I'm such a lazy-ass...
17 years ago
Been too long since I updated, meh.
Registered all but one of the classes I wanna take when I restart skewl in January, so currently my schedule looks like:
MWF
11am - Intro to Philosophy
Noon - Principles of Microeconomics
TR
1pm - Acting I (for non-majors)
Micro's a refresher, Acting's a retake of a class I flubbed before I left. Intro Philosophy's a gen-ed; I'm intrigued to see just what they do with it.
I'm also trying to get into the MWF 2pm Business Calculus class, but having a bit of an issue because it's supposedly been a bit too long since I took the preq College Algebra class; I'm currently working with the Math and Econ department-heads to get that kink worked out.
Last week I ordered a new winter jacket and trousers, and I'm really hoping they get here tomorrow as scheduled because right now I'm running around in freezing weather in a jacket that's basically a glorified shirt! >.< Also, I'm getting a new phone; check it out! http://tinyurl.com/25mweg
Games
MUGEN: Haven't worked on it for a while, still. Contemplating (once I've integrated all my recent acquisitions) re/introducing older variants of all the chars I have where available, to the end that every major version of each char I have is present - that is, even if they also appeared in SF3, I'll also have the SF2 and MvC versions active (Ken's a good example there).
WoW: Haven't been on since last update; been preoccupied with...
CIV: Decided I wasn't quite finished with NwT after all, particularly since I don't have the memory to run CIV Gold and test modifications to it :(, so I downgraded it to a late beta (v0.8). I've got it mostly done now, might post another beta soon. Still have that Russia game going but started a new game to test the new build of NwT, which seems to be going pretty well; ended up as Cunhambebe of the Tupi. :D Picked up two super-early extra cities, later gave one up to a separatist movement led by Bolivar, nearly lost the other to a violent rebellion but managed to buy them off until I could improve their lot. Lots of neighbours, the closest ones being Dom Pedro II of Brazil and Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylonia. (and Bolivar, of course)
WWE: Meh, lots of stuff has happened here, enough that I think it'll be easier to just list the current champions. Also, I've gotten all the CaWs done, and opened the Rumbles up for shots at tag titles, though nobody's tried for one yet. Also, I have a couple of "imaginary" championships that I created to fill out what I felt were some gaps in the title structure, and rearranged the rest; here they are in order of prestige: (Titles in italics are on RAW, titles in bold are on SmackDown!, non-formatted titles are cross-brand)
Intercontinental - originally held by Batista, then Nocturne (my personal CaW), currently The Rock
United States - originally held by John Cena, then Vega (SF Shadaloo bossman), then Booker T, then The Big Show, then Vega again, briefly by Doug Basham (lost back in the mandatory rematch), currently Muhammad Hassan
WWE - originally held by Orlando Jordan, currently The Hulk (the Marvel hero, not Hogan)
Million Dollar - originally held by Carlito, briefly by Spike Dudley, then by Robért Conway, then by Donovan (friend's personal CaW), then by Wolverine, then by '80s Hogan
Triple-Tag - new title, vacant pending opening tournament; champions will have to defend vs. team formed by Wolverine
World Tag - not yet contested, held by Big Show & Kane
WWE Tag - not yet contested, held by The Chain Gang (John Cena & Paul London)
Hardcore - originally held by Mankind, briefly by Kurt Angle and Randy Orton, then by Kurt Angle again (permanently), currently by Mankind again, briefly by Tazz
Outlaw - Hardcore-style title using Stone Cold's old "smoking skull" belt; held by Stone Cold, briefly taken by Shawn Michaels and Wolverine
World Heavyweight - Limited to wrestlers 300lb and under; originally held by Ted DiBiase, then Snitsky, then Triple-H, currently Alex (from SF), briefly by René Duprée
[b]British Heavyweight - Brought over by "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, also limited to 300lb; currently held by Hollywood Hogan
Light-Heavyweight - Limited to 255lb; originally held by Tajiri, currently Bret Hart
Middleweight - Limited to 240lb, new title, vacant pending opening tournament; champion will have to defend vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Cruiserweight - Limited to 225lb; uncontested so far, held by Paul London
Welterweight - Limited to 180lb, new title, vacant pending opening tournament
Women's - uncontested so far, held by Trish Stratus
Notable alignment shifts:
Kurt Angle & Mankind - Double-turn (Angle to face, Mankind to heel) after Mankind failed to retake the Hardcore title
Carlito - Turned face after losing the Million Dollar title to Rob Conway
Spike Dudley - Turned face after being drafted to RAW, then back after failing to keep the Million Dollar title
Edge - Turned face after being drafted to SmackDown!
Hollywood Hogan - Turned heel in jumping to SmackDown! to contend for the British HW title, then back after winning it
Orlando Jordan - Turned face after losing the WWE title to The Hulk
Shawn Michaels - Buried Alive in an attempt to take the Outlaw title from Stone Cold; resurfaced several weeks later on SmackDown! as a face
Randy Orton - Turned face after failing to retain the Hardcore title won from Mankind
Will report tonight's action tomorrow.
