November 18 - ? Chat:Spoiler-Free Edition

First of all, please recommend this diary immediately so that it stays up top for a least a couple of days.  Second, let 'er rip: anything and everything that isn't quite worthy of a full diary. Share it here, but keep it spoiler-free.

I will start.  I put up my SPOILER-laden impressions of the final chapter of Act 5 on the Wiki.  Check it out, but be warned, there be major gameplay spoilers (not story spoilers so much).  

11/10  It gets the extra point for fulfilling childhood fantasies.

  •  Great Stuff! (none / 0)

    I started playing Insane with papi the other day and really enjoyed it. Though I haven't been able to play as much I've wanted =/

    Here's why from a recent Facebook status of mine:

    Nicholas is "working on one of the two ten pages papers he has to write on top of 2 group presentations and two more three page papers."

    Sooo ya. If it seems like I'm not online and on GearHeads as much you know why! =P

    •  Next, I suppose it will be exams? (none / 0)

      'Tis the season.   I remember at Christmas, everyone would come home with zits all over their faces because of the stress.  I loved University, but I don't miss the exams or papers.

      Hit it hard, SweetTea.

        exams and papers.  Razor Hanzo is in the midst of a twenty-five page Masters thesis that's due this Saturday.  I feel for the guy. :(  I still have nightmares about my final project for my Architecture degree and Masters of Education dissertation.  Talk about post traumatic stress!  Argh!

  •  What's everyone's general concensus on the (none / 0)

    NXE / Avatars?

    Personally, I thought I was gonna HATE the Avatars, but since I got somewhat of an acurate look-alike for me (only thing that's really different is the tattoo, eyebrow piercing, and my hair's a bit longer) I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

    And as for the NXE, I've only had a short time to dabble in it, but I'm loving it so far. Right now, I'm in the process of installing my 3 fayve games to my Hard Drive - Gears2, L4D, RB2 - and it's not too bad, but you can't really complain since this is supposed to make your games run a lot quicker, and those 3 have some massive load times. I might write some more impressions as I get more time with it.

      man.  Sorry to hear that.  Hopefully you can find something soon.  I've been down that road too many times.  The company I was at before the one I'm at now closed down as well.  Times are really hard right now, that's for sure.  Best of luck MDK, keep your head up :)

    •  sorry, man (none / 0)

      Shit's scary. It seems like everybodys got reason to start preparing for the worst recently. We came back from the long Columbus day weekend to find that 10 temps had been let go and there was a For Sale sign in front of the building. Since then, 2 or 3 peoples paychecks have bounced every week. My career outlook isn't too sunny either.

      But best of luck, dude. I feel for ya.

    •  I'm sorry to hear about that, MDK. (none / 0)

      That's awful news when it hits people in this community.  It's hilarious when the government still won't use the word "recession."  The Citicorp Group just laid off 53K workers a week before Thanksgiving.  This is getting more and more dismal.  

      Most of us know that you are juggling college and work at the same time.  Remember, the government will loan you up to $100K for college and you've got the rest of your life to pay it back.  Regardless, I hope that you can bounce back real soon.

  •  So I decided to name my shotgun. (none / 0)

    Henceforth, my Gnasher will be called.........

    APOCOLYPSE 6000

    I'm completely aware that this is pretty arrogant, but consider this: Had I decided to name it this time last year, it would have wound up being called "Crappy Day 112". And I know i'm not, like Really Doe good with the thing, but he can name his Gnasher whatever he wants. As long as it's not "APOCOLYPSE 6000".
