You can get Sid Meyer's Civilization Beyond Earth free this weekend from the Humble Store Also there is a big EA sale over at GoG You know, if you never bought Origins for some reason and want to now.

Anyone watching Stranger Things?

@Sunny if it did, I'm sure it will happen again, since last year more people died from selfie related incidents than shark attacks...

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Selfie+Pokemon catching death.

@HorrorHound I'm scheduled for a blood flow test, which just sounds like some sort of nefarious vampire scheme. She said it could take months because there is a super long waiting list. (Which is typical in Canada. Yeah, we don't have to pay every time we see a doctor, but the trade off is that we have super long wait times. Took them from September to July of grade 9 to figure out it was my appendix, because even when I went into the emergency room and they would poke me and ask if it hurt my answer was "Not now, but it would have 3 hours ago when I came in.")

Anyway, I give blood and I bleed well. I can sit at the table and have a bag full and leave before someone who sat down after me. So I don't know what the test is going to show.

But I'm doing what "I'm supposed to and it really could be worse. Plus I get ice cream for being an adult about things, so it works out.

I played a warlock from the start, when you needed like 4 on Garr. And I was the only one because they were broken.

On the other hand my dad said he stopped playing because it was too easy, and he's the person responsible for getting me into gaming. I tried to lure him back when I started again, and he has no interest.

@Cupcake No, I haven't. It's on my list. I have a very long list. One good thing about being sick is I have a legitimate reason to binge things right now. I'm uh... watching Pretty Little Liars right now. (Also, you know what's weird? Watching Nolan North do live action... things. So weird.)

It's weird watch Scream on Netflix and having to wait though.

Anyone on T-Mobile?

Also, Saints Row 4 is free on PS4 right now, if you have PSN. I'm sniklefras on there if you want to add me as your playstation friend and we can run around destroying stuff together!

Okay, this one involves Uplay, so some people might not be interested, but since it's Ubisoft's 30th birthday they are giving away a game a mont for 7 months, for free.

This month is Splinter Cell.

Just sign into uplay and go to the Ubi 30 tab.

Oh yeah, speaking of clients everyone hates, Nox is free on Origin right now too.

I'm liking Scream and the turn this season took going from slasher to thriller. Even though I like a good slasher.

Body #2 found.

@Arkandel LFr is pretty much like that too. You just queue up and go, just like looking for a dungeon. It's especially easy if you go for ones that offer bags because others will be doing it as well.

And it's awesome for cash, I know have all the heirlooms (even the PVP trinkets because I wasn't looking) and am working on leveling them up.

Raids only take 4-5 hours now if you have a dedicated group and are trying mythics. Day time can be a bit slow waiting to get in, but nights pick up, especially the ones offering bags. And it's all personal loot too so you can get upgrades as drops, or the tokens which will have random stats for your spec.

I always found it odd that pretty much every MMO the focus is on end game and raiding, when it's usually the smallest playerbase of any group. I blame Everquest. They weren't first, but Blizzard went and made an MMO based of their model, and ever since it exploded, everyone tries to be the WoW killer, so the End game mentality stuck.

But yeah, super easy now to LFR, you need a certain score, but if you do the timewalking events you can get it easily. (I came back at the end of April, and got a 6 month sub because it was cheaper in the long run and my gearscore is 685? Granted I've been sick and with nothing to do but it's not that hard now.)

@Arkandel Yeah, she hung out with Arthas, sure, but if you go back and do the culling of Stratholme, she was pretty judgey then and left him. Arthas might not have become what he did if she had stayed maybe, and tried to stop him. (Of course I think he did what he had to do. Rock and a hard place, road to hell and all that.)

Anyway, I accidentally pre-ordered when I came back because I had to rebuy the game on US servers and surprise! Legion. The Beta has been fun, and since I like to play dress up, the inclusion of an armour tab finally for transmuting has had me running around gathering clothes and weapons. You don't even have to loot it, just see them, and they are account-wide.

As for useful, if all you ever do is LFM, so long as you don't go visibly afk, you won't get kicked out. Except maybe on Archimonde, and I've only seen that happen once.

When I play a PC cop, I want to deal with stuff like I linked in the Pokemon thread; NPC's brushing their teeth too loud and talking about God, not what PC #34 has done.

Legion is fun. Demon hunter is fun.

Word of advise though, I would suggest taking the swoop button off of your main bar, at least until you leave the starting area because you can swoop yourself right off the cliffs. And as we all know from Alistair in Dragon Age, Swooping is bad.

I'm Moiren#1319

And also wow, Jaina is even more of a judgemental bitch, and I didn't think that was possible.

I'm really not worried about spellcheckers, honestly. I'm more wondering about ease of use so new blood doesn't get scared off.

Given that Pokemon Go has surpassed Tinder, and now porn for searches, Pokemon Go isn't going anywhere soon.

Sometimes things don't get run because they aren't allowed to staff in the sphere they enjoy most so they never want to be staff, which can lead to nothing happening because you might have someone who is in a staff position as a stop gap. So that can be staff limiting players in that way.

And I say again, if you can't trust a person to not cheat as staff, you can't trust them to be staff in the first place.

Just a few places that Pokemon have shown up at, so far.

Pokemon Go player stabbed, keeps playing (But all of the reports are interesting, tbh.)

News Reporter Walks in Front of Meteorologist’s Live Weather Report While Playing Pokémon Go

I used to think trying to explain to people about going to highschool without a phone made me old before.
(Also, take that, teacher who said I wouldn't have a calculator in my pocket!)
