Napalm Riot

Now with Diablo3 coming out I am so dead in the water. I have Spore, Diablo3 & my WoW to keep me in gamer heaven only if I had the cash flow to keep it all going.

I have no money for any of my games. I am still jobless & not getting any cash flow from anything. I can't feel happy about the games when I feel so depressed about being broke. Whats worse is that I got a trip coming up, cross country with a pal next month & I can just maybe pay for that. Thats a two week trip. I feel so low right now.

We just got a new kitty too. A new Abby who's name is still up in the air. We couldn't think of Noodles name for the longest & it took a while till we all got used to it. Man I miss her.
But now I have this spaz of a kitty that I do love, who is nameless. She watching me right now because she wants something, but not telling me what. She does like the cold so I was thinking Slushy or something of that means but we also have Nanners because it's cute. I don't know.


I think I should leave my guild. Mick just started playing with me, which is super cool btw, and he even think I should leave the dorks. I'm just too nice but I should just go. I got guilds who wouldlike me to join & I'm not really getting much for staying with the guild I do have. I just want to get that DKP used. I think I will go, tonight. I just don't want to talk to any one. I don't need the added stress. That or I will wait till my trip. Nothing says ignore like a 2 week long trip.

X.X

So now I been playing with this new toy. Ok well not really a "toy" per say but it's fun. I have the free trial, soon to be upgraded. Today the soonest.
I have made about 3 creatures with the parts I am given with a free trail & I have to say I am doing rather well. I hope with the full version I can do a lot more to the look of the creature. I have some idea & draw creatures as a hobby normally so I have a lot of great ideas. One I do want to try to get close to is the Dragon Guards from WoW. They look sweet & I think after some time I can make one. I have come close to the over all shape & stance so it shouldn't be long till I have one of these killer creatures running all over killing everything in sight.
MUHAHAHAHA .... yeah, so....

Other then that I think making something really cute that lives off meat is in order. I don't like how I am currently limited with color. I have this pastel color track to use & I hope with the full version that will open up to me. I really don't like the idea of my creature limited to easter colors.


I have seen some cool ones on the Maxis site which I can get some ideas off of. I am still happy this game has come so far that it will come out for play. I was worried that they were going to shelf it, which would of been nuts. So great going EA GAMES for keeping this fine game alive. Bravo!


In other news, Diablo 3, the webiste, is not owned but Blizzard. I know this is old news but it's new to me. They were given the site by the owner so no money or trade was given. I do like this because I loved the other Diablo games & still play Diablo 2. I know a few people are waiting on a new Starcraft game, which I could say is a bit soon but good to have goals. I also like the idea Blizzard has talked about World of Diablo/Starcraft for the lovers of all the games. I would play a World of Diablo. I'd so play a Demon. More so a Amazon but I could play both. Even the idea of WoW 2 is great for me because rather then just making a new graphic jump game like EQ 2, we get a new story line that works off the old one.
I heard, heard mind you, that you can train in other languages, basic, but ya can do it with books ( like ya do with trainable skills ) and can talk to the other side. What I would like is to earn rep with other cityies on the other side. Like if I got my rep up for Stormwind I can now go in there & not get attacked. Plus I would love to see both sides doing instances. I'm tired of not finding groups because all the players are on the other side. I want to be who I wanted to be & get as much play time as the next player, am I wrong?

I'm feeling a little bit better about the new pack coming out for WoW which is WotLK. I know I have to start all over again from 70-80 getting gear & maybe some epics but there is so much I have yet to do or get keyed for. I wish it was going to be a bit longer.


