At some point, you have to start wondering how delusional Mitt Romney is. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:30 14
- the people around him are pretty delusional as well. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 07:47
- as delusional as only a filthy rich elitest can be -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:45 12
  - agreed. That spycam footage was enlightening both for him and for his audience. - Mel Profit Jan 14, 07:52 11
    - yup and yup. I don't want someone who thinks so poorly of me to run the country and is too stupid to hid his prejudices - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:54 10
      - he's going to fix your perception of him by running on an Anti-Poverty platform. He's gambling again that you're as stupid as he knows you are. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:00 9
        
        good lord. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 08:04

Elizabeth Gallagher is back from her world tour with a virtual stranger, had a great time, and happy to see her boyfriend. -- (link) - Andie Jan 14, 07:30 2
- "she has the look of someone who has been well and thoroughly boned" -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 07:33
- I really love seeing awesome stories that are only truly possible due to the internet. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:32
so...if your ex was really an elite killer for hire...would you really want to piss her off by telling the world this news? -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 07:26 2
- Hell. No. and this was thoroughly covered in My Super Ex Girlfriend with Uma Thurman - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:47 1
  - heh. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 08:26

- well at someone is following a usefull standard. -- nm - Truman Jan 14, 07:59
Shaun, we did the Nightfall first, then went back and did the weekly. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:20 38
- we need to run the new raid this week with david's hunter, as long - Truman Jan 14, 08:00 2
  - I have but I didn't have it turned up that time. - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 08:03 1
    - sure sure. thats what you say now. you were probably distracted by the tv in reality. - Truman Jan 14, 08:11
- On a side note, I had enough vanguard marks lying around to buy the LDR5001 from the vendor. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:29 17
  - I got Dragon's Breath from the Nightfall. - groiny Jan 14, 07:35 16
    - I feel like Icebreaker is some elaborate prank you guys are pulling on me. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:36 15
      - I keep hearing how it is the best gun in the game, and I am not happy about not having it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:37 14
        
        The gun itself is just ok, but the ammo regen is the bomb. This and Gjallarhorn have eluded me to this point. - Shaun Jan 14, 07:39 13
        
        yep the ammo regen is the kicker for sure. though on fire burn, or fire burn enemies it unleashes hell. - Jovian Jan 14, 07:41 12
        
        For sure. Black Hammer is awesome but relies on crits, which can be tricky even on mainly stationary bosses if they happen to flinch. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:42 11
        
        yea I have that thing fully upgraded and doesnt even come to close to being as good as Ice Breaker - Jovian Jan 14, 07:53 10
        
        I'll concur that VoG armour is mostly useless, but the VoG primaries are FAR from it. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:55 9
        
        At 300, I still prefer VoC to most 331 primaries. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 08:14 6
        
        whats a VoC? and why dont i have one? - Truman Jan 14, 08:16 4
        
        I am really pissed we could not complete it last weekend. - groiny Jan 14, 08:24 1
        
        Lame. Atheon is easy :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:26
        
        Vision of Confluence. It's a VoG drop. Solar, full auto scout rifle. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:17 1
        
        Atheon drops it specifically. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:23
        
        I need a VoC. Badly. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:15
        
        yep. Fatebringer was quite helpful on the Nightfall last night -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 08:10 1
        
        I just got mine Monday night (WHOO!) and without any upgrades, it was 3 shotting fully sheilded red bar Captains. Beast. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:12
- Cool. I had a nightfall fail because the dude at work I tried it with still seems to think you can be a cowboy. - Shaun Jan 14, 07:21 7
  - Remlik really enjoys Guardian Funerals. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:23 6
    - By the time we got to Sepiks he probably died like 8 times. Like 5 of those he needed to go back to orbit because he died in the middle of a firefight - Shaun Jan 14, 07:24 5
      - I was reading a dude on FB who had a horrible/hilarious glitch. - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:39 4
        
        the difference in playing with David and Truman, vs Remlik and KofSpades..... - groiny Jan 14, 07:42 1
        
        the non-nightfall could be done from outside that room though, the enemies didnt have all those extra buffs. - Truman Jan 14, 08:13
        
        Awesome. I actually unloaded a full 60 Thunderlord clip into him at first. I think it took out 25% of his health. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:40 1
        
        I still need the last 2 upgrades though, so it's slightly underpowered. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:40
- We should always try to do the Nightfall on Tuesday evening. It makes the rest of the week better. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:21 8
  - sorry missed grouping last night. was just finishing up with my Crota chest farming - Jovian Jan 14, 07:36 2
    - Yeah, I was running through the weekly. If you haven't done it, I still need two more. - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:36 1
      - i can be on to help. - Truman Jan 14, 08:01
  - for sure. I will try to get on a bit earlier next time. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:21 4
    - I'm actually glad you didn't. I got to catch up with my best friend from childhood. - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:35 3
      - was he playing with you guys? or was that a random? -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:37 2
        
        That was him, Horse70. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:38 1
        
        nice, that's cool. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:38
I've rated about 200 Trivia Crack questions today. 6 of them asked who won the college football championship. -- nm - Polar Baron Jan 14, 07:19
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a hot mess. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 07:18 1
- They also have no way to utilize Love in that offense. I said it when they made the deal, he won't be the guy he was in Minnesota. - Krusty Jan 14, 07:25

  - I'd have to see at least one magic show. Would love to see Penn and Teller -- nm - zork Jan 14, 07:55
  - Especially if you can get Meg involved in an orgy... -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 07:40 2
    - L3 - that was my "high point" of our trip ... followed by Pai Gow poker with Pippy -- nm - JenBro Jan 14, 07:46 1
      - ahem -- nm - Burger Bar Jan 14, 07:46

    - do you guys get to Chicago a lot? -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 07:37 1

        But you just couldn't break his sleeper hold on you.... - Will Hunting Jan 14, 08:13
    - but you'd be up for stabby strip club visits? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:29 10
      - as long as I'm merely a bystander who can laugh at the entire thing - you bet. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 14, 07:54 8
        
        watching a stipper fall off the pole is always more fun with an ST'er -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:55 7
        
        what about watching an ST'er fall off the pole with a stripper? -- nm - zork Jan 14, 07:59
