    Well, it was a good while back, and La does have a very good memory when it comes to bouncing cat tails, it seems ; ) Thanks again to every one for the birthday cheers!
  2. Ah, but I will forever be remembered for this one it seems ; )

  3. It's my birthday, and I'll mew if I want to, mew if I want to!

    Thank you all! I could not find any desserts near by with blackberry in it, so I nabbed myself a raspberry cheesecake instead >_> I went to my sister's belly dance recital, and had some Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam, which is not in my spell checker for some reason. I don't know why, lingonberry is tasty ^_^

    The girls are happy, even if the apartment is a little chilly these days. At least there are always two kittehs near by to generate fuzzy belly warmth...mmmm, kittehs on my feet. No new pictures, at the moment, since I seem to have lost my CF card for my camera >_<

    I hope every one has some one warm and fuzzy to cuddle with this Winter!
  4. Just thought I would do a little birthday post for our missing cookie Mistress, Miss Noire.

    Merry Smurf Day!

    We're old now!
  5. Merry Nerf day, to one and all!

    *Starts bonking people with the traditional festive nerf sword.*
  6. Yay! Guardian on a Friday, when I am still at work o.o

    Of course I have the week before off, oh well : (

    Hope every one has fun out there!
  7. Not only did I love this horrible movie, but I love my Arachnos Soldiers as well ^_^

    On the last day of DXP, I managed to start my team of five freaks, and it was love at first bite!

    Eight Legged Freaks: The off Broadway musical >_>

    I don't have many shots of their progress, since it was all too much fun, and went by so quickly. Especially thanks to the Halloween event. ToTing with an organized group of AoE monsters is surprisingly decent XP. But I had to take a moment when they got to their first set of spiders ^_^

    Even my crabs have crabs >.>

    They are my little bundles of machine gunning joy, and if I could, I would give each one their own name.

    Timmy, Billy, Luke, Kyle, Robbie, Eustace...


    And thanks to a prodigious night of ToTing with Zy, and a few others, they get to hang out with their big brothers now too ^_^

    Crud, I stepped on Timmy again! Time to get a new Timmy.


    I just plain adore this group. I don't even mind being stuck with the crab pack, it's worth it in the end ^_^

    And anything can look good with color coordination.


    And Zy has a whole slew of shots from the night here, including the wonder and mystery that is the dancing sidewalk sprites.



    I love this game ^_^ And I absolutely cannot wait to see how Ultra mode kills my machine ; ) I hope every one out there is having a happy Halloween!
  8. That freaked me out a little >_> In most forums I frequent, I am known as PG.

    Wait, where am I? Oh yeah! Guardian!



    Doing my best to help populate the "Low Population" server ; ) I had to scroll my main one on the right there to show some of the second page.

    And just a warning if you click to see the full size, it is the full resolution of my two monitors, so it is kinda huge >_> And yes, my sister's account on the right is mostly unused. I just keep it active out of spite >_< There is no way I can let an account with the horribly pink Scrae, and names like Pucker Bomb, Captain Hobo, and EncyclopediaBoy lapse o.0

    Any who, that's where I am ^_^

    Heheh, I can hear the heavenly choir from on high.

    "Waaaaaaaaah!"

    Giant Monty Python foot of god squashes down on Scrae!

    "Splort!"

    Silly blaster, why bother getting back up ; )


    Edit: Oh, and on the KittyCon one, I could see there being a blast effect coming from the portal and sheering off Con's silhouette...Holy crap, I spelled silhouette correctly on the first try >_> I was worried about that one o.0

    *Tries to think of ways to define blast effect.*

    Hmm, nope, I fail. Kind of like this though. Light coming off a silhouette in a haze, or mist o.0



    I fail at picture finding >_>

    Gonna finish off this one mission arc on my toon Bane Recluse on freedom then I'll poke at these a bit.
    I'm also gonna take a guess that the names are just variations on the letter L and I as well so you got Evil Multiplier and then you got EviI Multiplier then Evil MuItiplier and etc. etc.
    Heh, if only taking screen shots could be an art, I might have more to do in this forum >_> And you guessed it on the Evil Multipliers ; ) With three lower case Ls in there, I could have had a full team of eight Evil Multipliers...If only I had the cash for that many accounts, and a machine capable of running them o.0

    If you ever want big ol screen shots of something in particular, or one of your characters, just lemme know. Like I need excuses to hit that capture button ; )

    Screen shots to play with? >_>

    I can do that <_<

    Evil Multipliers: Five Thug/Dark masterminds. Mutant siblings, clones, or one freak that can multiply? You'll have to make your way through their 85 minions to ask 0.o

    Stormy Weather: Five Storm/Elec defenders. Left to right, Dust Devils Delight, Glorious Gale, Sudden Squall, Tropical Tempest, and Lightning Love. All alliteration awesomesause ^_^

    Kitty Construct: Giant Kitty Mech Kinetic/Radiation defender. Powered by internal tuna fission drive.

