Got my coffee with me and i noticed they opened up more servers, not sure if it's a good or bad thing...guess only time will tell huh?
 
Oh well at least toxicity dispersed so it's worthwhile to put this there -sips coffee-.
 
Cheers all!

Yeah i got looped too,then spent rest of the day browsing the horror they called forums yesterday...anyway....it's just a failed connection bug most likely, it will get sorted one way or another, until then...
 	
----
			
Morning.
 
Yesterday wasn't lucky for me. Although I managed to get into without any queues, I got looped inside character screen - enter world. Then servers died. In the evening I yet again managed to get into the game just to face similar loop. And one thing worries me. Character screen used to say 6/12 character slots unlocked, in the evening it was 6/6 and no "create new" available.
 
I just hope it's some bug. Well, will see in about 9 hrs when I'll be able to turn my game on.
 
/sips tea in the meantime.	
----
			Good morning. Over here on NA we were able to jump in and lag wasn't too bad but still a problem at times. Gradually got better as it got later but that was to be expected as people slowly went off to bed. About to get some sleep myself then it's off to work and back in the late afternoon for more Wildstar. Hopefully with the new server additions we'll see a massive improvement with queues, lag and other issues. Cheers!

Good Morning,
 
Still being sick at the moment...
 
But talking to many people ingame and recruiting them.
Lag is at the moment okay on Jabbit.

			Why is it Calm before the Storm? It's already cat5 out there. -_-

			^ well, Weekend is upon us -stares into the distance-.

			Very true. When people get home from work/school, it's going to be a firestorm out there.

			Pulls up a chair and sips on some tea. Think the kitties might have to work overtime to help keep everyone sane and calm at this time. Took a break of a few months and just hope for everyone's sake that things resolve themselves (guesses most of the developers are on coffee drips at this point).

A daily cup of tea.

			More than a few of the devs have been doing 15 hour shifts. I think one had been at work for 54 of the last 65 hours. Longest I have ever been awake working on a bug was 34 hours and it was absolute torture. I was waiting for the auditory hallucinations by the end.

Morning?! Its almost bedtime for me! Such is nightshift.
 
I'm looking forward to actually sitting down and doing something in game when I get home from work... I've only been able to login and do inventory house keeping so far.

Morning coffee always makes me laugh a little, mostly because this is my evening/night time.
 
Either way...definitely going to be curious how things go once the servers come back up with the additional support from the new ones here in a short bit.
 
That said, is anyone planning on rolling a character on them to help new people? Just something I thought of as there have been a lot of us doing that in the starter zones and this new server could be devoid of that...I may roll a character there to see if the help is needed but my time this weekend is a bit limited.

I have few low level characters but right now I'm feeling like fresh starter. Muscle memory still works but need to relearn all spells. Not to mention all talents been reset. So it'd be wise for me to make new character and learn the ropes once again instead of n00bing around on old characters.
 
If game decides how many slots available I have - yesterday it wasn't so sure and toggled from 6/12 to 6/6. I'm a closed beta pre-order owner so according to F2P FAQ it should be 12. Bug, must be.	
----
			
Ahhh, the forums are far more sane this morning. Phew. I too hope the extra servers are a good idea. At the very worst Carbine can just offer free transfers again if there is an issue. As long as they never allow free transfers between PvE and PvP it should be fine.
 
Very happy about today's forum feeling.  :D
 
Tea please, very strong, loads of milk, no sugar. Mmmmmmmmm

Morning!
 
My allergies are acting up, but my husband stayed home from work today, using a vacation day to spend with me :D
Whether we play WildStar or not is an entirely different story ;)
 
Anyways, I managed to do STL last night, did 1/3 of a KV but then we lagged and combat stuck and someone died so we couldn't progress. So I sat in Illium and am apparently a Chua magnet.
So this happened:
 
I love story telling, absolutely adore it and hope to have more opportunities on Jabbit Dominion in Roleplay. :)
 
Also speaking of roleplay, Niliana finally got her first customer for Free to Play!
A guildie was curious about the chest at the end of STL and grabbed this and gave it to me :D So now I wanna farm Omnibits and buy more keys and get more customers! Cause right now the Dominion guards are standing in line waiting to give Venus Rising some bounties. :P
 
Anyways, back to the game. I've guild leader'd so hard these past few days my brain literally hurts xD	
----
			
I hope it's display, but with 6/12 changing into 6/6 I lost "create" button as well. So I had no real possibility to create anything as there was no button to press. No big deal tho as I don't plan on having more characters - 6 covering all classes and factions is enough. But I blame all the fuss with servers - game may forgotten my status, hence the issue. I just hope that today's evening will be better.
 
