New to Druid Tanking

I wouldn't stack it but don't look at a ring or something and say "ew, defense rating" (conversely, "ew, parry/block rating" is something you ought to say unless it...

Opening with Aimed Shot?
2010-03-16 00:00:00
not to open with an aimed shot.
Hell, even at 60 I would solo really hard mobs using the tactic to open with Aimed, cuncussive, multi, arcane, and then feign death right away when my pet was on it, just to open with a huge burst of damage.
That technique is made even ...

PAX 2007 In A Nutshell

all: "My keynote went perfectly, and the audience (and the gaming press online) responded to it in ways I never dreamed possible. I didn't think there would be slightly more than 5000 people in the room when I spoke ..."

The first Penny Arcade Panel featured a lot of middlin' questions, highlighted by the incredible singing power of Jerry Holkins. A description of his performance is in my weekend update, but the real surprise didn't come until after the questions were done. The end of the panel turned ugly when the PA gents left the stage for Uwe Boll to have a chance at the mike. Gabe said later that weekend that he was surprised by the crowd reaction. "You can tell when a crowd is angry, and this was the first time I've felt that at at PAX." The unapologetic Boll was screamed at fairly mercilessly by the attendees.

Other events from the early weekend included a discussion of modern storytelling in videogames. Luminaries Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island), Dave Grossman (Sam and Max) and Nate Fox (Sly Cooper) came together to jaw on a topic near to their hearts. The group discussed linear stories vs. sandbox-style gameplay, user-created content, kids games, and the importance of theme even if your core story isn't all that great: "Grossman [said], 'Well, story isn't just about dialogue and narrative, right - I mean really you want to learn something about the human experience. I think that if I weren't doing adventure games I wouldn't think of myself as a narrator, but rather as the hand of fate. I'm going to kind of let you run around and do what you want and everything. Just to let the player go around and do what they want - they can feel like it's the good hand of fate or the bad hand of fate, but not that they're completely being controlled.'"

The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, the Penny Arcade videogame currently in development, was a visible presence at the show all weekend. The Friday unveiling of a new game demo to the media at a special Q&A event was followed by a weekend's worth of running through the game for attendees on the show floor. Most everyone got to see the title, and hear the news that it will be coming to Xbox Live alongside its PC distribution avenues. The opening, grim, text still makes me smile: "Four gods wait on the windowsill / Where once eight gods did war and will / And if the gods themselves may die / What does that say for you and I?"

PA Panel II

9/11 - Five Years Later

died.According to 9-1-1 tapes, one of the passengers, Todd Beamer, had asked for the operator to pray with him before the passengers attempted to retake the aircraft. After praying, he simply said, "Let's roll." The term "Let's roll" would later become the war cry for those fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.For a day, put aside your anti-American remarks, your Canadian military jokes and think of those that lost family in the attacks and the subsequent military actions. 32 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have died in Afghanistan since 2002.I will never forget where I was when I found out about the attack. My wife and I were purchasing a new car-seat for our two-year-old son when the checkout clerk told us that planes had crashed into buildings in the U.S.Where were you?Post a comment at the bottom of th...
