So, About This ‘SOPA’ Thing

Yes, a belated “Happy New Year!” and an even more late “Happy holiday!” to everyone. It’s a new year, but for me it’s just another day of college and web design so forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm. Now then, to the main meat of this post, but before I do, I want to make a thing or three clear. I don’t like using the word ‘hate’. I try not to use it because I don’t actually hate many things. So when I say, “I hate politics.” I want the full meaning to get through. I don’t hate the people in politics or governments, but most of the time I’ll disagree with some of their views. I’m too lazy to hate, but politics can get my brows all furled in anger. So, with that little note out of the way, let’s get to the topic at hand. Continue reading →

One More Extra Life on Pink Day

Luna's gonna loon

Aerosmith is still cool. Also, it’s funny because one would think I would post Pinkie Pie with that caption, but Pinkie Pie isn’t my favorite pony. And since the front page of my blog needs at least one pony, I figure, “Why not my favorite?” Hence, Luna with the text overlay! I mean, look at her! She looks so happy! Wait, what was I going to talk about?

So, 4 years ago. The summer of 2007. Guild Wars was strong as ever as and everyone was waiting for Eye of the North to be released. The guild I was in, Burning Dragons of Tyria (now Draconus Reincarnatus) was slowly growing and the game was still fun. I mean, it still is, but it was more like a fresh-fun back in the day. Anyway, 4 years ago there was this crazy idea that three very cool people in the guild came up with. If you’ve not figured out what I’m talking about, it’s Pink Day in LA. Anyway, the three of us (Kitty, who’ve I’ve not seen in forever, Rayala or Ray Ray as I like to call her (who does awesome art and has a twitter account she rarely uses *le cough* @LaRayala, and yours truly) sat around in Lion’s Arch talking about cool things that cool people talk about when we came up with the idea, and a month and a few weeks later there was Pink Day in LA 2007.

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.
