Anoche despues de terminar las daylies del evento de thanksgiving, fui a un run al dungeon mencionado. Fui con mi compa Gsquall. Era la primera ves que iba a un dungeon abierto. Me agrado mucho el hecho de poder usar mi montura en un dungeon XD.

Acabamos en media hora el run, y no paso a mayores. Como siempre cuando voy con el, el mata y yo looteo. Y saque equipo bueno para mis 2 aspectos de Dsvacalala.

Esta noche queria ir de nuevo pero se me olvido que ayer tenia que haber pagado. Y hoy tengo la cuenta congelada XD. Lo que mas me pesa es perder los 12k de exp aproximada, que me dan por las daylies del evento de accion de gracias. Y que los ganas nada mas por cocinar. Pero bueno sin llorar.

Mas noche pagare o hare que alguien lo pague por mi (@coldalchemy te estoy viendo).

Para estas noches sin juegos, agradezco al FSM o MEV en español, que tengo mucho Anime en pendiente.

Vor zwei Tagen hat mich Eva erneut beim Questen unterstützt. Nach dem erfolgreiche Absolvieren der Unteren Schwarzfelsspitze

hat Witti sich uns angeschlossen, um mit uns beiden gemeinsam die Obere Schwarzfelsspitze zu meistern.

It is that time of year, here in this part of the world, to give thanks for, well, everything. Gratitude is an incredible force in my life. I have been given the opportunity to do, be and explore so much in my life, especially over the last year and a half. I often joke about thanking certain people for “getting me into this” or pointing me down this road or showing me just how good it feels. This week, however, I am making it a point to honestly thank those people who have enabled me to live this life. There are a lot of people who helped me get this far, and who constantly encourage me to keep going. There are also people that I am grateful to, who have no idea where their support and teaching has allowed me to go. I thank them to, though more quietly and tactfully.

I am grateful to my husband for taking this journey with me. I am grateful to the one who took us to our first demonstration. I am grateful to the one who invited us to our first poly meeting. I am grateful to the one who invited us to our first dungeon and hosted my first kinky birthday celebration. I am grateful to the one who took me to my first Practice. I am grateful to the one who taught me the love of rope and the joy of suspension. I am grateful to the one who showed me how beautiful I am. I am grateful to those who welcomed us into this community. I am grateful to those who have brought love into my family. I am grateful to those who have taught me about myself. I am grateful to those who have accepted who I am. I am grateful to those who have listened and those who have offered advice. I am grateful to live in a time and a place where I can live my life however I chose.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Jeg forsøger lige at kickstarte denne ellers kuldsejlede blog ud fra devisen “kortere og hyppigere indlæg” med en anbefaling af den franske fantasy-humor-serie Dungeon af Lewis Trondheim, Joann Sfar et al.

Serien, der tæller masser af bind selv på engelsk, er stærkt vanedannende. Der er flere underserier under overskriften Dungeon og til sammen danner de en stor historie om titlens fangekældre og borg og dens mærkelige og fantasiske indbyggere, fjender, familier og så videre.

Stilen er sjov uden at gå ud over historiens grundlæggende tiltrækkende elementet. Det er fantasy med streg under fantasi, så det vrimler med originale skabninger, der ikke bare er hentet ud af Ringenes Herre eller d&d, skønt der selvsagt er mere eller mindre direkte referencer til begge.

Der skiftes tegner i de forskellige serier, men alle tegnere er dygtige og sjove – ingen nævnt, ingen glemt.

PS: gå for øvrigt ind og se Ponyo på klippen ved havet – og tag gerne et femårigt barn med. Det er en skøn film om venskab, familie og fantasi

Bei meinem gestrigen Besuch in den Schwarzfelstiefen, bei dem Eva mich erneut begleitet hat, habe ich zwei rare Items bekommen, von denen ich durchaus provitieren kann.
Es handelt sich dabei um den Hammer aus Lavagestein und die Beinplatten des ewigen Wächters.

