I played some more Warcraft... I think I may just sub... I probably won't though.
Was PSO really that good? Undoubtedly. It brought online multiplayer RPGs consoles long before anyone else even thought it possible. It's full of dungeon crawling grindy goodness. When originally released, it was a pioneer (lol pun for Chosimba) worthy of the highest praise.

By today's standards, it's been surpassed in every objective way. However, it still has a feel that even its successors have failed to match. The amount of awesome loot to be acquired makes it playable even after years of playing.

It's definitely not an MMO, though. Meet with a huge number of people in hubs... but only go out into instanced worlds in parties of four.

Then again, the game was originally designed to play on a console with a 56k dial-up connection... so that's not really surprising.

Killing Floor.

Finally reached level 4 with Support. Bout time. It takes forever to level up perks, especially after they patched it so you couldn't use mutators to level. I have almost 100 hours clocked on it and I only have two perks at lvl 5- sharpshooter and medic. Then again, those are easy to level- sharpshooter you always have a weapon for and medic is pretty easy if you someone else plays demolition or berserker.

DDO.

Killinated by my own greed.

Kinda. It could also be called a sense of exploration. :D I was wandering through an aquaduct of sorts on a quest to save some villagers, and saw that by hopping from rafter to rafter, I could reach a ledge. But I kept falling because landing on a foot wide rafter is finicky, at best. Anyway, I made it across (with full health thanks to a healing shrine) and saw that, lo and behold, a treasure chest awaited me! Yay! Except then "Bonus mission: Put the arcane skeleton to rest" appeared across my screen. I was like "What I don't see a" *massive damage*.

So yeah. An evil magic green skeleton rose from the ground and made massive use of my healing items and abilities. So when I walked into the next room and right into a pair of spinning blades, I died. Rapidly.

But wait! It doesn't end there!

Because when you die, you don't just "die", you become incapacitated and bleed out until your health reaches -10. Your party members (I had none; how brave of me. >_>) can heal you until that point.

Except...my character can heal himself while incapacitated. Any character can do this, but it's supposed to be rare, according to the DM...dunno. :D My Paladin has a high heal rate.

So after a bit, I came back with 1 hit point.

Only to get *spinblade'd* again. XD

So...I came back again. And got spinblade'd again too. Only this time, I fell onto a spike which kept giving me damage after death, sending my disembodied soul back to town. -_-

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Getting close to the end. Enjoying this game a toooon more than either of the Modern Warfare games. In fact, it's probably my favorite Call of Duty since CoD2, which... is definitely saying something. :P

Thanks a lot, Chosimba. Now I wanna play DDO. >.>

Last played Band Hero. Easily my favorite set list on a disc ever. It has "If You Could Only See" on it. 'nuff said.

Your welcome. Get your elven bootay in there and start MMO'ing.

Also. I discovered that bound items can be gotten rid of--by destroying them.

I'm not so put off by them now. I was just worried about my inventory getting full and my weight getting heavy.

Also, from my limited experience, I think that there may be a misunderstanding in how bound items work.

The items I picked up were reserved for me, but they were not bound until equipped.

Implication: Nobody could scoop up the items I rightfully earned before I get to them, BUT I can then give or sell them to others so long as I do not equip (and thereby bind) them to myself.
