Well as of yesterday morning I had crossed the 40,000 word mark. It was a great relief, especially since the words just seemed to flow yesterday and I had 4,000 words under my belt before I even knew it, which was my goal for yesterday, just so i could break 40K and take maybe a day or two off. There's a story or two that I've been neglecting since I started NaNo and I should really get back to those. I need a change of venue for a day or two.

Loathing...There's no Fear to it...
I'm happy to report that i've crossed the 36K word mark this morning, which leaves me with some easy going for the next couple of days. I'll still write be sure of that, but I don't feel nearly as rushed lately. But there's something that I must get off of my chest. I heart NaNo and everything like that. no biggie there, but it's kinda like, at this point, I hate writing the story. That's more than likely my inner editor giving it one last go to fuck me up before I complete this thing, but let's be honest at this point. I've been writing this story, gun to my head, for a little over two weeks now. It's not the story that I dislike per se, but the fact that I'm doing it just for the word count. The big thing is that I'm ready to wrap up the story, on more than one front, but I'm gonna have to drag it out for another 14,000 words, which Is doable, but it feels like I'm almost throwing fluff in there at this point just to stretch it out a bit and that's why I'm not so much in love with the story as I originally was. The exploits of Elias Burke, aka The Viper are many and varied, and I planned to reflect that a little more than I did, but the story kinda took itself over and didn't really lend to me giving out one or two more flashback types of deals. Now that I'm past the point of no return, and wouldn't anyway at this point, I'm discovering that there's a few characters that I meant to showcase more than I did, and certainly wanted to breath a little more life into through backstory and such, but it seemed that I was doing that a little much through the first half of the story and so it just seemed to get into repetitively ending chapters of "lemme tell you a story about..." So I steered more and more away from flashback and went more for the here and now, and in the process people like Edgar, even one of the other main characters Shin Lao, and Detective Skinner got chopped down. Now I've told a great deal of the story through Skinner's eyes so he's kind of become fleshed out throughout the book, but Shin Lao at one point was a fully fleshed out character through the many adventures, and I won't hesitate to mention she was pretty fecking cool. Unfortunately through the NaNo process she got chopped down from a bad bitch of an assassin who could kick anybody's ass on her own to a kind of a sidekick type character. This disappoints me, but will be addressed at a later moment.

New Favorite Passtime...
I have discovered the Joy of Albatross 18. It's something of an online Golf game that I'm digging the hell out of the last couple of days. I'm still a rookie and don't have any of the cool gear, but I've been trying to find an online gold game as Hot Shots doesn't have anything of the sort. It's got the cutesie anime type of graphics but it's a blast against other people. So far I'm 2-1 against other people. if I could only get my putting together things would go much better for me I'm sure. But that's the only gripe I really have about the game. The greens are kind of hard to read. Instead of like other golf games where it'll show you the twist and lie of the green, this one relies on dots that, in theory, will show you where the ball would lie if you putted it through the center of that particular area. I'm not quite a gold legend...but I'm working on it.
Oh and as far as NaNo goes I broke 30,000 words this morning!! Only 20K more to go and roughly 16 days to do it in. I feel i'm in good shape at this point. I'm now dropping into the intense part of the story so it should write itself before I know it.

NaNo...Day 11
Well I crossed over to nearly 22 thousand words this morning. I should be closer to about 25-28, but my mom had been down for the last 3 days or so, so I didn't get much writing done. I had also meant to write some last night, but decided to play a little CoH instead. This worked out perfectly since I really needed to clear my head a bit and relax. Hopefully I'll make up the last few days this weekend and be back on pace where I want to be. But all in all I think I'm a little ahead of the game in comparison to several thousand people. This makes me feel a little better about things as if I keep this pace up I should bit 50K by around the 23rd.
That's not to say that my story hasn't had it's share of problems. I decidedly ran into pacing problems yesterday. I realised that I'm just about halfway through the 50K and a good deal of the story had been revealed. I'm going to be forced to reveal the hook a little sooner than I'd expected, but as I lay awake at about 1am last night I worked it all out in my head so that was one obstacle worked around. Though if this were a Shakespeare play, this would be the point of the Climax, which would then start the downhill slide in the story to the conclusion, so by that pattern, I'm still good to go. All in all I've gotten a little further along than I thought I would so I'm proud in that regard. When the NaNoWriMo is over with, i'll probably post the story up here, chapter by chapter and take thoughts on it. I'm still wanting to do something of a web comic/graphic novel type of thing with it, as I think the story in my head will translate to that medium much better than it's translated thus far to words.