Im direkten Anschluss an Zul’Gurub hat mich die liebe Eva in die Schwarzfelstiefen begleitet.
Nach einigen Stunden Aufenthalt in dieser riesigen Ini standen wir vor dem Imperator Dagran Thaurissan, um ihn zum Schweigen zu bringen. Nach der harten Arbeit musste es sich der gute Nostâroi auch erstmal auf dem Thron des Imperators gemütlich machen. ^^

Letzten Mittwoch hat sich meine Gildenmeisterin Eva wieder etwas Zeit für mich genommen und mich durch den Dungeon Der Versunkene Tempel, welcher im Zentrum der Sümpfe des Elends (Östliche Königreiche) liegt, gezogen.

btw: Kurz vor Betreten des Tempels steckte mein Draenei Paladin in einem feschen Hasenkostüm und betätigte den Ruhestein…

So, I want to share with you some cool events from the last adventure i was game leading. The adventure is called Tomb of Regrets. The name and the location of the adventure is directly inspired by the dnd Tomb of Horror and Tomb of Regrets also has a lot of puzzles. The story on the other hand is inpired by Planescape:Torment and my own ideas about life.

The adventure is set in a dark and cold underground building/dungeon where there are many rooms and many doors which requires many different keys and different skills to get into and through.  There is a lot a magic in the dungeon but the magic is not appearant but has to be discoverred rather. And of course there are some monsters in the dungeon.

The first highlight of the game was in the beginning. The playing character started in a small room which had two wooden doors and one stone massive stone door. He found that only one of them was opened so he carefully opened it up, holding a torch in his right hand, to peek inside the next room. He could not see anyone in the next room but unfortunately he had not opened the door enough to see that there was a walking skeleton in the room. So he opened the door fully and to his surprise this skeleton jumped at him first trying to bash him with his shield, which missed, and then stab him with a sword, which also missed. The playing character now did a very nifty thing. He made an attempt to grab the skeleton’s ribs with his both hands, and after he did his roll (1d10 + Strength + Agility) he managed to do so. He then tried to pull the ribs out of their cage and did so with a successful strength check but the bones did not loosen completely. While doing this the skeleton could not hold his body up any longer and so fell forward until its head was between the arms of the playing character. While falling forward the skeleton swinged his sword towards the head of the playing character but he dodged it gracefully and reacted with a right swing with his fist against the skeleton head and made a critical hit. The impact was so forceful that the skeletons head flew off its body and the rest of the bones piled up on the floor except for one bone which the playing character held in his hand. This rib bone he later sharpened and used as a lock pick=)

There was more spectacular fights but that is another story…

Thanks for reading,
Andreas

Nördlich von Tokyo in Saitama verläuft das Tokyo “G-Cans” Projekt: eine Reihe von riesigen Untergrund-Gewölben, die im Falle einer Überflutung der lokalen Flüsse, das Wasser aufnehmen und in ihren gigantischen Hallen stauen sollen.

Ich hatte vor einer Weile mal “Tokyo” und “blog” gegoogelt, um mich über die Stadt ein wenig zu informieren. Ich kam da unter anderem auf den sehr lesenswerten BLDGBLOG (Building-Blog), der sich mit fantastischer und innovativer Architektur auseinandersetzt. Ein Artikel aus dem Jahre 2005 beschreibt nun die “Pillars of Tokyo”, mit Fotos, die mich neugierig machten:

Quelle: BLDGBLOG / G-Cans Project

In den Kommentaren unter dem Artikel munkelt man schon:

Anonymous David Knight said…

I think these are fakes.

Ich wollte mehr wissen, und fragte bei der Redaktion nach, für die ich hier arbeite. Die wussten auch nicht wirklich weiter, wollten mich aber auf dem Laufenden halten, wenn etwas dazu reinkommen sollte. Beruhigt wand ich mich anderen Dingen zu.

Ich hab hier eine Japanerin als Sprachpartner, ich bring ihr Deutsch bei, und sie mir Japanisch. Sie ist Architektin von Beruf und dementsprechend an solchen Gebäude interessiert. Zufällig hatte sie nun vom Tag der offenen (Keller)Tür von diesem Gewölbe gehört, und sie lud mich ein mitzukommen.

Ich überlegte nicht lange.

In einem wirklich heftigen Regen machten wir uns auf nach Saitama.

