    The super goth Vampire LARPing RPG.

    I think the most recent edition isn't actually bad mechanically compared to the earlier clusterfucks, but the userbase is still the bottom of the barrel.

    is it even more goth than VtM?

    It is VtM.

    It's the setting for White Wolf's Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Mummy, and Frankenberry game settings. And MMO permadeath from PVP will end badly.

    That is what it is.

    Also, LARPing RPG is kind of a nonsense. I feel ashamed for writing that.

    Can we talk about how excellent ME2 was?

    Because I just finished, and it was excellent.

    It was pretty excellent. I particularly liked
    Everything with Legion. Just everything. The Reaper IFF mission, his loyalty mission, his conversations with Shepard, his spat with Tali. Just everything.

    Tali's loyalty mission.

    The suicide mission

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Been reading a book in the Sookie Stackhouse books. True Blood, I think is the TV show.

    Reading the one that takes place in Jackson.

    It's... surprisingly not terrible.

    I remember their old LARP system wasn't that bad, or at least wasn't painfully nerdy as tests were all resolved with rock paper scissors, which I found to be quite excellent. Not that I would know anything about LARP systems...

    That said, of all the people I've played Tabletop games with, the least well socially adjusted amongst them I met through WoD groups.
    probably only because I didn't play Pathfinder

    EDIT: Least well... most poorly? Probably the latter.

    permadeath has a strong tradition of support in the community MMO subculture.

    I've never been a fan of it, but it was the Mac vs. PC of the NWN persistent worlds.

    I'm pretty sure I spend an unhealthy amount of time here, where did 400 people I don't know come from?

    Some guy modded an original XBox controller to this with the vibration function.

    The PAX board seems to be where people who don't really post on the forums end up. It's odd.

    legion is my favorite character by far. it's lame that you get him so late in the game.

    basically everything in ME2 is amazing except for the final boss and mineral scanning.

    the DLC is insanely good. If you play ME2 without doing all the dlc you are missing out on so much.

    You actually get both if Jack survived ME2.

    Her character really develops and she becomes awesome:
    Her experiences on your ship have taught her how to love, and now she is like a hard-ass gym teacher for the psychic children who are her new family.

    I always figured those were fake, like they just vibrated enough that it felt like a mild shock.

    Those of you who recall my impassioned post on the double fine backers forum about why there should be a female main character:

    The poll is now 249/215 in favor of female. I changed it into a 5 point lead!

    Or, you know, that was going to happen anyway, but again, I would like to believe in the amazing mind changing power of my oratory.
