Unlike the Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend, I don't have the urge to really log in and go play Path of Exile. The beta is still going on as of this post for another day, but I feel like I've seen everything the game has to offer already so I might as well detail my thoughts on it.

For those who haven't heard of this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't, here's a link to the Path of Exile website: http://www.pathofexile.com/ - I've only heard of this game through ForceSC2 on ...
