Gamestop gives you $ ( and saves $ as well)

Yea, for a limited of time, this will be the best chance to sell your use games for 50% bonus.. That's a big deal there but if you willing to part w/ a game say, Mass Effect 2, then you could get $52 for it ( $56 if you have an Edge Card ) and buy it back at a later date.. I don't see many ppl doing it tho for very good reason (the game is that good - said the dude who don't have it yet =( )...

For those who yet to pre-order God of War 3 or/and FF XIII, there's a trade offer. This depends if you have the game they want ( check their list HERE for it ) you get those games for $20. This works well for me cause I have LoZ: TP and Mario Party 8 I'm willing to part ways w/ (I'm not that crazy, the games mysteriously don't work anymore and there's no scratches on them). So I will be cashing in on that Yaaaaaaa...

Anyways 50% bonus deal ends on 3/14 and the trade offer ends on 3/16 so get cracking... Also, there's no telling if that Mass Effect price will stand so... yea...

Torchlight Mods (or Addons)

Torchlight is a very fun game but you can expand the fun of the game w/ mods ranging from new classes, quest, epic dungeons, game tweaks and more.

But before we get to that, you MUST Download TorchLeech.. It's like WoWMatrix for those who Play WoW but for those who don't, you can you can download and install Torchlight addons directly from within TorchLeech, without visiting a single website or unzipping a single file. Without it, you could face big problems ranging from mods conflict to not working. So w/ that, let's start shale we...

NPC / ITEM / GUI

Enchant Mod (never wipe) - Does what It said.. You don't want your high lvl items getting disenchantment do you?? Good...

Potion Expansion - You tend to get a bunch of potions mid game and can fill up a backpack quickly so why not let it stack potions (and warp/identify scrolls) to 200 instead of 20..

Gold Sharing Service - Since Money don't transfer from one character to another, this AddOn helps w/ that by making it transfer via Share Storage.

Merchant Pack - Adds new merchants in the town selling rings/necklace, range weapon, magic scrolls, fish, and potions. A very useful Mod.

Brighter Map - Basically Bright up the Mini and Dungeon Map.

Items Always Identified -  It can get annoying using your identify scrolls on lots of stuff you don't need so this AddOn lets you see all items stats and stuff and it also banishes identify scrolls from droping. Tho if you want this to do what it does except for RARE items, then Always Identified Except Unique is what you want but It's still in testing.

Gem Icon - It's annoying that the gems are very small as it is but then you can't stack them and see what rank they are. Well this mod does 2 out of the 3. WTB gems stacking.

Ferret Pet (by Runic) - If you got the store bough version then you got this pet already, if you didn't, then here's the mod.. Isn't He cool, w/ his goggles and all.. WORD OF WARNING. This doesn't play well w/ class mods (not sure about the store bough version tho). But read the forum to get around it.

QUEST / MAPS/ And  Swordz??

If you want to become badder, have more quest, or/and just be challenge then these are the mods you want.

Better Random Quest Fame/XP/Gold and Better Random Quest Rewards- Adds better Fame, Experience, Gold, and Weapon/Armor/Jewelry rewards for random quests. I risking my life, you better give me some epic loot!

"Tier 3" Ancient Items - As it stands, their 2 tiers, Normal and Epic. Adding a Third tier items is a big help since you leveling to 100 and Epic max at 50. It's Basically Higher lvl items w/o enchanting that lvl 40 sword till you're broke or chance of disenchanting (see Enchant Mod (never wipe))

Heron's Sword Pack - You need Swordz, you got swordz straight out of WoW all w/ it's own stats. (I'm Still waiting for the Thunderfury one Heron!!! Make it happen!! GDI!)

Starch the Monster Hunter 2: Leviathan! - Now that you got your Epic swordz, Gun ( or magic I guess...), what better way to hunt for monsters, get 4 fragments that leads to a showdown w/ Leviathan in a NEW unexplored dungeon.

Epic Boss Maps - This is not your average dungeon map. You will be against the nastiest, most hardcore bosses (of that dungeon) ALL AT ONCE! Your screen will be fill w/ them within seconds of entering. You can be Bad Ass and get the full version or be a pansy (or those w/ weak computer) and get the light version (75-150 boss monsters instead of the normal 200-400) w/ less mobs on the screen and lag.You can lvl alot in this map but don't expect to breeze through. See a short playthrough of it HERE.

LVL & Skill Mod (Raise max lvl, fame & skills) - You Hit Lvl 100 but it doesn't have to end there. W/ this mod, you can lvl till 999, raise fame up to 200 and your skills to 20. Basically giving new life to the game and speaking of new life.

CLASSES

You likely gonna get tired of playing those 3 classes so what if you can play as a WoW Shaman among others.. Well.......

WoW Shaman - Class base on the popular online game. You know you want to use Chain Lighting.

Airbender & Spirit Dancer - This is an all around class mod and fun to play as... (EDIT) He also have made a Spirit Dancer Class that looks fun.. Check it out on the link.

