Just my two pennies.

that is exactly what i use, the ting is awsome, although i wish i could find a ergonomic keyboard with lit keys cause i tend to be in a dark room at night

It's funny you mention that.  I had exactly the same issue and solved it with a little bendable USB LED light and a strip of duct tape!    I just mounted the light so that it hangs about 6 inches above the keyboard pointing down illuminating just the keys.  Works perfect and doesn't interfere with my vision as the light is pointed down.

So every year around this time I try to add a little something new to my setup.  Last year I did the nVidia 3D Vision setup, and then also tried out 2D Surround with 3 monitors.  I didn't care much for 2D Surround as it didn't add the level of immersion I was hoping for, and the 3D vision didn't work for me simply due to the fact the biggest monitor I could get was 27 inches.  So what's a boy to do?  I'd been toying with the idea of turing one of my spare upstairs bedrooms into a man-cave for a while and so a couple weeks ago I went to work!  I painted the entire room matte black with grey trim, ordered new carpet and a new couch...  and got a 120 inch movie screen and a Panasonic PT-AE8000U  projector.  I was a little concerned about input lag, but after doing some research found that it had a gaming mode that dropped the input lag in half.  Anyhow, it's still a work in progress but I got everything wired up this weekend and had some fun playing the Firefall beta on it.  Crazy fun with a Dolby 7.1 1000 watt stereo and 120" screen!   Sorry for the washed out image. Projectors don't look good with camera flash.  Anyone else using a projector setup for gaming? 

As someone pointed out this is the elder futhark alphabet with 24 characters. 

Interestingly, the alphabet actually has 33 characters ( and 33 was the code to get to the page).  However, the picture we get only has... 24?  What's missing?  A mystery....

I agree with the OP.  And I'll take engaging combat over engaging story any day.  I actually rolled every single class and cleared the starter island this weekend trying to decide what to play at release.  I'm usually not into melee but had a great time with the Warrior and Slayer combat!  And I hate playing healer but LOVED the Priest, at least up to level.  I'm going to take the Priest up to level 22 during the next CB and see how it feels.  

Tera > TOR

I would love to have a key if anyone has a spare!  :)

I think she was being sarcastic about being tasked with generating "loading screen helpful tips"...  Or maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning...

I'm just happy to have lots of varied options coming out this year after the TOR-fail.  Between TERA, TSW, GW2, Archeage, etc I'm hoping that one of them sticks.  Right now my money's on Archeage or TSW, but time will tell!  After TOR I've learned to keep my expectations LOW! lol!

Ugh. Fractions. Take them all away, imo.

Why? 2/3rds of all players love them.

Yeah, but they also divide players :)

Mmmmm... fractions.

They're aiming for the lowest common denominator of player type and ensuring that they enjoy the game in order to maximize subscriber numbers.  #profit

I liked the story.  Played my IA Sniper to 50 and had fun.  Felt like playing Dragon Age with a Star Wars story/skin. 

However, I have no desire to play another character up to 50 and am bored of PvP... and endgame PvE is meh.  Cancelled.  They should have just made Kotor3.   I may come back in a few months, but not likely with Tera, TSW, Archeage, Dominus, etc coming out this year!
