"Um, what exactly are you planning on doing with these two dudes tied up in the back of your RV?" Ratchet asked the creature.
"Well I know what you're gonna do with 'em Ratchet! Move 'em into my lair! snarf snarf." replied Red "and do it quickly! I don't have all day, I think that those korean ladies I ate at the nail salon are pushin' through if you know what I mean! snarf snarf."
Ratchet had been running errands for the beast all day with no appreciation from the leprechaun, it was in fact because of him that the creature had been released earlier that day. Ratchet was obsessed with perfectly book matched maple top guitars and after being told a thousand times that there will never be a "perfect" book match, he unwisely set into motion a series of events that led to the re-animation of the ginger menace.
"When are you gonna teach me how to do a re-top on this Rosewood ltd. Red? I think it's a great guitar but it could look better... if those dudes weren't so lazy at the PRS factory! I mean how hard can it be?!"
"Snarf snarf. I told you Ratchet! Yous gets what yous wants when I gets what I needs! snarf snarf" Red hissed.
While Ratchet dragged the bodies of Rango and Sergio out of the RV and into Red's lair, he thought to himself; "What am I doing? How did I let things get so bad? who the hell is gonna clean up this place, and why does this troll keep saying "snarf snarf" all the time? I mean he does kinda look like that weird dog/gnome creature from the "Thundercats" cartoon, but what the F#$k is wrong with this dude?"
Sergio awakened to find himself and Rango tied up in in the lair. Both men were bound to a middle seat from a 1989 Dodge Caravan that was repurposed as furniture in a space that looked like an episode of "Hoarders" had collided with the left over inventory of a thousand NAMM shows. There were piles of unfinished Schon guitars, stacks of Trans-trems, and general musical instrument parts hanging off of shelves like icicles from gutters. In the corner was a stack of old apple II C CRT monitors hooked up to a CCTV system that had live feeds from every TJ Maxx dressing room in the Las Vegas area, if Segio wasn't creeped out enough already, the dull sobbing from Rango would get him there.
"What is happening to us!?" Rango said, "Why are we wearing Snuggies? and what kind of psychopath braids his own hair into rope? Please God! Turn off the TV's!!!"
Sergio could not blame Rango for his temporary break-down, he had once rolled up into a fetal position and cried himself to sleep after going to Ikea one Christmas season, he knew the pain Rango was feeling, and after seeing the unidentified stains on his Snuggie, he could fight back the tears no more... The men cried, but it was a manly kind of crying. The kind of crying that men only do alone in the shower when nobody is looking, but there would be no steam to combat the puffiness of their eyes.
"I'm glad we didn't get facial's" Rango said, "It would've been a waste of money."

Evanston, IL (Sports Network) - Kain Colter threw a career-high three touchdown passes and also ran for a score, as the Northwestern Wildcats routed Illinois, 50-14, in the regular-season finale for both teams at Ryan Field.
The Wildcats (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten) are headed to the postseason for the fifth straight season and have now taken back the Land of Lincoln Trophy, which goes to the winner of this annual clash. Venric Mark had 18 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown, marking his eighth 100-yard rushing game of the year. His 2,048 all-purpose yards are the second-most in a single season in school history.
Donovonn Young carried 11 times for 74 yards and a touchdown for the Fighting Illini (2-10, 0-8), who closed out their season by losing nine in a row.
Illinois opened the game with an 11-play, 78-yard drive, capped by Young's 15- yard touchdown scamper.
Northwestern got on the board with a 44-yard field goal by Jeff Budzien midway through the opening frame. Illini return man Justin Green fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Northwestern's Cameron Dickerson recovered it at the Illinois 19. Two plays later, Colter scored from two yards out to give the Wildcats a 10-7 lead.
Colter made it a 17-7 game on the first play of the second quarter as he found Tony Jones for a nine-yard touchdown pass, which was set up by David Nwabuisi's interception in Illini territory.
Illinois cut the deficit to 17-14 following Reilly O'Toole's 12-yard touchdown scamper on the ensuing possession.
However, NU closed out the half with 10 straight points. Mark capped an 11- play, 79-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run at the 6:13 mark of the second quarter, and Budzien added a 36-yard field goal just before intermission to send the Wildcats into the locker room with a 27-14 cushion.
The Wildcats padded their lead with three third-quarter touchdowns. Colter found Tyris Jones for a 15-yard touchdown pass at the 10:20 mark of the third quarter, and he later connected with Paul Jorgensen for a 24-yard scoring strike midway through the frame. Mike Trumpy's three-yard touchdown run gave NU a 48-14 advantage with 2:09 to play in the third.
Max Chapman tackled Illinois running back Dami Ayoola in the end zone in the waning moments to account for the final margin.
The Wildcats made sure not to look past a struggling Illinois squad, as they held a 29-12 edge in first downs and out-gained the Fighting Illini, 450-242.

