Dropping off the LJ Face

It's not really I dropped off my own personal LJ, it's more like I have swapped to Plurk. Meh. Well this is still a good place to get my thoughts out on various things and it's not like I'm dealing with various things at once.

The final stages to this expansion of Warcraft Cataclysm is nearly upon us, and I'm here thinking to myself that it feels, well I suppose you could call it Shortended? There's this big awesome dragon immolating people, and what happens? Patch 4.3 is announced with his demise with 4.4 being a big World Event for the next one.

Sigh. Maybe I can max out my 85s before the last expansion hits.

Grandma's back in the house and we're subjected to the same shows over and over again. However there is an upside since she watches Kamen Rider with me. And I've gotten back into the Pretty Cure fandom with copies of the Precure DX movies and the Heartcatch Series. I'm up to about episode 24 on Heartcatch and I enjoy it thusly.

UG@ has continued to be a delight to me. It's just so easy playing Tsukasa all the time, and being the way he's set up, he doesn't have to know about anything mecha at all. And I like how he's coming out. Also have Shirley there too, and Dita is due to debut on Tuesday.

Trans. I'm in for the long haul but we'll see how this game pans. I love it, but it can be so maddening sometimes with its pace. But it's not bad at all. It's a lot of fun and gives a lot of things to keep track of, but I don't mind. I'm not crazy about it, but I do enjoy playing there.

My other games are a little slower, like Sophia Academy, etc, but those are good games too. Lots of fun there, even if I need to try and get more activity in Splendor down. Micro I never have a problem with tbh, so yeah.

It's Another Short Time Again

Ladies and gentlemen my name is TotalbiscuitShaun with another short.

It's been six months since the release of World of Warcraft Cataclysm. Actually seven now that we're now in June. And quite properly it's causing some concern. Our commentator Totalbiscuit has left the scene, disgusted with the lack of Abyssal Maw and I really don't blame him. I myself have no idea what the hell I am doing and just farming out Justice Points. Hell I could just simply top out and let myself have tons of it for when the new Tier 12 comes out, and Tier 11 gets bumped down.

I've settled into my new routine of weekends being absolute garbage for my RP drive, as well as games and other assorted media. In this I am a mixed bag cause I really like my weekends, but I also like MONEY which is said for a lot of things. Still, the work isn't hard and downright relaxing at times. Just me and the road and a little "Here's your pizza".

After procrastinating due to the fact of said money issues, I have recently come into the price range for Pokemon Black. Does anyone ANYONE wonder just how much stuff they put into this game? It's well paced, beautifully made, lots of bells, whistles and charm put into it. Though the free win from the first gym battle is slightly questionable but hell I am not complaining about that.

Duke Nukem Forever is coming out soon. I dunno what to think about that. It's been 12 frickin years since the last one came out and as much as I loved blowing up pigcops and vicious rounds of 2v2 being put down, I have to admit that I am on the fence for this one. It looks fantastic and the gameplay of the demo seems fine enough. Still, dunno.

Finally some fanfic stuff. I've been debating on how to proceed with RPM StrikerS as well as several other projects. I've quit the TV Tropes Negima Forum cause I was really not getting any decent feedback there. Also, I think my Rider love is just as strong as ever. I'll have to incorporate more of that into my fics. Also I'd like to somehow get a Frontier/Den-O crossover going.

As a last note, I've been RPing and I might want to try for Taichi. I have him, but I haven't done anything with him. Which is the problem. I downloaded the movies and the anime, so we'll see what comes up.

We'll see you all next time.

RP RP Everywhere And Nothing To Drink

Lately I've been getting deeper into Warcraft RP on a whole but so far the experience has been half-fulfilling at best. There's some good people on WoW but at the same time, the people in my guild can be just JERKS all the time. I mean it, seriously. My Guild Leader can be such an asshat it's painful. If it weren't for admittedly, abusing the system and doing the whole 20% EXP from BOA and then another 10% I'd have left these fuckers by now and I dunno, joined a Draenei-all Guild.

