Wanted: 13th level Cleric and a heap of diamnonds!
Posted 17 years agoSo, as the majority of the gaming community has probably heard by now, Gary Gygax passed away. I never even knew he was in poor health... I felt even worse when I found out he lived less than 2 hours drive from my house.
But from what I know about him, he wouldn't want folks to mope about and feel bad. He'd want us all to game on. As a tribute to the man, I filmed a farewell tribute to him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLthRtsKpYM
The ship that is on screen was named the Gary Gygax. The two ships firing at him were named "Magic Missile" (the small one rapid firing at point blank), and "Fireball" (the one I was flying that chucked the huge missile that detonates at the tail end.) This was supposed to be a "viking style" funeral service, what with the burning of the ship and such.
Enjoy, and game on!

Predator. Nuff Said
Posted 17 years agoDating Game Meme
Posted 18 years agoAlright, just a fun little excersize I thought up. Basically you take the formula I give you here, found through SCIENCE, run the numbers, and the total is what is reffered to at the Standard Creepiness Rule, or the Do not date under this age line.
Since I am 23, my minimum dating target should be no lower than 19.
The formula is ((your age / 2) +7)
So for those who are not math savvy, my formula looked like this: ((23 / 2)=11.5) and then I add 7 to that, rounding up, since cops don't care if "she's only 6 months from being 18!
Once you fill this out, tag 4 people and have them spread this meme!

Posted 18 years agoSo I was cleaning my room a bit today, when I saw a page of a book sticking out from under a pile of papers in the "to be recycled stack". Now, what made me notice this page? Well... it had artwork on it. Not my art either, so that got me curious, so I dug a bit, and found it to be a picture of a dwarf mounted on a gryphon's back, with the gryphon on the brow of a rather crudely build warship, tossing a disemboweled Orc over the side.
Most of the gamers here that are 20 and older probably know what game this is, but for those who don't, this was the front page under the cover of the Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Game Manual. Now, a fun fact is that Mister Chris Metzen did a HUGE amount of the artwork and design work for EVERY game in the Wacraft and Starcraft series, and is apparently the vice president of the creative design team over at Blizzard. I spent the next hour of the day scouring the intertubes for his artwork, but oddly, found almost nothing through cumulative Google and Google Image Searches. If anyone out there knows where I can find some of his stuff (I am also looking for the World of Warcraft Art book, cause it has some awesome stuff in it) please tell me!
But this got me thinking, well, Warcraft 3 was AWESOME for its time, but I didn't enjoy its portrayal of the orcs as much. I had grown accusted to the bloodthirsty orcs of the 90's who would murder, rape, pillage, and plunder, not tree hugging hippy shaman orcs. So I concluded that what I really want to see from Blizzard is not a new Starcraft Game, or a new WoW expansion. I want to see a more fully fleshed out version of Wacraft: Orcs and Humans, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and Wacraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, rebuilt with a restored score in NON midi format, with 3d graphics that makes the orcs look like the orcs we love from the goddamn trailers, not the toony orcs that make little 12 year olds want their parents to shell out 15 bucks a month for.
And while I am on this topic, I also want Blizzard to follow the Example CCP is setting with EVE Online. Basically what CCP and EVE are doing is creating a graphical update specifically to take advantage of (windows vists/ Dx10, not sure specifically which) which will only be available to those with the Windows Vista version of the game. here is a link to some samle ships they are upgrading.
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/video/4/.....Comparison.wmv
I request that Blizzard TOTALLY rip off this idea and give us photorealistic orcs, blood elves, humans, dranei, night elves, tauren, trolls, dwarves, undead, and gnomes! I want to SEE the rotted flesh on an undead Deathknight swaying in a simulated breeze rushing over Northrend as he prepares to assault the frozen throne along with his guild of 60 level 80 characters!
Also, Bulletproof Backpack, for when you are attending the most ghetto schools on earth.

Connage
Posted 18 years agoSo, I (for the first time in my 7 year work history...) have actual PAID VACATION DAYS, and just in time for two cons.
First in the Calender: GenCon. If you are a gamer, this is your Mecca. You may not die till you attend at least once. Thing is... its four days long, and I have five days of Vacation to spend. A few buddies I game with on IRC will be in attendance (one lives likt 4 blocks from where it takes place!)
Second on the agenda: Midwest Furfest. I have several friends who will be attending this year, and would love to meet them. Last three days, is about an hour drive away, and costs less than GenCon.
I Wanna attend both, since they are sufficiently spread out date wise, however, I am facing a quandry regarding my allocation of Vacation Days on it. Should I attend GenCon for 4 days, and shell out 80 bucks for the ticket, plus Hotel costs? Or go GenCon two days, shell out 80 bucks anyways, and just crash one night at my buddy's house if he'll let me. (hell, I've clocked at least 120 hours on couches or chairs after late night gaming in my life) and spend another 3 at MFF, which is nice and close by?

