I saw it on youtube, really not as good as it sounds, due to being poorly animated and not focused on the interesting part (which is understandable, since it's not porn).
The Secret World is a very well written game that is based around the concept that you are drafted into a secret order devoted to fighting insidious forces. The world is kept ignorant of these dangers through fairy tales, conspiracies, and lies. There is a mysterious filth that corrupts humans and turns them into carriers an unknown purpose, creatures from the sea that serve Cthulu, zombies, rogue mages and cultists who wish to summon dead and dreaming Gods, and secret agents.
The three factions are all in a state of tentative truces. The Templars of the Old World have evolved beyond their tyrannical roots into an army. They believe in the Greater Good and are okay with applying an iron fist to the outside world to stop chaos and demons from spreading, but try to be fundamentally decent to their soldiers. The Illuminati made a power play to take over Europe once, and got rebuffed by the Templars after a drawn out war. They hitched a ride with the Pilgrims to the New World and now control America. They are corporate, ruthless, and believe in a system of merit. The weak are useless, the strong are showered with any riches they can earn. The Illuminati and Templars are continually two steps away from all out war. The Dragons are a third faction based out of Korea, and no one really knows their deal - except they're behind all sorts of circumstances, engineering some great event, as they stoke the flames between the other two factions.
You are sent off to three zones to stop enemies. The Templar send you as a soldier, the Illuminati send you as a secret agent, and the Dragon send you as a suicide bomber.
Add in a corporation that watches from afar and does clean up detail as necessary while also figuring out how to make a profit from the chaos, and a mercenary corporation with shades of Umbrella, and that's the world.
You also solve puzzles with an in-game browser and fight mans. No classes, just a huge array of skills you can mix/match.
You forgot to mention one thing.
It's on Steam.

An armed guard at a Lapeer, Mich., charter school -- hired in the wake of the Newtown massacre -- made a "breach of security" this week when he left his gun unattended in the bathroom "for a few moments," Chatfield School Director Matt Young told the Flint Journal. The gun was unloaded.

was bothering him after class over a question and he ran off to catch his train. except that he had, by class consensus, cut class one and a half hours early just before...
Wow. I knew exactly nothing about the Secret World until I just looked it up based on this discussion, and that shit looks RIGHT up my alley. Hmm. I didn't want to plunge into any new games that don't have an actual ending, but that is damn tempting...
D O I T
I want to.
Gotta see if I can rationalize spending another $30 right now after blowing so much cash on the Steam winter sale...
I think the cushion of the bed will have an impact. I dunno if that necessarily makes it less effective or more likely to cause injury or anything like that though.
Also, no one believe me when I guessed about the peephole (No one had the ..Arcane Knowledge or whatever the fuck the skill is to pass the check) so the evil illusion thing wound up escaping.
It was one of those panther-like people I think.
Also one of the players had used their character before and had lost a hand to a mimic. So the first chest we can across he like panicked and destroyed it. And it turned out there was a magical pixie or some shit trapped inside it that was uh...in not too good of shape because of that
Dead and in several pieces
motherfucking rakshasas!
I had my group go through an encounter with a rakshasa that was basically just like the adventure time episode "What Was Missing" with the same kind of door puzzle. The "doorlord" was a Rakshasa that infiltrated their caravan and stole little bits that were important to everybody, then hid in a portal like the one from AT.
I'm amazed the door puzzle actually went pretty well.

Fuck yes.
Excited.
There are pre-made 'decks' if you don't like creativity, and when you get all the skills for a deck you unlock an outfit.
But I totally have passives from all over the damn place right now and I punch people with claws it's rad
Was poking around through some of the decks on the website. I think in the long run I would want to cobble together a mishmash character of my own, but the Puritan is so completely and totally perfect for the way I like to play in these types of games...hmm.

There are far too many factors interfering with my being able to play The Secret World (most notably my lack of a machine to play it on - this laptop would not cut it [- and, of course, school]) but I do still like hearing about it!
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

There are definitely some patchy parts. (FUCK JOHN WOLF.) But overall it's really enjoyable.

That good? How much is it?
First he aimed to do 100 pushups in a row without stopping, and did it. And now he's done 250 box jumps in a row.
It's a strange combination of humbling/inspiring/motivating.
Thirty dollars!

$30. You get a decent sum of funbux upon completing 30 quests and a bunch of starting items and free aesthetic items for getting it through Steam too.
Any reason why I shouldn't do sit-ups in bed?

Depending on the firmness of your mattress, you may find them surprisingly difficult to do!
Other than that no not really.

Oh, hey, I have a three day weekend, too!
Thanks, Deebaser!
but sleep hygiene recommendations usually say to only use the bed for sleep, relaxation, and sex

they clearly don't know the kind of sex i'm having
Awesome.
Because your bed will get gross and sweaty?