What I have been hearing on my side of the tracks is EQ playing people who bash the game of WoW because of stupid reasons. It's always a EQ player too. I know WoW doesn't have a billion packs to add content but how often do you really go & look at all the content? I played EQ for 3 days & I was lucky to find the town the first time. Never did find it after that.
Plus who wants to pay every month another 40 bucks for another pack that is open to a lvl I'm not or a area I can care less about? Maybe you want to have more items that look, oh like other items! I know EQ is great for that. Every axe looks like very axe in the game. Yeah....
So stop the QQ & just deal with WoW is slower so you have a chance to catch up, play the great stuff they added, get epics & have a life. Yes you can get bored but guess what! Thats great! That means you can get up, go out & have a life. It's not like " OH MY GOD! I HAVE TO PLAY! I HAVE TO DO THIS NEW STUFF THEY JUST ADDED 2 SECONDS AGO! OH! THEY ADDED MORE & MORE IN A HOUR! OMG! ". I don't know about you but that would drive me nuts.
I think EQ players got spoiled because the company is losing players so fast they have to add more to keep the gamers with them. To keep the money flowing.

Plus I love getting the big packs, not the normal ones. I like getting CDs & fun codes so I don't want to pay 75 or more bucks to get a game every month. I can just pay for the stuff I have now why break my bank too?


Ah well. I'm a ranting.


But on a game & art note, I am doing art for people who wish to pay me, of their "toons" "players" "chars" of WoW, perhaps other games. I'm working on x-mas ornaments of the Horde Leaders. I am only making one set of these unless some one pays me for another set which would look way different. I will also get to Ally Leaders but one thing at a time. I'll post images once I am done. If you would like your guy/gal on one of these ornaments, hand painted mind you, send me a note. They are only a head shot with head piece, chest piece & shoulders. No full body shot due to limited space on the ornament. There is also space on the back if you want it to say something or want a pet on the back. Pets are extra.

It's not what you think, you dirty person. It was game I used to play when I was a kid. My pal JJ had it & I think still has it. It was like playing Mine Field but with something that would eat you. If it had 16 bit graphics I'd be shocked. I only remembered the game after looking at SnackorDie.com so I had to write about it. This wasn't the only crazy games JJ had. Another great game is Ally Cat. This was a odd game about a cat on these wild puzzle adventures. I couldn't figure some of them out but I did get rather far. I never seen that game out side JJ's house which I thought was odd. Another I don't even know the name but you had to load it via Cassettape & if you got the volume off even a little after a hour loading, you'd have to start all over again. It was a crazy wait for a 8 bit? graphic game of D&D. It wasn't really a D&D game but it reminded me of it. You could pick a class & move around a Ultima like graphic of random walls to have the game fail on you at any random point. But it was cool for a kid who only knew 3 people with home computers in the 80's which now that I think of it, was alot. I was the last kid on my block to get a computer, even a NES for that matter.
I never did get a new system after SNES unless Saga Gen came after. I don't think it did & I never could find a Saga CD to pop into it. I almost got a Dreamcast but never did have the cash for it when it was still being sold.

It's just crazy to think I played games a very small few may of played or even heard of. I never got to play major games till way later like Zelda, Mega Man & Metriod. I had Faxanadu, Legacy of the Wizard & Swords and Serpents. All NES game btw & a pain in the butt to play. I still have them & they all work. I should hook them back up & give them another go.

So yeah... I got a new HP Computer & it's freaking me out. I got the blue screen of death yesterday & my screen for some odd reason wants to beep at me when I do anything. Great... pay 2k and the thing doesn't want to work. Thank you HP.
I can't even get my old computer to talk to the new one to move my files over. Thankfully I have a IT guy living with me who I hope to the gods (of what ever at this point) will help me with my problems. Alls I wants to dos is Play WoW & Sims 2. I can care less of Sims 3, I don't have the money to keep updating. I mean the games are not that good.

What I do like is that now I have a 24 in. screen with my old 19 in. screen to the side, Duel Screens FTW! It does make my set up look awsome. Now only I could get my files.


I got to see Kung Fu Panda tonight. Super Awsome movie. Go see it... GO SEE IT NOW!


On stranger news... One of my Art Board/DA friends is starting some Porn site like Suicide Girls but with CosPlay more as a theme. I may help her but I'm not sure what I can do yet. I want to work with Costumes & hopefully I can do that. I am not a 25 year old any more so no showing the goods any more, which is sad. I yousta be hot. Now I'm a 28 year old... thing. Blah. Who wants to see that?! No one, thats who. So I'll be in the Shadows... like normal.

