Hey folks, sometime recently, our FTP server stopped working. It was bound to happen eventually, but I suspect our hosting provider simply turned us off.

I got the giant’s bane last night. Awesome gun. Not nearly as excited as I was about getting the slightly inferior envoy, but it’s best in slot before hard modes. I’ve started collecting good one-handers if nobody else wants them in case I ever get a pair good enough to beat my current stat-stick, which [...]

We interrupt our regular scheduled hunter programming to bring you a video of an undead something-or-other using a heretofore unknown item to destroy a beautiful little toy train set.