Life, The Universe, and Everything...
So while I've been writing this novel for NaNoWriMo I've been drawing inspiration from all over. Obviously due to the story that I'm telling I've been watching a lot of the Hong Kong action flicks. Some recommendations that I might make for those of you out there who haven't sat through a movie night with me before are: The Replacement Killers, Hard Boiled, The Killer, and Full Contact. You'll also note that these are all Chow Yun Fat movies, and most of them were directed by John Woo. The Replacement Killers would probably be more accessable to most people as it was produced in the west. The Killer I recommend getting the subtitled version, as the dubbed version fails in the way that most dubbed movies do.
Also, strangely, I've been re-reading the books that make up the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. I just finished, as you can tell Life, The Universe, and Everything. I just started So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish. However it doesn't stop there, as there was a newer book that he wrote before he died named Mostly Harmless. I have that as well as a short story involving Zahpod Beeblebrox that I don't know about yet, but it has to be interesting. That's all for today, I have to pound out a few thousand more words before I truly relax for the day

A New look...
As I'm sure the couple of you who read this have noticed, but I've changed the look of the place. Mostly this is influenced by the story that I'm writing for the NaNoWriMo, but also because I had wanted to give it a new look a long time ago and just never had the time to learn where blogger places a lot of it's tags to do much. There's gonna be some more changes in the next few weeks to be sure, and possibly a new title. But in the meantime...baby steps.
First a few explanations on a few things since I know a bunch of people are gonna complain about the colors and such. First I wanted to keep it a simple scheme, I don't like a lot of clutter and streamlined is the way to go. Second, there's just something about that little Sepia Tone button that I love when using drawings for backgrounds. White seems to stark and grey just makes me wanna go hang myself. I'm purposely keeping some of the things in the light blue because I didn't want it to go too beige on everybody
Third, that handsome gentleman in the corner is one of my favorite personal RPG characters. That's a character I originally created for a game called Feng Shui, which is an action movie RPG. His name is Elias Burke, known around the mafia/triad/yakuza scene as The Viper. He is also the main character in the story that I'm writing for the NaNo. That's a sketch I did when I first started playing Feng Shui back in probably 92 or 93.
All right, enough explaining myself on my own blog, hope everybody enjoys, if not...I'm not changing it unless I come up with something better...which is doubtful

Inspiration needed...
So as I counted on I've reached a part in my NaNoWriMo story where I'm at a bit of an impasse. The real problem is that I've essentially written myself into a corner. Where I've taken the story up to this point will take an act of god to push my way through. If I do that I may not be able to get the story back on track for quite some time and will take me forever to rectify. The simple solution to this is to delete the last 500 words and re-write, which I don't want to do for several reasons, one of which being that I'm losing 500 words. The other is of course that I'm trying to strangle my inner editor for this thing. So for inspiration I've decided to watch the Replacement Killers. It's a fabulous movie aside from the fact that It kind of neatly wraps of the atmosphere I'm trying to take this story. I'll let you know in 1 hour and 35 minutes how things are going :)

It has Begun...
No I'm not talking about City of Villains...that began last saturday. What I speak of is the National Novel Writing Month. And quite proudly I've written my 3000 words for today. We'll see how things progress as the month continues. I'm writing 3000 a day so that I have some padding on days where the well seems to run dry, giving me a little bit of time so that I don't completely stress out come the 20th and vapor lock because i'm feeling so rushed to make up 10,000 words. It goes until the end of the month, but I'd like to give myself a little leeway. Guess I'll finally get to write the great american novel I've been talking about for years.

