I'm going to assume it disappointed you as much as Wolverine almost made me walk out of the cinema before it finished. :huh:

I only saw part of death proof when it was playing at a party. it seemed pretty "out there" and not so much in a good way.
Lan cringes every time he sees a Wolverine preview. He's been convinced it looks terrible all along.

A good bit of time has passed since the z coins started being given out as rewards. After going out on some bounty runs, I looked up the coins in the official wiki and scoffed. To me, they seem a lot of work for something of little use, but I could be missing the point of them completely.
So my question is, "For what are you collecting Zaishen Coins?" :listen:

If you're not bothered by Deadpool being turned into a ripoff of Mortal Kombat's Baraka, among several other crazy changes to a number of characters, it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, I speak as someone who was seriously irritated when I found out they made Juggernaut just another mutant.
Can't really say the same for the blatantly obvious CG (even more blatant than the first X-Men, which is, ooh, going on 10 years old now?). Nobody likes sloppy special effects outside of a B-Movie. :sealed:
Oooh, good question, Dena.
Honestly? The coins are kind of a bonus. Because of the Zaishen signs, people are grouping like crazy lately.
The day of Divinity Coast, that mission outpost had two American districts. It's exciting to me to see so many older places coming to life.
I've grouped a lot lately with alliance people that I never usually get the opportunity to hang out with, and made a few new friends. The day Ilsunder was the boss bounty, Several of us from the GWO alliance grouped with people from the alliance of an old friend of mine. The group did a few VS runs afterwards - new people got to meet each other! They really hit it off well too.
It's given some good challenges too. Dzagonur Bastion is the bane of my existence in hard mode - I hate that mission. It frustrates the heck out of me. But last night? (Warning: brag ahead) Azra and I loaded up on sugar and a mysterious summoning stone, just to see how we would do. Ripped through it in under ten minutes - took down all but the monk boss in about ten seconds each. The monk boss took maybe 12 seconds. I had SO much fun, and we were both riding high from that the rest of the night, strutting around virtually high-fiving each other. Azra took a screen shot, but I forgot, so maybe he'll post it.
As far as ZCoin rewards? I'm after the big equipment bag. In the meantime I've gone for the light equipment pack to tide me over.
I like to have plenty of available inventory space when we do things, because I hate leaving stuff lying around in dungeons and whatnot. Because of that, I never carried around my extra weapons and headpieces, and got into a bad situation sometimes when I forgot to swap them out. Now Ari's got all of her headpieces and most of her weapons on hand with those 10 equipment slots. Lyra has a 10 slot equipment bag too, with all of her extra headpieces and her 600 armor.
Eventually I'll get Ari the 20 slot bag and carry around some extra armor sets. Those are well worth it to me, because they freed up an entire storage tab for me. I have more virtual money to throw around than I do real money, so it was a nice substitute for buying another storage tab.
Whew. I talk too much! (Oh! And after I have all the equipment packs I want? Creme Brulee!!)
Ack. Just checked my screenshot folder, and nothing from Dz. Not even the little green reward text. I was going to take a screen shot just as we finished, but the Elementalist bossed died before I could.
Dz is pure hell, but we made it look easy. The key seems to be having . . .redrock candy and Asura scan!. . no wait. Key seems to be the ability to split into two groups, mop up the little groups, and then quickly regroup to kill a boss. We did extremely well with two MMs, two SS and monk & rit healers. I'd flag my MM around to sorta slow down patrols, and it worked very well. Being able to kill the bosses so quick kept us from getting overwhelmed too. So yay for that.
We got a Grench off the summoning stone, but I'm not sure I ever saw it after the portal. Another goat would've been perfect.

Last night while at Gate of Madness, someone had the gall to imply Dena Deathbringer dresses slutty. Really? Dena is 21 and still as pure as the driven snow and as wholesome as American apple pie. I'm sure it was just jealousy that caused the comment as the one who said it had her thunder thighs and belly stretch marks hidden under tons of cloth. :smug:
I'm suddenly very glad I wasn't able to make it to GoM last night. Wasn't me.

