    I love grinding and busiwork... I just don't feel it's worth paying for since I can do it in any RPG I pick up. u_u; I'd play it fot the fun of playing with friends but I always have different fun factors with MMOs so one of us is always bored. (ie. in WoW I hated doing dungeons and instances which is like the whole point of the game... I always wanted to do collectathon grinding quests instead. XD)

    I actually made a decision for myself that I would build a new mid-range gaming PC today. I need to do some research on parts.

    Any luck with the parts research, Muyi?

    I don't think I'll be doing too much upgrading this year. I got another 8GB of RAM for free so now I'm running 16GB - don't need that much, but hey, it was free! Other than that, I'd like to get an SSD and maybe a Blu-Ray drive, but that's about all for this year.

    After I graduate from school in two weeks, I'll be planning to build my own rig with the help of Geoff! Gonna start producing some video content and get a YouTube Let's Play channel going if I can work out all the details.

    Update! I upgraded my video card a week or two ago and now am sporting a GTX 970 after getting a decent deal on it (and it's one of the better models of 970 too). Huuuuuge upgrade over my 560 Ti, and I get a free copy of The Witcher 3 as well when it comes out. Overclocked it a bit and it runs pretty much on par with or just slightly under a 980 and still cool as a cucumber.

    Thought I was good until I saw the ultra specs for Arkham Knight and then imagine what the future holds. My 970 am cry.

    Also, Klippy needs to share his build with us since he did indeed build a PC and I did indeed help him!
