World of Warcraft Story

Someone stole my WoW account that I haven’t touched in a few months. I found out when I got some emails letting me me know that

1. They bought the expansion pack
2. They were banned for farming
3. That I can recover my account

I did so, slapped my authenticator back on, and Blizzard restored all my gear.  The farmer had been working pretty busily too.

I now have 60 Thorium and 60 Mithril, which isn’t that big of a deal, but my mining skill went from 40 to 525 and they leveled me to 83 and didn’t spend any talent points.

So my WoW account got hacked and here is what I got out of it:

• 3 levels
• A $40 expansion pack
• A free month
• maxed out mining skill
• some gold for in the game

I still am not feeling like being active in WoW, as I don’t feel like relearning how to Death Knight, or any of the other classes, as I have spent too much time in WoW and I can’t stand to deal with any of it any more.

 

Organs

A friend wondered ”What is the most rad human organ?” one day. I gave it some thinking.  I then realized that the lungs are the most rad human organ.  It’s simple. Lungs get air. Air is awesome. BAM.

He also wondered ”what is the most intense human organ?” and I know that one too, it’s the pineal gland. Yeah. You know that shit.

NanoFailMoGoMo

Is short for NanoWriMo Fail Mode Go!

The Mo at the end is for style.

I haven’t posted in over a month, I just haven’t been sure what to talk about.

I still am unsure.  But the timeline looked so sad at lonely.

Space

I really miss science fiction.

Well, it’s still there, but it’s not.

Space is dead.

We don’t care about seeing the universe, having decided it’s just boring, we don’t dream of playing god and remaking worlds in our own image.  In the real world, the future is dead. Mankind doesn’t desire to escape this gravity well we have fallen down. Excuses like costs and danger.. stupid things.  It’s fucking space, 40 years ago we had men on the moon, and now it seems we are 10 years away from the moon? The fuck is that shit? It’s so sad in a way, that we are so focused on what is in front of us, we can’t look at the bigger picture, of having humanity across the cosmos.

I want to re-ignite that dream.

Scott Pilgrim Is A Movie

Aside from being a comic book, Scott Pilgrim is a movie.  The movie is a separate entity than the comics.  The movie is a great comedy/action movie that feels like Manga brought to life.  It also uses fighting game cliches and indie music.  I enjoyed it.  It had a couple great dramatic moments, like when Scott dumped Knives, and Ramona leaving Scott.  I could relate to those moments quite well, I felt for them, as I’ve been there.

I already saw it twice, not like I was trying to, but I had 2 chances to see it, and I said yes both times.

The comic however, is different.  I can curl up with it and it’s intimate to me, it’s a special series, I feel it strongly.  It’s an amazing series.  It’s about more than just love and beating the exs to me.  It’s about trying to belong and find happiness.   It’s about trying to get past yourself and being a better person.  It’s still about love and action, but.. just something about it feels true to me, I’m still going to bust out my copies of it years from now.

Maps

Is a pretty rad song.

Just listen to Karen’s voice.

The sound of her crying ‘They don’t love you like I love you’

It’s a powerful song.

I don’t know what it’s about, I don’t care what it’s about.  To me it’s about losing something, and it’s an amazing song.

As music is about the listener, you may think Maps is about something else, Karen O. can say it’s about something else, I don’t care.  I take it my way and I will hold it dear to me.  Music is what we make of it, and I am making the song to be about loss.

So It Ends

All good things must come to an end.

So it goes with the woman I loved.

It’s not as bad as it could be.

There is some major feelings of loss, it’s not just that I miss her, but I think about what things could be.

I think of all the days and nights and things that were to be the future, a future that no longer exists.

Like the trip to Ceder Point, that was going to happen and now it isn’t.

The past is still there, all that was, but there is no longer what will be.  Things are dead, and I am still standing.

Rock Band RPG

Rock Band 3 was announced today.

It can handle 7 players.

I got the idea to combine playing Rock Band and Tabletop RPGs.  See, my D&D group digs Rock Band, and we may end up with a copy of the 3rd game to play.  So instead of having basically 2 gears, either dice or Rock Band, why not integrate the 2?

Famous Rock Band travels the world playing concerts and fighting evil/solving mysteries.  My main inspirations are Metalocalypse , The Amazing Joy Buzzards, Brutal Legend and Adventure Time.  I also want to have players arguing over what songs to play in-character and bicker over things.

I imagine the things they deal with to be over the top and a bit silly, such as running away from hordes of Fans… that have been turned into Zombies due to the magic of an evil Wizard.  I also want the characters to a bit over the top, like a guy who can headbang so well, his forehead is his primary attack, or a Keyboardist who can hack the Gibson, a character who is such a spoiled popstar they fight via sending a horde of fans into combat in their stead.  A guitar-player who also wields an Axe to murder dudes en masse.  The whole time the band is relaxed and generally taking things in stride, except maybe a character who has common sense.

Twitter

I use twitter.

Kind of.

I follow a few amusing/cool people on there, and some people I know.  I look at it to get a sense of what’s going on.  I don’t take part in the main game of twitter, posting things, #tagging, following trends, follow-fridays or even really @people.  As I tend to not get responses, and that makes me feel really awkward, as there is a conversation going on, and I say my thing and I am ignored, I am not even sure it’s intentional, but I feel so bad about it, and my soul fills with angst.

So I don’t post often, as no one cares.

Sort of like this blog.

But here I can use the excuse that I am trying to make posts for my own good.

Munchkin

Is a game.

A game involving cards.

A game that is based around RPG tropes to be a fun game based around the idea of trying to have the most awesome stuff.

A game where the 2nd idea is to screw other players.

A game that is quite fun due to that.

A game with funny cards.

A game that also plays faster the more the group gets how to play.

A game that goes great with drinks.
