OMG Star Trek in 3D....

Wed, 22 May 2013 12:26:54 -0700

Hello sports fans. If you have not seen the new Star Trek Into Darkness in 3D wow is all I can say. Have not seen a 3D since the old days of the white paper red and blue plastic lens-glasses they handed out in the movies. Rolf how old is that?

The movie was awesome and the special effects were too cool. A must see. First movie I had seen in over 3 years did not know what I was missing. I usually wait till the movie comes out on disk cause I am soo cheap lolz.

Another movie I like is Brave too funny and really cute for a cartoon.

Have a great day, after noon, and evening sports fans.

Moving to new guild

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:38:13 -0700

I've found a guild that have lots of people on it regularly (about 35) during the hours I play. I tested them out the last 2 days and seem to be doing lots of dungeons and guild events. I was starting to get bored of GW2 and am hoping this increase in activities will keep me interested a bit longer.

Thanks ZAP for all the exploring
Thanks MOON for all the events
Thanks SEC for all the class builds

Thanks to the rest of you for being a great group of people.

Flame and Frost: PUG Damage

Tue, 07 May 2013 19:18:06 -0700

You know, sometimes Pick Up Groups can be rough on your armor. This is what I looked like after our PUG finished off the two end bosses of the Molten Weapons Facility. Needless to say it look a bit longer than it should have... there were more than a few party wipes. I found myself fighting alone with a group of downed people for a good chunk of the time. Ouch.

Mouse is busted

Sun, 05 May 2013 14:53:29 -0700

As some of you probably know (if you were on Mumble when it happened), my mouse has suddenly decided to start malfunctioning. It's stuck registering the right mouse button as pressed. In this state, I can't really do much of anything. Even in the Windows desktop. It's a gaming mouse and I even tried remapping mouse buttons, to no avail.

I sent in for an RMA request (the mouse is in warranty until next year). I'm pretty certain it will all go through smoothly. So until then, I probably won't be able to get onto Guild Wars 2 very much (if at all).

Sorry about that guys. It's been a few days already and I really missing me some PC gaming.

Good news all....

Hello sports fans. Went round six of my chemo today , been feeling kinda down thinking of six more of the same, anyway was literally jumping for joy and shouting wooooopppee when my doc said this was the last round for me. My last scan evidently showed the tumor was so small they feel I am cured. Will get a new scan soon and in June will go back for a check up then one every three months.

I told the doc if I have a choice in future give me a surgery over chemo the side effects have been a real bear to deal with. I have lost so much strength in my grip have to use my teeth to open some things uggghhh.

He told me my strength will return as well as my hair yehaw. This means I don't have to wear those stupid masks after a while at Wally World they scare children which makes me feel bad but the alternative of going to hospital is worse. I can go outside a gain and not fear the sun woot woot. I am gonna get my life back thank you God and all the powers of good that be.

The most wonderful news is tomorrow is my last day after shot and all the pain that goes with it I am soo happy *does happy dance*.

I can't help but wonder how well I would have survived this all if I had not been in such good shape having beaten diabetes and got on a more healthy diet I have worried alot about gaining weight back and getting the diabetes back. Thankfully I can drop the extra pounds again now with out fear.

Azul drove me and we went to this awesome Thai restaraunt after it was a perfect day.

That is all for now sports fans hopefully now I can get strong enough to start playing again, have a great day, afternoon, and evening.

Starting today windows live messenger is dead...

Wed, 01 May 2013 06:06:04 -0700

One of those great things that happens to microsoft costumers, you want to keep using instant chat features and email notifications with your hotmail account? good, then now you are forced to remove windows live messenger from your computer and install skype, a program intended for internet audio/video calls as primary function and instant chat as secondary, with no email notifications and clunky multiple chat interface...

