We lost a ferret tonight. Not fun. Ferrets, for all their small furry fun, can not just die like other pets... they have to cry and scream for hours before they pass on. I can not tell you how much of an impact that has on a person... it is worse than watching a family member cross over. This is why I swore to never own another ferret... ever.

A dear friend of mine has a new blog, and invited me to look. As it turns out, it is hosted on BlogSpot. So, I had to go revisit mine. Hehe, had forgotten my user name. Oh well, back again. However my life is so boring these days I do not know how much I will post.

It used to be all about the gaming. Or reading about gaming. Or looking for ways to make my gaming more efficient. I've been WoW-free for over 6 months. I have it on a USB stick, for super-fast reinstall should I wish to, but I've just had no desire. Matter of fact, I have avoided any online gaming since my departure from WoW. The last couple months, most of my time is spent on NetFlix,

When I started this blog, the intent was I might talk about MMORPGs, or politics, or hell... even religion. Since my departure over the last few years, I've really lost interest in all three subjects. So, not sure what direction this blog is going to go. Most likely it will be something along personal lines, but I am still not certain.I'll at least try to keep it entertaining... but I make not

Since the beginning of this blog, I've made a massive 77 cents from the ads. I just wish I knew how to get rid of them.

I got two bitches to air tonight... one, is the ads here. I have tried to remove them, and Goggle is being a dick about it.The other, I had to do back flips to get logged into my account. Why the hell should it be so hard? But, then I suppose the rest of my life requires effort too....Oh well.

Well, I've just about sworn off MMORPGs. I still have an active WoW account, but I've not been on it in nearly a week. I canceled my EvE Online account, and will eat glass before I ever play CoH/V again.What's a disciple of the almighty silicon chip to do? I'll tell you what... it's to grab some emulators for old console games, and revisit my younger days of joy. I've been playing the hell

I don't know what's become of me lately. I've really become emotional in regards to things that I would think only women would. Things like hearing sad items on the news, or an animal being done wrong, or an innocent child losing a parent...I'm not sure if it is age, booze, booze-induced premature aging, or if I finally grew a soul.*shrug*

The other day, I am sitting on the back porch, smoking away and this baby bird comes running right up to me. I dont know if this thing is rabid, or retarded.

This seems pretty simple... "I want a 10-piece meal, all dark meat. That's legs and thighs only please!" and the somnambulent behind the register says "Ok... $ten fiddy please".Now one assumes when the register monkey asks you for cash, naming an amount as well to the cash they require... one would assume they did the math, and are aware of what it is they sold you, and what you would expect at

Well, EvE has gotten old. I left it a couple months ago, but left my main account paid as I am still training . I went back to CoH for all of 1 hour. Could not take it, and the game is deleted from my hard drive. Never again.I had been on a 4 month break from WoW, and thought I would check out all the new things. I rolled a toon on each of the new races, and to be honest the Alliance toon

In all seriousness, I had forgotten I even had this thing. Work has had me hopping so much, that I have only time to drink and play games online. I suppose I could drink, and post.. but the seriously twisted path my mind has taken in the last year would probably get this site shut down from a drunken post.And what has happened to Blogspot?

While traffic troubles in the Atlanta metro area are not a new thing; the fiasco of Tuesday's hell really drives home (no pun) the point that this city has grown beyond the ability of the local authorities to cope. The wreck (caused by one of thousands of doucebags around here) resulted in then entire northbound section of I-75 to shut down. Right at rush hour no less. My 30 mile commute home

When I started this, it was with the intention of marking my little piece of the web. My own little pissing spot where I could voice my opinions on things. Politics, games, life in general...

Blizzard did do me right on one thing tonight. A couple nights ago I did a quest that showed complete, and for all intents and purposes it was complete, except I got no reward at all. Nor did I see the yellow "Quest completed" message on the screen.So I petitioned about it, and the first response was something like "That is not broken, and we can't give you hints on how to complete a quest."So

My gawd! The patch utility (as I have said in the past) for WoW is the WORST! A 60.5 MB file to download... Which, on my connection should take no more than 15-20 minutes, tops. But nooooo Blizzard, in their wisdom thought it would be really snazzy if they had a patch server with a dial-up connection.How the hell does a game that is near the 1 million subscriber mark get away with such a shitty

Well, I went to the WoW website tonight, checking the patch notes and the forums to see if there is any mention of a fix for the issue that drove me to quit. Nope. Not a peep. Not even a recognition of this issue. They were fairly quick to respond when this issue hit the Alliance side. However, since this issue is more of a Horde problem they are in no hurry.It seems the latentcy issues are

I logged into CoH today several times, but just could'nt seem to "get into" it. I think I managed to collect a few badges, and read a few plaques putting me closer to more badges. I also managed to run two missions tonight. The first was against "The Family" (the mafia, basicly) and the other was against what used to be the 5th column. I still say they were much cooler when they were nazis.

This sinus infection has decided to put up a fight. For the last two days I have only been able to swallow liquids, and only with extreme pain. And both eardrums feel as if they have had a blunt pencil driven into them. The ironic part is that I really don't feel much pressure in my sinuses per se.