Kennedy refused to call anyone out at the post-fight press conference. Well, at least not yet:
"I'm not going to call anybody out right now. I'm going to wait until I get back to Twitter and Facebook. Then I'm going to fire relentlessly."
Tee-hee, ha-ha.
UFC President Dana White, meanwhile, is already promising Kennedy a "very important fight" for his next outing, though he didn't go so far as to reveal any potential names.
"Yeah, he will (fight a big name next). Tonight was a big win; either one of these guys who would have won tonight, it was a big win for them. So, yeah, his next fight will be a very important fight."

Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. As the leading company in the booming obstacle course industry, Tough Mudder has already challenged half a million inspiring participants worldwide and raised more than $3 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. But Tough Mudder is more than an event, it's a way of thinking. By running a Tough Mudder challenge, you'll unlock a true sense of accomplishment, have a great time, and discover a camaraderie with your fellow participants that's experienced all too rarely these days.
- Shoes – normal running shoes [Our recommendation: inov-8 – MudRoc 290 (Black/Grey) – Footwear]. Cleats won't help – in fact they'll be worse on your feet and are dangerous for the other participants.
- Clothes – lightweight stuff that dries quickly. Even if it's a cold day, heavy or thick clothing will just retain water and make you colder. You should also bring a change of clothes for after the event so you can enjoy the post party.
- Gloves – this one is more debatable. Some people swear by them, others prefer to go glove-less (faster drying). If you go with gloves, be sure to grab tough, thick ones to prevent burns from the ropes and splinters from the walls. Two good options are The Original Mud Gloves or the Under Armour Utility Glove

|Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet, Worldwide locations
|(35) 2012, (70) 2013
|10-12 miles
|Signature Obstacle
|Everest, a slicked half-pipe that participants have to scale.
|Hardest Obstacle
|That depends on you. If the last time you swam involved bubbles, then the water obstacles might do you in. If you have hallucinations of a terrible death in small spaces, well then some obstacles may leave you rocking in a corner sucking your thumb. Rest assured, we are always looking for new ways to root out your weaknesses and exploit.
|Nope. If plunging 15 feet into freezing cold water in Walk the Plank isn't up your alley or running through live wires in Electroshock Therapy isn't your idea of a good time, then that's up to you - especially if you can't swim or have a heart condition. (We don't, after all, get the same satisfaction when Mudders get hurt.) But not to fear, there are plenty of other ways for us to ruthlessly pound you into submission.
FACT #1 – Marathon running is boring.
And the only thing more boring than doing a marathon is watching a marathon. Road-running may give you a healthy set of lungs, but will leave you with as much upper body strength as Keira Knightley. At Tough Mudder, we want to test your all-around mettle, not just your ability to run in a straight line, on your own, for hours on end, getting bored out of your mind. Our obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test you in every way and are meant only for truly exceptional all-around people, not for people who have enough time and money to train their knees to run 26 miles.
FACT #2 – Mudders do not take themselves too seriously.
Triathlons, marathons, and other lame-ass mud runs are more stressful than fun. Not Tough Mudder. As hardcore as our courses are, we meet you at the finish line with a beer, a laugh, and a rockin' live band. It's pretty hard to take yourself seriously when you're covered in mud and have just finished an obstacle called 'Just The Tip', so please don't show up at a Tough Mudder without a sense of humor. Just check out the ridiculous team costumes in our event photos to get a feel for the spirit of Tough Mudder.
FACT #3 – You cannot complete a Tough Mudder course alone.
To get through mud, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of electricity you'll need teammates to pick you up when your spirits dip. To get over 12 foot walls and through underground mud tunnels, you'll need teammates to give you a boost and a push. Tough Mudders are team players who make sure no one gets left behind. To that end, all Mudders are expected to uphold our ideals and exhibit teamwork and camaraderie both on the course and off it. All participants are asked to join us in reciting the Tough Mudder pledge before starting each event.

As I already said, I had a great time playing the game and I do not regret buying it. I just wish I could play it the way I want. And the way I was, well, supposed to.

They are definintely having some problems and many, but not all, seem to be of a character inconsistent with Beta. They also seem somewhat different than typical launch problems.
I am really curious what is causing them problems. My guess is a combination of extremely rapacious hackers and changing some infrastructure over for release and really high volume.