Dont get me wrong im not saying skype sucks, skype has good things too like way faster upload and download speeds but its just ridiculous that once more we no longer have the right to choose between 2 products, i just cant login in windows messenger anymore as it keeps asking me to download the new update which is uninstall and then install skype, if i press no, it will simply refuse to process any login.

1 of the biggest problems i have with skype is that i dont really care about audio nor video calls, i have no interest in those areas and the ones that i do like instant email notification is not available with skype, and instant chat is grouped by tabs in 1 window making your scrolling quite painfully slow.

What do you guys think about yet another unproductive change?

Upcoming Updates!

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:59:11 -0700

Notes from SOTG Reddit post.

General:

Sigils: Battle and Energy are strong, will be reworked as well as others.
Will be changes to the confusion stacks in PvE and PvP. In PvP it will be changed.
Pet AI improved.
Some classes will have traits being compressed.

Warrior:

Turtle's defense, due to the low popularity is being replaced with "Dogged(?) March". In defense line. Similar to Elementalist's trait: "Geomancer's freedom": chilled, immobilization and crippled decreased 33% faster, also get a small amount of regeneration.
One of the traits (adrenaline) in the discipline line is pushed together and combined. Both will reduce skill recharge and less adrenaline consumption. Called "Burst Mastery".
In the "future" they'll like to make more ways to spend more adrenaline.
Leaves place to the new "Empowered" to increase damage by 3% PER boon type. Thus 18 stacks of might means 3% damage increase, 5 boons in total will be 15% more.
Changes to warrior Signet of Might, the increase of power it gives - feels that the active effect will be changed. When activating signet, lose previous powers but gain a buff that next 3 attacks will be unblockable. This will hit PvE a tad, but it's aimed towards more of the PvP.
Wanted to see what traits will do primarily in PvP.

Thief:

Idea is to make them more survivable and more versatile.
Improve viability of thief, more sustain. Reducing a little of their overall burst.
Removed critical from Mug, instead it will now heal. Increases with healing power.
Split flanking strike. Previously 2 attacks that allow you to hit twice. Improved animation to track target better, and will be flipped over to another strike. This will steal boons. This is because they wanted thief to prolonged fight, because they cannot generate boons like other classes. One initiative cost. If you have 20 stacks of might, and a long duration, it will be taken.
Push thief's mobility up.

Ranger:

AI improvement as well, so pets won't aggro enemies
New archetype: If the pet has not gained the aggro of the target, it will attempt to move behind the target. Stays out of its cleave range
Pets stats improved and much more durable. Higher toughness
Activation skills (F2) been improved- much more faster reaction time.
Leash range is rather longer, will need to be "addressed" and "looked at"
Spirits utility skills been improved. More health, as well as the trait that increases their proc rate.

Elementalist:

Tone down PvP effectiveness without the PvE aspect.
Dagger elementalist will be slapped because of their favour in PvP/WvW. Staff elementalists are safe.
Mist form will no longer use utilities skill while under mist form. No healing as well. Will be able to attunement swap
Ride the lightning: Goes up to 40 second recharge but if it hits an enemy it will stay a 20 second recharge. Blocked hits supposidly will not incur the penalty.
2 PvP changes: Signet of Restoration, the passive will be reduced. Cleansing Water will remove 1 condition every 5 seconds.
Lighting form and Earth form will last longer.
Thinking about reworking conjures.

Engineer:

Want to diversify builds
Healing turret will be changed. Initial heal will be reduced, overcharge and passive heals will be stronger. Overcharge will drop water field, and apply healing in an area. Also removes condition. This gives players an active play. Might be split for HP will differ in PvE and PvP
Incendiary explosives: Was applying conditions and with certain stuff it made conditions 100% uptime. Burning will be for 4 seconds every 10 seconds. Chance will be 100% every time your crit.
Elixir S will be changed like Mist Form, no utility skills can be used. This and incendiary explosive will be the main nerf.
Bomb Kit will be split in PvE and PvP. In PvP the damage will be increased because people have a smarter movement than the AI.
Looking at brining up turrets.