Well, I'm seriously not having fun in CoH. I had been away from the game for close to five months, and thought I would never return. Ethic managed to talk me into coming back. So, as you all know I did. It was nice to see they've made some really nice changes, added plenty of content, and even put in some incentives to explore.

I tried logging in a few times this weekend. Most of those sessions would end with me suddenly realizing I am standing in the middle of the street, just standing there... Or I would be sitting just inside the door to a mission. Not knowing how long I had been there.My head is a little clearer today, so I may giver it another go.

Sometime about Thursday afternoon, I noticed a small tickle in my sinuses. I wrote it off to allergies, as I had just gotten over that sinus infection, and the antibiotics should still be in my system. Boy was I wrong.Friday morning I woke up, and could barely move. It felt as though I had been beaten with an axe handle. And part of that beating included ramming that handle up both nostrils. I

All three of us got a level tonight.While I am pleased to see us holding together as well as we are, I am not so pleased with the speed of your progress. We should be in our mid teens by now, and I am not sure why that is not happening. Personally...I want my toon to lvl 14 asap.... then lvl 18. I

Something I have noticed is the difficulty in getting enough cash (in CoH, it's called 'influence') to make it through the lower levels. My lvl 33 Ar/Dev makes it like it's raining money. And thus, the static team I have going atm is not wanting for money in the least as he helps them on that.However, my 'side projects' are hurting. To get ahead in this game, you have to be constantly upgrading

Well, I was really close to deleting a lvl 16 Spines/Regen Scapper I had from my first round of CoH months back. I had tried playing him since my return, and the experience was 'meh' at best. It seriously had me considering swearing off that build. Then an odd thing happened.Just out of curiosity, I scoured the forums for this build. I had -heard- it was the hottest build in game, but I just

One of the things in this game I have noticed is that people love to send you team invites. They love to send them, and resend them, and re-resend them. I think I must've recieved (not making this up here...) at least 100 invites in an hour when I was playing my healer. And not a single whisper, saying something like "Hey, team of 6 needing a healer, are you game?" or something... I mean, not

It's amazing how much having a DPS toon in the party helps. Ethic and I decided we would give things a go, as his brother was not going to be on much this weeked. We made an excellet duo, no deaths (while in missions or fighting... 1 death to me, due to lag while travelling). But we noticed the XP was not flowing as expected. I attribute this to the fact we had no serious DPS with us.Without

Well, I'm shocked. Recently Ethic, his brother, and myself had agreed to run a static team in CoH. And the shocking part is that we have met for 6 consecutive nights, and nobody has broken the static-party covenent and levelled w/o the party. After 6 nights, we are -all- lvl 8. Very suprising. Every other MMO I have ever played, there has always been attempts at a static party, but

Well, something I have been doing of late is playing a game called GangsterHood. It's not a flashy game by any means.

Well, just when I thought I might be done with CoH, something odd happens. Ethic somehow convinced his brother to get the game. The three of us met up and formed a static team. I have to say, that is the fastest levelling I have done in a while on a fresh toon. I decided to go Epmathy/Dark and be the team healer. Being a healer is a bit of a departure from my normal role of

Well, after the bad taste WoW has left in my mouth, I decided I would give City of Heroes a second go. I figured, hey, it's been five months so maybe the game has improved. It has'nt, really. I logged into my AR/Dev blaster today, just to see if the bruises from the nerf bat had healed. They haven't. That was still in my mind the most fun combo of powers the game has to offer. And it would

I've been trying to fight off this nagging sinus infection/bronchitis for over two weeks, using only "natural" means. I finally broke down and went to the doctor on Wednesday. She gave me some "one-a-day" meds. And they really kicked my ass. Very good thing I took them at night. One of the items prescribed was a 5-day antibiotic. One pill a day, for 5 days. By pill #3, I felt like a new person.

Well, tonight I spent the better part of my evening playing my Spines/Regen Scrapper build in CoH. I had my good friend Ethic with me and I have to say it was rather fun. It seems this game is only really fun when you group with someone. Of course, this goes against my basic online instincts; However I have to say tonight was one of the better online gaming nights I have had in a while.And,

I've often wondered why I divert so much time, effort, and money into a game. I mean, what compels a man (or woman) to spend 6-8 hours a day, every day to playing a game? At first, I suspected it was some form of OCD, but that does not quite explain it. Perhaps, it's a cheap escape mechanism? Booze works as well, but playing a game has less of a hangover. Maybe it's an effort/reward effect?

What crackwhore did you assholes hire to come up with this craptastic program? You can't really call it a utility. It's that un-utilizable. I'd rather do manual patching.

Well, against my better judgment, I went and got myself a copy of WoW. I get this "AC2 is Deja Vu" feeling when I play it. Max level is 60. And many are already there or close to it. And this is just scant days after it's release. I don't think WoW will have the same server vacancy issues AC2 had, as there is a hardcore cadre of WarCraft love children.

Well, that itch to try WoW has began to take hold. So, knowing I would not be buying it tonight I decided I would read up on it as much as I could. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. And, I have to admit the game has many features in it that I find rather nice. Some taken from other games, some are rather novel ideas.

