Peny Arcade is da roxor

Fri, 25 Nov 2005 15:25:16 GMT

Well one of the dudes that writes Penny Arcade (penny-arcade.com)had his baby yesterday and he wrote a long kinda play thing. The best part of which is EASILY
"They handed him to me, eventually. Not first, now - that's not done. The physchological weight of him nearly shattered my legs. This must have been how Ultra Magnus felt, I thought, when Optimus Prime gave him the Matrix of Leadership."

I laughed.

Blah blah

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 12:34:43 GMT

So yea.. I got bored last night... and I might've started up my WoW accnt again... oops. Its only until the Dark andLight beta hits, then I'll play that game. But for the moment I'm running around the woW world SkullCrusher as "Allabaster". Feel free to find me and chat ^^.
So halloween pics for Xab... I only have the one that is alright. I kinda got drunk and then I looked like a raving mad Jesus.... so yea. Here is me and a friend. He is supposed to be Steve Zizou from The Life Aquatic. He had a backpack through which he played the Zizou theme song. It was friggin hysterical.

At work last week went into the field north of our main exploration area (where there are no roads) and had to use helicopter. It was super friggin cool. My first trip in a helicopter. It is insane. The dude will land, u jump out and huddle, he takes off straight up while u are huddled there underneathhim. It was slightly pants-messing scary. Especially when he is landing on top of you to pick you up. Yikes, watching those blades come closer and closer to your face.

ooo DnL Open Beta

Tue, 18 Oct 2005 16:20:02 GMT

http://www.darkandlight.net/sog/indexEN.html

this looks prety dang cool. They are doing the open beta in a time BEFORE the game. So you have to retake control of areas from the Dragoons (the bad, bad dragons) and you can establish towns and stuff. They make it sound like all the stuff from the open Beta will be incorporated into the retail version.... ie if we found a town called Pyroxene then when the game hit retail, Pyroxene may be a thriving metropolis :)) Who wants to quit our jobs and make a town? Cause I know I do.

Lvl 57

Wed, 12 Oct 2005 00:14:13 GMT

I'm essentially the pwnz0rest player in Lin2. :) Made it to lvl 57, we got a couple drops FINALLY!! We got a recipe for Lance (which we sold for big bucks), a B-armor enchant (courtesy of our old friend Hollowman), and a recipe for kershaerk or something weird like that that I didn't even take a pic of because I didn't think it was any good (but apparently its worth lots ^^). I lvled like a mofo and I'm at 57 now. ummm I'm sure neat stuff ahs happened... but I dun remember. Rawr. Go to Xabs blog... boobie pictures.

Movie from DnL

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 14:23:57 GMT

K so this is a pretty dang sweet movie of ingame stuff from dark and light. Neato things to look for: When the guy first jumps off the cliff at the beginning...wow. And the electric ball thingy the maeg is shooting.. the AOE effect blows back all the skeletons.. so cool.

Look who I found ^^ I hunted with Tai abit. Hes a friggin beast.. literally. Lvled myself to 54 now and got hmmm 0 drops bleh. This elf was running around with a red staff... erg that means its +16 or more. Want? A little. So I hope all you lazy turds signed up for that beta. They just posted about an added feature. Anyone that has a guild registered on the forums can get an NPC added to the game that will give guild quests to people in your guild that the guild leader has written ^^ The leader just ahs to send in the quest he wants his clannies to do and the company will add the npc and any items you want colected to the game. Pretty dang cool.

Alrighty then

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 16:07:54 GMT

UGH!! stupid live journal. I hit a button and my entry disappeared.. so lame. So yea... Real life... My brand new stinking car was fine in the morning yesterday, but then when I went to drive it home at night, it was a little louder than normal. Then we came to a stop sign and the whole car was filling with noxious fumes. Yes, Psio was in it, but he only expels CO4 not CO. So yea.. my muffler is MESSED. AND last Friday on my way home, a truck kicked up a rock and gave my windshield a rock chip, which expanded into a full blown 8 inch crack by Saturday. So awesome.

