Yeah, I skipped it, found the treasure without the goblins help. Then I beat the Ancarian campaign. Started a new game with a dwarf, and was disappointed when I had to run through silver with him as well before gold was available. Apparently difficulty levels are unlocked by class. Bummer. Oh well, I could always bring my Seraphim into the Underworld campaign.

Currently watching Eragon the movie and before he even gets the egg back to his village there are more alterations to the story than a redneck can count without removing his shoes. No offense intended to any genuine rednecks who can, in fact, count as high as anyone else with or without their toes.

In and of itself it's not a bad movie. But graded according to how well it follows the book, it failed horrendously.

I agree completely. I have never really been able to accept inaccurate movies from books. I make an exception for LotR because I didn't read the book first. Still haven't, actually.

Finally, we are starting to get warmer weather! It actually feels like Australia now.

Well, the books and movies pretty much go hand in hand, all in all. Not movie for book, because part of The Two Towers(the book) is in Return of the King(the movie) and that threw me off a little, but i followed very well. I was proud of Peter Jackson for staying true to the story.

ROTFL! I can just picture this.... sad but true! LOL Mine have discovered the top of the open corner curio cabinet....and they knock all the photos down in the process of hopping up onto it or off it.

I found the LotR movies to have followed the books pretty well, with a few omissions and alterations that were within acceptable levels.

Eragon, however, was a horrific mess. The directors and producers should be shot, stabbed, poisoned, neutered, drawn, quartered and drowned. In that order.

-More from Sacred-
slightly bothered that the regional kill counter resets when you save and reload your game. Though as a result I've determined that no one in their right mind would ever play for the hours on end necessary to encounter the regional bosses. This of course after playing for four hours and getting the southern core regional counter down to 6008 and deciding that would be a good place to take a break.

And and I started a brand new Seraphim warrior. Didn't like the skills and such from my first one.

Does anyone know proxies that are very rarley used and are hard to detect? Things have gotten carried away at the college and we cant even get into the bungie website.

Wolf Rider2 · 10-23-2009, 07:00 AM

I hear you, FSA. That is possibly the most irritating part of the game.

Damn those colleges regulating everything! Soon you won't even be able to look at information for assignments because it will be under something stupid like 'college cheating information'. Bleargh...

DrowArchmage · 10-23-2009, 11:16 AM

Yea no kidding, everything even touching gaming is banned. I cant look at paintball stuff because "no weapons allowed" and most of the pictures on google image search dont even show up. A group of us are getting pretty damn tired of it taking so long to find information we need sometimes because everything is blocked.

Not that it would do any good for us to petition. Admistration will do whatever it wants.

Wolf Rider2 · 10-24-2009, 02:13 AM

I heard from a friend that she can't even GET google search at the place she is at. It is a 'visual search engine' so they are not allowed to use it in case they look up something bad. They just use dogpile instead.