Three Hour Warning
The City of Villains headstart for the pre-order customers begins at 0001 EST. Soon I will be bable to make my greatest nemesis. mwahahahaha

Because I Have Nothing Better to do...
I've been kinda busy with the CoV beta testing as of late. They had a rather fun PvP event last night testing out Siren's Call. The heroes won the event of course, but the lag was horrible. Hopefully things will improve once everybody returns to their respective servers. Anywho, I've been playing around with graphics and such from CoH lately and came up with a semi-nifty desktop wallpaper. Now, for an explanation since I think at least one other member of the depicted SG may read this. This is our SG from Protector server, and unfortunately when I went to WoW I deleted my CoH folder and hence lost a great majority of my screenshots. So a good number of the other former members aren't shown in this. So I had to work with what I had from a couple of the screenshots that I had moved to another folder. So anyway, here it is.
10.15.2005
Impressions...
So I've had the City of Villain beta account for about a week now, and here are a few impressions of what I've played so far.
1. A lot of the classes are inverses of CoH archetypes. Say for example that the Tanker class is Primary powerset of Defense and secondary of Melee, the Brute AT from CoV is a Melee/Defense for it's powersets. While they have some certainly interesting inherent powers and all, that's the truth that I've come to...except for mastermind.
2. Masterminds rule all. Maybe because I just have a softspot in my heart for the James Bond evil mastermind type of character, but I find the MM's just far too much fun to play.
3. Very laggy. I know it's beta and all, but for god's sake, even if there's a quarter of the CoH population between the 2-4 of the servers they have running for the beta, I should at least be able to make it to the end of an alley in under 5 minutes. I think it may have something to do with the new Mastermind class having a bunch of minions out, but something needs to be fixed before this thing goes live, otherwise it just looks like a slideshow of a really neat game.
4. Mercy Islan is a pain in the ASS to navigate around. The lag has something to do with it, but getting back to your first contact and the trainer is a pain in the ass the first couple of goes.
5. I see a losing a bunch of CoH players to CoV permanently. If they clean up the lag they'll have themselves a very very solid game, and unless a very good majority of the new CoV features find their way over to CoH, people aren't going to be switching back.
Well that's my thoughts for now. In short it's shaping up to be a very worthy purchase. That is all

My Day Has Come!!!! Mwahahahaha
I have seen it. Oh yessssss. The short form is this. I've been crawling the CoV beta forums, which I can say without violating the NDA agreement because this is something affecting CoH, and has been posted on the CoH page. But woot, I saw my first "Nerf Controllers" post. It must be the first sign of the Apocalypso or something...

This was posted in the Eternals forums by our own Juris Est. Tell me you don't want this!!!
Sony has announced a proprietary operating system that is now
available on BluRay based machines. Instead of producing cryptic error messages characteristic of Microsoft's operating systems, Sony's
chairman Asai Tawara announced, "we have replaced impersonal
and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with our own Japanese
haiku poetry." The chairman went on to give examples of
Sony's new error messages.
A file that big?
It might be very useful
But now it is gone
The web site you seek
cannot be located, but
endless others exist
Chaos reigns within
Reflect, repent, reboot
Order shall return
ABORTED effort
Close all that you have
You ask way too much
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
First snow, then silence
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found
The Tao that is seen
is not the true Tao until
you bring fresh toner
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
A crash reduces
your expensive computer:
a simple stone
Three things are certain:
death, taxes, and lost data
Guess which has occurred
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on
This page is not here
Out of memory
We wish to hold the whole sky,
but we never will
Having been erased,
the document you're seeking
must now be retyped
Serious error
All shortcuts have disappeared
Screen Mind Both are blank
Windows VISTA crashed
I am the Blue Screen of Death
No one hears your screams

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.

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 :)