Saitama liegt ungefähr eine Zugstunde von Tokyo entfernt, auch wenn es immer noch zum Gebiet “Greater Tokyo” gezählt wird. Viele Pendler wohnen dort, weshalb die deutsche Wikipedia Saitama putzigerweise als “eine große Schlafstadt für die Metropole” bezeichnet.

An diesem Tag gab es auch einen kostenlosen Shuttle-Bus, direkt zum Gewölbe. Der Andrang war dementsprechend groß.

Die Wartezeiten waren allerdings überraschen kurz. Es passten halt wirklich genug Leute auf einmal hinein. Nebenan war eine Karaoke-Bar, deren Tür offenstand. Eine Japanerin, die hörbare Probleme hatte den Ton zu halten, sorgte für die musikalische Untermalung.

Das Gebäude oben sieht ziemlich unscheinbar aus, interessanter wird es, wenn man die 100 Stufen in einem kahlen Beton-Gang hinuntergeht:

Direkt links davon begann schon das Gewölbe:

(größere Ansicht)

Der eingangs erwähnte Regen drang auch in die Tiefen vor und machte aus dem staubigen Boden einen einzigen großen Spiegel.

Über 60m tief in der Erde und über 25m hoch spannt sich die Decke über steinerne Riesensäulen.

Alle hatten ihre Kameras dabei, um auch nur einen pixeligen Bruchteil dieses gigantischen Apparats in ihrem kleinen Display mit nach Hause zu nehmen.

Nun ist das hier Japan, und so ganz ohne eine kleine Prise WTF?! geht es selbst hier unten nicht.
So gab es eine kleine Musik-Kombo, die Weihnachtslieder(!) spielte:

(coole Akustik im übrigen)

Und es lagen auch ein paar Manga-Zeichnungen rum, die mit kleinen Ninjas(!) die Geschichte von dem Gebäude erzählten.

Ohne die Architektin als meine Begleitung (auf dem Foto oben in der Mitte) wär ich allerdings recht aufgeschmissen gewesen, denn es gab absolut gar keine englischen Hinweise oder Übersetzungen. Ich hätte auch nicht gewusst, dass es eine kostenlose Shuttle-Bus Verbindung gibt. Also nochmal vielen Dank an dieser Stelle!

Ich musste, während ich da unten war, oft an den Klassiker “Metropolis” von Fritz Lang denken (grundsätzlich seitdem ich in Tokyo bin fühle ich mich oft an die dort dargestellte Gigantomanie und durchstrukturierte Gesellschaft erinnert….). Wenn man die Fotos schwarz-weiß macht, fällt es noch eher auf, finde ich.

Eine(!) Frau hatte es sich nun zur Aufgabe gemacht, das ganze Wasser zu verteilen und den Boden zu säubern. Sie sauste nun mit ihrem Besen hin und her:

Mit purer Begeisterung:

Wie ein Mensch allein das Ganze Ding säubern will ist mir schleierhaft, wir sind doch so klein verglichen mit diesen riesigen Beton-Säulen.

Die Architektin wollte am liebsten ewig dort bleiben. Doch irgendwann war die Speicherkarte voll und die Motive varrierten nicht sonderlich. Wir gingen also wieder die 100 Stufen hoch.
Draußen hatte der Regen inzwischen aufgehört und es fand ein Matsuri statt. Die Veranstalter müssen wohl geglaubt haben, dass ein riesiges Gebäude alleine nicht genügend Unterhaltungspotential hat, und deswegen haben sie ein paar Tänzer angeheuert und Fressbuden aufgestellt. Und ähm… in die Jahre gekommene Maids:

Die Kiddies fandens toll.

Und ich ebenso. Endlich wieder Yakisoba!

Some DMs obsess over the ecology of their dungeons – making sure every monster makes sense. Unfortunately, unless you take some pains, you’ll have few large predators. And those are what make the dungeon interesting!

I have a short process by which I can populate a dungeon and have it usually make sense.

The monsters must be Underworld types, or else from the aboveground terrain.
Where else did they come from? Humanoids can travel great distances for their own reasons, but finding a deer in the upper level of a desert dungeon just seems weird.