So nothing new. I been playing GTA 4 now & again as well as some Wii game called Okiami? I have no idea whats the name. But it has some white wolf & a little flea like guy who bosses her around. I been doing all the puzzles. Which suck at times but I get them done. The Wii Zelda game didn't piss me off so much as this game. Gah.


Also, once I came to site I went to see what photos were added & selected them... only to delete EVERY THING!!! So... theres a bug. Go fix that will you?


And last but not least.. STRONG BAD FOR THE Wii! OMG! I know it looks like one long e-mail but I wanna play it. For 8 bucks I wanna try it out some time. Comes out in July (when I'm not here dang it) for PC & Wii. That reminds me... where did I put my Cheat? He was in a box... but where did he go? Did I pack him? Did I leave em at my moms? Now I have to wonder about that... hmmm....

I just got done watching " The King of Kong " and man, do I have to say it? Billy Michell is a Jerk. I watched it & the man needs to get a life & he needs to learn it's not all about him.
If any of you have watched this, how could they not show a tape that is clear about the so called "Highs Score" of Billy Michell during the whole thing. I don't think there is even a copy of a real tape. Steve Wieb kick his butt fair & square in a open fourm. Also he (Steve) beat Billy again with a CLEAR tape, both times mind you, and I am super glad he did. I was so happy at the end.

I understand there should be keepers of things like this but come on. I mean a Ref should over see his own short-comings plus if he is a World Champ, he should be a Ref. I mean come on. Don't you think thats just unfair. Any one can call some ones High Score Bull on the count of that. To let one person toss in a Tape & not another when it's clearly shown is just nuts. This Tape stuff is whats wrong in the world. If you can't tape your self playing & the high score at the same time (two tapes are gold people) then don't do it to start with.

I know some people can't rock in a open forum. The pressure gets to them & heck if you can beat the tar out of a OLD SCHOOL game, power to ya. I used to be OK at Pac Man. I played it till our system burned out but I can not say I am a champ.
I think I seen the screen once in my life time of the End of Pac Man. Once & I don't even know who the heck was playing. I was too young to remember all of it.

So when I play now I am super rusty. Heck I can hardly play the games now. I'm lucky I can play Mario Kart on my DS. The more simple, the better I play. The more complex the puzzle, the better I play. The harder the controls & more bottons, the less I want to even try to play the game. End of that.


So now I am on this Gamer Movie kick. I have NetFlix & so I am going to see what else I can watch on-line while I can. I know there is a Gamer movie of the 80's but I can't rememeber it. It had Fred Savage I think in it. All I know is that it had Mario 3 in it & thats how I know how to skip levels I didn't know you could when I started to play the thing. I think Mario 3 is the only NES game other then Fanaxadu that I beat. i came close to beating Legacy of the Wizard but I don't think I ever got into the Dragons Lair. I know I got close but I have no idea what I was doing.


Also playing some one elses WoW account blows. I miss my Priest & want to play my Alt so badly now. I have to resend my taxes this weekend so that I can get hopefully 300 bucks. I will resart my WoW again if I get it. Hopefully I will but I am glad I can play Smash Brothers Brawl this weekend but it's going to be a lonly weekend in San Deigo, let me tell you.

So I was tossed a idea. Play some one elses account for them as they play their second account.
Hmm.
Why in the heck would any one have two accounts? Really? One main is a pain the butt why have 20 mains? It's just nutz, so I said ok. It's not my Warrior but I can play something.

So I am back but sorta. I am now playing a priest on another account & doing ok. I do miss my priest, who was like 15-17 I think. I'm currently not even 10 yet so I can't rez people. Which is super lame. I can sorta do well this time around but mine was way better. I'm not makeing money like I used to too. I normally see alot more greens pop up as I play but this time aroud it's been rather dry.


I'm still jobless how ever & I have one commission for Gaia Gold, as if thats really going to help me. But it's something & it's forcing me to use my tablet which is nice. oo bad it hurts my wrist. I'm just not used to it & it will take a while to figure how to use it with my drawing style.
When you have a habit of drawing upside down, it makes it hard to use a tablet. Very, very hard.

