I'm starting to love my soon-to-be Arcane Archer.  There's something about being able to kill skeletons with a bow on elite (which, normally, is all but impossible because of DR) that's just intensely pleasing.

I've fallen in love with my Elven Wizard that I just made.  A much different feel from my level 6 Half-Elven Sorcerer, and I think it's actually a better feel.

I'm definitely going Pale Master, simply because that self-healing is extremely delicious (not to mention the death aura is very nice to have) and because insta-kill spells will also be delicious when I get them.

However, there is one single spell I've fallen in love with.  Sound Blast.

Destroying breakables, stunning groups of enemies while dealing fairly significant sonic damage to them, oh, and it only costs 4 SP.  Love it so much.

Disrupt Undead is underwhelming damage considering that it only targets undead.  I think it could've stood to either have additional effects, or quicker-scaling damage.
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.

So while playing Hitman: Blood Money last night, I found that the only way to achieve Silent Assassin in Flatline is to kill one target in a gas explosion and crush the other under a chandelier by setting off a remote mine on the spot where it's anchored.

Call me crazy, but two explosions isn't exactly what I'd call "silent".

Yeah, somehow, two brutal accident in close proximity to each other and occuring within minites of each other isn't suspicious at all.  And don't forget the guy choking on his own weightlifting machine.

The main problem I had was sneaking into the morgue at the end.  You don't get SA unless you return with your suit, but since you leave from that place, you need to sneak in and leave without alerting the guards (one standing right there and one looking from the opposite building).  How did you manage to get past them?

Maybe it's a glitch, but it seems you're allowed in the morgue as long as you have the key. Even when an orderly walks in while I'm inside, he won't get pissed off at me unless he sees me in the act of reviving the CIA fellow.

Sleepy did not warn me of the amount of boob in Witcher 2. I have to be very careful of when I play the game now.

XD  Yeah, I've seen some very, gratuitous parts in video game videos on youtube.  I can see how that would be surprising if you weren't expecting it.

Note, Never taunt them from a high place that they can't seem to get up. At least one of them has left to go find a way up there, and you'll barely hear the buzz before you die.

Sounds like when, in the first mission (not the tutorial), you can shoot the son downstairs while he's sniffing, and even if they find the body, it still counts as SA.  Weird.

I don't know how you wouldn't have expected it. The boobs were pretty much the only thing about the game that the gaming press talked about leading up to it's release.

Between that and nobody noticing when you steal the seaplane and fly away, I have concluded that Chileans make really shitty guards.

In other news, I bought me a copy of Spacechem last night. It's a very well made programming logic based indie puzzle game. I've only just finished the training missions and the puzzles are already genuinely challenging, and this is coming from someone who almost finished Manufactoria.

I did expect it. I thought I pointed that out. What I didn't expect was the amount. Also, since I don't read bullshit like Kotaku there's a very small likelihood of me to hear about something like that ad nauseum.

In other news, I'm currently stuck on one of the boss fights in Witcher 2. I am also stuck in Mass Effect 3 trying to beat Kai Leng. So I lost my gaming mojo today. :(

Only way I've been able to take them out is to let them take out Boone and ED-E and then pick off the remaining ones with a hunting shotgun.

Ironbite-damn thing is money when it comes to taking 'em out.
