Or So She Says ...

And now for the quote of the day.

Christian: So, dude, when're we going to see SAW III?
Me: It was just an idea. We'd have to find somebody who could take us.
Christian: Ohhh ...
-momentary silence-
Me: Hey, Charlie! Wanna take about 15 big boys to the movies this weekend?
Charlie: Sure! -laughing; sarcastic-

xD Oh, yes. I kick ass. I know, know.

Mac Vs. PC? My Opinion --

-- ... that's right, all. I'm gonna be takin' the 14 main reasons on their site to switch from a PC to a Mac and will / try to counterprove every single reason for those of you less informed. Ready? Let's do this.

#1: It Just Works -- They ask how long it's taken you to troubleshoot your PC ... well, if you don't f*ck up it won't require any. Furthermore, most of the troubleshooting that a general PC user encounters isn't as high on the list as one that a classier performer, such as a gamer or business type, would encounter -- therefore, they have more knowledge with the situation, still making the troubleshooting easy. If it is pretty hard? Just look it up online. There are plenty of people there to help you. Besides, I guess I have to hand it to them -- there's not much to troubleshoot because their programs are such utter crap that they can't get any worse.

#2: You Can Make Amazing Stuff -- Varying on your system, you can get the same amount of software that comes from the Mac that is just as accessible (if not moreso). It's called Windows Movie Maker and all of the other software you can buy / try for it. Hell, it even comes with Windows Media Encoder!

#3: Design That Turns Heads -- Right. I dunno how ancient most people's PC's are today, but mine looks pretty kickass and can be easily modded. They suggest that us PC-users hoards ours in corners because they're too unattractive -- in my view, (to the majority of us) Macintosh has just committed one dirty deed against us ... extreme lying.

#4: 114,00 Viruses? Not On A Mac. -- Right. They suggest that Mac's are better because of the lack of viruses and I have two responses to that. (1) If you have the proper security software it won't even matter! And, (2) doesn't that mean that the PC is more popular? I mean, hell, who would want to create a virus for a Mac and f*ck it up more than it already is, eh?

#5: Next Year's OS Today -- Oh, really? And just how do they know what next years's software is actually going to be, mm?

#6: The Latest Intel Chips -- They claim to have Macintoshes that utilize Intel software better than the systems they were originally designed for? I'd really like to see the results to that first-hand; otherwise that's beyond my belief.

#7: Instant Video Chats -- And? Is that supposed to mean that the Macintosh "users" are two lazy to download one client for the PC and set it up to initiate such?

#8: More Fun With Photos -- They talk about their programs for photo viewing as if they're godly! Obviously, the people who've created Mac's have never even viewed a PC, namely Windows, before. What a bunch of losers. They disgrace me.

#9: One-Click Websites -- This just makes me feel that Mac-users are very uneducated and that because Macintosh even offers this as an option makes me think that I'm gonna be seein' a lot more crappy websites out there on the Internet.

#10: Amazing Podcasts -- This seriously is just a money-making ploy.

#11: Rockstar Tunemaking -- If you don't have the actual materials for it, you shouldn't be doing it! On the other hand, if you want to make virtual beats (like they're suggesting), just take Rockstar's Beaterator for a spin!

#12: Hollywood-style Movies -- Windows Movie Maker. Free. Period. Just get some damn skill.

#13: No Hunting For Drivers -- 2nd-most retarded statement on this site.

#14: Awesome Out Of The Box -- 1st-most retarded statement uttered. Ever.

And there you have it -- Macintosh's lies-and-slander against the PC's. Don't take me into consideration ... we're really good people. Just lying bastards like these really grind my gears (haha, Family Guy reference FTW).

Emissions & Remissions

Aye, so I see the first (well, second in my books, but first released teaser xD) of the SoA went over well, so far. I'll type up the first page, sometime, that details the shocking invasion of the bazaar district sometime ... along with Sylaris's and Komali's poor gray dwarf friend, Orill. xDD

Oh, and I solo'ed my attunement to Molten Core in World of Warcraft yesterday. And, let me tell you, it was-- ... who am I kidding? It was easy as /hell/! I didn't even die /once/!! xD It just required a few potions (that weren't too expensive, either) ... and I'm so close to completing the Onyxia Key chain it's not even funny! D:

Anywho, there are a couple of other games I used to absolutely /love/ that I forgot to point out, as well. Theme Hospital and Pizza Tycoon. They were kickass-er games that, somehow, I failed to mention two-posts ago. Stupid, stupid, me ... ... ...