Though there is a shining moment to this in which Melly went and slightly tormented Phinny about her involvement with Greggy, and how she keeps refusing that they're anything other than healer-and-tank. It was really quite adorable actually. And it was something I needed done.

RP has gotten more relaxing as of late, though I was soooo tired last night, I could barely bang out like 3-4 responses to Gohan and Ami. God I was like, falling asleep at the keyboard and all.

Gotta bring grandma to Red Deer to get her old age pension, but it'll take a while for me to actually get going in the morning. Anticipating that she would prod me until I woke FAR too early this morning, and the fact that I was too tired, I went to bed early. She did not disappoint, prodding me exactly at 8am. Damn early risers. Give me something to go on grandma, that was not cool. Especially poking me repeatedly in the arm until I was sore.

I'm not getting ready to go till 10 anyhow. Driving while still half asleep and only having a cappuccino in the morning is NOT good planning. Let alone breakfast to boot. And she's probably giving me a look right about now but quite honestly I am not paying attention. Besides, the place probably isn't even OPEN yet.

Hnn, I should make sure to bring some change. There's most likely parking meters. Eff those too, seriously.

WoW Stuff

My Shaman and my Paladin are now 85. Seems to be about right. Feels good to be that level too.

Maybe now I can actually RP without it getting in the way.

Torpedoed Plans

I WAS planning on going out today, and get everything worked out financially but looks like ma took my car. Something I'm none too pleased with but I'll keep for now. It's a bright sunny day and I wanted to get out, go to Red Deer and to the bookstore. But aw well.

Not really in a WoW mood right now but I should really work on my Death Knight for a while. Tanking is fun again.

Augh

Woke up this morning with a grade-a ache in my head. It's a headache but it's more of an ache-ache than anything else, like I slept wrong with my mouth open so my mouth has this terrible dryness to it.

As it stands, I'm looking forward to Keyblade Order and by damn I need to really make up the revisions on my app since it's a sample one.

Leveling up my Death Knight on Gnomeregan and it's a joy to see a furry angry ball of mean coming at you.

EDIT: Sigh. What a day. Kyle revealed he wasn't studying. He met a few failures and now he's all D: at studying and passing. Why doesn't he TRY HARDER? Well, forget that. I'm not holding his hand this time.

Cataclysm Day 2

Day 2. 12:13 pm. Stalked by being from another dimension. Convinced it wishes to, no wait, I've done that joke already. Numerous times. In Vashj'ir right now and the zone is just fantastic if overtly LARGE. Everything large and everything wants your precious, no not that way sickos. Or devour you. And I mean that one at least. There is a ton of stuff to do in this zone and I've JUST gotten the Flight Path back to shore which is a godsend since I don't need to burn my flight path.

HOWEVER Due to my brother telling me how incredible Uldum is, and the fact that I've gotten tired of KH's Under the Sea mix, I am taking a break from the tropical underwater paradise and going to, well, Uldum. In which case I will be putting on The Prince of Egypt coupled with Aladdin because quite honestly this place is an Egyptian Paradise.

For some REASON I an unable to go to Uldum the PROPER way, which is teleporting from Stormwind right next to your destination. This is quite the pickle no less. Maybe I should kip over to Deepholm instead. After all, there be elementium there. Yes, quite delicious that ore is.

Oh why the hell not. Save Uldum for my "End game" joy. I want to go to Deepholm and I'm tired of wringing kelp from my butt-plates. Do you realize how heavy it is under water? Quite honestly I'd swim naked if I thought I didn't need my 460% swimspeed mount.

1:31 pm. After a cleansing hot shower that has warmed my fingers so I can actually PLAY now, I have gone to Deepholm for a while and bust out some of the quests there. Ore Ore Ore everywhere! It's like a miners dream come true! I have 5 stacks of Elementium on my person right now. GLEE!

