Re: 10,000 hours?

If you have actually logged anything like 10,000 hours in this game you are old and broken. If you wanna be a god in this game 15 minutes of pell work a day and two reasonably intense practices a week where you log a solid hour of fighting will do it. Do that and find the big fish and try to land th...

Re: CotT Video now up

I wonder if there is a setting on Youtube that allows you to view the wide format. On both my wide screen monitor and television there is no distortion (fat packing).
