I finished reading what I missed in this thread due to being abroad.

Since everybody else was doing it at one point, and now my speed is better than at home:

I believe that puts me above most everybody. Except Alway.

Also, in that binge, I recall Kael popping in for a single post about being in some country on the way to some other country. I read it a while ago, so I don't really remember which countries. But I remember noting that his brief appearance went entirely not-commented on.

Also also, I've barely seen Janet in those many pages. What the heck?

Episode 2 of Breaking Bad. Good god this show is amazing.
(Very mild spoilers)

That got out of hand very, very fast.

[Tellemurius]

But is it worth eating?

Details!

Well it was very good and people flocked to me.

I named a Cataclysm Character MaximumZero. This apparently injected him with enough badass to punch a Tank to death.

Why act so surprised? It is a scientific fact that anything called Maximum Zero is 40% sexier than their average counterparts.

Don't worry Hans, you can still propose to him. Or solicit him, if you aren't old fashioned.

I hope you meant to say child, because if you're in a situation where you're naming your wife, something is dreadfully wrong.

I'm not old-fashioned, but I'm also not into dudes, and quite celibate to boot.

[kaijyuu]

That's okay. We can still play Mario Kart and watch cheesy movies without making out afterwards.

[Hanslanda]

I am cool with this. Actually, I watched the Notebook with a girl I really liked once, and she liked me.

Nothing happened. It was a total letdown.

I don't suppose your arm, and the Silmaril with it, is now in the belly of some canine abomination?

Spoiler: Seriously spoilery.  Say that ten times fast. (click to show/hide)

No.  Actually, I've yet to see Carcharoth in the game, but I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be in there.  I was hellaciously beastly by the time I decided to enter Morgoth's throne room (20th dungeon level/1000 feet).  I could kill pretty much anything.  I was killing ancient dragons and boss monsters with ease, and balrogs (of which there are only seven) were only mild trouble.  I was also carrying around a huge stock of buff potions.  So I went in there, buffed up, killed all his boss servants, and Morgoth himself showed up just as the rest of the monsters had scattered from broken morale after witnessing that spectacle.  Morgoth does crazy damage and armor, but a fairly low chance to hit and dodge.  He also has tons of hp and regenerates it really fast.  I could go toe to toe with him safely, but I think I would run out of supplies before killing him. 

So I landed a few really good blows on him, and knocked off his massive iron crown.  I managed to pry a Silmaril from it, but my weapon broke when trying to get #2 out of 3.  This was my only weapon with an armor penetration ability.  I had several others, but they were all for either defense or throwing.  I tried a few more times with different weapons before I realized that prying a Silmaril from the crown was a flat damage check against a very large difficulty.  I had only succeeded before because of that weapon's armor pen.  All the while, Morgoth was beating on me and his minions were re-grouping.  Time to GTFO.  I think one Silmaril is enough to win.

Here's where Morgoth is actually really dangerous.  Remember the duel between him and Fingolfin in The Silmarillion?  He swings a massive hammer that left huge pits in the ground.  Every so often, Morgoth will slam the ground with his hammer and cause an earthquake effect.  The area of effect gets randomly rearranged with rubble (that needs to be dug through with tools), walls (that can't be tunneled through), pits, and open space.  The layout for like ten spaces surrounding him just gets randomly jumbled about. 

At this point, Morgoth's throne room is really messed up, but I still have a clear path to the stairs.  All I have to do now is make the trip back up to the surface.  I've earned tons of xp from this fight and just dump it all into evasion.  Nothing can hit me.  So I go up and start looking for the next set of stairs up, completely ignoring every monster I see.  I don't even have to worry about getting trapped, because I have the riposte ability that allows me a free attack against anything that misses by a large enough margin.

It's a good thing, because you only get a short period on every level on the way back up before Morgoth appears again and starts chasing you.  For the most part I can ignore him, but on a few unlucky occasions his earthquakes trap me in melee with him as I'm running through a hallway or something.  I'm forced to get out my mattock and dig through rubble or just stand still and survive until the next earthquake clears a path.

I make it up to 400 feet/level 8 out of 20.  More than halfway back up to the surface.  Then I make an unlucky guess and turn into a small dead-end room.  Morgoth blocks the exit.  Yeah, they'll actually do that.  The AI is decent.  They'll block you in when they have an advantage.  They'll refuse to follow you into bottlenecks.  They'll hide around corners from projectiles.  Anyway, Morgoth blocks the exit and brings the roof down.  After the re-arrange, the only way I can move is to the space directly in front of Morgoth, and it's a pit.  I have no choice but to move there and wait for another earthquake to hopefully provide an escape route.  Moving into the pit causes me some falling damage... and fighting from within a pit reduces your attack and defense rolls considerably.  Because of this, Morgoth is able to land a nasty killing blow on me.

Just like Fingolfin.  Takes on Morgoth like a boss, but the damn guy is invincible and keeps putting holes in the ground.  Eventually he trips on one of those holes, and gets crushed while prone.

If I may? Fuckin' awesome.
