EDIT:  This also pretty much seals that I'm playing Hunter class when this comes out.  Dat revolver.

I'm joining the hordes to attempt to kill the defiance servers once it finishes downloading, be happy to join anyone else. Steam name is Distind for anyone who doesn't already have me.

There's a bundle called Groupees Be Mine and it includes Patrician IV as well as Blood Bowl and Drakensang.

If you're looking for music they have music bundles as well.

Though I would suggest the current Game Music Bundle if you want music.

IndieGala also has their own weekly bundles same as humble.

So I'm playing Star Trek Online and I come out of a system and I look around me and I say to myself, "Awful lot of Romulan Warbirds round here."

Ironbite-seriously, Legacy of Romulus just dropped and people already have high tier ships.

That's how it goes. Unless the developers put all of the high level content behind gigantic restrictions and nigh-impossible challenges that even the brightest/most obsessive minds can't figure out due to the sheer difficulty, there WILL be people obsessive enough to grind until they get it nonstop.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Somehow, I accidentally bred Primeval and Noble bees in Minecraft.  I seriously do NOT know how that happened.

Happens in pretty much any MMO. I remember one time when one of the WoW expansions came out, I saw people at end game level in end game raid gear within TWO DAYS.

Same with regular multiplayer, especially the new Call of Duty games. Even people who didn't have access to leaked or beta content will make it to top levels within a day or two. Combine the fact that some people get beta access (especially with Black Ops 2), and you've got people with the absolute maximum level possible in the game ON RELEASE.

You do know that your account gets reset when the beta ends, right? It's supposed to, anyways. All the betas I've been a part of my stuff's been rolled back. Most notably with the Mass Effect 3 MP beta.

But yeah, you'll always find people who devote their time to getting to the top, and quickly. You don't even have to be good to do it, which is a kick in the pants for those who want to do it 'legitimately'.

That's one of the reasons I love Guild Wars...both of 'em.  Anyone can get ideally-statted gear with relative ease.  The expensive shit's just expensive because its pretty and/or requires rare materials to make, not because they provide any special bonuses.  Your power comes from properly combining gear, stats, skills, and tactics, not by how much money you've got in your bank.

To this day I've never completed any of the Elder Scrolls games, I'd just get to a certain point and then lose interest. So I'm determined to finally finish one, but which one should I start with? Any but Skyrim, that one doesn't work on my machine.

In my experience, Oblivion takes the least commitment of all of them, especially if you ignore the side quests and focus on the main story. If you can stomach the utterly retarded leveling system and enemy scaling, it's probably your best bet.
