    I'll just post a new post bout my trip later. Some good stuff happened, such as seeing some I haven't seen in nearly 15 years. Met lots of 2nd and 3rd cousins, who may or may not be once or twice removed, and a number of them are, for the lack of a better term, hot. Also smart and all around fukwin. You know, the type of girls I usually go for. Asian, shorter then me, hot+cute, smart in all sorts of ways. I won't be dropping any names, but damn, 2nd/3rd cousins ftw? Also met a few uncles and aunts and some very good stories have been told to me. A large number of randomness in Congers/NYC stories as well, such as picking someone up across the street from the median.
     
    I also know how to get around NYC now. I believe I know the jist of it by heart.
     
     
     
     
    My family is ridicuously large.

    The Origins of Ms. Marvel

    By Wizard,

    Hal never really came back to life, you know. The Hal that's currently running around the DCU is only a construct given form and thought by the Guardians.
     
    After Hal's spirit was severed from the Spectre, it was thrown beyond the multiverse, into a place where space and time have no meaning, there it drifted for an eternal instant before finally finding its way to a world strangely similar to the one he knew, yet very different. In time, Hal's spirit drifted to an air force base, one of the few places in this new world that was unchanged. There, he found Joseph Danvers, a man who reminded Hal much of his own father. Hal soon became an emotionally involved spectator in the lives of Joseph and his wife Marie. Before long, Hal saw in the young couple an opportunity for a new life, and a chance for redemption.
     
    Some time later, the Danvers were gifted with the birth of a beautiful baby girl. She'd grow up to be quite the tomboy, a decorated air force pilot, and a real pain in her father's ass.
     
    Marie never knew why she named her daughter Carol. Only that something inside of her knew it was somehow fitting. She couldn't have realized that her unborn child had named herself, honoring the great love of a former life.

    So the pillows latest single release - "Ladybird Girl" together with "And Hello!".
     
    Show casing their standard flare that they aren't old enough, infact they've aged quiet well, you can almost tell they haven't aged at all since their debut EP nearly 20 years ago! (It's a lie, they've aged enough so you can tell). Scores are pretty random, mostly based on how catchy they are to me.
     
    1 Ladybird Girl
     
    A short harpsicord intro and the drums kick in with some palm muted guitar. Slow build up until the chorus section. Simple chords have never sounded better (along with the loud/quiet/loud dynamic, as made famous by The Pixies). A standard sounding pillows tune that should cater to everyone's tastes. It's not too heavy, still very much loud and the LQL dynmaic works wonders. It's even got a catchy chorus too boot, and it's in english (This is love, is this love? and Ladybird Girl, Ladybird girl, my girl).
     
    3.8/5
     
    2 And Hello!
     
    Straight forward pillows calm rock track (similar to various other release). You might find yourself aimlessly moving your feet to this song. It's catchy nature and simple melodies are it's strong points by far. Hell it's solo is just as good too. Nothing too complicated and fits the song well. I believe more people will like And Hello! more then the single itself.
     
    4.5/5
     
    Exciting for their next LP, and going by these, shouldn't be disappointing.

    Because being a lesbian half-elf rogue with an airship knee deep in female elves, fay, humans, nymphs and anything else with a charisma of 12 or higher and isn't out to take my soul or kill me in Eberron is fucking awesome.

    I present to you, a guide written by a friend. This was around when TBC came out and he power gamed for about 54 hours straight.
     
    In-Game
     
    1)BAG SPACE. Make flockin bagspace. All toys, trinkets, useless pots, useless gear, pets, etc go in the bank. BAG. SPACE. I cannot stress this enough. The only things you should have are
    -Gear
    -HP/Mana pots (1 stack ea)
    -Bandages
    -Food/Water (hybrid is better)
    -Hearth
    -Other necessities I can't think of
     
    2) MAKE MULES. I have a mule I sent all my greens to in Ironforge to put up on the Auction House for mad money. I also have a mule for every tradeskill/herbalism/gems that I might want to keep. There's no AH in Outlands, and only one bank (and going there will interrupt your leveling).
     
