I solo'ed my rogue to ~38 before I ever joined a guild, so Cazic Thule was out of the questions. Eventually when I was high enough, I used to go down to the basement and farm black silk something.. oh man, I can't remember!.

Eventually I became a DPS machine and everyone wanted me, but prior to that everyone wants bards, rangers, shaman, something more versatile. But when you died on that raid, that's when everyone suddenly wanted me to be their best friend! :hugegrin:

That's okay, you don't have to play this, sit on that 200 point cushion..

Thank you everyone for the compliments on the interview, I am truly thankful.

I think the last category is the most interesting. Although seeing how close other people are on the badges nobody has could be nice too.
AOL is still around?

We own tons of stuff you probably heard of, like MapQuest, Huffington Post, Engadget, Techcrunch, stuff like that. There is an AOL On app you can download to watch our original content on your Xbox (two of the shows just got Emmy nominations). Last year it was a huge deal that we passed Google for video ads (link), which most people think is impossible since they own YouTube. Here are recent comScore rankings...

Anyhow, I'm sure you were joking, but since I've dedicated my entire adult life to AOL I feel compelled to at least point out a few things people don't usually know.
A little late, but great read Kaens. I think we already discussed our EverQuest pasts before, but I still enjoy reading about it. Agree it would be my most favorite game of all time as well, probably just because of the sheer number of hours spent. I'm also most excited about Dragon Age Inquisition for XB1 at this point for the fall releases.
I decided to read this after you sent me a friend request, and I'm glad I did. Your gamertag is great, now I will always see it as Sneak though. I have a slight problem with dyslexia anyways so now my brain will really do flips! You have some interesting picks for your favorite 360 games. I have beat Oblivion on my old account. I never played Tenchu Z though, and now that is going on my wishlist.