And quick question, unrelated as I couldn't find straight answer:
Do dyes are account bound via holo-wardrobe or character specific?
 
Asking this because last time I used costumes they had to be equipped. As far as I get that new system you "upload" the image into the wardrobe on one character and every other on that server has access to it, right? Does it works the same for dyes?	
----
			Dyes are character specific.

I would say that soon enough someone would jump in saying how bad that is, but I already found a topic on that.
I can't be faster that internet outrage. I simply can't. :(	
----
			The secret is that the internet is always outraged, they just need a focusing point to build off of. Then it hits critical mass and falls like rain. 	
----
			Good morning, coffee people!Here's to hoping the new servers will remedy the lag, queues and whatnot. So far, so good. Logged on and been playing for a while without an itch. If things stay that way, I might be able to play WildStar all day, woohoo!That's basically the plan. Play WildStar as much as possible.More to do, more to do! Also, more to do!	
----
			
Good morning all, having my Green Mountain Breakfast Blend decaf, and reading the forums. 
 
I was able to get past log in yesterday but did not get past Harry the Hamster to even see my girls.  I'm glad they're adding a couple more realms so maybe I'll get some time in though it's the last beta weekend for GW2 and I am looking forward to trying out the druid.  My ranger will spec as druid so I can heal my guild's dungeon runs.  I'm a guild leader there.  The good thing about GW2 is that my guildies follow me to games, so my LT plays Wildstar with me and two of my others will probably come along too once they find out that they can actually coexist in two games.
 
I'll probably try to get in tomorrow morning to level my engineer or make a Mordesh, I like the idea of something dark like a stalker which really fits.  Hmmm...*lightbulb goes off in head*

Morning everyone! Ended up having a late night last night watching the football(american) game last night. Overtime and whatnot made it rather late for the early start I have every day. But that's what I get XD
 
I did decide on my new character. Gonna be a mechari warrior. Dont know if itnwill be male or female yet, but semi leading towards female since my medic is male, just for a lil difference.
 
Wanted to work on making the character last night since I found out wildstar works on my laptop but had other thinga to do. Heres to hoping I can play tonight.
 
Hope everyone has a good day :)

Coffee on the desk beside me, have a few minutes before students start to pile in, so enjoying the quiet sound of the rain.
 
Late last night, found my chua being deluged in repeated guild invites from the same guild [one "with taxes" enabled?], and was wondering if anyone could send [by in-game post, maybe, so as not to turn this into a recruitment thread] a good recommendation for a roleplay-focused guild for chua, suitable for a late-night casual player.  Said chua is a "comparative zoologist," with a very big gun.  That is to say, he collects corpses to mount on his [eventual] wall.

Morning all. Got my warrior runed out for DPS and tanking, pretty much because the lag has made other play unplayable. Also, I need omnibits and so I figured having a tank ready for dungeons would be the best way to get pops. I only runed his dps set with partial exceptionals, but I think he'll be good enough for GA if any pugs run this weekend (unlikely, I'm thinking), and his tank set has NO exceptionals, but probably good enough for dungeons.
 
As for my slinger, still irritated that I have pure runs in his 116 gear because I didn't know divine runes would go in those slots. But grinding out omnibits until I can extract those exceptionals (too valuable to destroy). Oh well. He's still putting out good dps (about what he was before F2P), so I feel like I'm in good shape.
 
Hoping we can raid tonight and at least get through convergence. We spent about an hour and a half on Tuesday fighting lag and having no one runed to get x-89 down, so we're starting on Kuralak tonight. but hopefully our rune situation will be better and we won't be fighting lag. Fingers are crossed :)  In the meantime, we'll be learning kuralak pillars, so that should be fun. :)
 
I'm really glad that Carbine is opening up another server- it's a good solution and what I was hoping they'd do. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have fixed the login problem, so here's hoping they come up with a fix for that.
 