    3) READ THE flockING QUEST LOG. I can't stress that one more. NEARLY every quest tells you where the flock everything is. If in the case the quest log fails. USE http://wwww.thottbot.com/beta, it has maps and locations for most quests and mobs. IF that fails, ask someone, but when you do ask someone listen to what the flock they're saying. I've had 5 different people ask me 4 times in a row where to get the Metal/Wood for Waste Not Want Not. I'm going to be on vent pretty much any time, so feel free to ask me locations for stuff (so far I've mastered Hellfire and Zangarmarsh).
     
    4) BE INTELLIGENT AND PLAY PROPERLY. Dying slows you down, sometimes it has to happen, but other times it can be avoided. If you can tell a quest isn't going to work out, go do something else while you wait for someone to possibly come help you. If you can feel yourself being slowed down, bolt somewhere else, there's easily 100 quests in each zone, always something to do. Never think you're done with a zone, there's nearly almost another quest hub you haven't been to.
     
    5) SPEND MONEY. You're going to be making money like a DEMON. Spend money on pots, pots, pots, reagents, food, food, water, water. SPEND MONEY if it means that you level faster, don't be afraid. Water/Food from mages is great, but they're really annoyed with how much their asked. Draenic food/water is the bizzomb.
     
    6) PLAY FAST. Thinking "gotta go gotta go haste quick swift lets go lets go" can sometimes work out for the better, you just have to know the limit. If you're idle for too long, your exp rate goes down.
     
    Real Life
     
    1) STRETCH. Whenever you have a bit of idle time on a flight or waiting for a spawn, stand up and move around. Touch your toes, flex your muscles, move your joints around. It'll help fight off the muscle atrophy you're bound to develop from playing 40 hours straight.
     
    2) EAT WELL!. Being hungry sucks, you need food for energy. Fruits, juice and vegetables are good for energy boosts. Chips, pasta, rice are there because they're easy prepare and give you energy. Protein and fats are good to replace things that you're burning by being up for so many hours, but not in overly excessive amounts that'll make you groggy.
     
    2b) BEWARE OF CAFFEINE. Caffeine flocks the crap out of you, it's good for energy temporarily, but then you crash and burn. If you think you can handle it, go ahead. I managed to go 40 hours without any.
     
    3) If you are still gaming at 6 AM and don't want to fall asleep and you still want to play. Talk to someone on vent. Conversation with another person managed to keep me up from 5 AM-8 AM (most dangerous time to fall asleep when power gaming). Keep your mouth moving, they know that you're just trying to stay awake, talk about what you're doing, talk about anything. It'll keep you awake.
     
    3b) BE COMFORTABLE. Sweaters, hoodies, tank tops, shorts, nudity, pillows, blankets, whatever floats your boat.
     
    4) BEWARE SERVER RESTARTS. They make you want to lay down while the server restarts, some people can do it, others can't. Which brings me to my next point.
     
    5) POWER NAPS!. A 26 minute power nap was enough to keep me going for a whole other day. During a power nap, to ensure that you're not going to fall asleep, put on loud and energetic music, your body will be tired enough to rest but you'll still be on the brink of conciousness so you can wake yourself up. If music fails, make someone your friend and tell them to SCREAM in vent to wake you up. (Feel free to ask me)
     
     
    5b) If you really have to, go and sleep for 6-8 hours. Spahm's rule is that every time he gains a level, he goes to sleep.
     
    6) BE HYGIENIC. Having a break for an hour to bio/shower/shave and clean yourself up will keep you (and those around you) happy to keep going. Brushing your teeth can provide a much needed energy boost early in the mornings.
     
    7b) Talk to people in real life, tell them that you're still alive, tell them that you're having a gaming marathon with some friends.
     
    7c) Play with people You don't have to be in the same group, but come on vent and socialize, it'll keep you entertained. BEWARE, Thelstrahm and Papagigi are okay to hang out with, but only in small doses.
     
    7d) If you don't like people, Listen to music!, whatever makes you happy, it'll add to the experience and you won't mind the grind that much.
     
    8 ) Don't think that you've fallen behind. I've seen a lot of people log on pissed that a couple people are a few levels higher than them, don't worry about it, everyone will be at the same point in a month or two. There will always be people at your level for you to do things with, because everyone is coming into Outlands at different times. Try not to think negatively, it'll just upset you.
     