You don't have to believe him (or me for that matter), but it's a pretty big issue right now. There's also a bunch of posts about it on reddit.
Sadly I am one of the people caught up in the mess. Basically what happened was they ran a banning script on all acounts. Accounts were flagged for various reasons. One of those being 'suspicious login attempts'. Meaning that, even if your account wasn't hacked, if a hacker got your email address and was trying to login to your account, you're account got banned / terminated until they can resolve the issue on a later date.
I don't think I need to explain the problems with such an approach. It's been almost 3days since I submitted my ticket, and no response from Anet yet (and yes I double checked to make sure I submitted it according to Anet's new guidelines for how they want them to be submitted).

Most of the things that are broken, or have been broken, fixed and sometimes broke again, were working during the last BWE and and during some of the stress tests. It's clear that most of these issues are load related. I know at least a couple AAA MMOs since WoW have limited sales for the first month, because of the issues that load creates. Arenanet should obviously have done the same here. It's not a subscription game, so no need to rush to maximize sales.
It's also clear that some of us were right in that the testing schedule the last two months before release made no real sense. There should have been a BWE a few weeks before launch that distributed enough free keys to actually provide the same load expected at launch. Then, maybe we could have ironed out these issues before launch.
We hear that the programmers are working overtime to fix the various issues. Well, that's good and fine, but I think a lot of these issues will only be fixed with some serious upgrades to their servers and additional infrastructure. The Trading Post issues, in particular, are probably not going to be solved via programming, (though the search filters seem extremely inefficient at helping people find what they are looking for, which seems like it would be putting further strain on the database). I think it's clearly time for them to contract with a firm that sets up and programs commerce applications for major banks and hign volume businesses and have them come in and sort out the database issues on the hardware and software side of things.
They probably should also set up a datacenter seperate from the game servers, in a different state, to handle the official forums and hire or contract programmers with experience handling very high volume message boards to program and run the technicals of the forums, so that they can get forums up, with out putting additional load on their in house programming staff.
I know they try to do everything in house, but I think it's time to spend a little of the capital they earned to bring in outside help to sort these issues out, where it makes sense to do so. Someone experienced in programming and managing real life commodities markets would probably have a lot of insight on how to fix the Market Place issues and the same for the forums. Once things are in order, they can go back to doing things in house, with a better understanding of what expertise the company may require and what services are best handled by outside contractors.
Bugs with in the game proper are pretty rare, below my normal expectations for such a massive game. It's the infrastructure issues that have me a little worried.

I don't disagree with anything the OP said, partly because I haven't played enough to know anything about the problems you are talking about at higher levels.
One thing came to mind though. I remember hearing that higher levels can go back to any other quest hubs in the game and play them within that level range because the game reduces your skills to that area's level bracket instead of letting you faceroll all content at level 80. Have you tried that, just to enjoy in the short term till things get better?
The devs definitely need to fix these things though. From the sound of it, they are doing their best to fix things as quickly as they can.

At least you can play OP.
My brother in law has dynamic IP, and on friday after a hard week of work he throught he had earned some Guild Wars 2 time, launched the game and got locked out by the new "authenticating" feature. He went to check his email - nothing. He tried again and again, nothing, no mail, no authentication, no play.
He tried to contact the customer service, and it's not avaialable. Tried to check the Guild Wars forums, but they're also taken down, and today he's off to work at 6 am for another work week and he hasn't been able to play the game he paid 55€ for because of a fail feature to protect his account that he did not ask for. To protect his account from himself, apparently.
Objectively speaking, this is easily the worst game launch in the history of mmo's. At least as far as I've played, and that includes Conan and other aberrations that at least allowed you to log in and play the game you had paid for.

If it didn't happened to you... it doesn't matter, the issues are real.
If you actually readed what i quoted, elocky was basically saying "shut up, stop crying, play the game and don't say anything bad about it", even when he admits a few "roadbumps", TLDR, "don't say bad things about my shiny precious" = Honeymoon in full force.
At least im not checking the post history of other users, unlike you, i could care less, and by the looks of it, im not the one who doesn't have anything to do.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft' might win, by fearing to attempt
I absolutely love this game. I am having more fun exploring this world than I have in any mmorpg launched since 2001.
With that said, it has some pretty big issues that are only getting bigger the longer they go unresolved.
I truly hope ANet can get it together soon because aside from those outstanding issues, it's an otherwise fantastic game imo.