Now that I've gotten most of my essential specs runed out and add ons figured out (still need a good resource bar for my slinger though QQ), I'm looking forward to actually PLAYING WS, and that is improving my disposition. Apparently a few guildies saw me post on the forums that I was "close to the edge of leaving" and go worried. But I'm not going anywhere. That was just how I felt a few days ago after watching my plat disappear on rune reroles. Sometimes you just gotta vent :)

Logged on this morning after finding out from people that the draken outfit comes from discoveries. 
 
Thought it would make a nice gift for the Draken in my life. 
 
 
Majestic creature isn't she? 
Anyway I ran all over the Draken starting area on my mechari looking to find these things before it got too crowded. Nada, must have a really low drop rate. Went to the AH to see if people had posted it there, and it was, but the chest piece alone was 55 plat. A little out of my gifting range at the moment. 
Oh well, I bet it probably drops in the Crimson Badlands anyway.

Morning everyone!
 
I actually managed to stream a bit yesterday. Entity was playing nicely for a while. Got a few levels on my fresh Dominion Esper. I wasn't sure if I'd like Dominion, as I played Exile until now... So far, I've found that the Chua constantly crack me up. Deradune has been pretty good so far. If the servers will allow me to, I plan to spend more time than I'll be proud of playing this weekend...
 
Have a nice day everyone!

Morning folks!For the last three days, app. 36 hours worth, I've been fawning over my new plot and building like mad. It's been a complete blast, housing got some mad love this patch. :D
 
I've made a lot of progress and am almost at 900 placed items. It's kinda staggering that I've been able to get as much scope as I have out of the same decor budget we had before F2P! So now most of the primary features are finished, with a lot of medium detail, and I'm scratching my head 'cause I've got 1600 more decor to place. :P  It's intense to think about and consequently getting access to new decor has been super important. It's just too hard to build a whole 2500 plot using the vendor and what I can craft as an architect.
 
So this morning I decided to try to run some adventures, as I hear the lockboxes you get at the end of veteran content give the guest/laborer decors. Getting a reliable queue pop hasn't worked so well— typical for mornings— but when I finally got into a run, the group vote disbanded because they were apparently looking for dungeons and not adventures... aaand that disband seems to have screwed me (or maybe just coincidence) cause I was booted and now can't get back into the game. :(I've had the character select loop before, but this time it's just refusing to cooperate. I've tried like 12 times to get back in, on various characters, tried reloading the game, all of it, but no luck at all. It's really quite poopy. I really hope I'm able to get back in soon and this isn't some dumb bug that forces me to wait for a server reset...
 
Anyhow, on that note, I guess I may not be running any adventures for awhile. :P    But I took some screenshots of my WIP plot on Uta last night, so here's some shares for those of you interested in what folks are up to with the new plots/decor:

Oh, I'm still being nice to the F2P people who have their heads on straight - but I don't feel any desire to be nice to people more than once before I turn on them. I'll answer questions, be polite, helpful and courteous to *anyone* who has shown at least a modicum of respect and patience.
 
But trolling the trolls in a thread I *know* will be locked and deleted as soon as Buster wakes up? Nah. That's not a flip-flop. That's just playing the same game the trolls are. If I end up being slapped with points or a ban, I won't complain, because I know I shouldn't engage them - but man, at this point, all patience with the Screaming Mini Freebots is gone, gone, gone.
----
			I must admit that I am a bit disappointed about Star-Comm Basin. The zone itself is great ; it has my three favourite factions and their associated music. However, I could do without all the group quests that I can't solo as an Esper. I know, it says -group- but Espers can solo most group quests minus those in The Defile and in Star-Comm Basin. I guess I'll just go back there at peak hour.Other than that, servers are more stable now and much less laggy. I do get kicked back to the character selection screen during transitions (mainly to and from Illium) but after bashing my head against the loading wall for a while, I manage to get back in. Overall, it is much more manageable than yesterday. Or the day before that and the day before that too.	
----
			
Thank god it's almost the weekend right. Got the same bug today where I can't load into the game and it kicks me back to character select.
 
Hoping things get ironed out soon.
 
Anyways I missed out on coffee this morning so I'm not sure which is worse.
 
The new servers are a great idea, I like even better that they will be merged back into one unit at some point.

Goodmorning!
 
I am pleased to see the announcement of more servers, but I have to say in the (very) small window I had to play last night, things were fine. Perhaps a Thursday at 9PM PDT isn't exactly primetime, but aside from a few login glitches, it was great.
 