    9) The most important of all HAVE FUN. Very Happy
     
    10) Masterbate I can't stress this enough it will relieve stress and might make someones day on vent should you foget to turn off your mic, but serisousy send me any food you want cooked and i'll mail it back
     
    11.) PLAN - It's not good to be running across the map from one side to another over and over for quests, plan out your questing so that you can get 1-2 quests done in one area then move onto the next to complete the rest, and turn in times as well.
     
    12) make sure you have at least an Ounce of weed so that you don't have to drive out to pick up some inbetween leveling if you start running low. You will also be saving more money by purchasing larger quantities.
     
    13) Group with a Paladin for Crusader Aura and become the fastest moving mounted players on land.
     
    14) Keep water containers and a variety of snack food at the computer. Getting up wastes time.

    For some reason, I immediately thought of EM when I listened to this. It's a good song, it's apparently about break ups/breaking ups. Now to bug the suckers in the band to cover this tune. It just seems so fun to play

    UNLIMITED BOAT WORKS

    By Wizard,

    I am the captain of my boat.
    Waves is my body, and seawater is my blood.
    I have sailed over a thousand charters
    Unknown to mountains.
    Nor known to fields.
    Have withstood storms to catch many fish.
    Yet, those fish will never be eaten.
    So as I pray....
     
    UNLIMITED BOAT WORKS.

    I have an idea. An idea I'd like to see through, for Fallout 3. And this idea, is called Wizard's Cove.
     
    What is "Wizard's Cove", You ask? Well then, Wizard's Cove is a small trader town that has no relation to any existing town within the game. A separate town all it's own that will contain the following;
     
    *Several Quests.
    *Able to marry a resident of the town with the freedoms you had in FO2, that includes abusing them and possibly even selling them, or you could just plain rape them.
    *A bunch (15 to 20) of stupid NPCs AI that roam around and do stuff.
    *A bunch of talking deathclaw that want you to find some crazy ass ring for them.
    *An abandon lair
    *A whore house
    *A bar
    *A couple of whores
    *A Supermutant named "Gargok the Barbarian" that will have 1,000 HP and a hammer.
    *A local radio station that plays nothing
    *A ghoul named "Jimmy the Green" - only because it sounds funny
    *Me as a quest giver that gives you a really reduntent quest
     
    That's pretty much it. I'll get into detail later. The CS comes out this month (!!!) along with the SDK, so will probably get some immature sh!t like sex animations, better bodies, and nudity. Like what Oblivion is now.

    Ok, and what I mean is my self and my friend have decided to create a one shot comic/manga to submit too GoManga. Offically, he will be drawing while I do the writing, but we're going to split some duties (which are to be determined!).
     
    Maybe I can get Damn-Ed off the ground finally! And maybe make it a monthly! (Or something as equivelent.)
     
    I gotta talk to him again, but I really hope this idea takes off (the only thing I can draw is backdrops :/).
     
    This may be a little pet project of mind other than being in a band, but if this works who knows!

    Writing Woes

    By Wizard,

    I've got alot on my plate right now.
     
    3 Stories and tons of games to finish.
     
    Resident Evil: Before Infection - Non-canon story about an RPG I used to play last year, "Part 1"
     
    Arcanium Stadium - The "Current" title of the story I'm working on. On hold until me and drawer can beat some games, or until I get sick of said games and go back to writing. I've written about 8 and half chapters. Trust me, it's all script format. So you try writing 30 chapters worth of mostly dialogue.
     
    and finally
     
    Dark Times unto Dark Bloodlines - A story based in White Wolf's World of Darkness series of tabletop RPGs, totally non-canon, using some characters I created up for an RPG that I've just about started.
     
    And then theres all those games on the left over there that need beating. I've blasted my way through Marvel and still working on beat all the comic missions AND on hard mode AND unlocking everyones costumes. I've managed to put a good 29 hours into it so far. Theres also Heroes of Might & Magic V + Hammers of Fate. No time to live anymore. AND THEN Theres the slight possbility of a family memeber staying over for a really long time and he's bringing nearly all of his lifestyle with him. But we get along pretty well and he's gonna get me some if you know what I mean. He's pimp, and we might get XBL Gold, so all our woes and online madness shall continue in Xbox format.
     
    Enough life. Back to brainstorming and having sleepless nights due to video games and writing. It's amazing I also lurk the fourms at the same time. How do I do this? Easy, no job, no school and no band until Feb due to everyone else having mid terms.
     
    /s/ don't fail me now.
