I'm the one who took this picture, although that would make it difficult to see me. I have plenty of post-markering Dave Kaplan pictures tho.

Been too long dude. They use creatures now, it's weird.

I guess I'm in the minority of WoW players, but I quit because there never was anything to do. I was in a top guild, and we just crushed everything such that it probably would have been more fun for me to actually be casual. If you're on the higher end of WoW, they really don't release relevant content fast enough to keep it interesting, and there's only so many races to grind to exalted (for rewards you generally won't use anyway) or gold to farm (for things you buy that aren't as good as your gear anyway). The only enjoyable part of the game was arena towards the end, but how many times can you really get gladiator?

I think drinking after your tournaments was not an uncommon venture, you just always had to work the tournament or the next day and never partook. I think all you'd really have to do is have a tournament and not have it go late, and the shenanigans always follow. That said, the people that went out also tended to have rooms and stay for a second day, and that second day limits your availability to go get hammered. I've been itching to play again lately so I'd probably show up.

From my knowledge of what games you'd actually play Steve, pretty much anything you'd get that's new is going to be able to run it unless you go super bare minimum. I have a Thinkpad for work and I'm a fan of it, unsure about the price though.

Pretty much sums it up.

Congrats Buddy.

For anyone wanting to start again, ladder reset next tuesday, though I'm personally undecided with what I'll do.

CT doesn't sell after 9 or on Sundays.

I don't even play anymore and this actually makes me want to start again because it makes everything so much more interesting.

Not so much dupes, but there are bots. People using the bots to run baal don't seem to really be stopped, however several people I know using bots to do meph or whatnot have been.

So accounts of anyone who actually plays? Need people to play with.

I play with a bunch of guys I used to play WoW with, so if anyone is playing, or wants to join us, my acct name is Mysticalkiller, so feel free to hit me up...

To dredge up an old topic, I started playing again recently, USEast Ladder. Anyone still around?

I'll probably actually come to this, mostly for the before and afterparty which usually tends to go along with such things.

Steve's couch never forgot it.

Yeah I'd give it a shot as well.

Also curious

Let me know if you need people to help out with this Ray.

I think overall it's easier then GH2, even the last group of songs wasn't particularly hard. I guess it's debatable if Through the Fire and Flames is harder then Jordan, and I'd probably give it the nod because it's so damn long.

Just pointing out your original prediction

Voting this Carl not quite crazy enough.

As someone who's helped Ray out running Waterbury's on more the one occasion, I'd just like to point out that running it isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world, and if Ray wants to get rid of someone who is consistently making things more difficult for him to run the event smoothly, no one should be complaining. Those who know Ray know that he isn't running the tournaments because they are wildly profitable to him (they aren't), he runs them as a service to the community. I don't know Nate Pease, so I won't claim to judge him based on the facts presented in this thread, rather I'll choose to judge him on the fact that everyone who has been to Waterbury can attest that Ray goes out of his way to be fair to everyone and if he has deemed Nate's acts to warrant not allowing him back at his tournaments, I'm in full support of his decision.

Eh, we still clear Naxx every week because we enjoy doing it, that's why you raid.

So who's still around?

I really never used quickenings. I beat the game at level 64 or so, and it was stupidly easy, such that it was dissappointing. I haven't done all the hunts yet due to lack of time, but that certainly seems to be where any challenge in this game is.

You should hook me up with the turtle mount scratch off...

Finally killed C'thun here.

Managed to take Thrall to 19% with like 35 people last night as well. We plan on killing him next week. He was retardedly easy, and had we better prepared to keep the horde out, would have been dead.
