Currently learning Japanese by playing games in Japanese.

Works wonders.

I've found that just immersing myself in an environment of the target language is the best way to learn it. It's not just games either. Reading blogs and such is an amazing resource for casual talk. This has done much more for me than grinding and memorization has ever done.

Not even just BT. Doing Karazhan is pretty fun now as well. We did it last night for shits and giggles:

- Pulled Moroes along with 2 table packs, 2 waiters and 1 of those strong packs on the side of the room.

- Pulled Curator with 2 void packs, and still killed him before he evocated.

- Killed Prince with only 1 infernal spawned.

This wasn't even a group going for max performance. I was running around without +hit gems and a proper spec.

Supposedly they're doing a lot better in the quests department for the next expansion. The feedback has been really great. I'm only anticipating that they're focusing more on the interactive quests and less on the grindfest ones.

The first Hemo tends to crit for around 3.2k to 3.4k. The second one ends up somewhere in the 4k range. This is very very rare, though. Zero resilience is a must. On casters WITH resilience, I tend to crit for about 2.5k-2.7k.

I PvP with the 4-piece T6 bonus, which adds bonus damage to Hemo. Also keep in mind that I already have quite a bit of passive armor penetration from my gear, in addition to Serrated Blades and Expose Armor.

Truth to be told, I've never really PvPed in full PvP gear, so I can't tell how it is. I still have problems dealing with ultra geared Paladins and Shaman, but once I find someone without resilience, I tend to see 4,000+ Hemos.

PvP-geared rogues will be a bit better off once the Cheat Death nerf happens, anyway.

I'm not really much of an arena person, so I'm kinda satisfied with this.

lame soundtrack
????????????????????????

Apparently you didn't beat the game huh?

I think ToS2 is simply using TotA's engine with a few enhancements. Seriously, it looks completely similar. Not even only the combat. But hey, I'm not complaining. TotA's systems were pretty good.

You make it seem like rogues are invincible in 1v1. I wish I had recorded the duel I had with BLiZZ's resto shaman.

All I played this game for was to hear about Kenji's soggy noodles.

I just picked up FES too. I pray for the noodles to make a reappearance.

As for the combat system, I agree it's kinda silly in the beginning. However, I got the feel for it as I progressed in the game. By the end, I didn't think it was a problem at all. I don't know about you guys, but it was perfectly controllable. You can easily set up the AI to not fuck up.

Just wait until those frames cover up an entire doomfire that's about to eat your face.

Xenogears. Fighting Dominia, and then Ramsus + Miang right afterwards submerged... That part of the game was pretty ridiculous, and took me a long time to get past.

Not to mention Opiomorph.