So for now I am lacking in SR 4ed, as our gamers are randomly gone on Fridays. I am makeing props for a "Mad max" themed Paintball event in Travis Ca., so that my friends can use them as I sit here, alone, in San Deigo. Fun I tells ya.

So.... yeah. Hopefully the Wii will come back & I can play Smash Brothers Brawl enough to know what I'm doing. Maybe I can unlock some of the guys during a weekend. Who really knows.

Oh! I am playing Mass Effect on HARD MODE. Sniper Rifle baby! I love that thing. BAM BAM! Heh, I'm evil in the game. I run over more mobs then anything. If I can't Snipe them I run them over. Very fun & I suggest you try that. Also if you never looked for Ore on a Planet, I suggest you do. Run all over the map with that thing & find Ore for cash. I find ore all the time in the weirdest of spots.
Watch out Monkeys! Here I come!

So I been away for a bit & on my trip to my mothers I get a call. My BF has lost his job and now we both are jobless.
This is one of those things you don't like to hear even if you know thats it's going to happen. A company goes under but it always shows signs before it's fall. I knew it was coming but just not so soon.

So I been telling all my WoW buddies that I will be freezing my account & will not be on for months to maybe a year. Perhaps longer if I still can't find work.
I have been looking for 3 years with no luck. It's been rather hard to frind money to buy me a candy snack when I feel down.
Change is always placed in a box when we get home so looking in the sofa for spare change is always fruitless.

So now I am looking into commissions again & thankfully I finished one. $35 bucks of a commission but it's money I didn't have before.
I know once I work games will be placed aside so I can sleep & when I can, eat something so I can hopefully get by another day.

I applyed to Staples today & went looking to see what Target had open. I didn't have anything but a sign & unhelpfull Team Members. I shall go again tomorrow with my job sheet to sit & stew at a dirty computer as I type my life away.


My WoW Buddies have been odd as I knew they would be. They can't see the game with out me being out there some where helping lowbies at 3am in the morn. They want to pay for my account but thats not whats wrong I tell them. I have to find a job & with that have limited time to do much. I'm a workaholic and sleep the rest of it away since I work so hard. I will have little time to play unless I get part time (which I rather have) and have to take even full time if thats all they have. A Job is a Job but I hope the stress won't kill me.

My BF has it a bit harder then easier. He is a IT guy who is looking all over for work. He may sit there playing his Xbox 360 but he has 10 Apps floting around waiting for people to say "Hey that one looks good" where I can meet a Manager as I walk in and perhaps get a job right there.

So... am I doomed? For now I think so.

Yes I am. I don't know how to not be one. I like helping people & man do they like to use me.

I noticed now that I am trying to lvl my alts every one is oh so busy. I am getting upset & they see the wrath of Chobee very soon...


......Very soon.

I been promised cookies yet I never get any in the mail. Lame I say. I should get some sort of cookie ship'ed to me if some one states so. I mean don't tempt me with sugar goodies unless your going to deliver!
I can mind my own in a game with none cookies but real ones you don't want to mess with. People go into a rage over sugar, more so if they are female. So don't just tempt a woman with cookies. It's just EVIL.

This is how I feel about in game loot. I went to Gruul's for the second time ever & them wonderful Warrior Sholders drop'ed. Course Druids & Priest can roll for the Epic T4 gear but I was robbed I say! How can another warrior beat my by 7 points?! I think the GMs at WoW hate me. Thats the second pair I have lost & whats worse is I lost my T4 Gloves 3 times! WTF people. I have T.5 gear in my bank & I figure it will be the T gear I will ever own.
3 years to be robbed by 7 points! GAH!

I thought getting gear in EQ was bad. Man, this blows. I hardly play with the big boys as it is, to get slaped like that is just too much.

I hope I can make some REAL cookies Wensday to calm my self down. It's kinda hard with a person paintball gun set in many places all over the kitchen. I mean really. It's not a work table. Get that crab out of there so I can make some COOKIES! Or a pie, I don't know what yet. Or maybe Sushi. I can make alot of crap if the work area for me was clean!

