Could I ask why Flipz is so concerned about receiving email from Steam?

"Rudolph the red-noses reindeer had a very shiny nose. It proved to be a tactical disadvantage, as it allowed me to punch him in the dark!"

I haven't really gotten into a game since LU.. Is this one that might change my mind??

Because my family lives in the middle ages and thinks that using Steam's gaming in general's social features is a Bad Thing.  And because they have access to the email account the Steam account is tied to.

Oh wow I have 296 hours of DD played. Time to give people advice.

I suggest you do not attempt Nightmare Difficulty until you are certain you know what you are doing, you are Level 74 and above and have the best gear you can get at Level 74 or above. But since you all just started, gear doesn't matter much until it starts getting the 'Godly' prefix around Level 60. Around Level 74, dropped gear starts getting the 'Mythical' prefix, level 78 'Transcendent' prefix, level 83 'Supreme' prefix and level 90 'Ultimate' prefix. You want mythical gear or above for the Nightmare difficulty. The name is no joke. At least, not on the later levels. The DLC maps can be utterly insane with their difficulty and size.  And you will want to have multiple heroes. Earlier on you can get through by having only one hero, but as difficulty increases you will want more heroes for the wider variety of defences that are almost necessary. You will always want an Apprentice or a Squire for the actual towers, a Huntress for the traps, a Monk for the auras, and if available to you, the DLC hero 'Series EV' for the beams, most notably, the 'Tower Buff Beam', in addition to the DLC hero 'The Summoner', for the summoned minions who are not affected by the 'Defense Units', but instead the entirely separate 'Minion Units', giving quite a boost to defenses.

In addition to all that, always take into account the 'Defense Units' of this map. This effectively makes it so you cannot place defences all over the map. Each defence takes up a certain number of defence units, for example a magic barrier takes up one defence unit while a magic missile tower takes up  three defence units. So this means you have to be careful when placing defences. As stated earlier, minions are affected by Minion Units, instead of  defence units, so if you need extra defence, do not be afraid to use the minions of the summoner.

Oh, wow, Summoner gets Minion Units in addition to standard Defense Units??  He's definitely my next Hero to build, then, after I've gotten through Area 1 with my Apprentice (although I'm considering swapping out to Adept, thoughts?).

Also, does stuff from local play carry over to online play, or should I ALWAYS be playing online?

Possibly.  I can tell you right now it's better to play with friends you know than to wander out into the community at large right away--but that may just be me talking.


In other news, I just found out today that I got the first "B" of my life this semester.

MsRR: You know what game you'd like?

Scribblenauts Unlimited. The idea is that you can create any object (provided that it's not trademarked or inappropriate for children) to solve puzzles and whatnot. It also has Steam Workshop features, so you can download additional objects for your game created by other players (Including some that are trademarked or not child appropriate) and create your own.

Granted it is singleplayer-only.

You'd also totally like Minecraft.

Got Scribblenauts Unlimited for 3DS yesterday. It's very fun, and I have yet to find a word it doesn't know.
(I'm going to try to make a hippopotomonstrosesquippedali ophobic scientist later, see if it can do that...)

Scribblenauts Unlimited is on Mak's wish list, but I just noticed that today and it was on sale a few days ago... =((

Flipz, surely at the age of 21 you're old enough to get your own email account?

I have a gmail of my own, but I'm not network admin, so I couldn't sneakily install Steam and link it to my own account instead of my father's.  (Plus I'm still really dependent on them, I can't seem to get a job and college hasn't exactly helped me in that regard. )

It's not that they don't care or anything, it's just that their philosophical perspective on life is FAR different from mine.  (There's other problems, too, of course, but I'd rather not get into them publicly, and besides, what family DOESN'T have serious problems?)

But I'm probably being overly glum.  The holidays have been tough on me ever since my mom's heart attack a few years back, the whole extended family started fighting around that time, and the immediate family started decaying around that time.  In other words, when we moved back to the States and when I graduated high school.

Need router recommendations.
What I need: Wireless-N, good performance, dual-band, reliable.
What I'd also like: Draft Wireless AC, extremely good performance, support for most if not all modern router features, IPv6 support.

Yes, I can't install it on my own, I had to ask my father to install it, which means he set the email to the email address he can see.