Mesmer:

Bug fixing
Distortion will have no cap.
Moa elite will allow you to run and activate it.
Mantras wanted to be improved, but ANet is scared of it.
Illusion of life will have a cast time reduced.

Necromancers:

Corrupt boon and epidemic will be unblockable abilities (might be via traits).
Increase HP of some minions, as well as the aggro changes.
Thinking about putting a new condition for Death Shroud, on the fifth ability. Not telling. A form of a dark dot that will have a secondary branch.

Guardian:

Fix bugs and viability
Spirit Weapons will have HP increased.
Some skills were strong, such as blocking trebuchet shots. Will be changed.

This has most probably since been patched, but this is what happens when you reflect a mesmer's scepter auto-attack...

Download large files to a large External

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 04:45:22 -0700

Hey is it possible to download a game from the internet directly to an external?

I want to try my hand at SWTOR but it will never happen from home (i have tried by leaving my computer on for 24 hours and when i checked it it had only downloaded 12%) and taking my external to work, where the connection is way better, seems more plausible.

I have tried to do that, download on an external, before and it just didn't happen...i figure i was doing something wrong, though i never thot downloading as brain surgery.

If you know what i am talking about and can answer this question please do so.

I have searched the internet but there is either no answer on this topic or i have not worded my problem properly. So if you know how to word it better, let me know that if you don't know how to solve.

Thanks

Announcing: Saturday D&D

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:22:07 -0700

My friends! It is time we have a weekly fun time for adults! It is my pleasure to announce: Late Night Saturday Dungeons and Drinks!

Its an idea that came up in conversation between me and sedge. The way it works, after bounties and everything is done on saturday, we do a dungeon run. It can be one path, or the entire dungeon, depending on how much time we have and how long people can hold up. At the moment, there is just one component: Whenever someone dies, they take a shot. This can be tweaked if someone thinks there would be a more fun way to do this, perhaps when one person dies, everyone else drinks (hilarity ensues!). If we have people interested, we will start with Ascalon Catacombs this Saturday night, I am thinking around 10pm PST.

If interested, post below!

As promised update....

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:50:10 -0700

Hello sports fans. Round 5 done and counting down woot woot.. Some weeks have been harder than others so that is why I have not been around much. The day after shot has been rough but today I am feeling ok no need for pain meds yet. I guess it is worth it to stay well altough some times it is hard to remember that.

Other news my roommates cat Ethel decided we needed more food and has been out hunting. I can not get it through her head I don't like my birds alive and I don't clean them either rofl.

Azul has been a peach helping with yard work can you believe he helped me do some weeding wow what a guy. I have to be careful as too much work makes me want to toss my cookies that sucks.

In answer to Zaps Question I have been trying to count the shots the Rifleman shoots off but can't decide between 11 and 12 sounds like 12 but don't look like it. Then he only reloads one time gotta love old westerns. Rawhide reruns start next Sat. Clint Eastwood was soooooo handsome had major crush when I was young.

Well I am off time to eat lunch so my sugars stay good, OMG before I go I am so angery one of the pills they give me to take caused me to gain 15 pounds argggghhhhhhh took me for ever to loose that weight. I warned them I am not becoming diabetic again so I have to really watch what I eat again so disgusting.

Have a happy blessed day all.

I AM SO SORRY

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:15:55 -0700

I just got Zap's PM.

I am so sorry my cousin has acted in such a manner.

Had I known he'd be such an ass, I never would have let him have access to my account. Zap's gonna send me an email with a screen cap of what he took, and then I'll be logging on to ensure the guild gets it all back. I just tried calling him, but he didn't answer. If he's smart, he'll avoid me for a couple days, not that I could do much damage in my condition, but still.

Again, I am so incredibly sorry this happened.

It just never dawned on me that he'd do something so stupid and dishonest.
