Travo was on about an hour ago and almost made it to level 10.  He should be on again in about six hours.  Pointless information, considering Dragon Age is a single player only game.

Funny... a week or two ago, I had to encourage you to continue, now you want advice to stop...  Hrm

It's a persistent world with TONS of stuff to do. Why stop? I have no plans to play anything else even remotely MMO-ish 'til Destiny drops, so you won't get any words of wisdom from me. Every patch brings something new; Shiva is coming to the game soon, there are Ultimate weapons to forge and Higher Difficulty Boss battles and Dungeons to explore, even after 50. The only reason I paused playing for a little while was to catch up on LoZ: OoT because I wanted to try to finish it before, and, if not, have something to do after my surgery. Wanted something portable to pass the time. As Square adds more and more I get more and more interested. I'm going to be playing it for quite a while!

Well I don't want to stop, I just wondered how you stopped. While I am in a game I am all into playing everything. If they throw in new content I am all over it. It is when I stop I STOP. Watch dogs I was playing non stop, I bought the season pass, I haven't touched it since I stopped and don't know when I will go back. I can't start another game cause then I won't jump back into Ff any time soon.  Well actually I won't have much a choice as I am going on a trip soon.

but I want to talk to someone about the game. Where are you at now? What class are you in? Are you in a FC yet? At you doing treasure hunts? Have you done PvP?

I am Level 43 still. My amnesiac friend and I have gotten the Airship running again and I got the Elemental material needed to break through Garuda's defenses. I was too low level to jump straight into that so I stopped to do Sylph Beast Quests and search for a Rogue Summoner. I am not in a Free Company yet; I am still a Summoner. Haven't done a proper Treasure Hunt yet; Haven't started the Sight Seeing quests yet; Haven't joined a Hunt yet. I --REALLY-- suck at PvP. I was hoping one of us would start playing here so they could explain to me --HOW-- exactly it works because no matter what I do, my skills don't work and I just land up running around 'til I am killed, which is pretty quick since I am a Mage!

What do I play after one of the most celebrated games of all time? Part of me wants to continue with Minish Cap. Part of me wants to play something other than Zelda...

Maybe related / Maybe not: The follow up to 999, Virtue's Last Reward, is available on the 3DS eshop. Apparently, THAT version has had the game breaking bugs fixed JUST IN CASE any of you were interested in playing it!

No skin thick enough. Harassment of women in the gaming workplace.



In some of the places I've worked, women don't get harassed. They get their asses kissed (especially if they're good looking) and in many cases get double the pay raises of the guys for doing half the work. I can't imagine it being different in a gaming studio.



Where did this trigger warning convention come from? Are we assuming people who have been through trauma are too fucking stupid to think an article about traumatic experiences might contain "triggers"? I really don't understand it. Uneasy



In this article, for example, the title is vague enough that people might not expect it (If they're an idiot) to refer to threats of rape. But applying a detail-less trigger warning, doesn't offer the potential reader with any more information. But I suppose that if they did say that it might "trigger" "rape" victims, that in itself would be a trigger?



What an idiotic response to an idiotic fear.

We are the exact same spot on in the story.

I know only a tanks role in PvP and we need to work with the healer. Basically a good team needs to kill the healer first, which means they are coming to kill you. Your job is to stay alive till the other healer is dead. Now at level 40 fights a paladin tank has an ability called cover which takes all damage to a party member away and onto the tank. So that is what i do at the start, I cover the healer, then there is a PvP ability that puts a shield on a party member I use that too. Hopefully the DPS guys are doing their job and killing the other healer. If both healers are still alive then it just becomes a messy free for all. Keep healing yourself, STAY ALIVE. Heal others only if there is time to do so, your health comes first.

Meh.... Donkey Kong Country Returns on the 3DS... I just don't get it. I remember not loving it on the Wii, and now I don't seem to like it at all. I just cannot get used to the controls as they are for some reason. Should have gone with Ice Climbers.

No, you shouldn't.  Switch to directional pad instead of the nub.  It'll work wonders.  

Honestly, it really does have too many controls/actions.

So far its pretty much like Dead Space 2, but I'm not far into it. Seems like they're starting to get a bit carried away with the story, but the gameplay is solid. The first Dead Space is still my favorite by far....that game was a classic.

Dead Space was the best survival horror game of last gen.  I expect DS3 to just be a solid action game.
