Streaming The Liveliness

Streaming across the internet is a pretty cool thing, even if some want to see streaming go away. I’ve messed around with it in the past with nothing too big or special (aside from Pink Day in LA from last year, of course!) but lately I’ve started going at it a little more hard than normal, even stringing along my brother to help in my streaming crusade, as it were. Now, I’m never one for schedules, but I’m trying something new and that’s always a fun experience. So, every day from 1PM to 4PM EST(EDT) I’ll be streaming some of my gaming sessions. Why? I like the attention, but it also gives me a chance to ramble about strange and interesting ideas that normally wouldn’t come to mind if I were not playing a game.

Most of it will be filled with sarcasm and chuckles. Some of it filled with me and my brother poking fun at each other. But, there will be a few, rare times that will be absolute gold. It’ll be fun for everyone, I promise. So, check it out on it’s own new and special page linked above, or head over here.

Stay lazy, streamers.

ArenaNet and All of My Rage

Scratch ‘Rage’, I meant ‘Love’, honest!

I actually don’t hate ArenaNet, despite what certain articles may imply. I love them, to near-death. They managed to create a game that satiated a lot of my gaming needs, and I admit, I do disagree with some of their later updates to the 6-year old game, but it’s time to put that all behind us now because on the horizon is Guild Wars 2.

“But, Connor! Didn’t you write from 5 years in the future warning us about the follies of Guild Wars 2?” Well, yeah, but that was jumbled randomness mixed with irrational fears (except the alchemist bit, that’s still true…maybe). So, what do I want to talk about now for Guild Wars 2? Well, read on. Continue reading →

It’s Friday!

No, it’s not Friday, it’s just a normal, Thank-God-It’s-Friday-and-Almost-The-Weekend Friday. So, what’s been going on? Stuff! Can you imagine that? I bet you couldn’t. So, let’s talk about this ‘stuff’.

Well, first off, I’m working semi-working on some projects in-between assignments for college and other things, like websites. Two in particular, are new and still need some tender loving. First we have a livestream capture of my adventures through Rift’s world of Telara. Why? Because I can, and I can look back on it later and sigh at how noobish I was when leveling my mage. Nothing too special about it, but I’ll ramble while playing it sometimes, and me rambling is always good fun, so check it out.

The other project is for my more imaginative side. It’s no secret I love me some Minecraft, but when playing one evening, I had an urge to do some self-reflecting while I ran away screaming like a girl from a creeper. In short, I decided I would look more into this self-reflection and write about the strange world of Minecraft. It’s a tale of isolation and self-discovery and some other really important character-developing things. You can check out how it’s progressing over here.

Now that those have been talked about briefly, let us talk about what’s going on this weekend! More importantly, this Saturday. This Saturday, the Gaming World Entertainment Network (GW-EN) is hosting a Guild Wars in-game event called the ‘Toga Party for MS’. It’s a charity event being held to raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and gather up donations for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. There are even a bunch of awesome, geeky prizes. Like Star Wars toys action figures, and some comics! You’ll have to head over to the main Toga Party page for more info. And if you play Guild Wars, stop by Chahbek Village International Districts for in-game fun.

Stay lazy, my friends.
