All of those dudes must've just lost a bet. Right? Right.
No kidding.
Let's leave that behind, shall we?
Woo!

oh sorry, I'm still politically ranting on this new page
They're probably more tolerable than our current Fuck Squad.
Actually, Rick Santorum fucking LOVES Tony Abbott (our PM) which says it all really. Dumbass doesn't realise he only won the election because the other side shot themselves in the foot with changing leaders twice during their reign. Then he lied his ass off about "no cuts" and "budget emergency" blah blah. All lies, all failed.

Ah. It's too late now Smelly.
No, they're not.
I would love to be able to ignore the hundreds of marvel threads.

Oh don't worry every country is horrible in their own kinda-cute-but-not-so-much way, just like Texas, the State I lived most of my childhood in, is kinda cute because they're cracking down on a band of little girls setting up illegal lemonade stands.
It wasn't that thread though
it was a thread about a video of someone killing a dog in a horrible way (don't know more, I obviously didn't open it)

Silly dopey
Yeah I played it from my 8th grade year until my second year of college. Great sport.
We're in semi-rural North Dakota. I doubt they'll turn into bros but I guess you never know.

Damn lemonade stands not paying their share of tax!
OK even that triggers me.
Dogs are the last bastions of this world that are pure, innocent, loyal and 100% awesome.

The Witcher 3 finally clicked for me last night. I was up 'til 1:30 playing it, which sucks because my 18-month-old doesn't give a shit that I was up late.
So good though. Question for those who played it: Will I ever find someone who actually sells armour and weapons, or am I just crafting or looting everything I'll be wearing?

That thread made me laugh.

Thanks a lot, Babcock. Also, the NHL is a BUSINESS. This "honor-bound" crap is ridiculous. If Holland had any balls he'd give him a ticket to Toronto.

All the Flyers gave Cleary was a PTO. He couldn't have been signed until after training camp when Pronger went on LTIR. It was no surprise when Cleary took the firm offer from Detroit in early September rather than playing all of preseason and then hoping to get more from Philly.
We're all stuck lining up for cheesecake.

We're going dumpster diving aren't we?
In terms of quality of gear it goes
Crafting > Quest rewards > loot > vendors
Best armor is craftable, best weapon varies depending on what you want - probably also craftable tho. Mix&match Feline, Ursine and Griffin depending on your build.

Well, Stars got a new play-by-play guy...
...in Dave Strader.
A decent choice, but a boring one IMO.
Stars-GAF, opinions?

Yeah, it took me a moment and then I got really into it. Last week, I ended up going at it from like 8-9 PM to almost 3 AM. The game reels you in.
I think I'm playing wrong. I just loot everything and anytime I visit a blacksmith or something, I just get my armor repaired. If I wanted something made, I don't have enough parts.
Same with potions and shit.
Halp me pls.

Also, Don Cherry likes him some Russians.
But he also likes himself some Canadians

That Lee Stempniak is one hell of a hockey player. At one point he was even worth Alex Steen and Carlo "Splodey Bones" Colaiaiaiacovo.

I'm still going to say Trading Anthony Duclair was a huge mistake for the Rangers.
It's going to be your Scott Gomez Trade.
We love Stemp, great player for our team as he slots into a solid bottom 6 guy on a roster like ours that has a few holes up front. I can see how he doesn't have a spot on the Rangers though, at the time the trade was presented as a bit of a cap move for the Rangers. Hope the Jets resign him, he did a lot to help out the third line.
I hope he replaces dickhead Doc on NBC soon. He's insufferable.
What's this? Gonna be in Toronto for the weekend.
Don't worry too much about that shit for a while, I was like level 25 before I bothered figuring out what armor set to focus on. I like the medium armor so I did the Griffin school gear quests (they are just treasure hunt type quests) and upgraded quickly to the enhanced set which matched my level.
Don't do what I did - I got to level 30 and was a bit sloppy in reading so I upgraded all my armor and swords to the Mastercrafted level. That was fine for the swords but my armor was all lvl 31 now so I had to run around nekkid for a half a level.
The whole crafting and alchemy portions of the game are a bit poor IMO. They simply have too many materials and too many pieces of gear and potions, 90% of which you'll never need or use. I suggest ignoring it all for a while, just focus on the potions and weapon oils you use currently (like, upgrade your Swallow potion and weapon oils) and use whatever swords and armor you pick up. But do buy the treasure maps you see at the vendors, those will eventually come in handy. Don't worry about armor/sword plans you see for sale because you probably won't bother making many of them, but the plans to learn how to craft materials will be important.
Later on if you decide to get Feline or Bear school gear you'll need a bunch of materials but as long as you don't sell your valuable ores and shit (it's pretty clear what you should hang on to when you pick it up) you can get it fairly cheaply. You can use the blacksmith to refine a bunch of stuff (so if you need 2 more leather scraps you'll find you can get that by dismantling leather straps or other leather items) and they sell materials too.
He and Olczyk can both go pound sand

Babcock apparently promised him a three-year deal.
Wings-GAF, but Strader is great. Was the Wings PBP guy for years.
Yep! Loved Strader on PASS Sports back in the day and UPN 50 back when the Wings game were on basic TV and not always on FOX Sports Detroit.
What's this? Red_Man AND Cake Boss in town this weekend. :O
As you said, it's really boring and it fucking sucks tbh but it was to be expected, there's no one else like Strangis in the whole business so no matter who they hired we'd end up reacting the same way, at least I would. Fuck I'll miss Ralph, I feel like it hasn't hit me yet, the first game of the season sure will be weird.
Edit: doesn't mean I don't like Strader, it's just that he isn't Strangis
What the hell happened to the Baron and his family? Did you find the wife?
Don't worry, if you want to start crafting witcher gear just start looking for the missions for whatever set you want to try out, and once you have the formula each part just dismantle some shit or google the material needed so you know where to find it easily. The crafting system is way too damn convulted so sometimes that's the only way.
Pavel Bure, the Russian Bobby Orr? I like it.