And then, I read through my /entire/ Fated Souls role-play on Gaia ... from the beginning ... all 53 pages, 15-posts-per-pages of it. It took a few hours, but I got some info out of it I would've totally forgotten otherwise if I hadn't've recapped. And, now, for a few really cool 'ooc's from back then I intercepted and will post here for your viewing pleasure.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"I try my best to serve the people. -salutes- xD" - Raftacon (Reaper)
“Oh, but now I've found a way to get around it, Jade. *points to last post before this one*
Serve the people, eh? Hmm.... *plots evil plot*” - Animagenic (Maricia)
“0.0; Evil plots are NOT my forte, to plan OR execute. xD Jade pretty much hit the nail right on the head. Or, as Jade corrected me: "I didn't the nail on the head, I got a sledgehammer and pummeled it. XD”” - Raftacon (me, again)

... followed by ...

“Ooc;; -looks up, chewing on a straw- Oh hell, it's Luke.” - D.B.A (Jade)

... as well as ...

“Awesome. My poll has 8 votes and there are 7 cast members. Score.” - Raftacon (guess who? xD)

---------------------------------

And now for some additional WoW funniness ... (red is Jade, blue is Reaper)

"'Allo friendly friend friend."
" ... alright, Jade, how much money do you need to borrow this time?"
"xD I'm just saying hi, mate!"
"xD I know, I know."
"But you know, like 200 gold would be nice."
":D"
"xD Welllll ..."
"Haha, kidding."
"Sent."
"o_O"
"Dude, you're .. Omg! ><;"
"Well, 25 instead of 200, but still helpful, right?"
"Yeah. xD"
"xDD"
"Runecloth FTW!"
"Aye."

----------------------------------------

Anddd ... end of the FS&WoW-ooc-recap. xD Instead, it's time for me to wrap this all up with a friendly goodbye.

Now get the f*ck out of my blog, pansy!

Excerpt From "Shards of Avalon"

This is a short excerpt from the currently revamped fantasy-fiction story I'm working on. Read it over and offer your comments. Hope you like. Enjoy.

"The animated undead's polearm let loose a metallic 'clang' that reverberated down the stairwell, its body collapsing to the floor, a small bullet lodged into its forehead. Komali backstepped, closing the door behind him and fastening the deadbolt. "Damn, these things are persistent," Komali almost said jokingly, taking care to reload a shot into his dwarven rifle.

Sylaris gazed out of the window, seemingly lost in his own world. "You do know what this means, don't you?" he inquired, his normal tone seemingly disappearing.

"No, ... what?" Komali replied to the question, the sound of pounding against the wooden door raising his arlam and causing him to aim down the sight of his rifle by reflex.

"It means that he must've already finished the ritual ... we obviously don't have as much time as we thought we did."

"And exactly how much time do we have left?" Komali asked nervously, inching his way back across and towards the door.

"None." Sylaris replied grimly, glancing over at the door and removing the greatsword holstered across his back. Merely seconds after Sylaris had prepared for an assault of sorts, and undead hand slowly crept its fingers over the windowsill behind him.

"Behind you!" Komali yelled, yet Sylaris had already sensed the movement to his back. Swirling around, he struck at the hand, severing its fingers. Peering out the window, he watched with satisfaction as the remainder of the undead went soaring down and into the district below.

Turning his attention towards the door, he rose his sword above his head with deathly force, motioning for Komali to slide the latch and pull the door open. Simply nodding,h e complied. As the door swung open upon its hinges, Sylaris lunged for the unarmed animation and swung, severing it diagonally from its torso towards the floor. Not pausing to wait for the body to fall, he continued his way down the stairwell.

Komali lowered his firearm and kept it to his side, maneuvering himself down behind Sylaris until he reached the end of the stairwell. Darting his eyes towards his left and right, he sighted down his firearm, yet read the room as all-clear. Giving the sign to Stlaris, he moved out and to his left to meet up with the bar counter.

Komali did the same, leaping the barrier and landing between the bar counter and the shelves of ale. Reaching to his left for a bottle of ale, he grabbed a mug fro under the counter and poured a shot of alcohol, handing it to Sylaris. "Why not?" Sylaris grinned, grabbing the mug and setting it on the counter. About to raise the mug to his lips, he heard the sound of creaking wood to his west.

Drawing his sword and ducking just in time that the dwarven mug soared over his head, crashing into the planks of the wooden wall behind him, shards of marble and glass showering the floor. "My, aren't you a strong one?" Sylaris asked, taking in his opponent.

"A dwarven animation?" Komali asked, quirking an eyebrow and raising his weapon, taking in his undead opponent much the same as Sylaris was currently in the process of. The short and stocky dwarf (like most of the race was, of course) was beginning to ramble his way towards them from across the bar-section of the inn, a wicked smile crossing his pale, gray face. His teeth rotted and his flesh rotting, one of his dark brown eyes slowly worked its way around and into the back of his head. "I've never seen one of them before." Komali muttered, temporarily lowering his weapon.

"Neither have I," replied Sylaris, matter-of-factly.