Transformers: Not much more than meets the eye
Posted 18 years agoGot back from Transformers movie earlier. Honestly, not terribly impressed. It was great eye candy. All the transformers looked great, the voice acting was well done, the actor choreography was beleiveable, but the plot was just blah. I realise that it is an evolution of 80's cheese (which I will freely admit is the best kind, after all, it also brought us the Duke/Reagan vs Cobra Command/Saddam showdown!), but c'mon... the "Alien invasion and the only ones who can save are wet behind the ears noobs who's only real skills is that they are undergroud civilian paragons in their field (although I can't figure out what the fat black guy's special skill was...) or else just being caught up in a whirlwind adventure and having to just survive long enough for the other characters to solve your problems and you get the girl.
The combat scenes were top notch (Although due to my unfamiliarity with the various TFs, I couldn't readily identify names, except for ones that had a distinct, memorable name and a stand out feature (such as Prime being red and blue, or Bumblebee being bright fuggin yellow.)
Another part that irked me was that they make several references to military hardware that people likely wouldn't be able to readily identify. Such as in one scene of an airstrike against a TF, and they call in some A-10s who are firing either A) Saber Rounds from its ubercannon, or B) Sabot rounds from said cannon.
In the end it makes a good action movie, but its not going to be heralded as an epic, in the same way that the LotRs movies were. And considering it cost me 20 dollars for a ticket, some nachoes, and the SMALL soda... well... it was a TINY let down.
So, in conclusion, go see it, but hold off on spending all your money on treats, that way you can afford to go see Live Free or Die Hard the next day :P
*goes into exile so as to hide from the ressurected Torquaemada the fanbois send after him.*

Posted 18 years agoAlright, I am working on a wiki for an RPG I am running on IRC (called Alternity) and wanted to create an interactive flash starmap that my PC's could use to figure out where they are in relation to other celestial bodies. Afterall, there are some 15 solar systems in planning atm, and I wanna be able to show them to my players.
I have macromedia Flash Pro, but I have fuck all idea how to use it, so I was hoping anyone who does know, might be able to IM me on Yahoo or AIM and give me some tutorials?

To every guy that cried in front of her.
To every guy that she cried in front of.

Contests ftw!
Posted 18 years agoAlright, since I have FINALLY broken 1000 pageviews (huzzah and all!), I am holding a contest with the grand prize being a coloured pic by me. You will have the option to have it either be a full digimal one, or a traditional grayscale pencil work, or a line art on paper that is later coloured in Photoshop.
Contest: I will draw a wordless comic, and its up to you to add dialogue to the pics (you may save the picture for this editing). It may be humourous, serious, whatever you feel will win. It will then be presented to me via note (that way I hope to cut down on copycat works when someone sees a good idea) and will then be handed over to a panel of impartial judges on a chatroom I hang out in or via my YIM and AIM lists for final decisions, so I will be completely out of the judging, to keep it impartial.
Note, those of you I Chat with regularly online may reply here to let me know if you'd like to abstan from the contest and instead volunteer to be a judge. Otherwise I will not restrict you from entering, since I will have nothing to do with the judging process.

Stuff...ramblings...meh.
Posted 18 years agoFirst off, I would like to give mad props to all the REAL retail workers in American. You folks know who you are, from the Blue Vests at Wally World and Walgrees to the Polo shirts at Shopko (I've worked for all three) and Best Buy, you guys are the glue that holds our service based economy together, in spite of the average American consumer's attitude of *Wipes feet on you fnaar!* towards you. it has been a hellish week at work, (walgreens photo lab mostly) and just wanted all the non retailers to realise how much they owe our little fraternity
So, all you Joe Ferraris out there, who aren't doing thankless, repetative jobs where the people you meet look at you as something they scraped off their shoe, when you are in a Big Box Retail store (with or without kids) please observe the following thank you's for the glue that holds society together
1) Please please PLEASE put shit back where you got it when you pick it up. If you have something in your cart you don't want, don't just toss that GI Joe figurine on the box of candy, walk back to the Toy Aisle and put it away.
2) Don't get testy when stuff doesn't work at the register. its not the worker's fault the register doesn't ring something up right. Its a computer Database that does. if you have a problem, be calm and polite, and if the worker says he needs to call his manager to check, let him. Don't try and EVER tell the person its this price and that they ought to take your word for it, because 85% of the time, its your fault for misreading clearly labeled tags.
3) Please thank them for working so hard, and if there is no one else in line, try and hold a conversation. We are more than just faceless people here to service your needs. We are humans too, and we do have lives outside of work. When customers start treating us as faceless cogs in a giant machine, we start to treat customers as faceless drooling morons, and the whole process becomes counter intuitive.
4)Wipe you feet when you enter a store on a messy day. You have no idea how long it takes us to clean up all the fucking crap that gets on our floors on days like that. I personally have clocked almost 4 hours on the three major snow days we had this year mopping the ENTIRE floor of our store.
5) Don't abuse the Give a Penny Leave a Penny system. Stealing 20 pennies from the bin is just mean.
6) Don't pay for 8 dollars of stuff with 8 dollars in pennies or nickels. We simply don't have room for that much in our drawer, or enough time to count it to make sure its all there.
7) similarly, don't pay for 45 dollars of stuff with 40 singles and one five. Most retail stores have a place where you can take out larger bills with your credit card.
Thank you

Posted 18 years agoAlright, six things?
I HATE how gullible I am.
Its weird that I find barely clothed women fighting arousing.
I hate that all I seem fit to do for a job is Retail work
Its wierd that that I trust most of the people I know online more than I trust my own family.
One of my annoying habits is to ask the most obvious questions when confronted with something, while I look for some deeper meaning to it.
Another habit is that I constantly roll, stretch, and crack my neck, shoulders, knees and knuckles.

