Well, if it's a full season...it'll carry on through summer, so that's sweet I guess.

We also have the comic in the meantime. If the future arcs maintain the quality of the first four issues, we're set.

I can't believe how well received Coconut was. A score of ten with no down votes is alright isn't it?

What else were we supposed to talk about?

Well after like a month, I finally got a chance to play Psychonauts again. The part where Pokeylope tarts talking was pretty funny. I was also surprised that Loboto got blown away in a cutscene with no fight, I figured he'd be the final boss. Also, now I see why everyone says Meat Circus is near impossible. Oh god, an escort mission? And you were doing so well. At least you don't lose lives when Coach dies, I don't even know how many times I'd have to restart if it were like that. That one **** part took me almost an hour. And is the jump after the second sword thrower even possible to make? The only way I ever got past it is when I hit whatever trigger the game uses to decide your progress so the nets bounced me back up to the part past it. In all my attempts I never came even close to making that stupid jump.

Looks like a llama, a calf, and... I'm not really sure.
I'm going to guess it's an alpaca.

Wonder if they're keeping the same music? I have them all on playlists and make a habbit of re listening daily. They're just that good.

...It's winter now. It couldn't be further away...

Well you better hope that the campaign doesn't go on for too many levels or you will find yourself not doing anything as your spellcaster buddies rip the field apart.

Unless you're playing 4E.
I have a message from another time...

If a player is doing that, then the DM needs to craft a situation where those become detrimental. Stealth missions, Rescue Missions, requiring non-lethal force, hostage situations, diplomacy with people guarded against mind-altering spells, long endurance situations depriving the wizard of a chance to prepare a new set of spells and procure new materials. Being a living nuke isn't always beneficial.

3.5 doesn't work that way. Part of the reason the Tier 1s are so good is that they can contribute in any situation, often even better than a mundane class which specializes in that situation. Even Antimagic Fields and 'Magic Immune' monsters are little impediment to a prepared Wizard. On the one hand, it's fun because it means you're never sitting there unable to do anything. On the other hand, it can be challenging to balance, because under the standard rules, the only thing that can challenge a full caster is another full caster, or just straight out DM fiat.

No limit on spells known, genius intellect, the ability to predict the future and the ability to change spells prepared after eight hours rest mean that surprising wizard is very hard.

2-3 hours if you have a Ring of Sustenance, 5 hours with Group Trance. And you often don't even need to chance your spells. There are spells which are good in a wide variety of situations, and you can get some spontaneous casting ability too.

[up][up][up] I kinda hope not. When a piece of music is strongly associated with a certain character, it'll feel weird when it's used for someone else.

(Also, I think they're based on music from the show itself, which means they might be forced to discard it anyway?)

@Story: Yeah, there's a reason why the game is described as having a difficulty curve like a brick wall. I found it got easier, or at least more tolerable, once you got Lil' Oleander out of your way. Sure as heck wasn't easy, but at least it felt more fair.

4E went too far the other direction, and balanced everything by basically making all classes the same. The classes mostly play like To B now, it's just the fluff that differs.

Also, I think they're based on music from the show itself, which means they might be forced to discard it anyway?

Nope the music is original compositions, and well within the realm of fair use. There's a reason they left the music up.

Re: Wizards: while I haven't got a chance to play my Wizard yet, I picked first level spells that would have the widest range of utility(Shield, comprehend languages and grease). My figuring is if you're gonna be a support class, you'd better be prepared for anything.