Demonologist (BETA 1.04) - This Class looks interesting and adding more abilities then the normal class, this one is one to watch for.

That's all the mods I recommend for now BUT I will be updating this when New / Better mods come or/and Old Mods don't work anymore... Remember to use TorchLeech as it makes Adding, Updating and Deleting AddOns easy and you want to avoided addon conflicts (unless you do research). Till then pimps...

GAME ON!

Torchlight Review - It's Clobberin' Time

First of all, I NEVER played a Diablo game so this is kinda like new territory for me and I like it.


So Powerful, The Ground Makes Lighting (Ok... kinda corney)

The game takes plane in a town called Torchlight and no sooner you step into it, trouble is happening. You get thrown into a situation to cure your self and stop Alric evil deeds.


The overall story is meh but it's the overall gameplay that will keep you hook for hours on end. The Character range from Vanquisher (Hunter / Rogue), Alchemist (Mage / Summoner) or Destroyer (Warrior) are highly customizable in terms of ability and gameplay so if you want a Gun wielding Alchemist or Close-Range Vanquisher, you can do that. You also have a pet that can hold items and better yet, go to town to sell extra item / gear for needed cash. You can also change your pet to many different types of various strengths and weakness and can learn any 2 spell (of many) scrolls you buy or find.

But what about the environment... It's awesome, vivid colors, many environments ranging from mine shafts, dwarf fortress and more. You can see for yourself in the pics.

And Finally... Loot.. Loot.. Loot.. So Many Loot you might save for other classes till you kinda out lvl your weapon or/and armor. If you get unfortunate w/ loot you need, you can always enchant them but be warned, it's not 100% and your weapon/armor can be left w/ nothing but nothing like a mod can fix for you and I'll get into it at a later date..


Their is flaws like the enchantment failing but the two other is lack of more buttons and no extra mouse support. First, the Button Issue. I have a Pure Alchemist Summoner and keeping my pets up w/ buffs and myself up w/ spells and potions. I have tons of spells / abilities but the game gives you 10 hotbar space.when I have atlease 13 I need. They try to make up for it w/ binding the F1,2,3,4,ect buttons as a quick switch button but it's fail. Needless to say this cause problems for me and my survivability. Similar to the 1st problem is no support for mouses more then 3 buttons. The extra mouse buttons could help but guess that forgot or something.
    
Anyways, It's a very fun and addicting game and I recommend you buy it on Steam or on Runic Games site or even DL the demo from steam or their site. I'll be doing a Special MOD edition of this soon but you can go Right HERE if you want to see New and good mods.

4/5 Shields


PS: Wanted to do a Video Review but things happened and stuff misplaced so =(..

Rant - Microsoft / Nintendo Points Gotz 2 Go. (UPDATE)

 (Microsoft has lower the cost of their pointz but still a fucken joke)

This is the first of probably many rants I will do so w/ that said, here goes..

This will mainly be focused on Microsoft but w/ Nintendo mention.

These so called Points as replacements for $ got to go. Say I want to buy a XBL Game or DLC for an Xbox Game that cost 15$ but 1200 MS points. However, you're only able to pay the given amount for the points which are....
  • $6.25 for 500 Microsoft Points      (as of now $4.99 for 400 Microsoft Points)
  • $12.50 for 1000 Microsoft Points  (now $9.99 for 800 Microsoft Points
  • $25 for 2000 Microsoft Points       (now $19.99 for 1600 Microsoft Points)
  • $62.50 for 5000 Microsoft Points  (now $49.99 for 4000 Microsoft Points)
That's It.. No $1, $5, $10, $15 options given which means I have to dish out $18.75 for something I wanted $15 (or 1200 MS points) for. If you think having spare MS Points and losing $3.75 is not a problem, you clearly missing the point. I and many ppl want to save money and just no need to pay extra cash when we don't need to. Many ppl don't know (or don't care to know) that 80 MS Points equals $1 and their actually exists games (and avatar gear if you count that crap) that are 1$ but spending more to get it. Their is one redeeming factor, They list the actual price on their Games On Demand so hopefully we'll see a change for the better.

Nintendo have this problem as well w/ it's Wii Points. I have 700 points but need 100 for the game I would like to purchase but theirs no $1 (or 100 Wii Points) options in the Wii Shopping Channel but instead this...
  • $10.00 for 1000 Wii Points
  • $20.00 for 2000 Wii Points
  • $30.00 for 3000 Wii Points
  • $50.00 for 5000 Wii Points
I Don't want to play $10 just to buy one game. So the point is, just ditch these points crap and Just put the damn price of the DL game/item and just do Real World Price like Playstation Network does... Yea... They didn't BS w/ ppl like the others did and that's cool points for them.

There's Info and stuff about it not meant to mislead ppl Right HERE!!
The so call more reasonable Xbox pts price info Right Here!!