14-05-2009, 16:06
I'd try to explain, but class really can't be taught. Sorry Dena, there's no help for you. :wink:
Funnily enough, although Mesmer is my main these days, my very first character in prophecies (and the first one I beat the lich with) was an Elementalist. She and her many sets of scanty 15k armor have long since been deleted back in the days before you could buy character slots. The elementalist I have now was born much later and well into my long love affair with the mesmer class. Her armor choice reflects my later maturity and refinement.
:tongue:

Ari, are you going to let Bella get away with calling me immature? Oh, heck, why ask you? Is there someone who won't stand for it?
Actually, Dena has quite an eye for different armor combinations and colors. Seeing all the gorgeous combinations he comes up with for his ele finally inspired me to try mixing and matching some sets myself, and I've been so happy with the results.
I like getting a new set of armor while Arthur is deployed...then I send him a pic of Kahlan's new scantilly clad armor :grin: I'm so mean sometimes, but its GREAT.
Come on guys, play nice. I mean, none of you will ever look as awesome as Zehi, so you're all basically squabbling over second place. Its so . . . proletariat.

As a general note: Given that I have pretty much never really be in FoW, if anybody is farming the gloom seeds, I"ll buy them from you, just let me know the price.
Dena and I had an experience that made me laugh last night. We were hanging out in Elona Reach waiting for Azra, both on our ele characters. An assassin mapped in, approached us and said something like "Hello lovely ladies." I bowed, and Dena said "Let's give him a show", and started dancing. I joined in. He /ranked us with a Phoenix, which I thought was seriously cool. Congratulated his accomplishment and asked to see it again. He complied, and danced with us for a moment.
Out of nowhere, another player mapped in, teamed up with our new friend, called Dena and I hoes, and mapped out, taking Mr. Phoenix.
Whoops, someone's girlfriend showed up.

Ha-ha, Ari, yes, that was funny and it helped take the sting away in between rounds of Elona failures. I had already forgotten about it. Glad you remembered it.
Elona failures.
That's why I just went ahead and purchased runs for my chars...didn't feel like failing over and over.
Control agro and take your time, bit easier. Minions are often a problem so its possible to leave them out. Managed to get it lastnight finally on my warrior too.

Finally stopped raining yesterday. Guess I'll go home for lunch today and mow the lawn. It would go much faster if my wife didn't have that elaborate obstacle course set up for me. I think she has planted more flowers and shrubs in these last two summers than she did all the prior 14.
She wants you to work longer outside man ;)

I am back to work today! Yippee! I was afraid my vacation would never end. It's so good to be back among my co-workers. It's also good to have structure back in my day. That going to bed whenever I felt like it, sleeping in, and having nothing planned all day was really irritating.

I went to see the movie "Up" yesterday. I enjoyed it very much so don't get turned off by the fact that it's a supposed "kiddie" movie. I actually thought it was adult enough that children might have a hard time following the story.
I'm one of those rare grouchy spoil sport types that doesn't like most of Pixar's movies. But I'm somewhat embarrassed enough to admit I'll probably watch "Up." :wave:
My kids have already seen it, I'm anxious to. It sounds very good.

From another thread:
If the weather is good, i wont be much online saturday, realy need to work on my car then. Detailing ftw!
I remember when I was young and in love with my Dodge muscle car - 360 cid, six-pack (3 Holley's on aluminum high-rise manifold), 3/4 race cam, B&M transpack, headers with Chrysler H-pipe, L-50 Mickey Thompsens on American Racing mags. Spending hours fine tuning the carbs and getting compliments on the look and sound of the car. Doing brake stands downtown on Friday and Saturday nights. Ahhhhh...
Now I have a Daewoo Lanos and a Ford F250. I have means of transportation. I don't love them. I miss my old car.
I love my means of transportation, but it's not very cool. I have a Grand Caravan with Stow N Go seating, and that makes me so happy. It's the ultimate mommy ride, and I've thanked heavens for that stow n go a hundred times. Love it. I only wish we'd sprung for the DVD players when we bought it.
If only it came with a matching Harley, right!
Well, technically it's a Harley (http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes/street/1125CR/gallery.asp). Behold my fantasy. Yes, it would be WAY too much bike for a beginning rider, so I'd have to start smaller, but someday.... (And yes, of course it would be red.)
On a randomer note? I have paint in my hair. My kid is getting braces RIGHTNOW, and I'm anxious for her and Kev to stop by and show them off after they're done. I'm supposed to print a newsletter and the Sunday bulletin today at work. The bulletin is unfinished because people have not gotten all of the information to me that I need. The newsletter is not printing because the editors haven't emailed it to me. I'm annoyed.
We are finishing up my son's bedroom tonight. I'm sitting here at work with nothing to do when I have a million things at home I need to be dealing with. Grrr.

