Well, DBO sure blew up for a bit there, didn't it? (Destiny)

First, how about your likes? I'll start.

I'll stick with our common area here. Videogames - so yes, I like playing videogames with friends, or solo. Destiny is my concentration right now.

Well, I'll add this. Lately I've let my beard grow thick and then I goof around and shave it all weird like, then I forget I did it, walk into a job and folks look at me funny. If I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Lancaster PA, I'd probably fit right in.

So, how about dislikes?

No checkpoints in PoE, lack of story in Destiny, Star Wars prequels, 343 Industries, the fact that there are three Hobbit films (totally unnecessary in my opinion), and the Yankees (yeah I said it).

I've never touched Skolas PoE since I need folks that will stick with it for the hours I hear it takes. Hasn't happened yet. So I can't comment on checkpoints - I hear folks don't like it though. Lack of tangible story in Destiny? Not a dislike but certainly something I notice as not being 'fed' to me. I don't mind having to reach out and grab it myself though. So no, not a dislike. I only like the Prequels because they put the original trilogy in such sharp relief. I wonder if without those films if after all these years we'd have found the original series old and as cheesy as they actually are? I don't mind 343, I know some of the folks that work there and they're cool people. Hobbit films don't bother me and just an observation but your dislike of the Yankees makes you an Honorary Queens NYC resident. Welcome.

I don't like running ahead of myself and ruining an experience. No fun.

What's your favorite video gaming console or handheld device of all time?

All time would have to be the original Xbox, just for what it did to my life. Sega Dreamcast would be a close second.

Cake or pie?

What a stupid argument, right? Give me both.

Agreed.

Whose posts do you always find yourself clicking on?

This is not a judgmental thing, it's just more of habit - I'll click on Claude and Kermit right away. Mainly because their posts will do a good job of summarizing all the other posts around them. So it's a quick way to get the gist of what's going on. But that said, I do rely on clicking on the 'open in thread' button, which just means I'm seeing everyone's post all at once. But I can get easily overwhelmed and just miss things. And there are plenty of other people who do post w/ substance so I'll eventually click on everyone's post.