No one can do anything good these days. Everyone has an issue with something even if that something is well received and popular. It's almost like it's a FAD to hate on anything. I'm just pointing this out. I love the game, it has a few issues, but nothing worse than a few other great games had at launch. Honeymoon my ass. I didn't feel this way with SWTOR, nor Rift nor TSW, but I did feel it back when WoW launched. Same with SWG and FFXI before that. Not like I'm a honeymoon gamer only. But since you like to assume you know everything about everyone, this whole rant probably lost you at the first sentence. Cheers. :D

I actually said the game had problems so no I wasn't saying the issues are nothing important, only that had you asked rather than stated they were broken and unplayable, you could have been told how to fix some of the issues you were experiencing. Also it wasn't something random, we had the same issue in AC and figured it out as a group and have since then told others how to get around the issue untill it is corrected. Feel free to keep responding with sarcasm though because it makes your points come across so much better. Also half or your problems mentioned were repaired before I typed the message. Nowhere did I state that this was ok, but it must have really been bothering you to write such a hate free summary about it.
I also never claimed you weren't enjoying the game and regretted buying it, only that you make it sound worse than it is and for some reason you edited that part out when responding but it's there.

You're either in my corner, or you're with the trolls.
Totally agree with OP. It's and excellent game when it works. But it doesn't. It has had a terrible launch IMO. Login issues, Trading post down after a week of launch, events get bugged, dungeons unplayable the list goes on. It's just sad that it launched like this, it feels like it came a month or 2 too soon. It's even more sad when I get mass-flamed in-game for saying the above. It's almost if the blinded fanbois try to blame me for the issues since they "only had 1-2 bugs".
Stay realistic guys.

No offense but you liked the game enough to power through to 80th level for some reason expecting to experience the end game in a brand new game the first week it came out. You know what that reminds me of ? The movie Misery where the psychotic beeotch has crippled the author and is constantly threatening, whining to know the end of the book wanting to rush things.
Do you think the game company is going to stop everything for the probable less then 1% of the game population who rushed through content to complain about the lack of end game ?

What this guy said. I started playing a couple days before launch and didn't play any of the betas. I've played around with 3 characters, done a ton of WvW and crafting. My guild has nearly 100 people in it and nobody has had any serious issues, but then again none of us are level 80 yet. I think the problem with levelling so quickly is that anything can get pretty boring or you can get burned out if you spend 20 hours a day doing it. I hate to say what you advised us not to, but you should probably walk your dog or get some sunlight dude.
Having said that I agree with you to a certain extent. There are a number of issues that need to resolved sooner rather then later. Arena seem like a very dedicated team and I have confidence they will get it done. Not opening the forums was a brilliant strategic move in my opinion. WoW forums are full of some of the vilest angry people I've ever seen, and the longer GW2 resists becoming another Barrens chat the better.
Grats on 80 though. :-D

Well, with no monthly sub I'd say you've got your money's worth with 96 hours of play time. How can you complain about a game that gave you 96 hours of entertainment? Sure they're still working out the kinks but i dont think your going to find a better bang for your buck entertainment wise ever again. I think GW2 is a little unique in that you have less ground to stand on when it comes to complaints because they're not charging you anymore. They gave you an awesome gameplay experience, far more then most games, and will continue to free of charge. Sounds harsh but you got your $60 and then some, the rest is gravy, and oh what free delicious gravy it will be.
This is not to say that noone can complain about problems with the game, it's just that your post had the tone that you've somehow been screwed over by ANet which doesnt seem to be the case.

I really wanted to like this. The color is an absolutely gorgeous and rich pomegranate red, but Flair is by no means a sheer lipstick. It's most definitely opaque on my lips and trends towards extremely dry (which is consistent with my other NARS lipsticks). I don't wear it often because it requires exfoliation and a heavy slathering of Carmex beforehand, but when I do it looks amazing.
This is my perfect mlbb shade. It is not exactly a nude shade imo, it is too dark and dusky.
I keep this in my purse, because it is so easy to apply and is really comfortable on the lips. I often reach for this instead of a lipbalm if I'm out and want to look polished, but not too 'made-up'.
This is not a exciting shade, however I've already repurchase it once. I'd rather splurge on a lipstick that I use constantly, than a trend shade I only wear a couple of times.
A beautifully sheer formula infused with ingredients to improve the condition of the lips. Sheer, long lasting color pigments have been suspended in this tranlucent formula to provide a sophisticated shine.