Somewhere else you wrote that you are worried that your job might be eliminated. You better hope your boss doesn't visit this forum!
Heh. He does not. Seriously, though, that is the problem. There's just not a ton left for me to do, because they have parcelled out large parts of my job to volunteers. So it's frustrating on both ends: the worry that they're going to finish doling out my job responsibilities to free labor and let me go, and the frustration of sitting here with nothing to do.
The volunteers don't seem to be doing their tasks, though. I wonder where that will lead us?
Domitilde
25-06-2009, 19:54
It will lead to a big fat raise after they've let you go and realize that volunteers can't do your job.
Sounds perfect. I will tell them you said so first thing Tuesday.

Today is a company non-traditional holiday. I am working to provide coverage for the corporate treasury systems since the banks are open. I am sitting at my desk in jean cut-offs and a Dairy Zone T-shirt. I am bored. I am listening to XM radio and looking at my new wireless phone's guide. At least in 10 minutes I'll go to Dairy Zone for a malt and beef burger. Then back to being bored while waiting for the end of the day. And that could be a problem, too, as treasury might call it a day at 2:00 PM. That would be fine, but the pizzeria I go to on Friday's doesn't open until 4:30 PM. I don't know what to do during that time. It would be silly to try go home and then head clear across town for pizza when I am currently at the half-way point. And I don't dare install GW on my work laptop. And no one is busy in these forums. Did I mention I'm bored?
Me too! Yay! Work!

I guess with around 14,000 employees in my company, it's a little harder to be watched all the time. They block inappropriate sites, but otherwise, if a manager wants to snoop on your email or Internet activity, it requires the manager to make a very good case to corp security as to why you should be watched.
And when a female EE complained to my leader that I and the other guys would take up to two hours for lunch on certain summer days, she was told that it was no problem since we were salaried and getting our work done on time.

So, did anybody else see Warehouse 13 last night? I'm thinking about giving it a try for another couple of weeks to see how it pans out.
That said, is it me or is SciFi (syfy, what) going overboard with their attempt at relabeling?
So for Wii owners who like Final Fantasy and strategy games, My Life as a Darklord (http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/07/final_fantasy_crystal_chronicles_my_life_as_a_dark lord) is proving to be quite the good game.
Pondering a new game system, but having a hard time deciding. Price is a factor, so waiting to see if Sony cuts the PS3 price with the next Madden.
360 hasn't got any exclusives I crave, but they are cheaper. Wii has a lot of quirky fun stuff, (yay Harvest Moon), but nothing like Metal Gear, KoF XII or SCIV. -- Still the way stuff like Disgaea3 charges for DLC is a bit of a turn off too.

The DS has a huge library, if you're not opposed to handheld gaming. Plenty of Harvest Moon, Castlevanias, Square-Enix stuff, and then the Marios and Zeldas.
If you're just sticking to home consoles, then this will tell you how to decide (http://www.bspcn.com/2009/05/18/how-to-pick-a-video-game-system/).

I'm annoyed that we bought our HDTVs back when 1080p was just being offered. So like, 1080p TVs were all expensive and stuff, which made us opt for the 720p TVs we have. Don't get me wrong, after five years, they still look great, there's just no reason for me to get a PS3 and/or a Blu-Ray player as I won't get the most out of them with the TVs I have. Not to mention the TVs we bought were nice TVs, making them last a whole long time. I secretly wish the 50" LCD would meet an untimely demise so a new one could be purchased.

How to attempt to save a cactus...
I have a certain cactus that, for all of its life, has tried to grow sideways instead of straight up. I've replanted it twice over the past 4 years to try to help it straighten up, but it's been persistent in its horizontal journey.
What it used to look like. (Sorry for the lack of a better picture, it was the best and most recent I could find).
http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/gol244/1.jpg
This morning I found that it had broken off, due to some rotting and the sheer weight of the "top".
Due to their hearty nature, most cactus can just be sawed off and replanted in new dirt, where they will take root and save themselves.
Dead half.

