So today is my birthday, and I am now 30 years old.

The folks took me to Pizza Hut, as normal for my birthday. There were a lot of kids present given that it was a Friday night, but surprisingly, they were quite well-behaved, with only a few of them acting up. Ended up having the meaty marinara, which I usually get when I go to Pizza Hut on my ( Read more... )

Saturday had us heading over to Aunt Pat and Uncle Jess's place for Thanksgiving.

A lot of our regular folks were there, including Ann, Aunt Deedee and Uncle Dean, Aunt Betsy and her new fiance Harvey, Uncle Mike and little Mikey, Angie, Elizabeth and Sam, Aunt Elly and Uncle Keith along with Jessie and Doug. Doug brought his new son, who goes by ( Read more... )

Ledgermayne is officially history as of Friday, as I stepped back into Etheara's shoes and took the Chaos Lord down. Pretty ominous little ending cutscene too, with mention of a storm coming. Etheara is Level 32 as of this writing, with three more levels to go. I also took care of another major loose end world-wise and went through J6's area -- the ( Read more... )

So I've recently taken to soloing bosses in Adventure Quest Worlds using my character's recently maxed out Rogue class. I recently opened up a Photobucket account for the purpose of having pics to show the folks on the Solo Discussion Thread on the AQW section of the Battleon forums ( Read more... )

Had a hell of a dream this morning. An EPIC FANTASY MUSICAL dream involving Etheara, my AQW character, whose shoes I was in, and apparently set in a world other than AQW, as I didn't see anything involving other elements of the AQW-verse, such as anything related to Chaos or any of the unique monsters or characters of the game. There were two ( Read more... )

So I recently downloaded and played through 8-Bit Killer, which is basically a Wolfenstein-like FPS that aims for NES style. You play a soldier who is leading an assault against this alien mastermind called the "Master Brain" who is endeavoring to bring about a "New Dawn," which turns out to involve the annihilation of humankind. As you're not into ( Read more... )

Went shopping with the folks again. About the only thing I got other than groceries was a package of toilet paper that I saw on display as I was just getting started (since I was running out of ammunition at home). Spent close to 200 bucks and I didn't go to Barnes and Noble like that other time I was in town, so I didn't have to worry about ( Read more... )

Today is 09/09/09, which has special meaning to Cirno fans. To honor the occasion, I'm throwing up some of my favorite Cirno vids on Youtube on this page:

Touhou is a doujin videogame series that's renowned for being a shining example of danmaku or "Bullet Hell" gaming. I absolutely suck at danmaku but I've found plenty to enjoy about the series in general. Touhou is primarily a one-man project -- ZUN, the creator of the series, does everything from level design, bullet patterns, storylines, and even ( Read more... )