Managed to snag a picture of one of my Draken (HELLO AVATAR~) looking very smug with himself, such a cutie.
 
Funny story about my love for the Settler Hat:
 
Back in the days of 'ye old internets' I played an MMO called Ragnarok Online, it was rather fun if a bit grindy. In said game, a long-time goal and ultimately achievement was acquiring a 'Boys Cap' which looks remarkably like the Settler hat; mind you in RO there was a world boss you needed to kill, and pray it dropped a particular item to craft the hat... nowhere near as enjoyable as running around dropping buff machines! Needless to say, upon acquiring said Settler hat, it had to make a show in my costume.
 
Anyways, I didn't get to play long- and the time I did was mostly spent relogging to change the graphic settings TO MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE; and then realising I had mods to update.
 
I did harvest some plants in my house, and noticed that either there was some lag with the plants exploding, or they started insta-regrowing like out in the world. It did appear that I had multiple drops... but it could have just been the same drops, appearing multiple times but only being acquired once (this seems more likely).
 
We shall see how tonight shapes up. Friday. Busy. Perhaps explosions?
 
Edited: Because double words what?

Well, as Tex said, we may need a topic. I managed to log in. It was great. Could move around for a few minutes, but nothing else worked because lag was too high. Couldn't reclaim login rewards, couldn't add costume pieces to my unlocks. But I could watch my Mordesh lady walk around some, so I guess there's that?
 
Shadowrun Hong Kong is great through. Started playing a dwarf rigger, not sure if that was really the best character choice, but I kinda didn't wanna play a mage this time around.

Or, how about we keep the complaining out of this thread and use one of the dozens of threads already dedicated to this instead? I get it, the game is barely playable. I'm frustrated by this too. But we really don't need people to bring the complaining in here as well, when there are already pages full of threads where that exact same thing is happening.
 
Apart from that, I did just manage to log in :P

I'm anticipating today should be a bit better because there's some more servers up.  Start a character on the new "megaservers" and you should have a fairly decent play experience...
 
Later tonight and tommorrow, on the other hand, is the first weekend after WildStar went F2P, and it will be as bad as it ever will be. 
 
There's a chance that the tweaks made this week will hold up to the anticipated load.  Here's hoping!

How many scoundrels do you guys think flocked the gates this week? Last weekend, someone in the channel was saying "hope Carbine is prepared for the millions in a a couple of days". Millions? I actually snickered at his optimism. Guess the joke's on me.
 
Is Buster awake yet?

Hopefully! Just think of the people who start in a few weeks, they probably will have a completely different experience!

It just hit me how cupcaking much they added ... I don't know If I'll have enough room for all the costumes that are going to be going on.....
 
On another note, I've been having memory ref errors since F2P (the kind that used to be easily fixed by forcing W* to run in dx9). But in spite of them, I managed to pop onto Entity for a few earlier... from Taiwan... with no que or lag (that I noticed at least). Hopefully everyone else's experience has been improving or will be shortly :3

Dominion for life!

			Late Bloomer, missed my coffee, so I had to get some other form of caffeine today.  :( Been ​​enjoying the times I've been on Nexus. I started this again the day after F2P came out, but I Beta tested it I believe a little bit in Closed and a bit more in Open. Been reading this forum post and found you all were friendly enough to say hi to. Hoping that this game gets even better than at the starter zones! oh and btw...what are the majority of you guys, Dominion? or mix of both factions?

Hey, that's awesome. I used to mod Nerf guns a few years ago. Never kept any of them and dang if I can find any pictures of the ones I did. (I'm a LARPer and my club did a whole year of Steampunk back in like ... 2010? 2009, maybe?)
 
Anyway, I used the Nerf Maverick as my base. They ended up something like this (this one is not my work!)
 
 
I did four of them, in an assortment of colors and level of modification. It was a lot of fun and really cool way to learn to take something a part and put it back together again in working order. HAHAAHA. As an artist, actually BUILDING things is usually beyond me, but the on-line tutorials were east to follow, and years of painting Warhammer minis and crafting table-top terrain came in very handy.

			Nice work, you both.  I also play around with "playing dress up" at cons and other events, though nothing directly WildStar related.  Search up the Jules Verne Phantastical Society.	
----
			Pretty nifty TexArcana!