"Well, one option, then," Komali suggested, raising the firearm to eye-level, pulling back the hammer, closing his left eye, and aiming down the sights of the rifle. Zooming in towards the undead dwarf's head, Komali held his finger to the trigger.

'Hope you enjoy the Demonweb, scourge ..."

A Little Mismatch of Various Odds-'n-Ends

Yes, yes. My, hasn't my first day of our school's two-week break been a pretty interesting one? I thought I was getting sick late Sunday night, but I drank some tea, popped some pills (joking, of course), and went to sleep and was better this morning (huzzah!). And then what did I do? I finished a beat for Jade (you're welcome, man) ... I went onto XBOX Live ('cause, for some odd reason, I had the craving to) and played, like, 4 Skirmishes on Halo 2.

I checked Gaia off-and-on to see if anybody had posted. Sadly enough, there were none. But, alas, I have not given up hope. I just pray the pacing goes faster soon enough. Or ... *trails off* ... =/

Mm, but I have tried my crack at getting an old Windows 95 / MS-DOS 3.1 game running on my computer (again). It's name is Fragile Allegiance and it used to be one of my favorite games as a child. I didn't understand half the stuff that was going on besides exploding asteroids, horrible micromanagment on my part, and blowing sh*t up with missiles that exterminated planets at a time. Y'know? Fun.

Well, I got it working. I had to delete logo.exe and then set fragile.exe for the Windows 95 compatibility mode. The game works, generally. Aside from a couple of non-important glitches that could probably be ironed out sometime ... the sound skips and is /very/ choppy, but I can always just disable. If the game starts to feel like it's bogging down, you just hit the Windows key or Alt-Tab out and then Alt-Tab back in. And, bam! Back as new. The only other downfall is that everytime you try to rename a fleet or colony the game ... well, freezes. And you can't rename savegames (so get it right the first time, damn it! xD), but that's not too bad, is it?

So, FA got me thinking -- what other games did I used to like from my childhood. I didn't understand half of it, again, but it seemed pretty f**king cool -- Space: 1889. It was cool. It was an RPG. Hell, I guess I got hooked early, didn't I? It was just about as cool as the other 2 I used to play without really totally understanding: MegaTraveler 1 (with better info here), as well as Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday. I also wanted Neverhood from an early age, but I fulfilled that prophecy a few years ago and, clearly, wasn't disappointed.

So then I began to recall some of the sh*ttiest game choices I've ever made. First off, looking down my CD rack, I see Harbinger. Hell, it seemed like Diablo 2 in space. Could I've been more wrong? I don't think so. It seemed really unoriginal, boring, and uncreative. Not to be confused with Zax: The Alien Hunter. Z:TAH seemed to be a pretty good game, but it didn't really keep my interest for long. But was it better than Harbinger? Yes. Definitely.

Oh, and, now that I recall it, I've tried getting Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire up-and-running again. Now, those games used to be kickass. Too bad I'm having trouble getting them running on XP, nowadays. I guess that's my next project over the next 11+ days besides ironing out the bugs in Fragile.

"So, Reaper," you might ask, "What have you playing recently?" Well, young readers, I've been playing the various GunGame multiplayer mods on CS:Source ("Shaedy" written all fancy, for you nonbelievers) and I picked up a copy of Dungeon Siege II from my local Best Buy (two towns away. =P) I believe that DSII is much better than its predecessor, despite what the reviewers might say.

What games might you be picking up now? you might ask, as well. Well, I think I'll wait for the new sh*t to come out ... The Witcher looks pretty cool. I've (obviously) been keeping my eye on those Halo 3 rumors, MGS4 info, and Gears of War release date. It's been pretty cool. A new dawn of gaming, so to speak.

Yeah, and I also picked up some new songs while listening to the radio. I'm not responsible for how you get them, but as long as you download them (*cough* LIMEWIRE *cough*) or buy the albums (loser! xD Kidding, kidding,) just pick these up, will ya?

• "Attitude" - by Alien Ant Farm
• "Another Perfect Day" - by American Hi-Fi
• "Do It Alone" - by Sugarcult
• "Alive and Kicking" - by Nonpoint
• "Paralyzed" - Rock Kills Kid
• "Burning Bright" - Shinedown
  

Have fun, kiddos.

--"Reaper"

P.S. -- Oh, right-- ... and, Luke? You wanted me to level you to 30? Yeah, I did that for you ... and parked your character in a special place, afterwards, ... without a hearthstone. xD Have fun navigating your way out, little man. You'll get no help from me. Peace.

P.S.S. -- And, a couple of funny quotes I heard over the past few days. Keep them to heart and enjoy.

• Guild leader's comment -- "There once was a monkey in Nantucket. He talked, but all he would say was 'f... it'." xD
• Bumper sticker (sarcasm) -- "Work harder! Millions on welfare depend on you!"