First Day of Cata Quest Log

Day 1: 3:05 am. Went to Hyjal. NEVER AGAIN. I am waiting out the storm as everyone and their DOG is there. Tempted to go to Vashj'ir.

4:05 am. Said screw it. Went and excavated a pile of things. Listening to my brother complain on Skype about a helmet not spawning. Quite amused. Eating Shipao. Mouth burning from spicy sauce ogod need milk. Almost to max level in Archeology. Half through lv 80 to 81. Does anyone else see a pattern here?

4:13 am. Almost to max 75 Archeology. Should stop by and get my professions up a notch again. Harrison Jones is teaching it. I love Blizzard for combining Harrison Ford and Dr. Indy Jones. Kyle was previously freaking about helmet. Helmet found.

Man I need coffee. It's cold.

4;17 am. Going back to SW in order to get next level Archeology. Not getting skill ups at ALL wtf. Apparently my gathers are all greened out now. That makes Shaun a sad panda. Flying in Azeroth does help. And it only cost 200 gold for me. This is much more relaxing too.

5;17 am. Archeology continues. At lv 95ish already but at the same time, I've stopped skilling up since I hit 70. However I'm mining out stuff like Troll Tablets which exponentially add to the artifacts needed. I'm getting closer to more awesome stuff, I can TASTE it.

6:08 am. Still at Archeology. Gonna take a break soon for coffee. Already had something to eat so I should be good on that end. Amazing what going to bed early will do for your gaming drive.

7:58 am. After coffee and breakfast, I'm re-energized. I've hit 81 after my break of questing and I figure getting to 85 will be a walk in the park. The new gear makes my old stuff look like childrens toys at best, but it's still not that bad at all. The new 272's aren't as tough as my epic 251/264. I won't be outgrowing those till I get some blues. Gone back to Archeology.

3:56 pm. Took a long long nap to make up for my erratic sleeping today. Waiting in queue for getting onto Moon Guard. All my progression is there dagnabit!

http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/

The timer on this link is all that I need to state for my excitement. However, I'm just chilling and grumbly that I need to vacuum. Also, I need to watch Slayers again cause I totally missed the ending of Evolution-R while me and my mom made shipao. For those who aren't in the know, shipao is a steamed dough bun, filled with anything ranging between veggies and beef, chicken, pork or veggies.

Oh what the fuck. Communism? There's no communism in fucking WoW. God you RPers stop being idiots! /watches other screen

Yeah, Stormwind RP sucks. I just really hate it so much.

On the upside, there's a movie that my mom is watching about a young man who runs away from home and becomes a paperman who is basically someone who frauds his way through life for one reason or another. After posing as a pilot for ages, he decides to fraud as a government man, inspired by James Bond. I can't remember what movie this is and I'm too lazy to check.

I should really go and vacuum first though. Before it gets too dark. Ai.

Cataclysm happens tonight, the release though. I don't intend on staying up too long, just till the rush ends which will putter out around 2am. So basically I'm just going to be on long enough to hand in my quests on my paladin. That should net me a few hours of work.

My god, people stop debating lore ICly. No one knows Neferion and Onyxia have been taken by Deathwing and turned into super-zombies.

AND STOP CAPITALIZING EARTH. Ugh, my god.

Food and Coffee

Nomming on cold pizza and coffee this morning while being put to work doing, whatever. I have to mop today which I should do before the afternoon. Last night in RP in WoW was interesting to say the least, between a few riots and a attempted IC mugging. Which I thwarted and it was awesome. I discovered Rein is very quick to violence when roused.

Grandma is watching The Sound of Music again, and I fear she will have it blasting today. But at least the music is good. Though lately Goldshire people are coming into the city and I'm surprised that they're actually leveling up now. It's actually kind of refreshing.

I should work on some alts today. I could get my mage to at least Northrend.

