Gonna go solo good old G.

Someone help me out!

Anyway, I spent the day watching DBZ Abridged after PSX yesterday. I wish the episodes could come out quicker. I fucking love DBZ:A Vegeta.

Vegeta: You. Namekian. Too strong. Explain now.

Trunks: Piccolo fused with Kami.

Vegeta: The fuck's a Kami?!

Trunks: Basically god.

Vegeta: But I'm here!

Trunks: Do you actually believe in your own hype?

Vegeta: I AM THE HYPE!

haha I believe I am better than average,

Nonetheless it has been too long since I actually played played. So I dont feel confident since my skills are weak as of now :/

Speaking of the new emotes, anyone else notice the Fall 2015 Emote bag text? It said "highly likely to contain an emote not currently owned." I'm sorry but that's inexcusable. There should be no chance in hell that you could be robbed of your $2. A duplicate emote has no value whatsoever. I really hope this changes when the content goes live Tuesday.

Also, I didn't understand why short, simple emotes like Facepalm cost $5. Thriller dance for $7 made sense because it was awesomely long (and presumably licensed) but Facepalm emote lasts 2 seconds. I guess they're betting demand will be high enough to get away with it.

Is this you trying to be modest? lol.. i'm pretty sure your weak skillz are still probably better than the majority out there....I used to do trials with Deadly_Tacoz but he has since sworn off trials...his blood pressure would rise too much :(

Its disgusting and I'm amazed there hasn't been any uproar about it, if (and this a big one) it was something you could properly use end game wise I'd understand but for cosmetic stuff, get to fuck you thieving bastards

I'll give it a week before a parent complains that a kid has spent loads on there credit card :p

Kinda meant that as a joke..in a sense you would be "wait a second, what?" welp guess it didnt turn out well haha..

plus I use to play on late sunday/monday when all the 1337 players are gone. So I dont feel like it truly reflects myself as a player.

It's absolute bullshit that you can get a duplicate emote, I'll leave it at that.

Welcome to the state of Destiny. Instead of producing new content, we get more emotes and possible duplicate emotes!

It's horrible that they put the old emotes into RNG packs when they could have easily added another page, it's even more horrible that they included a small chance of getting something that you already own. These are the worst elements of F2P and P2W pricing schemes.

And predators stalk the patrols looking for young guardians to link up with. What has happened to our peaceful galaxy?

I think they're priced off "quality" or what people think will be the best. Slow clap is super basic and it was $5.

Hmm. Thinking about it, the worst part about the microtransactioms funding the live team is, that they introduce content with even more microtransactions.

I wonder how many MT's are going to be there with the racing update...

Not to harp on it, but halo 5 is doing it right in this regard.

Hey I just realized I haven't seen EJR around here in weeks. Miss that dude and Tears too.

Edit:regarding rng emote bags
Hypothesis
You don't ever get an emote you already own. That is until you've gotten all of them. At which point, it's not going to lock you out from purchasing them again if you're an idiot.

Hey LT! Still lurking around here, nice to see that some people still remember us :p

As Ruthless said I'm taking a long break and I don't see myself returning soon tbh. I didn't feel like praying for gear that could get me one light higher. And even though we got to the Lighthouse x3 in the first week of Y2 Trials, it wasn't fun. I don't think sparrow racing will change anything for me. But most importantly, I don't have a lot of time and energy for gaming now that I've started my PhD. Last week I worked 45h.

As far as we currently know, Destiny's MT's still do not affect gameplay. H5 MT's certainly do affect Warzone Gameplay. I don't like any MT's but for me any MTs that affect gameplay are terribly worse than MTs that don't affect gameplay.

The live team events such as sparrow racing and Festival of the lost are in a weird place. Their fun limited time events but due to the nature of them having Mts tied to them non of the gear that's apart of the event can't really be all that useful.

Does the Newbie raid sign up sheet reset on Tuesdays? Haven't done KF yet and want to give a try this week.
