I now have an extra #1 globe and an extra #8 (I'm keeping the foil one but the non-foil is up for grabs).

I need 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9. Willing to trade both the 8 and 1 in a single lot for any combination of the aforementioned needed globes. Also willing to negotiate trading a game. Whichever game you want within reason.

I realized that my DVD of Baldur's gate 2 has stopped working when I decided to replay it yet again.

Luckily I could get it from GOG so I'm going to go for it now. Usually I've been making sorcerers or swashbucklers (They can dual wield longswords and although they don't have all the thief skills, losing backstab and stealth I think, they still have search/disarm traps and lockpick. Which are the only thief skills I use...) but this time I made human female warrior because a) greatswords! b) Going to see the romance options.

Kinda reminds me of when Turbine introduced artificers into DDO.  Now, we've got two trap monkies: the rogues, who can dodge almost any trap, but aren't spectacular at damage without surprise, and artificers, which have crappier saves, but have freaking magic and a steel dog to back them up.  Dunno why, but I've always preferred the stealthy trap monkey...though, that may just be my Thief instincts taking over.

Now I just need 4, 5, and 9 thanks to Cerim again. I really want to get the badge one more time before the thing ends.

I played Mini Ninjas for a bit and it was better than I expected. I like the silliness of it, but it almost tries too hard in certain areas and would be more enjoyable with a different theme, I think.

After I thought I had mastered Dark Souls, I went back to Demons Souls and got the shit kicked out of me for hours straight. this game is BRUTAL. no frequent checkpoints, things are explained even less and only having 50-75% of your health in soul form. but I still have fun, and I don't know why.

Well, I just beat Heroine's Quest like... 4 times now.

Once as the Sorceress, once as the Rogue, once as a Warrior, and once as a Warrior who was honorable enough to receive the sword Balmung (which itself is an homage to the Paladin prestige and his flaming sword from the Quest for Glory series)

Unlike becoming a Paladin in Quest for Glory 2 and 3, gaining Balmung is MUCH harder, lol.  And it's a high-risk high-reward weapon, too, being a zweihander.  It's decently fast for its size and damage, but it takes away your block command (same with the two-handed axe) and you have to rely on your dodging skills more.

Compared to the Paladin's sword which was basically an overpowered upgrade to the Fighter's standard sword anyways, and in the fifth game was easily the best weapon in the game.

I've yet to get a perfect score with any of my characters, though.  In fact, I don't think anyone has yet achieved a perfect score.

Noice, hope to see you on the RO2/RS servers.

Well this sucks.  Although I've had Pokemon Black 2, I could never access the Dream World to catch those pokes with hidden abilities because, for some reason, my DS wouldn't go online.  Now I have a 3DS that allows me to go online, even with DS games, but they shut down the B/W2 online features.  Damn, I wanted my Truant Durant and Gyarados with Moxie!

[Art Vandelay]

Played a round of Ace of Spades (as in the original, non-shitty version). Boy, am I rusty. Even on a map with zero scope for digging tunnels, I still got face fucked particularly hard.

Still, great game. Damn shame that the Jagex version is so utterly terrible.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 the game really did not age well not giving block scan and dodge roll immediately basically makes fighting bullshit.  Also making me do the gummi sections over and over again until I get the ability to warp to worlds i've visited was so uncool

I've been on as much as I can. Unfortunately, the game seems to respond the worst to my occasionally spotty wifi connection; while other games are fine unless the connection comes close to dropping entirely, Red Orchestra 2 keeps my ping almost permanently above 200 and will lag at the slightest provocation.

When the connection is good and perfect, I end up doing better at it than any other multiplayer game I own (I'm just not a twitch shooter guy). When there's even the slightest problem, I'm warping across the map and the game is claiming that it detects speed hacks.

If they changed the game too much, then fans would've been pissed.

I have Red Orchestra Ostfront but I don't have the other games and I'm sure nobody plays 41-45 anymore. Ah well.

Also if anyone has 3, 4, 7, 9, or 10 for the globes let me know. I'm tempted to just buy them on the market so I can get the third badge but meh.