Make sure they can move around
You want locked doors, because those are fun. And you want traps, for the same reason. But both of these impede the movement of your monsters through the dungeon. You have to assume that if two monsters pass in a narrow corridor they might want to attack each other.

So you need most paths through your dungeon to be open, and you want multiple paths among the same areas. It helps to include small tunnels and pipes that the PCs can use if they have shrinking magic or an expendable Wizard’s familiar, but mostly are used only by tiny monsters.

Start with the plants
The basic food your monsters will eat are plants. Plants can thrive off fertilizer in the form of slain monsters or dead plant material, or just magic and the foul Underworld vapors. Plants there for color include moss, lichen, mushrooms, slime, small ferns, etc. These can be luminescent, taste good, be nutritious for PCs, or maybe are just crummy plants with no good use.

Even if an area is closed off by doors there will be plants there.

Vermin live off the plants
Vermin include spiders, tiny lizards, roaches, snakes, flies, frogs, caterpillars, worms, centipedes, beetles, bats, moles, rats, etc. These eat plants or other vermin. You also don’t need to worry about where they come from unless

Even if an area is closed off by doors there may be many vermin there. But they need a larger space with plenty of plants and other vermin around.

Small monsters live off the vermin and plants
Small herbivorous monsters and small predators will eat plants or vermin, and the carnivores may eat other small monsters. These include the larger snakes, frogs, anything with 1-2 HD really.

These small monsters cannot slip under doors or through tiny cracks. They need small but visible pipes and tunnels to sneak around, or a quite large enclosed area with many plants and vermin, and possibly other small monsters.

Large predators live off small monsters
Large predators (the size of a wolf or bear) will eat small monsters and rarely vermin. Large herbivores don’t tend to survive dungeon life unless they have a way to escape (flight and ceiling space to hide in, or underwater).

Large predators can move through areas the PCs can move through. This is the main reason why you want open/broken doors or just open archways instead of closed and locked doors. Large predators also tend to eat an area clean if they’re trapped in there, and so need to be mobile.

Non-Eating Creatures
Some creatures don’t need to eat. These include Undead, Golems, and some others. It’s worthwhile to scatter these creature types around to pad out the monster density without increasing the large predator ecosystem burden.

Summary
Decide what large predators you want in the dungeon. Then add dungeon space and fill it out with small monsters of little consequence. Add to room descriptions information about plants and vermin that will likely be present. Flesh out your random encounter tables with these non-combat encounters.

When you stick a monster in a room, ask how it got there, where it can go next, and what happens when it sits around for a few weeks. For intelligent monsters, ask yourself why it’s there and what changes it will make.

Alternate Ideas
The Deepspawn was created strictly to feed the large predators in the dungeon. Whatever it eats, it will birth in the future. So if it eats a deer, it will spit out deer every few days. This, to me, seems a little too weird to use more than once ever.

In real life salmon swim from streams down to the ocean, eat a bunch of ocean food, then swim upstream again to spawn and die. Their babies live in the stream for a couple years and then swim out to the ocean. This cycle brings nutrients from the ocean back inland and enriches the ecosystem of the stream and areas around it. Consider using monsters that leave the dungeon to hunt. Predators moving from level to level will help move nutrients (and treasure) around.

A profusion of plant life sustained by magic or the Underworld can support a huge small vermin population. Small monsters hang around these “watering hole” areas. This basis should be present in any dungeon with an ecosystem. If you habitually include it, the presence of large predators becomes easy to explain. If the dungeon entrance is a great cave shaft or well covered in vegitation, and the floor of the entrance is teeming with life, it could support the whole first dungeon level’s predators.

Monsters that eat rocks give a reason for more dungeon spaces and also aren’t an ecosystem burden. They can also create environmental hazards (cave-ins, unstable floors) and pathways around the dungeon for small monsters.

The gal and I just came back from the GTA Rope Social, a monthly event in which kinky folk get together to fuck around with rope: a demo, some hands-on practice and some socializing. It’s not a play party, no scenes, just… practice.

