Sounds like waiting is the consensus.

Yay waiting!

I'm at wizards.com watching the writers from Robot Chicken play D&D.

That... is awesome (even if I don't like 4th Ed D&D). Was it entertaining?

Not as funny as the Wil Wheaton podcasts but it gave me some ideas for the campaign I'm currently running (and will be picking up tonight). I'm so proud of myself. I actually used paper and tape and colored pencils to make my version of a "robe of many things". It's a coat lined with patches that depict various common objects. If you tear off a patch it transforms into something useful... or it goes horribly wrong. Each patch torn off increases the odds that something bad will happen. I love it when the DM hands me something that my character has and imo this is a very nifty thing. I can't wait to see what the players make of it.

Also cool, one guy is bringing his gf who asked to take on an NPC who was createsd at the end of the last session so she'll fit seamlessly into play and for the first time ever we'll have more girls than boys at the table.

ARGH!

I've played through Mass Effect 2 twice now. Once as a neutral and once as a paragon. Each time, I lose one person in the final mission, which is keeping me from unlocking an achievement. I've made sure everyone was loyal, I had all ship upgrades, and a paragon score out the wazoo, and yet I still lose someone each time. I think it's because I don't quite have ALL the squad/weapon upgrades. I think I'll have to play it through once more, reimporting my paragon. The main reason I didn't get all the squad/weapon upgrades was that I ran out of credits, but a reimported character starts with a big wad of bonus credits and resources.

I would only think of doing it again, because I'm so close to having a perfect gamer score on this game. 825/1030 right now, with only six achievements still locked.

Of course, one of the achievements is "Play through the game on INSANITY level without ever changing the difficulty," and that one is worth 75 gp, so I may not ever quite get the perfect score on ME2, because who wants to bother with that achievement? But still.... a perfect score is so close (and yet so far away) it's tantalizing.

Also, one of these days, I'll have to post the final stats of my Elissa Cousland, Super-Badass of Ferelden. My Dragon Age rogue who was the toughest front-line fighter in my party. Her stats were kind of obscene by the end (of Origins, not Awakenings - I've only just started into Awakenings).

Sean, I hear ya. Well, sort of. The only game I am close to a perfect score on is Cataan (the board game online!). All that's left is racking up a ton of points in online play, and inviting friends to play. So? anyone want to buy Cataan? It's a xbox marketplace purchase? Then we can each invite the other to a game and knock that one off. It's a fun game. I know I've played some of you in meatspace world.

It cracks me up seeing your names pop up whenever I'm watching Netflix through the XBox. I always say "Hi" whenever I see your names.
