Getting back in the habit.

It's been a while since I've actually role played with people. Actual role playing, not MMORPGs which lack the RPG end. I have a Ecclesiarchy Cleric rolled up for Dark Heresy. And this Cleric doesn't heal anything except heretics on the business end of his 'Endbringer' Hand Cannon. You must respect a game where a critical hit to the head can cause an explosion of gore that can blind people nearby.

In other news, AnimeBoston is only a week away, and I am already pre-registered. I've been to a couple different cons, and AB is very well organized, with plenty of room. This year the Arvard Ard Boyz are returning for another 40k megabattle. If you see some bright red Sisters of Battle tearing up the table, those are my models. :)

8 years gained.

Yea, that last post was a bit more depressing than I like to post, but it is nice getting something off of your chest that has been there for a while. It helped me think of what happened during the past 8 years.

I worked a menial job.
I nearly died.
I survived.
I got a better job.
I have friends.
I traveled.
I found a family that we thought were all killed during World War II.
I bought a home.
I live.

4 Years Gone

On the way home from work tonight I happened to think of my time in high school. I can't say they were particularly good times. Honestly, when I graduated, I think the best word to describe how I felt would be melancholy. I had kept everything bottled up, never confided in anyone, never trusted anyone. I didn't feel like I was living for anything, including myself. I don't think i even realized how much of my life was squandered until right before I graduated.

I think what sent me straight was nearly dying twice before turning 20. Perhaps in some twisted way my intestines failing me is what saved me from my melancholy.

What a messed up world this is at times.

"The Juice Is Loose!"

I might be dating myself, but remember that ad slogan for Starburst? It was used right up until OJ killed his wife and Ron Goldman. Maybe I am remembering it now because as you may have heard, OJ has run afoul with the law, this time for armed robbery with a dangerous weapon in Las Vegas.

What is the most amusing about this, is his 'defense'. See, he was taking back memorabilia that was his so he couldn't have stolen anything. Sadly, with the death of Johnny Cochran, there will be no one to create the witty rhyme to save him from jail.

"If the memorabilia's mine, there was no crime" hrm....

My BioShock demo reivew

There goes $70.

Important Life Lesson #5853

Watching 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' late at night while you are falling asleep can lead to some really messed up dreams.

Ergo Proxy, the 15 second review.

Blade Runner, with goths. Minus Harrison Ford. Or any lighting.

Tenjho Tenge, the 15 second review.

Gratuitous fan service, kids brutally beating up other kids in high school, and overly long flashback arcs. Still kinda cool.

Was that 15 seconds?

The New Phone.

My trusty W600i phone died a painful death by falling into the toilet. Don't ask. I gotta say, the new 800i from Sony is pretty sweet.

I guess the point of posting was to prove I am still kicking, just in need of more rant-worthy topics.

Maybe next time I will discuss the cycle of suck in World of Warcraft's raiding.

Warriors buffed. Druids nerfed. World ending.

That was from a Feral Druid on his alt to my Warrior. As you may have heard, they are getting the bear nerfed out of them.


Seriously, it is about time Warriors are getting something, and they are getting quite a bit. More rage, and Thunder Clap as a AOE threat maker are the 2 big things in 2.0.10. Other problems include being too vulnerable to crowd control, and magic that simply slices through armor like it wasn't there which is exacerbated by crowd control.

Seriously, I was just looking for an excuse to post since I have been woefully lacking in blogging.
