Deluxe entry: Ren Fests, Killer Dolls, and Learning Strategy the Math Dungeon Way
Whoa, seriously long title there.
Now, let's start with the first topic, namely, Ren Fests, as I have gone to one for the first time this year and being the cynical Internet obsessed one that I am, not only did I have incredible amounts of fun, but I also managed to notice several groups of people tend to congregate at these evens and will now list them off as I remember them.
1. LARPers
2. Power Metal fans
3. Zelda fans (seriously, I saw like two zelda shirts and one TP hat in that one acre or so of land, WTF.)
4. Otherkin
5. Otaku (Seriously, a girl with cat ears. I raged inside.)
6. Furries (A vendor was selling fox tails to attach to your pants, lol wut.)
7. Weapon fanatics
8. Goths
9. Normal respectable people
10. The entire Madd Productions Forum (it COULD happen.)
11. Pretentious "Arteests" (Seriously, 100 hundred dorras for a staff I could make myself? HAX.)
As you can see, the groups that go to Ren fests are wide and varied, and that's what made it so fun. Also, I suck at throwing knives, but now I know why people do not like crossbows in MMOs, even toy ones are hard to load. Also, my moon is a crescent moon and I'mma chargin it.
On the topic of violence, let's move on to the "killer dolls" portion of this post, and by killer dolls, I mean Rozen Maiden. It's currently one of the few animes I can stomach watching simply due to the fact of the now infamous "DESU" meme. Because of this, I wanted to get my own Suiseiseki and Souseiseki dolls, but dollfies are so incredibly expensive, so until then, I'll just have to figure out how to make my own without them looking like total crap, or falling apart. Yeah, a bunch of psuedo Victorian dolls hanging out on my dresser drawer is totally NOT creepy at all, and even if people think it is, I'll just claim that I'm a starving artist and these are my first two peices of work SO DON'T TOUCH THEM THEY'RE FRAGILE AND THEY WANT TO SCREAM DESU AND BOKU AT YOU UNTIL YOUR MIND MELTS.
Cripes, I think I might be creepier than the dolls I intend to make.
In other totally and completely unrelated news, (okay, maybe SLIGHTLY related since it's medieval and I do intend to eventually make TITTY MONSTER NAO as a doll) I have learned the true value of strategy in Mabinogi, sure preparation is needed, but in any other MMO it only matters how much HP potion you can IV into yourself to make yourself invincible. aside from the DON'T GET HIT AT ALL school of though, Math dungeon has taught me the true value of firebolt + Counter, not only are you untouchable, but at high ranks it does insane ammounts of damage, perhaps the same strategy could be applied to fireball + windmill, although it seems quite a bit more risky. When I get fireball, I'll be sure to test it out.
Long journal is long Lol.
