I'm Like A Bad Penny, I Always Turn Up

Our summer is really arriving late this year. It's fall, and the weather hasn't been this hot all summer, save a few days here and there. I'm not complaining; it's just kind of weird.

Vindictus is back with an open beta, so everybody can join as long as you are in North America, so I had to check that out. The initial impressions are quite positive. The new areas are different, with more missions, a raised level cap, and increased customization options. Good stuff!
