variety could be achieved.
By the way, I want Guild Wars 2 to have "fist" weapons go the way of Devil May Cry 3/4/Bayonetta; i.e. have them be a set of four weapons, not just fists but legs as well, visually. Gameplay-wise, it counts as a two handed weapon but you have kick abilities as well, including the 1 skill combo. Give us bladed sets, clawed sets, elemental sets, saw sets like in DMC4, go nuts!
Oh yeah, totally want this; I was thinking about this earlier, and how I missed them in WoW (weapons not having any kind of animation whatsoever). Onimusha 3 showed you can have a lot of variety too.
Speaking of WoW, I just realized how uncreative they went after vanilla. In Vanilla you had transforming weapons, like Anathema/Benediction and that hunter bow/staff...
Indeed. The only reason WoW seems more "friendly" is because you're encouraged to party with that guy so that he doesn't steal your kills. The problem with GW2 currently is that since everyone is in the same zone, it's a constant zerg of 30+ players; this doesn't encourage socialization, here, in WoW, or anywhere. Once the game is one or two months old and people is mostly evenly spread, and there's just a couple of guys doing the same events as you (at a more leisure pace as well, as they're not zerged to completion in seconds), probably even waiting for more to appear and chatting with you in the meantime, I guarantee the environment for more relaxed and friendly interaction will be set.
You didn't pick the street bum choice, right? That's what I chose (bum + orphan, seemed to make sense), and my story was different (with a different choice at the end), so unless that was part of the second arc (the one related to the "biggest regret" choice), I'm guessing you went commoner or noble.
For those who don't know how personal stories work, here it is; one of your race-specific questions determine your story from level 1 to about 15, then the other one determines the story from 15+ to I'm guessing 30 or 40. It's been confirmed that after that your personal story joins the "main line", although I'm not sure if that means a race-wide story or a single story for all characters.
Holy crap, getting Dragon Warrior for free. Unthinkable in Europe, carts were insanely expensive.
So interesting that you didn't get to play any other RPG until PS4. I simply couldn't get enough and at the time I rented all I could get my hands off, even some deservedly obscure titles.. Final Fantasy II/IV changed my life, and in fact I learned most of my English from RPGs, mostly starting with it! (which had quite a lot more text than PS2)
Heh heh. It was my first online RPG as well, such an amazing experience. At the time we had dial-up of course, but at least it was free for us in the evening (even though it meant leaving the house incommunicated, something my mother wasn't too pleased with). The fun thing is that I had imported the Japanese version, which had the good side of not having a monthly fee (which I believe the western version did), but at the time mostly everyone was Japanese, making communication less than smooth even with the phrase system. I did buy a keyboard just for it later on, though.
The funny thing is that I missed Kid Dracula, but I know I'll miss your real-life avatar a lot too when you switch. :/
I never actually got to read the book (I really should; I wonder if it was ever released in Spain, but I think I may procure it digitally now). The movie is an absolute childhood favorite of mine; I must have seen it like 10-20 times! I've heard it's quite different from the book though. Aragh in the movie is an intelligent, speaking wolf-like being, which indeed makes for both a good Worgen and Charr name. My GF loves the movie; among her characters there's a Melisande, a Gorbash and a Briaugh.
Eh, this is becoming a bit off-topic and people could get (rightfully) angry. I'd love to continue via PM or email, but I'll totally I'll understand it if you're too busy.
TOO LATE. The musical puzzle and its solution was... seriously, I have no words. This game is on a whole new level for MMOs. Really neat bit that he censored out the keys so as to not give away the solution..
The jumping puzzles were insane. Game of the forever indeed; I wonder if I'll ever be able to complete some of those.
As a software engineer myself, implementing what you propose should be entirely trivial, a few minutes perhaps depending on how well designed and decoupled everything is (this being ArenaNet, I'm betting at "very"). It doesn't seem like it would be too hard on balance, either. I'd love it if they actually implemented dodge animations for all pets.
Indeed, the "legion" question is the first half I described above, for the Charr, while the "sire" question is the second half. I got Blood Legion, which has already been described.
Definitely doing this kind of thing too; I used to do it all the time in WoW (naked run!). I also loved exploring out of the way stuff in WoW, but while that game had a few secret areas, and mostly nothing otherwise (lots of out of the way coast that had nothing, for example) GW2 is crammed with secrets and stuff. I want to lose myself in this world again...
I was using Steam chat with a friend while we were playing Keg Brawl. My GF came to the computer room to see what was happening to me, I was laughing so hard. The think is that my friend was laughing even harder; she just couldn't hear him since I had headphones. Seriously, Keg Brawl with headphones? Your ribs will burst. My favorite: being in opposing teams and saying "sorry" half a second before sending him (keg and all) flying with a running kick to the ribs.
I had unrealistic expectations for the Grove and Rata Sum after seeing Divinity's Reach and the Citadel. They're amazing, don't get me wrong, but since I love both nature style and high-tech style, I expected to be blown off my socks. I think the problem is that Divinity's Reach makes anything else look small (except perhaps the Black Citadel).
I really hope my bundle above will make it easier for other people to pick it up more easily. Guys, be sure to post if it helps (although I realize you can't even try it now).
The one single creepiest moment in the books is the description of Kralkatorrik's flight and the making of the Dragonbrand and the Branded. Lovecraftian stuff right there (shiver).
That would be cool, although I fear introducing more dragons would dillute the sense of threat each individual one conveys. As of right now, the books (especially Ghosts of Ascalon) do a great job of portraying how insanely godlike they are and how helpless the rest of the races are.
Only new players? In a capital city, EVERYONE should be like level 1 thanks to downscaling, right? (I actually don't remember!).