O.o Plus I have no D&D to look forward to anymore. It makes me wanna cry. I miss Grim, my Lizardman Barbarian with Full Plate & a Great Axe who had Leap Attack & Power Attack that rocked. The dude could rage for 12 rounds & 7 times a day. His Jump was +28 & 33 when wearing his Boots. Swim was 21, 26 with a Ring but most of all Climb was 20 as I mostly took the Full Plate Dwarf up with me. I could grapple & Bite some one if I wanted to. I was a beast but was a fun one.
Oh how I miss him. How I scared the party when I got hungry. How I rocked as I Lep'ed into the air with my Great Axe ready to kill anything in my way. Even when I made a Gnome Wizard explode when I rolled too high on a ready'ed hit. Oh so much fun.
Then I had REAL cookies on the table. I got one for great moves in the game like that one. Oh how I miss you Cookies.

Thankfully now it's Girl Scout Season so I have a box of Samoas on my desk to help me when I feel down. Perhaps I should get Thin Mints as well, hmmmm.

OK I don't get the rateing system for this site. How did I get 4 & why am I don't getting more? Is it some way for you to confuse me? I think so!

Down with Rateings!

Well on me any way. Put me back to 0 then I can me the Zero Ninja poster... Nar....

Yeah.


OK but really why do I have 4? I'm a pointless Jakalope that runs around & makes random posts. I know nothing, see nothing & never haveing a working game server. Rarr....rr....rr.....


So....
I like cheese... how bout you?

I don't know if I would like this game. I did get to read 2 books from this story line but that doesn't mean I will like it as much as the books them selfs.
There will be 4 of us to play which is nice & unnice all at once. You have one GM & 3 players. I like a 5 player game. 3 is ok but you get limited & die faster. But if you don't know the game it's kinda like D&D. You have Elves, trolls, Orks & magic. You have Humans, Guns & the normal world. Alot of crazy stuff happens even in Cyber Space. You have a team that has to work together to get jobs done. Mostly you kill stuff & blow up others. Or so I read.

I may give it a shot but I like D&D better. I have a bit more to do & pick from. PLus i was never a big fan of guns. I don't like them playing a big part in a game. It's just me. I don't like guns in life & I don't really want to worry about them in a game.
I never liked guns. I don't know why. I used to shoot them at cans when I was a kid & it seemed fun enough but as I got older I learned people shoot others for odd reasons. If it was kept to hunting & games I think I would like them more. I like swords but I think because people don't use them as often for murder they seem more fun. I don't know. I think Ren Faire kinda make them seem fun. That & Nerf Swords. Always fun.

I know they have a computer version of ShadowRun. I herd it was horrid. Nothing like the table top. I don't think any computer game can be. Theres way too much that can happen & to have all that in one easy to instal game is just nuts. I think costly too.
Maybe once I get to know some rules & see a PLayers Hand Book on it I can see if I can even get used to playing a role in such a complex & deadly game.

I been wondering about this for some time. Here I am, miding my own game & BAM I get hit from out of no where with a tell about some drama in a guild I'm not even in. I know alot of people (Horde) on my server so it's not a suprise if my name gets around but really, do I look like I care about who needs to set up a Raid while I am farming for Plans in a area that has no one but Alliance running around trying to steal my kills?
Come on now... I really have better things to do then tell some one how to get people to sign up on a web site or other to do a run. I rather smack down the little Gnome who stole my ore! The Punk!

But I do help alot of guilds with runs & from time to time with Raids. I been told now (not like the site has it up easy to read) that I can no longer help guilds with Raids like Kara or higher even if I don't get to go. Thats lame. I have to sit & wait till another week goes by before I go with my guild even if another one will take me? In no way does a guild need a DPS warrior sitting for no reason. DPS is so easy to get nowa days to have me sit doing nothing is wasteful. Just wasteful.

My vent has been limited too. Normally I have tons of Vents to pick from but now due to people haveing problems & leaving the game I have 2 Vent to pick from & one never has a person on! Why oh why do people have to be lame? Can I just get my T5 gear & have some fun? is that too much to ask?
