Nope, though I've visited quite a number of times. There's so much more to do there than there is in this sleepy little town, and all of the concerts... it's a great place!
Hope you all have fun here in Oregon!

I learned two things from that video --
1. Reptile can only seem to end it in a draw, at best
2. Nobody fucks with Johnny Cage

Well.
Checkmate, America.
I have no idea what Canadian politics are about so I'm not sure what's being checkmated at. 
All that I know is that I want to run away there if Romney wins, because I'm sure Canada will still be a helluva lot better.

I preordered my copy about a month ago and it's coming out on the 20th of September.
What is Torchlight, you ask? Well, not to compare say it's better or worse, it is considered the spiritual successor to Diablo 2, as it is made by the same folks that brought you that game.
There are many things that separate it from that series, however, but my favourite is the pet system -- all characters start out with a pet that helps in combat, can hold and sell your items when you're out in the middle of nowhere, and a new feature in the sequel is that you can give your pet a shopping list so they can pick things up for you while in town, such as potions and scrolls.
For the people that don't like the rune system of Diablo 3, this game takes a step back to the days of allocating skill points and stat points at every level-up. The system is tweaked to where you aren't exactly going through skill "trees", but rather, you may purchase whatever you like in the list as long as you meet the level prerequisite. That's not all! Every five points you allocate to a skill, it will evolve in a way. Say you have a skill that makes a wall of branches that blocks and hurts enemies... at level 5, it will grow thorns and do more damage. At level 10, the wall gets bigger. At level 15, the thorns poison the enemies. And so on.
A big upgrade that the first game lacked is multiplayer. Not only can you connect to the internet but the beloved LAN option is also available, something that not enough games this generation have anymore. That was simply my only gripe with the first game, as it felt like the adventure really should have been a shared experience.
Another boast is the size of the game compared to the first -- it would take around eight to ten hours to complete the first but this sequel packs a whopping twenty to thirty hours into it. Also, you're not only limited to dungeons anymore; a vast overworld awaits with randomized layouts so no two adventures are alike. Max Schaefer of Runic quoted that the entire game of Torchlight would fit into the first act of Torchlight 2.
For all of you that had played the first game, check this out:
I honestly can't wait. I haven't been this hyped up for a game in a long time. Also, this game is only $20.

Oh, and for anybody that isn't already sold, if you preorder this on Steam, you get the first Torchlight for free.

Nobody around here has talked about it for a few years. Facebook is full of nothing except for 9/11 stuff now, though.

I was up even earlier on Saturday. In fact, I stayed up from Friday until Saturday evening because my town was having a "Free Dental" thing going on at my old school and people from out of town were piling up in the line. I got there at 12am and didn't get in until about 8am, but I got two wisdom teeth pulled for free!
The bad part? No pain meds.

I haven't played this one in quite some time. I own it for the PSP (it was only $4 at GameStop, brand new!) and have played it for a few hours on PC, and let me tell you... if you love your keyboard, pass this up. It's great fun but it's also the most frustrating game I've ever played in my life.

Yep, sounds like a Diablo clone!
All jokes aside, I've heard quite a lot about this one and I'm probably going to check it out after Torchlight 2 has run its course.

I'm staying up all night for Torchlight 2, also because it's one of the last few nights I will be able to do so before I start Fall Term.

Runic Games are amazing.
Thanks for this!

Absolutely amazing so far. I started with an Engineer and using double-handed weapons is pretty sick.
I'm doing the same exact thing.
I was expecting Veteran difficulty to still be relatively easy, but they cranked the difficulty up a lot in this game compared to the first. I can't just charge into the middle of a group of enemies anymore! D:
Then again, I think that makes this game a lot more enjoyable. It's been challenging from the get-go!

About 8-10 hours. It's not too terribly long, though there's a New Game+ in it.

Torchlight II hasn't turned off since it released. I turned off the sound effects and turned the music up and fell asleep to the town theme.
