"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

I have one brute who just turned level 5 and FINALLY got her first weapon. A stick. Great.

There's a lot of dissing of the stick around here, but it has saved my ass so many times it's not funny. No, it doesn't do a lot of damage, but it's FAST and that means it can often intercept an opponent and derail their attack.

First level, right out of the box, Mal gets A BEAR.

I am BEYOND jealous.

I don't think I've ever beaten a brute with a bear. I guess you need a net. Or another bear.

My brute "Ill Omen" managed it, with some good shield work and hammering at the bear with a club. He managed to win the whole fight but it was very close. It's a pity the fight's aren't archivable because I would have kept that one due to its EPICness.

Random just informed me that Malificum is now 5th level and has lost ONE fight.

Oh, and the McNasty clan is Pain Inc.

Malificum is destined for stardom. Strength that high and a bear by 5th? Deadly.

eta: I think at 5th level he could probably take my best fighter who is 13th.

P.S: Make sure he's password protected or someone will steal him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This reminds me, I haven't checked in on my Brutes in a while.

Ah, good point, Pete. R had stopped passwording the brutes.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm playing Half Life 2, and seeing credits. I blew up the citadel thing so the guy couldn't ascend. Now starting Epidode One.

Congrats. Pretty damn long game, huh?

Ya. Now I'm an hour into episode one, just after the train crash. Fixing the last stabelizer took awhile.

I think the iPhone didn't send the note last night, but I'll post here. Boomer plays 0 cards.
