In the beginning there was TotalBiscuit<\/a>. And all the days of TotalBiscuit were 12,496. And lo, on the 9,920th day, TotalBiscuit rendered unto us a gift<\/a>. TotalBiscuit begat Hegemony, ZiggyD, Morsexier, Kripparian, Zizaran <\/a>and many, many more. Then all the days of the exiles numbered greater than the grains of bloodied sands of the Wraeclast coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many folks hold close the idea that Kripparian<\/a> led us all here, let us not forget John Bain<\/a>. Not to downplay Kripp’s importance – he illuminated the way (and brought along a refreshing citrus beverage) for quite some time in the early days of PoE. An always-on streamer and frequent<\/a> podcast<\/a> guest<\/a>, Kripparian indeed deserves an exhibition credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of podcasts, you might find traces of a few lying about in the nooks and crannies of the interweb. My favorite to rosy-glasses back to occasionally is State of Exile<\/a>, though as a tourist I’ve not be able to find all episodes in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we are, no longer washed up on the beach (except once, twice [or on a half-dozen re-rolls] every 4 months). Zeno taught us how to build defense<\/a> while Nugi took that to heart<\/a>. Aila taught us how to rank 1 with zero-buttons<\/a>. Tie23he demonstrated how to grill chicken<\/a>. And Waggle mastered gardening<\/a>. Meanwhile I’m sitting here trying to play PoE 2 on a 2-button mouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