The people out and about in the kink scene are very gregarious, but it’s a bit of departure for me. I find myself have to balance my shy, introverted tendencies with the desire to get out there and meet people. It’s getting easier, though, and it turns out that, as well as getting my rocks off, it’s having a therapeutic effect for latent social anxieties.

We’ve been going to a few munches with a group called Toronto TNG and meeting some cool people. A couple months back we went to a private play party at someone’s house, a friend having got us on the guest list. That was pretty strange, not entirely enjoyable. We chose to go because of the invite and the opportunity to break the ice of playing in public: it was a femdom party, and we don’t have a D/S dynamic in our relationship. Also, my gal’s a bit reticent when it comes to taking the reins, so I was having to whisper shit to tell her what to do while trying to make it look like her idea — house rules states that men were not supposed to speak out of turn, take a domineering role, etc. We also tried playing in one of the dungeon play spaces, but found people crowding too close while waiting for their turn, talking too loudly about taxes and home renos, and generally being inconsiderate douchebags. Tacky! But good to get out and demystify some of this world of public kink.

In October we went to NorthBound Leather’s Tribe party; if you live in Toronto, you’ve doubtless seen the flyers featuring a guy in a black leather, spiked hood posted all over town. It’s the world’s single biggest fetish party, hosted at the Sound Academy and with over 4,000 in attendance. My gal said it reminded her a lot of Fashion Cares: snazzy DJ, massive and elaborate fashion show, booze and dancing. Seems that, for a lot of people, “fetish” is a matter of style rather than sexual practice: a lot of people there, especially the gay men, were decked out in leather harnesses and whatnot but expressed ambivalence about kinky sex. There was a public play space set up there, and we spent some time there, joined by a friend who lent some helping hands. It’s incredible to see the range of outfits and personae that people adopt at an event of this scale: wildly creative, totally banal, formulaic, original, slutty, uptight, classy — it’s quite the carnival.

We’ve also been playing privately with a third. Not going to get too much into that here, other than to say it’s been a great experience. While I’m touched by all the concerned friends who think that bringing a third to bed is dropping a bomb in the relationship, I assure you that the worry is unfounded. The partner has been wonderful and has shared our curiosity and willingness to explore the dynamics of three-way play and sex, and I’m delighted to report that it’s been going every bit as well as I had hoped.

The challenge in coming months will be to balance interest and growing commitment to the scene with work, school and life — not to mention the impending return to schooltown in January for the next bout of learnin’.

Edit (19 November): there was a glitch when I first posted this blog and the line “We chose to go because of the invite and the opportunity to break the ice of playing in public” was repeated four times at the bottom of the post. Odd, and a little eerie, that that line amongst all the others should have been chosen and repeated like some creepy mantra.

Hoy lunes 16 de noviembre del 2009, se realizo la primera dungeon (instancia) como clan, en esta ocasión fue el dungeron ubicado en stormwind (ventromenta), ciudad de los humanos.

Espero que como clan sean muchas más las oportunidades que tengamos de compartir y vivir aventuras como la de hoy.

El objetivo de este post era dejar un vestigio de nuestra primera incursión como clan , lamentablemente olvide sacar foto de ese momento por lo cual pido mil disculpas, no se repetirá…

Recently some friends of mine have become a bit more active playing WoW.  This has, in turn, provided me with more structure when I play WoW.  We don’t have anything formal scheduled but we do like to run the heroic daily, regular daily, BG daily and maybe a quick heroic ToC whenever we can.  It’s been fun and I’ve made significant progress on my gear via emblems.  Sadly there isn’t any gear in heroics that are useful to me (especially my druid) but I’ve been tweaking my tanking gear with upgrades from conquest and triumph.  (hurray for 2 piece T8.5 bonus)

While I sit here and reminisce about my recent gaming accomplishments and what has provided me with the most entertainment I notice that WoW is pretty short on the list.  I play WoW more than any of my other games solely due to the diversity of things I get to do.  On a daily basis there are my crafting cool downs (epic gem transmute, moonshroud etc) there are the profession quests (fishing, cooking, JC etc) and a plethora of other things I can do to occupy my time.