On the subject of other games. I have been investigating Dark and Light and I'm a wee bit excited to try it out. If you want to also, then sign up for their forums here http://www.darkandlight.net/forums/ and then sign up for their Open Beta Stress Test here http://www.darkandlight.net/beta.php3

They wrote "Stress test open beta SOON"....Soon.. such a lame unprecise word. Bah. K I'll post screenies later of Lin.

Rawr

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 20:37:39 GMT

No mess with me... Me got uber 1337 skillz. I killed some dwarf. Someone named Powarless was messaging SOA(sonofashes) WHILE I WAS STANDING NEXT TO SOA and saying that the dwarf was MY alt and could I see his weapon? So I killed him. Rawr.

Gonna play pretty hardcore tonight...BUT tomorrow I have a work golf tournie (with Psioteese in my forusome.. ugh), so I dunno if I'll be in any shape tomorrow night to post. Well I'm pretty sure I won't be in any shape to update. So have a good weekend.

Back.. Will it last?

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 22:48:59 GMT

So yea.. I finally got ahold of a personable Persona person(hehe crazy alliteration for teh win), ALOT harder than it sounds. Its gotta one of the only "communication" companies I've ever tried to contact and gotten busy signals.... I mean.. busy? You guys have unlimited lines I would've thought? bleh. anyways. the dude talked me through uploaded some pics to my site and I'm in business.
So I'm playing a Shillen Elder in Lineage 2. Good class. Everyone wants to be my friend cause I can give Vampiric Rage (makes melee fighters drain some of the dmg they do as hp regen). and Empower (to make those overpowered Nukers... you know... more overpowered).
Most of my time is spent with my Main character minimized and playing SonofAshes' nuker. I owe that turd alot ^^ Getting up lvls as an SE isnt hard as long as you have top gear and a nuker with top gear that is willing to use Blessed Spirit Shots... and well SOA has that :)
So I made it up to lvl 53, my alliance secured a castle, lost it to a crazy ass high lvl clan, kileld a couple raid bosses... and I have like 5 pictures lol.

Lets see if that pic works... SHAZAAM

just a couple pics. Piewackett is Zhanig... dude... its "Catch you on the flip side". Noob. Darkschnider is the nuker me and SOA use. Thats SOA being smart and kicking his powercord out.

Bah I used my lvlup pic twice.. too bad. I lvled up 53 times and took 1 pic. Aweshum. I also suck at cropping on this new program.. I'll get better I swear. I'm also doing alright. I got a karmian tunic and a bottom drop on Alligator island where I was hunting solo for awhile. There is a pic there that is a polearm pull by a dorf in our clan. This dude would go get like 20 monsters, run into a corner then go hardcore with the Soulshots. My screen would glow blue. All I had to do was SPAM heal on him when he was in the corner. Was great exp and fun.
I have kinda been peaking around at mmorpg's that are coming out soon. This one called Dark and Light seems kinda cool. I applied for the beta.. but I'll never get in bah. I think I will give it a try when it comes out.. but thats not for another month. Also Darkfall looks awesome but there seems to be some concern whether the company will ever actually launch it. So if anyone has any others I should check out.. then drop al ine. But I want a new one. I dont wanna start as noob surrounded by a dying game.

me tuff

Progress

Tue, 16 Aug 2005 10:20:31 GMT

Nono..not videogame proess. Progess in trying to make my dumbass picture host work. I've managed to d/l Adobe (I mean purchase it at merchant price)and to log into the host my provider gives me...but the actual progress of uploading the pictures was slightly denied. So I'll give Sympatico call tonight

Heres the Thing

Wed, 10 Aug 2005 16:26:34 GMT

So yea... I think I am going to start blogging again. I miss having people tell me I'm stupid in writing as well as in person. So no pics until tonight when I figure out if my picture host is still working. But this is the story thus far.... WoW is fun.... to a point. There comes a time in the game where money means very little... exp means nothing... so the only really good stuff is obtained in 40 man raids. These only happen a couple tiems a week and take 4hrs+. So I got bored.... really bored... and then a couple people in our clan started being real assfaces and I couldn't handle it anymore...so I activated my Lineage2 accnt again ^^

I borrowed some stuff for my dorf off Zhanig.... but hes kinda boring alone cause he has to sit down so much. So I started a dark elf oracle and got equip off Ashes. I lvled it to 20 in 2 days :) Now I'm 30 and I have recharge and empower and people love me. So now I can get into duos with people that are mages and spam b-SpS and have top gear :) yay me.

