... yeah. Reaching the point I half think Skill Focus: Use Magic may be the best feat in the game. Third level gnome illusionist (illusions are up to CR10 now~), second level of the dungeon. +1 wand of beast summoning. Getting stuff like elite behirs (CR 15 creatures*.) out of it.** Three rolls, taking the best off, every time I fire a wand. Don't have any offensive stuff yet barring cleansing light (so much for graveyards), but when that comes... last critter rolling like this was getting 10d10 shots out of shard wands. Beautiful stuff. Conceptually you've got a limited supply of them -- you can run out of charges -- but in practice... in practice, you don't run out. Wands are great.

*E: To put this in perspective, if it weren't for the time limit an elite behir could probably solo the entire end-game goblin camp. Even with protection from <foo> getting in the way, since it has a damaging breath attack.
**... which, looking at the description of the wand, means the too-high-CR-goes-hostile thing isn't working. Thank zeus. If it was, summoning wands would be completely unusable.

I friggin learned to read from vidya. Link to the Past and Super Mario RPG helped most, I'd think.

More or less this, though it started with... SMB3, I think. Had to read those letters, man. That and the sonic comic books. I want to say the early one with Robotnik building a sports stadium was the first thing I read on my own front to back. 'bout a year later I was neck deep in the early star wars EU stuff >_>

World of warcraft taught me to type.

Infantry, for me. I'd had (plenty) of typing class stuff earlier, but that was what really crystallized it. It also taught me most of what I know of general writing. And spelling. Don't ask how, I'm not a hundred percent sure.

...That was probably the last possible reply to that I would have expected.

Dunno why. Pretty sure smacking crabs with a wand is part of a gynecologist's normal operating procedures.

@ mastah: Have they put you on the whole lower-back strengthening exercise stuff yet? If not, you might want to look into it and start up yourself. It's absolute agony starting out, but after a bit things get better, and if you can keep it up (I kinda' didn't, which is why I've felt like spikes were driving into my spine for the last week or so), stay that way.

Bloody hell steel, now I have a horrible compulsion to sew random names onto my clothing, probably in odd places. "Oh, <name>? I have no idea who they are, but I have their pants and I'm guessing they're at least a few miles from here. Not worried.

The jacket, though... I know who that came from. Stole it from a drunk hobo in Orleans. Never did catch their name, though."

... that's no reason to dislike the dog

Pity it, maybe. Treat it cautiously, definitely. But any dislike should be heaped on its owner, not the dog. Don't blame the victim for being abused, y'know?

It took me a minute to notice what's wrong.

Now, who the hell ever makes a graph upside-down?

Politicians, Fox news, and people who are incredibly insistant that their way is the right way and you're stupid.

Though I think in that case, it's mostly so they can pull the "blood dripping from the walls" thing. Which is kinda' neat, artistically, but terrible, statistically.

I live in Florida. 
This is why I don't go outside.  I get enough crazy seeping in through the windows and during my trips to the corner store thanks.

This person gets it.

Also it is too hot. Which is probably half the reason it's as crazy as it is. The other half is a mix of low income and drugs.