In response to my buddy Ethic's last remarks on the culinary parallels of AO and WoW.... Nuts. In all seriousness, I expect I'll be playing it eventually. I have even said as much. However, I seriously have been burned so many times that I am now in a holding pattern. I'm sure WoW is a great game. But then, the best game I had ever played went from hit to shit within 3 months of release. Thanks

How about this idea.... On average, you pay $50 for the game, and another $15/month to play.

Well, I ordered my 12 Girls Band cd (the newest one) like three weeks ago. I finally got here yesterday. I've been like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs waiting on it. (And if that analogy escapes you...go pound sand you limp-wristed yankee.) Just -knew- I should've taken the rush delivery option.... but an extra $7 was just in my thinking then. Well, as mentioned it arrived

I was looking online at my old hometown newspaper. Out of morbid curiosity I did a search on the last 4 years worth of obituaries. You know, to see if anybody I might have known is gone. The results were not user (me) friendly.... I have lost 2 Aunts, 2 Uncles, one remotely related (but loved) elder lady, and 3 good (12 years ago) friends to the insatiable maw of death. And I had to find this

I had just written (in my opinion) what I thought to be a very insiteful piece. Guess what happens when you hit "preview" before you post it..... Too late, going to bed. Will possibly redo tomorrow. Bah

But I lost mine.... Well, back in AO for not very long (3 maybe 4 weeks now) and I am getting bored. I suspect the new Martial Artist I am working may be the cause, but I am not 100% sure. In the old-school AO game... an MA dominated... It would level like nobody's' business... And was nigh unstoppable. Seems they have been molested by Uncle jimmies nerf bat sometime in the last 2 yrs.

Tonight, I turned a very special friend of mine onto Blogspot. And I seriously hope she takes me up on the idea. She's very bright (gawd knows we need more of that type online) and I think she has much to offer the blogshpere. Here's hoping she joins us.

Well, I rolled myself an Enforcer. My guild needs a tank. And, in the old days, I loved playing Enforcer. That is, until I came to love the Keeper class. They are kind of like a 75% effective enforcer, but with a massive self heal ability. While the 25% drop in damage output seems like a lot.... The self healing more than offsets that shortcoming. And, after getting used to playing a Keeper for

Well, I finally was able to return to my humble domicile as it were. Seems like the dog was happy to see me at least. Somehow, my better half managed to set the microwave on fire while I was gone... While cooking ramen noodles. How the hell do you pull that one off?!? She has many talents... And the destruction of technology is one. I'm looking forward to a nice 5-day weekend. I deserve it after

Well, Day #4 in this hotel room. I find my mind drifting back to the opening scene in 'Apocalypse Now'. "What city it this? ...Ah shit. Saigon. Why'd it have to be Saigon..." "...Waiting on a mission... Everyday I spend here I get weaker, and every day Charlie spends in the bush, he gets stronger..." Thank gawd there is no ceiling fan in this room, or I might start doing my Tai-chi forms in my

Well, I am off on another exciting (feel the sarcasm) business trip. What that means is over-priced meals, and hotel beds. And no gaming. Sadly, my employer never saw a need to add a video card able to handle T&L in my laptop. The jerks. Add to that the lack of any admin privs, and forget about playing anything but solitaire. I'm already "jonesing" for AO, and I have not even left yet.

There is this band of 12 females out from China, and the music... Uggh I can not put to words the beauty. I littereally tear-up when I listen to them. You -must- go to http://www.twelvegirlsband.com and check it out. I question if I am living in the right hemisphere when I listen to the amazing sounds these ladies produce. Amazing.

After attempting to access at least 10 times... Then publish some rantings like 5 times, I said "hell wiffit". What the hell is going on? Did blogspot get a worm/virus/Trojan or some shit? Come on, enough already! I don't have too many coherent thoughts, but when I have one... I would like to post it. Damn.

I've been revisiting this old favorite of mine for about the past week, and I have to say that for the life of me I can not recall why I ever left this game. Well, why I left the last time I mean. Since it's release in '01, I've played (and quit) this game. Some reasons more altruistic than others. Some not. I really wish I had stayed with it now. With the Shadowlands expansion, this game has

I suppose the nebulous nature of the internet was the original design intent when it was originally built. In case an area went offline, the others would reroute and pick up the load. However, I still have trouble getting my mind around the concept that entire domains can just go "poof"! I was hot-n-heavy into a great round of AO tonight. Had one mission to run, and was going to bed. Had the

Well, if nobody else has said so... Thank You! To all my fellow bloggers out there that broke out the sling, and put a stone between the eyes of a media giant. The worm is beginning to turn my friends. And it gives me hope. No longer can big media just spew pablum, and expect the public at large to just lap it up. Keep their feet to the fire guys and gals. You are what makes America the greatest

Well, it would seem Dan Rather has taken a page from the "John Kerry's How to Throw an Election" handbook. First he refuses to reverse his position. (Unless you live under a rock, you know about the forged documents) Then he says there will be no apology, that he stands by the story. tick tock Then he says even though the supporting evidence is fake, that does not change the "truth" of the
