succubus_queen, gonna start calling you SQ it's easier.
You under a heat advisory there too? I thought I remembered you living somewhat close?
I haven't seen the advisory, but I think it was 98 on my car themometer when I drove home, and some off my facebook friends less than an hour a way are mentioning 103 degree temps. This is all in Kentucky btw.
And SQ is fine. I have actually grown to hate my name here. If I had known I'd end up posting so much, I would have taken name selection more seriously.
All this talk of pools makes me sad. I haven't swam or kayaked in two years. My SO is afraid of any water deep enough to be fun and has never learned to swim. So when we are figuring out what to do on the weekends, anything watery is pretty low on the list.

Hitting Yellowstone National Park in about 3 weeks! Will be my first long camping trip since we each got a shih-poo puppy. Soooo, picture a long road trip with 3 people (my dad is going with), a giant blue and gold macaw parrot who gets bored and starts screaming after about 4 hours or driving, and two little dogs. They are both hyper, only half house broken, and one of them gets car sick.
I just hope I can keep Dad's RV from getting damaged.
Real Life skill system is terrible! you can only add skills by developing technologies and those take literally decades (at best) to get completed! and then you have to pay to get them!!!
I tell you, Real Life has the worst dev team ever!!
Some skills just come from reading and practice and exercise.
RPGs always crack me up, because in most you can only advance by killing things. If you are learning fire magic, is killing things really better practice than just shooting a wall or something? LOL
I don't watch very much TV. The only series I follow very closely are True Blood, Glee, and Psych. I used to watch a lot of House but it depresses me.
I watched a really interesting movie last night. "Jeff Who Lives At Home". My SO picked it out, and I was expecting it to be a mediocre stoner comedy. Kind of starts that way for the first half, but it actually gets very emotional and serious toward the end. I couldn't stop crying the last 25 minutes or so of it. Which I got laughed at for.
It basically explores questions of fate and purpose and arrives at a very idealistic yet beautiful conclusion.
That said, I could stuill see myself having occasional marathon all night sessions on this game, while progressing through the rest of inferno acts. Or if I got excited about almost being able to afford a piece of gear, I could see myself temporarily picking up the pace on my farming.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's an ARPG. Just fast, crazy spare time fun. I'm playing much like I would play any game with fun, simple mechanics. Like.. solitaire, tetris, temple run, tomb raider, mario bros or something. LOL!
Still enjoying D3 here. It's like I always expected. I played like crazy getting to 60 and inferno, and now I find myself still liking the game, but not nearly as excited about it. So now, it's jsut something I do, like other people are with TV shows. I try to get one nice session in a day. Worst case scenario, I gain a little skill, and gain a little more gold toward tuning my gear. Best case scanerio, I find a few aucitno house sellable items and drop them on the GAH.
I am running Act I now. I use the starting point right before butcher, then clear the cathedral for a warm up and to build NV. Then I run Halls of Agoncy, Cursed Hold, and the butcher with full NV. It's low stress, I rarely die, and if I do find something I can't handle, I skip it.
The game is a lot less frustrating if you can enjoy the combat, and don't mind the low rate for usable gear drops. Just something relaxing to do for an hour or hour and a half in the evenings. That's all I ever hope for from a game after the first month.

@Vegas Cool! I'm going to do that here.
@FreddyBenson I hope when it comes back online, everything is there.
@Damaero I've been out a few days and never got to really thank you for the name change. I appreciate it!
If I ever start a band, thats the name. LOL
LOL! Read in his voice, it definitely fits. I like that rogueish personality.
Ha!
Now I just have to think of a name. LOL

And I'm definitely not rushed. It's the summer, and there's so much more to do. LOL!