Well, like I said, that's not my work (since hell if I can find any photos of them) ... but they were *very* similar.
 
The painting techniques (faux patina, rust and weathering) combined with taking an Xacto Knife and some coarse sand paper to it, was just so much fun. I mean, seriously, how often do you get the chance to rub sand paper all over a Nerf gun? HAHAHAHA

I took down the canyon walls from Antimony's plot... o_o
 
 
I mean I knew it was big, and it's probably just because I'd built it originally to feel super dense and enclosed, but... she looks so tiny! Dread/looking forward to reconstructing and expanding this... I took a spin around all the rep vendors in the hourish I had to play after Parent-Teacher night and stocked up on a bunch of favorite decor. Guess that made up for the very difficult conversations I had with some parents. xD
 
But today is Friday woo!

Man, I thought this was a thread necro and was trying to find where the old one ended, before realizing someone put it in dd/mm/yyyy format.  (More used to yyyy-mm-dd because that sorts in lists and mm/dd/yyyy because typical USA).
 
Once able to get on, had fun last night.  We plowed through GA with most people unruned.  This caused some hilarity as our warrior tank got pulped by Prototype Commander's Destruction Protocol.  I'd managed to get my critmit up so we just swapped targets and carried on.  Raid is managing class set runes by loot council as it doesn't make a lot of sense to bid on these individually, as well as this permits bulk collection of the Pure fragments (see post in Tradeskills on the sourcing of these, the number needed, and the sheer grind of it) and so we can distribute effectively a working set to people at a time.  I was fortunate to be on the early shortlist so happily 8/8 Unbreakable now.  DPS looked pretty great though even unruned so hopefully once people have a chance to read up and adapt we'll be like a hot knife in butter (sizzle, baby!)
 
More concerned about DPS set as fixing the tank set (priority) consumed almost all the exceptional tokens but I'll just have to make do as best as I can.  My DPS set always lagged and I suspect I can hang in there even if I'm not putting out numbers like our DPS main engies.
 
Think that's about it Wildstar-wise.  Looking forward to more dungeon farming tonight as we all need fragments for fusion rune creations.
 
Looking forward to more addon updates too.  I'd really like to see an update to the venerable Interruptor sometime.  It still works fine, but I'm sure someone with a little graphics wizardy about them could jazz it up nicely, or style it simplistic or something jazzy.  Plus that way I wouldn't have to force load it anymore.  There are a lot of abandoned addons that are still just superb.  I'd pick it up myself except dipping my toes into LUA made me realize I didn't have the patience for this as a hobby (after doing it for work much of the day -- not LUA but still fringey).  So, I'll just be patient and hope for kind software souls to venture in.
 
Think that's about it.  Enjoy Nexus, folks.

Since the transition, the "coffee in the middle of the night" crowd has taken over the thread making, so we have heathen dating conventions. :lol:

Ping - Pong
Ping - Pong
Ping - ... ?
... - Pong !
 
I'm having a great time playing ping-pong with game. I'm pinging "enter game" and game pongs me with "retreiving characters". It's 21:30 (9:30 pm for NA cos they're able to count to 12 only  :D ) and it looks like game is batter in ponging than me pinging.
 
At this rate I'll get banned for button abuse. It already shows signs, pixels under G in Enter Game are slightly brigther than the rest. 
 
Oh well, ... Ping...

Yeah but I thought Europeans were the enlightened ones who used yyyy-mm-dd? (the CORRECT way -- specifically due to sorting and number theory).

Good... *blearily looks at clock* afternoon coffee thread. 
 
Yesterday I got a kick out of your thread since, well, it's about the only beacon of sanity on the forums. 
 
I managed to get into Entity last night and while loot lag was a little annoying I managed to finally claim all the account goodies and sort out my equipment. 
 
In previous MMO content patches/launches/anything-that-creates-new-ppl-influx, I always felt rather bad for people who took to the forums saying "I took launch day off from work to play!!!" So, I swore I would never be so foolish.
 
No no, I took the friday after release off to give myself a cushy 3 day weekend. 
 
So far so good! I had a 10 minute wait time to get into Entity and things seem... good?
 
To be honest, the only thing stressing me out is that there are so many SHINY THINGS I want to get ._.
 
And I don't even have a max level....
 
Anyway, stay cool friends. *gun fingers*

 Yay, I won the pong  :o , Network Connection Error: Unable to Connect... Game has thrown the white towel. Yeah, servers offline... Whole EU :/
 
Somehow I'm not happy.