I'll post some pics later on and start posting each day (or so).
~pyro

PS o yea.. penny-arcade the past 2 days has made me fall off my chair laughing... so good. Disco.. the ball company called.

PPS someone figure out how to make a chatter box for me.

Lower BlackRock

Fri, 08 Apr 2005 20:56:11 GMT

Is sure fun. I went twice last night, to the fourth boss the first time (the spider boss) and then just to Voone the second time. The ultimate goal was to get me the second gemstone to make the Key for UBRS...bleh failed that...BUT on first run I got wildheart gloves to sell and on second I got the Shadowcraft belt :)))

On one of the bosses our entire party got turned to frogs.. was super funny.

(whis me if u want to buy em cheap xab).

Holy Jeeze Louis...

Tue, 05 Apr 2005 21:12:29 GMT

I UPDATED!!!!
Well its been friggin AGES and I'm back AND lvl 60 ^^
I know everyone wants me to have some kick ass lvl 60 screenie...but I was trying to be cool and made a FRAPs video of it. And I don't have any software to edit it.. SO.... here's me lvling...

Thats me blowing the candles out.

So yea.. made a compilation of some pics. Cause thats what I do.

Xab is apparently a cheese-smelling, chubby bear. I mean.. I have screen shots of it.. Its gotta be true. There is a small pic of some lvl 56 dead horde priest... I know.. seems so mean to kill a lvl 56 priest.. but come on.. hes in Unholy Ascesion.. O did I mention we killed him 4 times... and it wasn't me alone.. it was me,psio, and seaborn... hehe Can you say "DPS"?
Couple drops.. they sucks but ah well, there has to be some candy shots. O I'm dumb.. I forgot to take a pic of my new equip. I will later, but I borrowed cash off Seaborn because some dude was selling the Stormshroud shoulders and tunic for cheap so I bought both ^^ Seaborn has too much money anyway :)
Gotta love monsters that personalize their things they say "Me Smash Gnome!!" When he was going after Psio's cat it was funny cause he was yelling "Me smash Kronic"... err funny to me... maybe funny to select others.
O and then we were doing the quests that are in the caves but not in the instance of Uldaman for Disco and this stupid hunter attacked us.. So I killed him once and then we all got DESTROYED by him and a party of 5 lvl 60s....erg. Hurts.. Then we resed and completed one more quest and tehy are came back... grrr... so died again... Then outside me, disco and some others killed this dude and his friends like 5 times :))))) There was like 5 of us but I was the only high lvl.. so it was uber fun.

Lvl 59 c00lness

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 21:16:20 GMT

I managed to grind out lvl 59 last night ^^ I was just killing.. chilling...doing quite well. got a pretty good drop (all leather with + agility is good cause there are so many dang rogues). I'm going to repec my talents tonight so that I can use improved sap (sap someone then poop back into stealth... want to do this SO BAD).

Long weekend...weee ^^

Woot Update k3wln355

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 00:09:20 GMT

Hoorah! New computer action. New computer is to old computer as cheetah is to snail. Yessir.. its friggin fast.
I got a something something motherboard with a new AMD processor... ist like 2.3 speed but the bus speed is 2 times that of pentium processors so apparently it r0x0rs the s0x0rs off Pentium (in case you haven't figured it out I know ALOT about hardware). Psioteese helped me put it all together... took friggen forever cause of...err complications with the dumbass who sold it to me and the ass-backwards way they set up the RAM slots. I mean come on... slots 1a, 1b (both red), 2a, 2b (both blue)....now if you had 2 sticks of RAM, where would you put them? HAHA WRONG!!! apparently the answer is slots 2a and 2b. Awesome
Nevertheless, I now have internet, speed, a photo program, some virus protection.. I'm pretty much stacked and ready to go.
I have hunted ALOT recently trying to lvl my slow ass up. Well alot is subject to the drinking binges my dumb friends make me endure.
Anyways, just one big collage because I formatted harddrive when I got new computer.