And yes, Grown up Enzo didn't age as well nostalgia wise, but I happened to be at the target audience age the first time through, so it's a general fondness. Also, I can deal with Matrix-Enzo in exchange for bringing back Captain Capacitor.
So does anybody remember the old TV show Reboot? I was sorting through tapes to get rid of, and found my taped recordings of the show. Nostalgia-fest ensued, and I realized that Hexidecimal is probably what got my started on loving creepy-crazy things.
What a great show... remember when Enzo got old? That was pretty awesome.
Edit: Apparently Auntie didn't think so!
Reboot was/is awesome yes. I also heard there is going to be a reboot.

I saw a depressing movie tonight titled Gardens of the Night. It starred Gillian Jacobs, Tom Arnold, and John Malkovich. It dealt with children being abducted into prostitution/pornography. But I liked the song Emotional Champ by New Buffalo so much that I bought the MP3 from Amazon.

I was cleaning the gutters, raking and mulching leaves. When I went to the front of the house, I saw a big box on the front stoop. It said World Book Encyclopedia on the side. I was quite excited about that and figured my wife ordered it. She came out soon afterwards and was upset that it had arrived. She ordered it Wednesday and was told to expect 5 to 7 days shipping. It was to have been a surprise Christmas gift. I tried to cheer her up that is was still a very big surprise.

How tough can it be to find an area? I can't believe I couldn't find anyone for City of Taco or something like that last night. I went to Chantry ID1, Ari had to tell me to kneel before the statue. I ended up in Anguish something-or-another ID1, saw no one from TRUE, saw Taco City and went there only to find it was an explorable area, so I quit. /rageQuit :embarassed:

Is that really such a shock? I think my favorite show on XM radio is A State of Trance and my wife and I decided to rent some of his DVD's since we figure that will be the only way we ever get to see him. He had the singers in his show and that was nice to see the voices for once and put a face to the singing.
I also like TIËSTO (Tijs Michiel Verwest) and hi Club Life show, Solaris International by Solarstone, Trance Around The World with Above & Beyond, and Lost World by George Acosta.
I get the podcasts and listen during the day while at work, too.

Well, another trip to the ER this morning for chest pain. It came on last night which was why I didn't play and so far might not be on tonight as I have been awake since 1:30 AM in pain. I asked a question and indeed the ER doctor thinks I have a hiatal hernia. Plus my blood pressure has continued to stay high - it averaged 160/105 during the 3+ hours at the ER. So two prescriptions and a follow-up appointment with my doctor on Monday which is when he'll get an appointment with a specialist to scope out the stomach. It's been a nasty evening, night and day.

Cute looking ele who won a major award for best looking outfit would like to enjoy killing monsters with someone. Specifically, I am wanting to slaughter everything I come into contact with in Stingray Strand and Tears of the Fallen hard mode. I have been getting whipped by the fire imps in Stingray for some time. That or anyone who has done that vanquish with an ele and H/H that can share a working build for the vq would be appreciated.
Did you get your vanquishes?
If you really want to do them H/h, standard sabway probably works well enough, throw in Alesia and Claude or Dunham. But since the fire imps are the problem, you could go water for Ward vs Harm &/or Maelstrom. Or even go /Mesmer on yourself and heroes for Elemental Resistance (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elemental_Resistance) since there is little drawback on a caster (Unless you're using shield/+armor). I've used it recently, and the +40 armor really makes a difference in places like Hell's Precipice.
Anyway, with Wintersfarm over, I'm up for grouping for more stuff. But it seems like the holidays has worn everyone out.
If you still need the VQ's ill help you, but this weekend I won't be able to.
Going out to party and that party takes a while :D

No, I didn't get those two, but did finish off the desert which made me happy. I'll give that sabway a try, and if worse comes to worse, I can wait for those. Shoot, I have around 20 other areas to do including all of the southern Shiverpeaks. I am not looking forward to those areas. I thought they were nasty in NM when I mapped them. Of course, that was done without consumables which would have made it easier.
I try to say Hi and Bye when I log on andleave and when some1 logs on.
But lately I have been online but with status away. Had to do lots of stuff for xmas and new year dinner so. And with my mom being sick for 3 months now I'm on/off alot...

