Eh ... ATI cards have been pretty shitty recently. Or, at very least, nVidia's 400 line (sans the godawful 465) has been stellar. And ATI's HD line typically has a rougher wattage requirement. Also, $210 for a 450 is fucking ridiculous. Also, I'm not trying to suggest "OH GOD BEASTS" cards...

$300 and nice in the same sentence hurts my brain a little. ... Regardless, I'd suggest going to avsforum.com and perusing the suggestions there. Edit: Also, I totally would've gotten an GeForce 460; yes, it's like twice the price of the HD4670 but it's also probably the best mid-range card on the m...

It frustrates my level grind circuit since I kill [hide]Alraune on the way to Drake[/hide] and there's one in the way you can't dodge. Sometimes I auto-battle it down before the second turn ends, sometimes Amputate's ID triggers and I lose somebody and play the "whee, revive!" game so all ...

There's a few character based ones but it's small (~8?); they typically give you a "But so-and-so stopped you/informed you/reassured you/told you you're a dumbass/etc." message. The rest are presumably just slot or stat based.

Eh, I found [hide]Drake[/hide] to be pretty easy. Annoying since [hide]Ice Block[/hide] is a bitch and my Monk goes before him so I can't just Ad Nihilo every turn to rip it off. Do note that all you really need is some way of dealing with the Elemental Damage; you can 2x Crush/Slice/Pierce Amulet 1...

Which is funny given that not too long ago, most preferred to avoid the class, yet it's becoming a bit more popular now as a viable class. To be fair, Shogun was a heavily pimped out class (I did more than my fair share of that) that does amazing things from a damage perspective. I mean, ~2000-4000...

I minded the slowdown from hell.

Turns out Uoroboros Guard disrupts [hide]Wyrm's[/hide] attack pattern if you block Searing with it. I learned this the hard way. After using it, he started to spam Howling. It wasn't pleasant =( Really? Spamming Howling doesn't really seem to indicate busting his AI. I can give some trials with tha...

Been playing an iPod/Phone/Pad game, Game Dev Story, a lot recently. It may just be because I'm bored at work though. It's still fun and who cares it was $5.

Goddamn App Store, nickel and diming (well, $1-ing and $5-ing) me to death.