Senator Brownback can die.
Posted 19 years agoAlright, new Journal. Needed a good attention grabbing headline. This is the more PC version. Original was "Senator Brownback can get cancer and die", but I cut the cancer part due to it being a touchy issue with some people (such as my mother, who's father died of Cancer back in the 90's)
But I digress.
http://gamepolitics.com/2006/09/27/.....ill-in-senate/
Read this and weep for the death of freedom of speech for Electronic media.
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) has sponsored legislation in the United States Senate which would require the ESRB to play games in their entirety before assigning an age rating.
Brownback�s Truth in Video Game Rating Act (S.3935) would appear to be the Senate version of a House bill of the same name proposed by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL).
�The current video game ratings system needs improvement,� Brownback said, �because reviewers do not see the full content of games and don�t even play the games they are supposed to rate. For video game ratings to be meaningful and worthy of a parent�s trust, the game ratings must be more objective and accurate.�
Brownback�s measure would mandate the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to administer the requirement for a complete play-through before rating.
�Game reviewers must have access to the entire game for their ratings to accurately reflect a game�s content,� Brownback added.
The bill would also direct the FTC to define parameters for describing video game content as well as defining what kind of behavior by the game industry would break those rules.
Brownback also would have the Government Accountability Office (GAO) evaluate the efficiency of the ESRB system as well as the potential for establishing an independent rating body with no ties to the industry. Universal systems spanning movie, TV and games would also be looked into.
The conservative Brownback has been very active on video game issues in recent times. He worked with Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) on game-related bills such as the recently-passed CAMRA legislation and held committee hearings on video games in the Senate earlier this year.
Full text of Brownback�s new bill is not yet available. We�ll post it when it goes up on the Congressional system.
You can find a very eloquent post about this on Tycho's rant on www.penny-arcade.com
Basic summary is that apparently the ESRB isn't doing a good enough job to police custom created content, easter eggs that aren't included in the main run of the game, so they are going to dissolve it and set up a mock govemrent agency to police games and shut down ones that they disagree with.
But I digress.

Needing teh helpis.
Posted 19 years agoAlright, I have a copy of poser coming in the mail soon (hopefully before the weekend) and already have 3d Studio Max. I have vowed to go get 3dm bewks tommorow so I may attempt to learn the software, but currently have a model I am trying to skin for my first project.
Its a Muurian Transport, but UVmapper dislikes it and won't create a PROPER UV map for the ventral and dorsal sides of the model.
If ANYONE knows how I could do that via 3d Studio max, or knows a friend or acquiaintence who may have an answer, could you try and find out? All the online tutorials I have found assume you have a fully comprehensive knowledge of the software, so it leaves out important bits that I'd really need to have included to USE the tutorial, such as where in the hell the sub menu they reference would in the umpteen trillion buttons on the UI...
If anyone out there actually WORKS with 3dsm, I could even send you the file I am using so you can have a "physical" reference to help me from.
Please, I REALLY wanna learn how to do this, but need an actual "This is How you use it, dumbass" book, not just a 3dsm for dummies (I hate those books... the three I own assume you have a working knowledge of the stuff you wanna use.) If anyone here hangs out on Furnet or uses YIM, you can try and catch me on those, or hell, even my rare appearences on SL.
Thanks to all who at least LOOK at this.

Why do I bother?
Posted 19 years agoI'm not sure how many of you consider yourself liberal, progressive, or just NOT republican... but I am quickly becoming fed up with the Right side of the aisle... I really do try to be bi partisan, and reach compromises with people, or even just have reasoned debate...
But everytime I talk to them, they either rant at me, question my patriotism and/or morality, or resort to personal attacks, and I am getting fed up with it.
Because of the way my life has played out, I am an emotionally unstable, short fused young adult with a SEVERE persecution complex. So its getting to the point where I wanna start stepping on peoples throats...
it also doesn't help when people like Orly or Limbaugh (can't remember which) call a city near my hometown (and I consider myself a member of that city) the "Satanist Capital of America"
Its like.... with republicans, they truly are of the "You're with us or with the enemy" mentality... In fact, you peel the stickers off the folders that have the right wing talking points of the day, and underneath it will read "1984 cliffnotes" in black marker.
anyways, enogh ranting, time for some hawt mech on mech action! *climbs into his Vulture and loads on the 2 Clan Streak MRM40s and maxes out their ammo!*