Don't complain to me about double posting. 10 days passed and I must be the only one willing to write about my exploits.
Last night, Yoshi and I vanquished Ice Floe. Man, that one is one nasty area. Some of the mobs are huge with two monks. Luckily, we were able to circle around two of the really big groups and come at them from a wider area which allowed us to rush in and kill a monk, then return for the other monk. BA said that was one of the worst areas. I hope so. I have all of the Shiverpeaks south from Beacon's and then the Ascalon area left. 34/54. Seems it'll never get completed. Oh, as a side note, Yoshi never had Grotto on his map, so he got that, too.
For me, the worst proph area was the Eastern Frontier, but I went in without any kind of forethought about the mass healers.

Okay, I'll try, Tom. I had a Baby Ruth candy bar a few days ago and on its wrapper it proudly announced in big bold letters that it contained 4 grams of protein. It didn't bother to mention in the same font that it contained 210 calories, around 21% RDA of fat, 28% saturated fat, around 13% salt RDA, and absolutely nothing nutritious, but it did have that little amount of protein which makes up very little % of RDA.
Doesn't matter where you start them in Ascalon, since they're all 4/4 parties. You could start from Yak's, but that is only 6/6. The walk from Yak's isn't worth it unless you have 2 people, the henchman alone aren't worth walking through that Uplands zone (unless your vanquishing it).
I'm not so fond of candy bars any more. For the calories in one, I can get a hamburger or a salad, I think.

We bought a Sleep-By-Number bed from Select Comfort Wednesday. After two nights sleep, I can say it has been the best bed I ever bought. It has a wireless control so the firmness can be adjusted at any time. I haven't had such comfortable sleeps in years. My wife likes it, too. Wish I could go home and get under the covers right now.

THE SOUND
It feels so good when you're around,
I can reach out and touch the sound
Of the rhythm of your heart.
Your smiles like raindrops falling,
Soothing the soul and calling
To the rhythm of my heart.
The sweetness of your voice
Gives my ears just one choice:
Hearing the rythm of your heart.
SOUND CHASER
The beauty of your self,
A priceless piece of wealth.
Damn, I wish it were mine!
What causes me to feel this way,
Wish I knew, I can only say,
"Must be you."
I think of you all the time,
A thought going through my mind,
Set to the rhythm of your heart.
And it causes me to say this:
"With you is heavenly bliss,
Be mine is my only wish."
CONFUSION
Sometimes it seems very right,
Sometimes it seems very wrong,
Please add a little sunlight,
It will end this silly song
Of "What shall I do?"
I hope it's right, I really do,
All I want is to be with you,
It'll make my dreams come true.
THE DREAM
For I see you in my dreams,
You and I - we are the themes,
Set to music -
Music from our hearts.
================================================== =
Eternity
Standing round recall the time
When our lives were like a rhyme.
Everything was in harmony,
Everything was for you and me,
And during that moment of peace
I thought the rest of time would cease.

Ha-ha, at least one read them.
Outside, snow rises.
Confusion, the old man stirred.

Me<>double poster of the month.
None of my subscription threads are updating the past few days. Anyone else having the same problem? If I go into subscriptions, it shows the ones with new messages, but it no longer shows under my welcome message.
I've never subscribed to any thread. It sounds too complicated.

Then how do you keep track of threads that have new messages?
They generally have a different icon thingydo than older ones. I'm not sure how it works. I just assumed it was some form of magic.

I'm told it's leprechauns.
There's a key to the icon thingydo at the bottom of most pages. :smiley:

We seem to have forgot about this thread. I'm going to sit in here since I now dislike the private one. Hooray!

I thought the private one was forgotten, too? I've cooked out on the grill each evening this week. It is so nice to be able to wear shorts and T-shirts outside.
It's pretty warm down here. I've spent most of this week cleaning my yard. It's nice to feel the sun again. - I really need to figure out this grilling thing.

It was officially too hot for me today - 80 degrees? Bleh!

