I Don't Mean To Double-Dip In Your Crazy Sauce
by Rainier on April 16, 2012 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD
We had a nice and relaxing weekend with plenty of movies ("Cabin In The Woods" and "In Time") and made a dent in the DVR (2 Broke Girls, Bones, Hawaii Five-0, House, NCIS).
After a little hiatus, I'm finally updating The Old Republic now that Bioware has added (at long last) guild banks, a feature we've been wanting since launch.
Last time I played Firefall, it was a bit boring. Nothing has really changed since the closed beta, so it's hard to keep interested when all you can do is grind the same PvE and PvP content. There are quite a few bugs still remaining, but hopefully those will be squashed soon to smooth out the game experience.
Hope you all had a good tax day!