Local filmmaker travels to Los Angeles to shoot short filmWritten by Kevin Moore | | email@example.com
Steven Boatman is a filmmaker from Toledo who is very passionate about movies and knows his way around a camera. The 25-year-old talent was able to turn a five-minute piece about a man's struggles to mow his lawn, starring himself, into an eye-catching selection at the Northwest Ohio Independent Film Festival and The Indie Gathering Film Festival in 2012. The film, "Mowing Through Misery," which can be viewed on YouTube, took third place for Best Drama – Micro Film at The Indie Gathering. It was after a showing of "Mowing Though Misery" that Russ Russo, an actor, director and screenwriter from Los Angeles, decided he wanted Boatman to be director of photography on his upcoming film, "Heat Wave."
"I was speaking at the Northwest Ohio Film Festival in Lima, Ohio, and giving a talk about things actors need to do to make a living while pursuing their craft," said Russo, an actor of fifteen years. "It was the end of the day, and there were some technical issues at the festival as they were trying to show Steven's film so a lot of people were leaving. I almost didn't see it, but I'm glad I stuck it out. Right away I saw Steven's eye was different from the rest. His shots were so innovative and challenging."
After talking with Boatman, Russo decided he had definitely found the right man for the job. To get his vision for "Mowing Through Misery" on screen, Boatman designed much of his own equipment. He designed an 8-foot overhead aluminum crane that he hired a welder to fabricate, built dolly tracks and even managed to create his own Steadicam.
"The film had a lot of dynamic shots for a film about a guy trying to start his lawn mower. I thought I was watching 'Die Hard' with lawnmowers," Russo said. "He's even operated a camera by remote control while acting in front of the camera!"
"My dad had a real interest in science-fiction, and I was drawn to stories in film, in novels and short stories. But I eventually wanted to tell my own stories," Boatman said. "I was home-schooled and my dad worked film into what I was learning. In ninth grade, I made a 'Matrix' fan film. I think that's when my dad realized my potential to make film."
Boatman, who is hearing impaired and uses a cochlear implant, credits not being able to hear the first four or five years of his life for his emphasis on the visual.
After graduating, Boatman started attending Bowling Green State University with a major in video communication technology (VCT). After completing the three courses in the VCT curriculum that would advance his filmmaking, Boatman decided to leave college and pursue a career in film.
"The last class project I did was a short film called 'Supernatural Stalker.' After that, there were no more narrative film assignments in the film curriculum so I decided to move on," he said.
Boatman's parents have been supportive of his decision to not finish his degree.
"I recognized early on with one of Steven's ninth grade shorts that he really enjoyed film, but I really saw his ability to make great shots with 'Mowing Through Misery,'" said Boatman's father, Glenn. "He can do a lot with a small budget so I try to help him financially as he starts his film career."
"Heat Wave," Russo's debut as writer and director, had some starts and stops over the last two years as the crew worked to get funding via Kickstarter. What was originally conceived of as a feature film became a short film due to funding, but, in Russo's view, "constraints push people to be more creative."
The 15-minute short follows three friends who discover a fourth friend died the night before and they think they might be responsible. Russo plays one of the three friends alongside Kiowa Gordon of the "Twilight" films and Sundance Channel's "The Red Road."
"It's about the consequences of the unknown," Russo said. "I wanted to modernize some of the really insightful television shows of the late 1950s and 1960s like 'The Twilight Zone' and 'The Outer Limits.' 'Heat Wave' is a drama thriller that's thought-provoking."
Shooting for "Heat Wave" occurred over two 12-hour days, June 9 and 10, in Los Angeles. As director of photography, it was Boatman's responsibility to find solutions to make sure the director's vision ends up on screen as well as make sure the camera doesn't pick up anything or anyone it's not supposed to, such as the reflection of the boom operator in a window. While technically only supposed to last 12 hours, the days of shooting for "Heat Wave" extended to 14 hours or more, with Boatman even skipping one lunch break to design a way to affix a peep hole from Home Depot to the camera since the film's location had no doors with peep holes.
"It was my first time in LA. It was a new experience for me. First thing I noticed was the traffic, but also a large format advertisement for 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' that took up the side of an entire building. We just don't have things like that here," Boatman said.
Now that filming has ended, Russo spent the last week of June in Toledo working with Boatman on editing. The crew anticipates to release "Heat Wave" in time for the Sundance Film Festival in January, followed by release in select theaters.
In the meantime, Boatman will continue to work on a Toledo-based supernatural-drama webseries titled "Huntsmen," which he has been shooting with local director Gerald Hill, as well as filming weddings and music videos locally. Russo will also be starring in two feature length films, "The Projectionist," about a soldier returning from the Iraq War with PTSD, and "Shreveport," a thriller written and directed by Ryan Phillippe.
