The one ability is probably the only one. And I think the person got lucky, if that move didn't miss he would of had to substitute for a while until they miss or something.
Doesn't take that many restarts. FYI, he was using Brightpowder.

Anyone else playing the Neverwinter beta?
I'm still angry that it got morphed from a singleplayer/coop game to an MMO, but I'm enjoying what I've played so far.
I heard about that awhile ago. How much is it like the NWN games?
The music is definitely inspired and the art style has some similarities, otherwise not really similar at all. It's definitely an MMO through and through. And because of that, early on I stopped judging it according the the NWN games. It's not them, whatever they called it. But as an MMO, especially a F2P MMO, there are a couple things about it that I really enjoy. The action combat feels really smooth, the Foundry system for community-made dungeons looks awesome, and I really like the 5v5 pvp battlegrounds. I'm only level 11, so I definitely need more time in the game to make proper assessments, but I've enjoyed the first 10 levels immensely.

I'd give my impressions on it, but alas, I'm a permanent member of the "No Beta Club" since the day I was born. I apply to betas of EVERYTHING and I never get chosen U_U
Number of betas I've applied and was never chosen: Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Starcraft 2, Heart of the Swarm, Diablo 3, SWTOR, GW2, TESO, NWN, Secret World, and more.
Never chosen for any of the above. Is it because of my high pitched voice?

Oh, yeah I didn't notice the brightpowder.
But some items and abilities in Gen 5 were just as OP. But playing against the computer isn't that hard either, unless you play on the Battle Subway/Tower. There the computer gets quite "lucky" a lot, from them making us flinch every turn to the OHKO moves landing every time.
But I'm still looking forward to X and Y. Been watching a few videos and there are rumours that they are introducing a new Light-type, mainly because of that deer legendary. And someone thinking that they might introduce a Sound-type as well, one guy say because at one point the X legendary looked liked a tuning fork. Talk about stretching it.

It's in open beta as of a couple days ago. They only have three servers up at the moment (mostly to stress test at this point, I imagine) so there are significant queue times to actually get in and play. But so far, once I've gotten in, it's been solid.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
In other news, I just beat ME2. Took me about 27.5 hours. Haven't done any of the DLC, and not sure I can. For some reason I can't connect to Xbox Live.
But I did do all the loyalty missions and enjoyed them. Upgraded my ship all the way so everyone survived the end mission. Even though I had a relationship with Liara in the first one I had to pick someone else to get the achievement in the second, so I chose Miranda.
I already have ME3 so I might start that tonight or tomorrow, this time picking a different class. Not sure which yet, but it might be a Tech based one, or maybe the tech+biotic one lol.
And has anyone played Farcry 3: Blood Dragon yet? I watched some vids and it looks quite fun. It has nothing to do with the other game and it only costs $15 to buy.

Bah, cheater.......
CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stayed loyal to my blue muffin, she's far more important than some silly achievement. Plus I got that achievement by playing with my time-control powers (I romanced Garrus, finished the romance to get the achievement, then quickloaded the game, to a point where I hadn't romanced him.) :P End result = Achievement earned. Liara not cheated on.
Plus you really REALLY chose poorly. If you HAD to romance someone else, you could had chosen Tali.
Tali >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Miranda
Everyone else.
Hell, I would had gladly chosen Tali, but sadly, she's only available to Male!Shep, and I just can't stand Mark Meer's voice. Specially when Fem!Shep is voiced by the GODDESS of voice acting: Jennifer Hale. So I played Fem!Shep and Tali was off limits.
Besides, you can continue the Liara romance in ME2 by getting the DLC "Lair of the Shadow Broker". I even think you could had gotten the paramour achievement that way.
tsk tsk tsk
/shakes head.

Nah, I looked it up. You only get Paramour from picking one of the 3 love interests in the game for each gender. Kelly, Samara, and Morinth didn't count.
I thought about romancing Tali, but Miranda was already done. I didn't pay attention to what the lock in option was so I was locked in without knowing. And I didn't feel like going back and figuring out when I wasn't locked in.
But I'll be romancing Liara for sure. The only other options are Miranda, because I had her in 2, Ashley Williams, I didn't like in the the first 2 games and I doubt I will in the third, and two more that don't give Paramour.

How is a Mass Effect discussion STILL going on?

Dammit I cannot find anybody to play COD zombies with on my own level. None of my friends have Xbox live, and the people I meet in random ques are either the uber pro people that can make round 40 in their sleep, or n00bs who don't know what the Pack-a-Punch is. I need to find a group with some nice middle ground.

New info on Pokemon X/Y
Seems really interesting. Letting you customize your in-game avatar, mainly just presets and hair color, nothing major. And in one of the cities you get to ride around on Pokemon.
And it all but confirmed that the region is going to based on Paris.

Supposed ‘X’ and ‘Y’ Insider Information
Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
Not sure how I feel about a Fairy-type.

Not sure how I feel about a Fairy-type.I guess it's some Normal types will move there? Why not just call it the "Fey" type? That's essentially what it SHOULD be.

Some might, but it mentioned that Mawile will be a Steel/Fairy type now. So I'm not really sure what a "fairy" will be.

Clefairy? The three lake spirits? I can think of plenty.