Hey guys, someone in channel was relaying a message he saw on [Twitter] (source could be incorrect), that if you are stuck in the character select loop, change the video settings to Ultra Low, restart, and try to log in.
 
I don't have nearly as many character looping issues as the baby ragers seem to have on the forums, but I'm Ultra Low 4 Lyfe, so there could be something to that.

			Offline lasted like 5 mins. Now realm is back online and I managed to get into the world. Seems fixed. But thanks for the tip, if next time issue appears I'll do as you say and see if it helps.

Good afternoon all, 
 
Decided to pop in to the coffee thread since things have slowed down at work. I wasn't able to play much last night, I'm afraid I just don't have the patience for this lag and other stuff, so I'll probably take a couple days hiatus. 
 
As to the forums, never before has there been so much activity and so little to read.

When and where is this heathen dating convention going to be? Sounds like a fun event to go to...

Good evening ladies and gents!
 
If there is one thing the issues created that I find highly amusing is the influx of people in the forums. Barring the tons of drama, the rather vocal people (both sides of the fence) I do find myself enjoying the activity quite a bit.
 
Anyway, just wanted to say that these Morning (afternoon, evening? Are we doing a post midnight one or will it count as another morning again? :P) Coffees are quite the place for all kinds of info.
 
Great job on the housing plots I saw flying through the pages of the thread. That Terra Caelum gets bonus points because I like the name too. And for the love of all that is holy and nice, give us more info for those top hats.
 
Top hats.

Man that's a long drive....This is just going to turn into an orgy isn't it?  :lol:

			WTB Mechari Esper...so I do not have to be vertically-challenged as a Chua! Don't get me wrong, I love love love the Chua but their shorter stature has proven problematic on more than one occasion now...Bright side? I have not been kicked to the login screen or stuck in a loop in a while now...

An orgy is always a good reason for a long drive. Takes away the tension of driving.

			Does anyone have that right-click bug.... where it's stuck on "Set Focus" & "Turn PVP on" - as if I'm right clicking on my own target frame everywhere on the screen?

Well, it could be worse... dd/yy/mm!
 
Managed to play for a while although the lag is still there in full force. Which causes some amusing animation bugs. Saw an Aurin on her Velocirex mount skating past me, mount not moving at all. :X

Does anyone actually use dd/yy/mm?
 
 
Are the queues any better now with new servers?

@Frozen_Storm: Understandable. I'm getting a little frustrated, too. So far the f2p launch wasn't really all that great. Compared to how the game was a few weeks ago it's just gotten laggier and the community has become a whole lot more toxic. Hopefully that'll iron itself out soon.

Coffee... need coffee... 
 
Good news, I managed to get contracts done, a world boss done, and two shiphands... 
Only with about 20+ boot to the character screen!
 
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
But despite the game really not wanting me to be in Crimson Badlands, I finished that contract too! (It took over 10 tries to load my character to finally end up in Badlands lol)
 
Fragment Zero was still pretty fun and hilarious even after having done it a gazillion times.
 
This weekend I'm probably gonna stay away from forums and game cause my temper is rising and that's never healthy.
 
I watched the Wildstar stream, that poor Chris guy... geesh!  Everyone (including me) in chat was hitting on him!  Talk about a way to ease the tension!  I'm a terrible person, lol.  Omeed was lighting up the mood, I liked that he wasn't so dire and grim.  
 
See you all on Monday's coffee :).  Hope everything comes back to normal by then.	
----
			I've really been looking forward to all of this.  I've been fantasizing about rebuilding the station on my plot and adding DJ Caretaker for the stations AutoDJ.  Oh such plans I have.  *looks around and sips his coffee*  Man it's been forever since I've been in a morning coffee thread.

After midnight (UK time) there are no queues and it is lag-free!
 
I personally managed to do half of my dailies in Crimson Badlands (which I started on Wednesday, man these are some long-ass dailies) and wipe about 5 times in Ultimate Protostar Games.
 
Then the get-kicked-and-loop-back-to-character-screen thingie came back and I am really tempted to go to bed, despite the fact that I just opened my energy drink.
 
Ladies and gents, it's coming along nicely :P
 
PS: I also managed to load the in-game shop today. They put some pretty shinies in there.
