Despite knowing about indoctrination I thought it was a good idea to put a human Reaper near my office. Now I am a sentient husk :(.

Don't laugh. That sheep has a nasty bite.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Seriously, I am a master of rapid button pressing and I still couldn't get that page. Also, what the hell is Canary Mary? She's like a mentally ill woman who tried to dress as a bird and failed.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

The absolute worst example of it, too.

Punishes you for being perfect, punishes you for not being perfect enough.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

I wonder why she was left in the cage, if only I could put her back in.

The trick is to use your index finger and make very light and rapid taps. Ignore your instinct to make harder taps, because then you'll be wasting valuable time drawing back your finger further than it needs to be. If you can get the technique right, you'll win by a surprisingly large distance.

That sounds reasonable. I know I won the first round by moving slowly at the beginning, then speeding up very quickly once we rounded a turn, preventing her from catching up. That wasn't working, second time around.

I saw one strategy which was to tap like a mad fucker and then pause the game to rest

Finally got my Warrior lady to 80 in GW2.  Of all the weapons I've used for 'em, and they've got a HUGE variety, nothing beats the classic sword-and-board for close-quarters combat.  Plus, there's just something...cool about how that looks, for me.  Giant swords and hammers are for people with no aiming abilities.  Also, traited out so I can use a longbow at double normal range, and I can almost out-distance my brother's Ranger, who's got a 50% longbow range boost.  Its skills also let me set things on fire, which is always fun.

Bah, the sword and shield just took too damn long to use, give me big honking sword or give me swift death... that was pretty much how I played.

I actually prefer dual wielding swords in games like that.  More damage output like two handers, but a lot faster.

Dunno if Warriors can go dual-wield with swords, but I know they can with axes...they call it point-blank AoE for a reason, lol.
