Rurik Harrgath Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Friends, Rangers, guildmates... lend me your ears! I have been compiling a playlist on the YouTube that thematically fits my Modern Viking-Tomb Raider-Expendables-Call of Duty recurring theme around here lately, and I would love to hear what sorts of offerings you guys can come up with to help bolster the ranks within. Looking primarily for modern stuff, with a soldiery, adventurous vibe. Remixes and covers of classic tunes are a definite plus! Here's the playlist link for a glimpse into my reality: I, Viking-Two-Zero I look forward to your responses. Let's kick this challenge off with some tunes! 21 hours ago, Wild Wolf said: WOOT WOOT! SO freakin stoked for this brother! I'm hoping to get Uncharted 4 when it comes out and I'm reading through AND LOVING Wraith Squadron. Bring on the Co-Op! Bring on some juicy writing! Bring forth Valhalla! Uncharted 4 looks amazeballs. I simply couldn't help but post a gif of Nathan Drake going full commando on some baddies! Of course, it also helps that my favorite grown-up toy is featured as a weapon in the game. 17 hours ago, mr_willes said: Oi, i still need to do my character writing, or are submissions closed already? Wait, out. You're approved to engage. Send it. Can't wait to see what your offering looks like, mate! 13 hours ago, Agnarr said: Following, as always. I'm so pumped up for the Co-Op stuff! I love that "Rurik's challenge rush" This challenge has more of a lingering scent of cordite than usual, but it's the same new challenge rush! 3 hours ago, Broba Fett said: Count me in. Did my first Rx challenge last night: Diane. Loved/hated it and I had it scaled down. I have much respect for the numbers in your crossfit sheet. Diana Rx is no joke. Admittedly, updating my metrics this challenge will be a large part of my activity and side goals over the next month. Everything else will be short fun stuff for mission objectives and accessory work. I am first and foremost a CrossFitter and there's no sense in denying that by shifting my focus elsewhere. Other than rucking, but that's pure survival training. I think the Tough would crush me without the bare minimum of prep work. 7 Quote [Level ??] Rurik, Templar-Marshal Class: Paladin of the Order of the Sacred Flame (Conquest Paladin/Champion) BRUTALITY 11 | FINESSE 10 | VIGOR 11 | INSIGHT 14 | WILL 13 Equipment: Leather armor, questing longsword, and adventurer's pack with alchemist's kit.