There is apic of an Unholy Ascension guy tha ganked me and Xab when we were killing mops the other day (him and his lvl 60 hunter buddy...not so hot when I get the jump on ur lvl 59 butt are you? muahahaha)
That green monster is super wicked looking. I love the look of most of the elementals in this game. Very nice.
I lvled in this pic AND got a pretty good drop on the same monster ^^I'm sure the odds of that have gotta be pretty rare. This was to lvl 57 btw but I am now 58 :)
Adn while mining I got an arcane crystal... apparently worth money acording to clanmates but I have NO IDEA.
well peace.. I should be better at this update thing as I have new computer :)

Stupid Picture host

Meh

Mon, 07 Mar 2005 22:11:32 GMT

Meh not alot happened this weekend... I took Disco and Frozenpheire from my clan through gnomergan and dang o dang it was sinfully boring. I saw Spokc there.. I have a feeling this is a reference to something that I should understand but I just can't seem to place it.

Got a mith helmet rec.. but Sword has it already so I dunno what to do with it. I was grinding trolls trying to get some wildvine and failing like crazy.

Then I hunted in Un'Goro lots. Fun. I really enjoy it there but ugh I use alot of bandages and food and nothing there drops cloth so its bad.
~pyro

Short update

Sat, 05 Mar 2005 16:07:57 GMT

Man updating sucks. I wanna go play.

Just a quick collage to keep yall happy and keep my guilty conscience at bay.

The background on this is Un'Goro crater... I put it up to complain like crazy about how dang far the cemetary is from where I died :( man I hate that. The worst by far is Uldaman back entracne.. ugh. The number of times I've died in there and walk ed that VERY FAR way back. I dun even wanna think about it

Nathan... well if you gank me while I'm killing mops I'm TOTALLY KILLING YOU FOREVER!1!!one!!

It seems patterns and recipes are getting pretty rare at the lvls I'm at now so everytime I get one and I link it in guild chat its like a barrage of "memememe" ^^

~pyro

Sat, 26 Feb 2005 23:44:10 GMT

Well the origianl arguement between people playing Lin2 and this WoW game was that WoW looked bad compared to Lin2... And I'l admit that Lin2 has some very nice textures.. but even in the graphisc its kinda boring... like its not as "busy" as nature is... you know? Like its not all open fields with 1 tree.
So... this is a pretty WoW pic.. and a funny looking monster ^^

This is a collection of things that struck my attn in the past .... ugh like a week since I updated.

The ogre is all innocent and stuff... only whats that stuff at his feet? is that doo doo? Plz tell me it is.. I was CRYING when I noticed this.
The underground thing is just me being amazed at the background research that these developpers did. I saw the machinery in a mine near BlackRock and that funny looking wooden thing they have is calle a continuous miner and is used in coal mines everywhere.... really kinda cool (to geologists ^^).
Doesn't that radar image look like a person? I totally was just running around trying to find that mith vein marked when I stood back and was like "woah..wth?"
This is me trying to go party with Xab... unfortunately the monsters here are abig hard for me... I was getting like 600 exp for discoverying the place tho ^^

We went to Zul Farak with a totally kick ass party. We were all in clan and on vent so it was well organized, no glory hogs or idiots running out front... We totally destroyed the place... then we get to the final fight and we get stuck... SO LAME. I can't believe we DESTROY the entire instance and then the last fight is so imposible that we wipe. I mean.. like we didnt even have any close calls before that. It was pure destruction. Needless to say I was kinda disappointed.

