The beginning is nigh!!

Well tomorrow begin the sign ups (from what I understand) for the NaNoWriMo. I'm going to participate this year. Matter of fact it's kinda what I thrive on. I made a comment in my old blog about being a "Combat Artist" in that I can't really perform well until the pressure is on. I'll procrastinate until the last possible minute and then I'll drill out material like there's no tomorrow, because well, there isn't a tomorrow.

So I'm gonna write a 50,000 word (approximately 175 pages) novel in 30 days. There is no try in this instance. I will succeed. It comes down to roughly 2000 words a day, which is no real problem when you stop to think about it. It's kind of a story I'd wanted to write for a while, and at one point had intended to make a web comic out of about 2 years ago. Now I'm going to be writing it, and willing, it will be a web comic as well. I'll put it up somewhere when I'm done with it, but again 50 K words is something of a lengthy post. So i'll figure something out.

Stating the Obvious...

As you can tell i've been indulging in my two favorite passtimes, graphics and CoH. But this doesn't mean that I haven't been feeding other habits as well. I've still been looking through other free online games, and so here's a brief report.

Anarchy Online: I can't believe that they tried to charge for this piece of crap at one point. crappy graphics, crappy controls...great concept.

Lineage 2: Not a bad game. The PK'ers made it sooo not worth it however. I enjoyed it a lot until i decided to leave the town and got ganked no less than 6 time by the same high level character, no matter which way I exited. This wouldn't have been such a bad thing if you didn't lose experience every time you die past lvl 5. So i got to visit lvl 4 quite a few times before I just stopped playing the game.

Empire of Martial Heroes: While this is just D.O. Online with a different name, it seems to have gone downhill since they changed to the new name.

Rakion: Fucking awesome game. Only got to play it in closed beta so it's not live yet. great, and free, game if you're into PvP games. My little archer ranked 1474 out of over 78,000 characters. not too shabby.

that's all that i've been occupied with aside from CoH and work and the family thing.

Now THIS is HAWT!!

See what happens when I stay up late...

Now THIS is even hotter...

Pure Insanity...

I think I'm gonna do the NaNoWriMo thing this year. I'd thought about it last year, but didn't quite have the moxie to do it. But I think I might be able to pull it off this year, so why the hell not. I might even put up the finished product online eventually. Though I do still owe a couple of people a movie script...you know who you are :)

Just continuing the cycle...

Ganked from a friend, who ganked it from a friend who...

What's on your list?

BAM! POW! WHAM!

I've gotten back into City of Heroes. Got the wife her own account now so we're fighting evil together. Trying to get chad into it as well, though that has been somewhat less successful. I'm hooking back up with the supergroup that i was part of before I went to WoW, the Eternals. There's just slightly fewer people running around Paragon City than there used to be, so joining an active Supergroup is kind of a must. And you can be sure that there'll be more screenshots to come. Got my blaster, Lord Legion, up to lvl 31, and halfway to 32, and my main hero, The In-Betweener, almost to 23. Much fun

Can you spot the REALLY bullshit piece of junk mail?

You're a smart crowd, I'm sure you can figure it out...

How HOT is This?

The First Rule of Fight Club is...

Well I believe Project Mayhem is in full effect. Was driving up to Bath to bring my brother back and there was a merge sign indicating that the right lane was closed. SO about a quarter mile down the road there's cones blocking off the right lane. So I've already merged and keep travelling when i notice that there's nothing going on in the right lane. COnes have blocked it off for a good 2 miles and all it is is cones...no road work, no sign of any previous road work...just blocked teh lane for no good reason. This happened once more on the way up there, with several state troopers in teh median watching, like this was entertainment to them. Like they did this on purpose. I know there's nothing going on on the highway on sunday but damn, find some other entertainment guys.

Hey love crusader I want to be your space invader...

I sent this to chad god knows how long ago, and he just sent me the link back. Everybody must watch this. I command it.

Awesome Link

that is all
