Morning Discussion
I mentioned it briefly in our PC-focused article last week but I think that the clarity afforded by the better graphics are definitely a factor in my play. I can spot enemies a lot better on PC whereas they looked washed out on console--even though I'm using the same 1080p monitor for both versions.
I tend to get pretty addicted to the multiplayer components of games as soon as they come out but stop playing them entirely a week or two post-launch: Halo Reach, Medal of Honor, and Modern Warfare 2 suffered the same fate when I got them.
We'll have to see if I return to the game this week. I wonder if playing it in 3D would change the experience?

How was everyone's weekend?
Myself I got some gaming in, including some TF2 time, celebrated a friend's birthday, cleaned my car, and prepared for my trip to Nashville next weekend!-

Saturday I ran Blades for Daggerdale for a group of 6; my rolls pretty much sucked and they destroyed every single encounter. In the 2nd one, someone had a skill power that let him make a History check in place of initiative and then share that result with the entire party. Fucker rolled a 27 (highest monster init was a 26) and they nuked 5/8 minions and bloodied the brute in the first round. I guess I can take solace in the fact that they failed the skill challenge and lossed 150 XP.
I got to play The Prospect in the afternoon with my 1st-level avenger. The table was 1/1/1/3/3/4 and we went high (of course!); the last fight was an elite and a bunch of traps. Despite being an idiot and not thinking to use Abjure Undead (on a ghost duh!) I think I only missed once. It was insubstantial (you know...being a ghost) and had 2 separate self-healing powers; by the time we killed it we'd done ~350 points of damage to it. It was a fun encounter, though, tricky and ultimately satisfying, not wretched and miserable like the MYRE where we started the mod facing off against an insubstantial T-Rex while also suffering a disease that caused -2 to attack rolls. -

Great! Ate a two pound steak which was incredibly delicious and put me in total food coma all of Sunday. Avoided the queue and strict door policy (no sneakers, no jeans) at a fancy club by being invited as a VIP on Saturday night. Went to the zoo and caught the marine animals show where I saw a seal dancing to reggaeton. And had the best Vietnamese food ever - a perfect balance of flavors, exquisite taste, definitely the best meal I've had in months.