When I’m not on WoW what do I prefer to play?  Rock Band, of course.  I’m pushing myself into expert drums rather rigorously these days.  I refuse to play on hard when I play by myself.  That isn’t to say that I can play all the songs on expert but rather I play the easier songs so that I can force myself into the expert mindset.  When I play with others I often down-grade to hard to ensure we can play all the songs we want – and survive!  Guitar, on the other hand, has become my formitable bread-and-butter.  I’m at the point where I can beat almost every song on expert – and beat them convincingly.  That is, my worst case scenarios end up being about 85% or so, and the vast majority of songs end up being above 90%.

The list of songs that I can’t beat have shortened considerably.  I recently beat Green Grass and High Tides, which took about 3 hours of back-to-back attempts to do.  Vicious!  The list has widdled it’s way down to 5.

Painkiller – I’m convinced I can beat this now I just haven’t tried in a very long time.

Panic Attack – This is my current project.  I’ve spent about 1 hour with it and am fully confident I will command and conquer on my next set of solid attempts (damn that organ solo).

Warriors of Time – Does the solo need to be that long, fast and difficult?  Really?  I honestly can’t foresee myself completing this without a solid afternoon of attempts.  It’s cool though because it’s a great song and fun to play.

Snow, Hey Oh! – Can someone explain how this isn’t a tier 7 song?  Mother of some-other-son-of-a-pain…

Visions – Whoever suggested this song as mandatory in order to complete the endless setlist needs to have a vice grip attached to their balls (or punched in the boob if it was a girl).  Speaking completely from the music theory perspective this song is terrible.  There is no well defined beat, melody or harmony.  It’s composition is sloppy and it’s just a shitty song to play.  Some chick just grumbles into the mic for 4 minutes and the guitarist just hits random strings…not to mention what the drummer is doing…

Other than that I’ve downed every other song (that I have) on expert.  I’m sure there are some DLC songs that would be very challenging but I haven’t come across any that sounded appealing to me.  It’s sad how a great deal of the very challenging songs consist of people just screaming at the mic.  Perhaps I’m getting too old but when it comes to music I’d like to have feelings aroused.  The songs I end up liking are songs that I find moving – either by lyric or note.  Screaming incomprehensible words means very little to me.

When thinking back on what I’ve done, as far as gaming goes, in the last few weeks I must admit that Rock Band sticks out as the game I’ve had far more fun playing.  Why is it that I choose to spend so much more time on WoW?  A mystery…

C’est un cadeau de Noël avant l’heure que nous offre Cyanide. Jeudi 29 octobre, les développeurs français ont livré une nouvelle mise à jour de Dungeon Party, la plus complète depuis la sortie du jeu en mai dernier. Trois nouveaux personnages, un nouvel environnement et plus d’une dizaine de donjons ont fait leur apparition. Et même avec un nouveau mode de jeu et plusieurs variantes, Dungeon Party garde son concept d’origine : du fun, de l’action, et une rapide addiction.

L'ingénieur : une nouvelle classe d'anti-héros tout aussi désopilante que les autres.

Après le barde, c’est donc au tour de la cavalière, de l’amazone et de l’ingénieur de rejoindre le magicien, le voleur et le bourreau. Le principe reste inchangé : une joyeuse équipe de bras cassés devra donc arpenter des donjons pour charmer et capturer un trésor, et le ramener dans leur camp. Un nouvel environnement, Las Vegas et ses casinos, vient s’ajouter au château de Dracula, à la pyramide égyptienne et à la caverne des pirates. En tout, pas moins de dix cartes débarquent dans cette nouvelle mise à jour – v1.0.1.0. pour les intimes – ce qui double le nombre de donjons.

Un nouveau mode de jeu, ʺcapture de trésorsʺ, est d’ores et déjà disponible, que quatre variantes de jeu – aussi délirantes que le jeu lui-même – viennent compléter. Mais la principale amélioration réside dans l’éditeur de donjons. Ainsi, chaque joueur, s’il désire y consacrer un peu de temps, pourra créer ses propres cartes et les faire partager à la communauté. Une très bonne initiative de la part de Cyanide, qui enrichit son jeu multijoueur d’un nouvel intérêt. De plus, Dungeon party conserve son modèle économique : de la gratuité pour jouer, et juste quelques pépettes à dépenser si l’on désire customiser son avatar.

