For some reason, I couldn't keep away from FFXI. And I actually hated the game. But every time an expansion came out, I found myself in line with it at some store.

The missus and I tried out Everquest 2 over the Labor day weekend. It had been years since I played the game (I actually cancelled it to start playing CoH - sunrise, sunset I guess).

I was not having it. I just couldn't get into it. I even started to download the original Everquest, but I fear that is more nostalgia than actual desire to play.

I still maintain a freebie DCUO account on the PS3. I really dug playing the game. It felt easy enough on a controller and I was leveling up fantastically. Add in the ability to run around Gotham's East End and I'm sold. I haven't really played it much since I moved in July but I guess it's better time than ever.

And I'm still looking at a stack of PS3 titles. Mass Effect 2 and 3, Jak and Daxter Collection, unplayed copy of Starhawk. Among others. Lots of do.

But as for my MMO fix, I finally decided to give WoW a real chance. Maybe it's the sting of losing CoH, but I didn't want to pick up another game that has a remote chance of being canned in the next year.

Tomorrow's the big day folks!

Well, it is the Anger Management post from that Friday.

And it's Owen Good.


So, two strikes before I'd even have to read it.

fingers crossed for allowing Praetorian alignments out of Praetoria.

Was a little disappointed to see Superpack 2 was added to the collect tab, but not appeared.

Issue with the planned maintenance?

Howard also has a few Lineage 2 posters in his room (Obvious in the episode where Penny verbally castrates him)

My first thought went to "oh cool, I wonder if this means Praetorian alignments can visit Hero/Villain zones now"

A couple of quick scheduling notes...

It appears I will be available nearly all day Friday. As a result, we'll be adding in a sewer runs, map runs, whatever else we can run till the planned activities that evening. So keep an eye on the global channel and I'll be announcing what is to be run there.

Edit: We'll also be running a ventrilo server again. There won't be anything ventrilo specific during the Fun Faire, but it'll be available. PM me or Cami for the info.

See everyone there!

A small-ish update regarding Cami's fun faire.

Here's the tentative plan for Cami's Fun Faire Fall 2012. As I mentioned earlier, we won't be able to devote as much time as we would like but we figure it'll still be some fun.

The planned events start in the afternoon. Cami and I will be working on Friday morning, but she'll be doing things out of the channel on Saturday and Sunday starting morning-ish (EST), whether it be random sketches or sewer runs. And during downtime (after the planned events more than likely), I'll be doing runs through Praetorian, Nemesis, Clockwork maps (majority rules on what we run) to help out folks.

Friday
5:30 PM (EST) - ITF - The first of many.
Afterwards - Sewer runs. More than likely blueside. Bring out your lowbies and we'll make sure to get everyone to 20 because....

Saturday
5:30 PM (EST) - Penelope TF - Blueside.
Followed by - Admiral Sutter TF - Blueside (Both are 20+)
Followed by - ITF

Sunday
5:30 PM (EST) ITF
Followed by a very kill heavy (Cami's Patron Saint) Synapse TF.

This is the tentative plan. Subject to change (I personally would like to a Mort Kal but we do this for you guys, not us). We weren't sure about hosting a costume contest again, it'll depend on demand. If not, I'm sure Cami has a method for handing out the finished art prize and I'll figure some method to distribute the 500 million influence.

For those who weren't present last time, we aim for kill heavy runs. And this is designed to be enjoyable, so we ask that everyone have fun with it!

For details, please join Cami's art channel (/chanjoin mvmarcz art) or send one of us (@terribledeli or @mvmarcz) a message and we'll get you invite!

And oh yes, I have seen the rough sketch of this Faire's poster. Stay tuned!

Duff Killigan homage ahoy!

With the double exp weekend coming up, we'll be hosting another fun faire. It won't be as extensive as last time's kill heavy TF commander run (Cami has to spend that friday in teacher meetings and I'm out of vacation days), but we'll still cook up something fun.

Expect ITF runs at least. Maybe some runs through the Night Ward arcs since I've got Praetorians to level.

Since Darabont and his slow burn style is completely gone, I'd expect a more rapid pace.

It was odd to see the dynamic that Rick is the bigger psychopath than The Governor, though I'm sure it'll turn out the be the reverse when it comes to it

Woodbury also appeared more like the Safe Zone than Woodbury in the comic, though I'm sure they're going for a "darkness hides behind the surface beauty" angle.

I'm almost certain the more emphasis on the Governor has to do with merchandising than regaining the pure comic book fan since RoTG went paperback recently, and the Road to Woodbury is due out soon-ish. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if the television Governor even picked up a few Negan-isms, just to help cross promote TB17 due out around the season premiere.

Speaking of the comic, been a little disappointed with Something to Fear. The "gasp moment" in Issue 100 was predictable as sin. Even Adlard's art couldn't save me from putting down the book.

Mad Max with zombies is bad writing and Kirkman should feel bad.

Sounds like fun.

Location?

Till the code generator is brought out like for the facepalm emotes, I'll just do without.

It was posted on the facebook account that there may have been legal issues from not doing it on there. Have things changed so dramatically in a year regarding giveaways? Not a sarcastic question, I just don't follow the facebook dealings enough to know.

Better as Jon McGuirk.

So I wonder if this is where the Winter wolf will end up. I was hoping for a Winter wolf/Black wolf two'fer like the jungle cats one but I guess not.
