Just finished my course of antibiotics for my various ailments, we'll see if they have any beneficial effects now that it's all in my system. I'm looking at a probable referral to ear, nose and throat (for the ear, obviously), but we'll see ( Read more... )

Words for you!

I took advantage of the moocards offer earlier this week, so today I received 10 shiny little half-sized business cards with various NQAH logos on one side, and some TeamPXT information (including the logo) on the other side. A really neat little idea - now if only I could get the Photo Minicards option to play nice with my ScrapBook, it ( Read more... )

In which we digress and discuss games. Yes, these still play a large part in my home life at present, occupying the idle mind with frivolity until the point of exhaustion.

My involvement with Second Life is currently on the bubble. Which is a shame, since I was just starting to get involved with the whole CoLab effort, but unfortunately my free ( Read more... )

Here's a wee collection of screenies from Guild Wars from the past few weeks. No real point, just for the sake of it.

PXT in Guild Wars

Walking into Virgin in Stirling today wasn't exactly a mistake, but then again it hasn't helped the space concerns in the Lair either. Yes, it's 5-for-30 time once again, and the latest line up consists of Scarface, Carlitos Way, Hostage, Domino and the Romancing The Stone / Jewel Of The Nile 2-pack, pushing the To-Watch figure back to a meaty 17 ( Read more... )

Just taking a brief time out from warping around the galaxy to let Guild Wars players past and present know that ANet have activated Observer Mode in the game (Details are on the official site here). With the upcoming World Championships looming, this looks like a perfect opportunity to see how the hardcore PvPers do it. I'll try this out myself ( Read more... )

Couple of quick links: For turbolord there's my Amazon Wish List, and for all of PXT there's the Dungeons & Dragons: Stormreach Stress Test event. Good luck getting in there.

Xmas shopping is done. Never again.

This little newsbit will be of interest to the PXT crew. There was talk by Mr fuzzygoth about putting together a Firefly RPG session of some sort. Well, it seems someone (namely Margaret Weis of Dragonlance fame) has seen a neato marketing opportunity and produced a Serenity RPG which for a change is completely D20-less. Haven't hunted around for reports ( Read more... )

So vampkidbaby and myself went ahead and bought a Guild Hall for the team earlier tonight. Guild Battles are now a possibility with as little as four players, since henchmen are available at the Hall. One of the players must be an Officer or better. And you can use either your RP or PvP characters, since the Hall appears on both maps. So there we go.

Why must everything I do turn out so blatantly average? Is it something I'm doing? Ok, example: half of today's day was spent putting together a spreadsheet to be used as a 'management tool' which in reality will probably never be used correctly by either skivvies or whipcrackers. This kind of thing happens all the time ( Read more... )