I guess I never posted about it here, but Mik has my back, covering our very fun world building experience with Dawn of Worlds. When I stumbled across How to Host a Dungeon, I was reminded of that and went ahead and picked up the PDF copy for $5. It’s less interactive than Dawn of Worlds, being more of a system which generates a random fantasy dungeon, but does so via the chronological history of the region. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but it looks fun.

Not really looking foward to anything this patch offers, Neo City (a Theme Dungeon just like Mushroom Castle) requires you to hunt for an untradeble rare item to enter and you need to be in a party of 2, plus you loose the item after entering! -.-

Kerning Square includes a range of monsters between levels 30~50 (all are nerfed from Taipei 101 world tour area) and it looks like a good training area for them levels, so that won’t be much use for me.

Also in one week time something special happens to this blog…. =D

Aggiornata la nostra quest di D&D; per leggerla clikkate qui! e buona lettura; spero vi piaccia e vi faccia vivere la nostra storia così come l’abbiam vissuta noi in quei bei momenti di gioco!

Hey guys! Sorry about the lateness of the post, I was completely swamped with Bio studying and finishing my whole essay (it is finally done!!!!!), but now i have no homework and it’s time for a blog. Actually, one more thing, the next post will still be saturday, it might be shorter than usual but it will be there!

Well, I had mentioned in an old post that I had bought a wow card but hadn’t inserted the key thingy, well since my homework was taken it down a notch I’m playing wow again!!! I’m pumped to be back, have been craving it (sad i know). If anyone is interested in questing or just messing around, my server is Eonar, if you are on the same server leave a comment and maybe we can meet up in game! Another exciting WoW related topic is the upcoming patch, they have redone the dungeon/lfg interface and it seems pretty sweet, cool thing for me is cross realm grouping within your battle group. Check it here.

On a school related note, in my computer engineering class we just got a project that involves a very old apple computer running os 9, if anyone has or still uses OS 9 information about basic stuff would help, I’m a PC and don’t know much more than the mouse has only one button.

Since Halloween is a day away, and my mom says I’m far to old to go trick 0r treating, I want to know what you guys are going to be! I think you can put a picture in a comment but I’m not sure, if not, just tell me in good ol’ fashion words.

On a sadder topic, a girl from my highschool is in Kingston hospital, and her condition is getter worse, I heard recently that her kidneys were failing. Her name is Brittany, I have never met her, but I  just want her to know that she has to keep fighting this.

Sorry again for the late post!

Upcoming post tomorrow and I might be doing a video of me scaring people and upload it to youtube, so look out for it.

Peace.

Basically the mouse we were using.

Exact same keyboard we used.

This was found in the computer lab..It’s Portable!

This Article has nothing to do with naked women...

If Age of Conan could be transposed into a human being, it would probably call you up at two in the morning, drunk, and wondering why you dumped it so long ago. Whenever it phones up, it has brand new explanations for why we should take it back, new incentives we may not have had several months prior, and new tricks it learned that it can’t wait to show us.

But let’s keep this about the game, shall we? Recently Funcom launched a slew of price reductions on the game, and its subscription rate. The boxed copy currently runs you around twenty dollars USD, and multi-month subscriptions were slashed, up to 45% cheaper as you increase in time prepaid.

Is it working?

“I can’t comment on any numbers,”
-Erling Ellingson

Gee…Thanks, Erling, chief spokesperson for Funcom.

What Funcom can tell us, however, is that the updates have been a huge success at least with the current players. Funcom also launched a veteran system recently, where players accumulate points for each month of subscription, that increases incrementally the longer you sustain a subscription. Funcom is continuing to address concerns of content gaps, and the title has its first expansion pack in the works: Rise of the Godslayer.

Here’s hoping this helps Age of Conan’s subscriber numbers. Otherwise, Funcom can always make the title freemium, offer a free basic version with a paid upgrade, similar to that of Anarchy Online. Doing so might entice more people into putting a 30 gigabyte game on their system.