It was in the low 80's here, too. Went from low 60's right to 80's, but is to drop again into 60's. Anyway, it felt good to sit outside and let the sun bake me for a few minutes.
Mail carrier forgot to put the red flag down today or else did it as an April Fool joke so I'd think the mail never came. I went out to get the Netflix movie back out so it wouldn't be in the mailbox overnight and there was mail inside.

I bought a Zen by Creative (32Gb) and really like it. Especially now that I learned how to create playlists. I have one for the single Trance songs and one for new age songs. That way, my podcasts of shows like Trance Around The World with Above & Beyond, and Solaris International bye Solar Stone (Agnelli & Nelson) don't play unless I pick them. My wife has an iPod, but for me, the Zen works fine.

You should listen to some. Soon, very soon.
It made it up to 88 today. So much for those pleasant 70s. The grass is up, so I'll probably be back to mowing next week. Yay. If I knew it was going to stay this warm, I'd go ahead and regravel the driveway, and start replacing the plumbing. But I imagine the temps will drop back down soon.

We have some flowers already blooming, the grass is turning a nice green, and the trees and shrubs are budding. I like Spring!

I had told her to get lost if she wasn't going to go swimming with Thackeray and me. So I had them, but Gwen stole them.
Today, I broke a hoe and a pick-axe, managed to give myself several blisters between my thumbs & index fingers, and I was stung twice in really inconvenient locations. Isn't Spring great?

I would hate to be tempted by a Blizzard with Fries and a Cheeseburger, like I was last Saturday.

Tempted, but I'm sure you held firm, Auntie.

Quite right. I held onto the Cheeseburger firmly with my left hand while I spooned Blizzard with my right. :laugh:
Way to be strong! I definitely approve.
Yesterday, I found out that Arli$$ has never been released on DvD. The closest they've come to releasing a Season Set is a "Best of" dvd. Bleh.
I had the good fortune of watching HBO a lot in the late 90s. The shows they featured felt different than the stuff the networks were releasing. Then 'The Sopranos' (which I liked!) and 'Sex & the city' (which confused me!) took off, and suddenly HBO started seeming like just another network (that was costing an extra $14.50 a month). I think they even had a sit-com with a laugh track there at the end. Oh well. But it is still about the only thing I miss from cable-TV.
/whimsical. :tongue:

I finally watched some of Dancing With The Stars last night. Although the women's outfits were sexy, the dancing was usually the pro doing all the moves while the "star" did fluff moves. I stopped watching after two couples, and when they had stuff other than dancing, I switched channels for a few minutes.
We've come along way since the man with the violin.
We need to recruit more NBA fans. I'm lonely.

Nah, the farm league for the NHL is the QMJHL... :wink:
It's not some sort of disease is it?

Yes, poor Azra, no NBA fans to be found...
Oh well, long as the Magic & Lakers keep winning, I'm okay.
Any Starcraft fans around? Starting yesterday (I think), if you preorder Starcraft II at Gamestop or Amazon, you get a free Beta Key!
I just preordered with Amazon... can't wait to get mine!

I've greatly wobbled back and forth on my thoughts about starcraft 2.
I really remembered liking it, but I also really remember being really really bad at it.

I remember not doing well competitively online in SC, but I feel like I did pretty good in WC3. We'll see. 4v4 has always been my favorite (that way the blame isn't mine alone!).
I'm a sucker for Blizzard's big three though (Diablo, SC, and WC (not so much WoW, but real WC). I'd love to see a Starcraft vs. Warcraft game one day.
And all the Diablo II that I've been playing recently has really got me wanting some Blizzard action.
I never played Starcraft proper. :huh: Years and years ago, an EB-games employee threw in a Starcraft demo disc with a large purchase. I don't remember if I ever tried it. I did absolutely adore WC3 though. How I miss my beloved Huntresses.

Aside from the occasional exception, RTS is a genre that I've never been able to get into.
Been playing the Lost planet 2 Demo. Fun stuff, if somewhat confusing. Pretty too.
I rented Super Street Fighter 4 lastnight, to see if it was worth dropping $36 on. At first I didn't like it cause it felt so slow compared to the games I've been playing lately. Then It got better. Then it annoyed me.
I really miss those early 90s Arcades.

Bauke got Lost Planet2 on XBox. It looks good.(But not my type of game)
