City of Heroes and/or Villians
Posted 13 years agoThe Kobold Trapsmith, cast adrift in time until she found the ACME robot catalog, has ended her career. She did not succeed at killing magic with the power of laser cannons. City of Heroes and Villians, Paragon City and the Rogue Isles and the First Ward too, closed their doors friday.
And I received a startlingly anonymous check on Thursday from my credit card. After I spent an hour finding out it came from NCSoft, I logged in for the last time with ninety dollars I had pledged to Paragon Studios sitting next to me. I didn't stand in Atlas Square, I didn't visit either long-abandoned superbase. Instead I finished Black Scorpion's plot arc.
And when robots triumphed I found new places and new systems. Remote contact auto-introductions! Who is this Fireball person and why does he have no face?
Oh. He is a fireball who gained sentience by being cast a lot. In the surreal afterlife of the alternate universe. A jive-talking spell sent me to destroy Antimagic with the help of Counterspell and Restoration. This is not a thing I have done before or, in fact, expect to do again. This ending is better than being sad in a generic cityscape.
In conclusion, this is designed to make you sad: http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/1.....ity-of-heroes/

Posted 13 years agoMy reports tend to be incoherent at best. Apologies for lack of linearity here.
What I really wanted to go see there was Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, or TMLMTBGB for short. 30 plays in 60 minutes, with the order chosen by "Whoever yells a number first after the previous one ends"! Last year was more profound, this year had more sexy content. Also, much of the action took place below the high-water line of the people's heads in front of me. Sorien bailed in the middle of the line to go have some Real Lunch so next year my plan to drag people in must continue. Ideally with Moriars!
My favorite entry was #9, Blind Date: You Don't Have To Do It 'Cause We're Doing It For You!
Two performers went to the front row and politely asked for two wallets, then introduced themselves based on what they found inside. Including a strangely specific address. Also, "I...like going to California a lot!" "Well, I have health insurance." "Me too! We totally have that in common!"
#17, What Women Want. 45 seconds of the lady doing something of a lapdance for one of the female audience members who sat unwarily close to the aisle. Then "You're too skinny. I'm going to get you some ice cream."
The one aimed at MFF the most was #26, as we take a collective moment to be sufficiently affected by the profundity of our own lives. The woman from #17 slowly, sadly, puts on a Big Bird suit accompanied by slow, sad music.
Aside from the aforementioned Sorien most of the people I knew were in the Dealer's Den, complicating conversation. Saw Nambroth and Likeshine and Painteddog and Art Lady #2 (Sandra Bong was there, Stephanie Lynn was out somewhere) and had a short arguement about the Grand Porn Dragon at the Furoticon booth.
Parade was pretty interesting. Got a good place to stand by virtue of showing up in a timely manner. Recognized many birds and a couple mammals in the cavalcade of fursuits. :D
Discovered that my 3DS can only store 10 souls at a time, so it needed to be poked a few times through the day. One had a very convincing cheetah and I got Merystic's soul when I was going down to my car.
Mostly I was wandering quietly. The only conversation I entered in a productive way was two people asking "What would birds say if we knew their language?" Aside from the obvious bird-psychology answers I got to talk about Nambroth's chickens and O. Scrivener's bird tales.
Too cold this year to expose the Tyger Tyger t-shirt. Was in the Dolphin TF Sweatshirt the entire time.
Sorien was quite enthusiastic about the animal rescue charity that brought in a basket of kittens. So was everyone else, allegedly: the lady running the desk came up before TMLMTBGB and announced how happy she was with all of us because "we pet the SHIT out of those kittens!" There was a round of ambivalence at that particular phrase.
Also, analog text adventures. Need to find if "zork" means anything to my local group.

Posted 13 years agoSo. Time for Decisionating about Midwest Fur Fest is nigh. If I am working that weekend it'll be before people are strictly wanting to be awake, so that is mostly out of the way.
I know of at least two people who want to go. More is preferable!

Posted 13 years agoOne of my associates 
psycosword has put in for a six-person orgy commission, and opened four of the spots to the viewing audience for free. There are enough sketched-in pillows in the background to be properly situated.

Posted 18 years agoThis apparently works now! I'm not sure why I couldn't submit journals before, but here's one to occupy space now.
I am Sparhawk, whose species is complex. I don't fit into any simple categorization ever made on the internet (unless it's a cultural one), so I definitely don't fit into FurAffinity's short list. I am not a crow! I respect 'em, but I'm way more purple than that. And have about twice as many limbs. >.>
I am of the Weird. So if I'm not making any sense, it may not have made any sense even when I was thinkin' it. This has been your disclaimer and warning.