    Scrae: Doing what most magical Electric/Fire blaster demons do after jumping in to combat. Rezzing himself >_>

    Oh, and then I made my Arachnids ^_^

    Sicariidae SoA 1-8
    L.Barbara SoA 1-8
    L.Laeta SoA 1-8
    L.Reclusa SoA 1-8
    L.Sonora SoA 1-8

    I just noticed, checking the files for my chatlog. It saves all the information for all my accounts that are running to one .txt file for the day. So I have three chatlogs for this weekend. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. In total, they are 104 MB in size 0.o They record all the damage information for all of my pets, on all my accounts, for three days >_>

    It reads like this...

    And this is just one second of combat o.0 The seconds where my Dark Servant's heal hits take up several pages, as the heal hits 40 odd minions >_<

    Any who, a good weekend all in all! Time to delete some log files o.0
  13. BlackberryThorn

    12! Wait... 13!!

    The Evil Multipliers crack open 7 12 packs of crisp, refreshing Pepsi to celebrate the event.

    ...And then rob several convenience stores for more Pepsi, because it wasn't enough 0.o
  14. BlackberryThorn

    Woot #19!

    The Evil Multipliers throw a dance party in your honor!

    ...and promptly get the thread busted by the police for noise pollution >_>
  15. BlackberryThorn

    Sweet 16!

    The Evil Multipliers salute you! That's like...umm, 90 odd salutes o.0

    Way to go!
  16. Evil!

    Multipliers, that is ^_^



    They have finally hit the mark! Now I finally feel complete >_> After being in a game slump for such a long time, and letting the Seraph's accounts take a break, I needed that ^_^ It was a long, hard road...

    You don't believe me, do you? Yeah, I wouldn't either o.0 It was awesome the whole way through, and I did it like the complete loner I am! Take that Massive Multiplayer! I AM the "MM" in MMO : p



    My gigantic ego aside, it was fun. Especially when I did have people along to run with me. Funny, they usually ended up being MMs too >_>

    And now, or, at least for the next two hours, I am getting my eight legged freak on!



    Booyah!

    Thenk you for enduring my self gratifying achievement post >_>
  17. Finally working on the Evil Multipliers again! Finished up the Midnighters arc, and headed to Cim.

    300: Evil Multiplier edition

    Spoiler alert, the Spartans all die >.>


    Only made it from 44 to 45 so far, but it's progress ; )
  18. La is for the win!

    Still no real game time in yet. But did a little more testing >_>

    Varying degrees of wrongness.

    With the graphics on standard settings for all six windows, I was using about 95% of my six gigs of RAM on average. Processor not pushed at all. Hmm, need more accounts, and more RAM...why? Because I want to try.

    Is it so wrong to want to be an entire team of eight?

    When I wake up, may be I will actually get around to nabbing some of that sweet DXP : p

    Heh, if I turn it all the way up, it kind of sounds like one on boot up >_>

    Oh, and sweet jeebus, they're back!




    I apologize for the screen shot of doom, but they are so pretty, I could almost cry! AND, I can run them all at normal settings, and the main window at max settings. So fast, so smooth...don't want to go to work tonight o.o
  21. Success!

    Got all of my bits in the case before I had to head to work. The most time consuming bit was actually cleaning out the old bits >_>

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...kiee/shell.jpg

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...okiee/husk.jpg

    But the nice thing about my case, once it is cleared out, it is wide open to put bits in ^_^

    Like monster head sinks o.0

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...iee/copper.jpg

    But it is soooo pretty in there, and disperses heat so nicely, with it's large, speed controlled fan.

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...okiee/newb.jpg

    I forgot to take more progress shots as I put the other bits in there, as it was getting down to the wire before I had to head to work. I made it through the installation of all the hardware without problems, or injury. But I did end up smashing my finger at work, that doesn't count though : p

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...kiee/smash.jpg

    And everything booted up just fine the first run when I got home, and Vista installed smoothly, if not really slowly >_<

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...e/vistas-1.jpg

    Everything is up to date now, and CoH FINALLY finished installing to my new SSD. I should have been asleep two hours ago, and all I want to do is try out Team Jupiter with custom power colors >_>
  22. New bits have arrived!


    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...okiee/bits.jpg


    This will be the last gasp of the beast that spawned Team Jupiter, and then, we'll see if we can bring them back for DXP ^_^


    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ee/TJbeast.jpg


    Assuming I can get it put together right ^_^

    Well, you could have parts >_> I am reusing my old case, but the only parts left will be the motherboard, cpu, and video cards. Of course, that might be enough to at least speed up your machine so you can view my photobucket o.0

    Heheh, automatic Nerfage, for all your Nerfing needs! I have been a big fan of Nerf, for a loooong time. My dad would never get me one, so now I buy whatever I freaking want. One of the pump action gatling dart guns, the one with the flash inside that makes the darts glow.

    And back on topic! Err, XP good? Me like!

  24. Well, assuming my order makes it here on time, I should have my new system built, and running by Friday. So, unless I roll a 1 on my system build skill, and stab myself in the foot with a copper heat sink, I should have Team Jupiter up this weekend ^_^

    Since NC is being kind enough to activate all my accounts >_> May be get those five thug/dark MMs of mine to 50, and start an all Arachnos team ^_^ I can always dream <_<

    And if I don't do this, some one will get mad o.0

    Sun cats!



  25. BlackberryThorn

    Finally!

    Hurrrr! I was there! And powering the Kitty Construct, were Molly and Olivia!



    Happy level up day from desk kittens!