Sleep Is For The Weak

I slept extremely late last night, at 4am. Couldn't get to bed no matter what I tried, so I wound up getting my mage to 60. Just doing pvp right now till I have my RP set and I might go back to bed.

Eye of the Storm, hands down one of my favorite BGs is available early. it's awesome.

EDIT: had a moment of wtf since my wow graphics decided to wig out on me. For a moment there, I thought that I lost the use of my card. But no, I wouldn't be able to Dual Screen.

Though maybe it's time I reset the comp...

Patch 4.0.3a - The Day When Everything Changes

It has finally happened. Deathwing has arisen from his prison beneath the Maelstrom. And he just gave Azeroth a facelift for good or for bad.

I'm going to immortalize it with a Element EU post and a bit of fanfiction. ^_^

Impending Shattering

Anyone on my friend list knows that I've been big into Warcraft for years, and while the gameplay is awesome, I'm also one of the biggest lore nuts in the world. Which is why I hope to god that Patch 4.0.3a hits this Tuesday, thus bringing about the Shattering, which is a world-wide event (save for Northrend and Outland) which will cause the changes of the world in ways thought impossible as Deathwing rises from his prison to sack us all.

I think the patch has gotten me excited for this for two reasons: 1) It's a entire vanilla overhaul of all the zones and quests. And B) It gives new expectant lore in all of the reasons behind the new class and race combos that were previously unheard of save for npcs.

This is great. It's smart, and it'll be fun to play with.

Now if only we could get blood elf botanists it'd be perfect.

Also, I need to get that testrun up for Queen of Hearts since Floogy and I sort of trailed off after only a few tags with Miyuki and Kazumi.

Sitting Here With My Coffee

Since I wasn't woken up at the crack of dawn for cleaning the house, I can only assume that we're not going to have to worry about cleaning house today, even though I should vaccum it; it really needs it.

Mom's not around which means her friends must have dragged her out for coffee which is a good thing. It means her back is getting better now.

I've been thinking about my money situation and I guess I'll do what I can to repay everything I have. It won't be much per month but it's a start.

Finally, I've been thinking about getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh officially, the 5Ds TV show. But I'll have to hunt down torrents for about 30 episodes. What I have seen is pretty good mind you.

Sitting in Goldshire reading RSPs this morning. Then I'll get to tags later. Wearing my vanguard set. I'd like to see if there's a matching tier on the horde. I doubt it'd look just as good but eh.

Thinking about that WITCH fic to make it self-contained and what not. Might give that a go today.

Silly Things Of Note

I picked up a "Super Simian Sphere" for WoW in a random dungeon. It basically turns me into a monkey in a ball. Yeah, Super Monkey Ball. Go figure.

Also, I can feel my Filia muse returning with astounding speed. Though I'd want to see Revolution for my Sylphiel. I wonder if she'll ping my lesdar again like she did all through Slayers and NEXT.

I also picked up Scott Pilgrim vs The World. On Blu-Ray.

WOOT.

Motivation

Before I even think of sitting down and playing a video game, I need to vacuum the house. It's kind of dusty and I also should do some spot cleaning for the floor since I see spots everywhere. Done and Done. Woo.

Grandma's taken over the cooking which is a double edged sword in it's own right. On one hand, it's not BAD food, but at the same time, she has a penchant for way too much oil, onion and garlic. Talk about missing the point to eating healthy.

I didn't get a chance to read The Lost Hero again yesterday, too tired to do so. I'm tired today too, but at least I have a steady stream of coffee right now.

Need to pick up the truck from Fastlane Ford. Hopefully Kyle'll pop into the house before work time, so I can go get him to bring me to pick it up.

I need to decide which game I'm gonna focus on, WoW for holiday junk and meta achieves, Cross Edge or Atelier Rorona.

Also, found a direction for Ed. He's open an Atelier in T9, and it's a workshop to make little things here and there to big things. He'll probably leave clothing and blacksmithing to the actual professionals.