So what better thing to make me feel better?/ ahh seeing KidIcarus and seeing he still has to talk all incaps ALL THE TIME. moron.
~pyro

Oy.... its been like over a week

Thu, 17 Feb 2005 22:35:52 GMT

Man I'm a slacker. I lvled thjo ^^. Lvl 49 now. My whole plan to catch up to Xab is foiled routinely by her continued plan to lvl... bleh.
First off.... DISCO JOINED US!!!! He actually managed to scam a copy of WoW over in Europe that is for the NA servers... Super good to see him and have him back.
Work is busy busy... Thesis is falling behind.. I feel bad.. and yet erally good not doing it at the same time... thisis a bad combo
Game stuff...
I managed to pickpocket a Star Ruby.. was pretty stoked because I needed one more to make an Ebon Shiv.
Dang.. Timothy the Master Tailor is wearing a PIMP outfit.
I did the first aid quest for like Artisan? I think... Anyways it sucks so HARD!!! I hated it. I must've failed it like 10 times. Finally all my patients were only "Injured" instead of "Critically injured" and I managed to get through without killing them all. Thank the lord.

I love getting drops that have a sell value of more than 1g just to store.. It makes me feel warm and sunny inside.
O my god.. it fees just like Lin2... people askign me for money now ^^ You know you've hit the big time when people start begging off you. You know you're REALLY BIG TIME when they yell at you because you are so rich and won't help them out (that hasn't happened to me yet... give it time). O lol.. when I opened my next SS I realized why I took this picture.,. Its cause he went on to try to convince me that he lost all his money when the server crashed. Lol... How stupid does he think I am.. I mean I've obviously been playing long enuff tomake it to my lvl.. so shouldn't I be Veteran enuff not to fall for BAD scams?

We did another raid on Tauren Mill. I made the request that we NEVER go there again. I hate the guards there. If you hit one then like 50 million appear.

gogo 50. bai

Under da Sea

Mon, 07 Feb 2005 22:38:35 GMT

Look^^ I made a funny Helmet and now I'm a deep sea explorer. Got a nice drop and completed 2 quests :)

Even got my first Truesilver mine under water. :)

We had another raid on Saturday.... otherwise known as Lagday... We got to Ratchet then we all had so much lag that we couldn't even move... ABORT
This is us on the way...

Then we killed some folks ^^ always fun...

So then they all followed us back to the docks and most left ^^ Myself and another rogue that I had partied with before hid in a house and got ready to kill people ^^

Rawr..Killed jooo
So then we had this wicked plan to attck from the wwater cause we both have underwater helms... Didn't work so well.

So then I was like... hmm should I res?

Hmmm no.. So I waited for the boat then made a run for it lol

Thats about it...

Taurren Mills gaurds are EVIL!!! (GL with that Erch)

Then I went and turned in a quest to get my Black Menace... pretty sweet action.

Mon, 31 Jan 2005 23:33:09 GMT

Look at me!!! I'm updating!!

Lota pics for yall. First I was running thorugh Booty Bay (always lotsa skeletons here) and here is one doing a cartwheel ^^ and another just floating along... taller than I am lol. Look at this monster... Straight outta the 80s. This guy looks like he should be clubbing to She-Bop. And I turned in some quest yesterday and I got 1g... dang... more plz. Plz? PLZ?!?!?!

I got a quick glimpse into how Psioteese sees himself 24/7 ^^ (to those not playing.. sometimes peoples name just go waky big.. not sure why).
We went to SM for the first time with Erch and Woogie. Was nice to be babysat by high lvl Druid (hint hint Xab). Was fun, got a couple drops including a ring that I sold for 13g!!!!

The pic in the bottom right is specifically for ANYONE who complains about Alliance gankers..... PLZ, I BEG you, to make an alliance character and try to get into SM on a Saturday or Sunday. It is a serious gankfest.
Lychan and I were killing mops for his quest and we got a drop ^^ a sweet one. He gavde me half of the gold he got too. Thnk you very much man :) And this cookbook is hysterical.
