Actually, Meepo's ass got killed by the baby white dragon.

Which then got away.

If the campaign had lasted two hundred campaign years... oh, fuck, that white dragon's revenge was gonna be insane.
...can't type... site sucked a good portion of my day... Curse you internet!!!

I don't think you can run Metroid Pinball on this one. Ninfriendo DF!!
Awwww.....

I think we were trying to kill him, but instead he ran off when the white dragon escaped. Or some shit like that.

Anyway, here is what Meepo the Kobold from Sunless Citadel has been up to these past few years.

Meepo (not to be confused with Memop, the Shitbag.)

Try not to get too sucked into the website and all the other videos (I've sat there for hours at a time, ffs).. but this one I thought was funny and "crowd appropriate".. heh.

Darth Vader Wake Up Call
Elrockenstein:

Our meeting with the Virtual Heroes (America's Army) folks has been pushed back to this coming week, so the final draft of the business plan isn't complete yet. We're hoping to get a semi-formal commitment from the VH CEO this next week so we can complete the remainder of everything else.
Edit: THE TARGET EQUALS THE DISPLAY, FUCKO!

TEH OMFG KEYBOARD LINKY

Crazy.
Rematch? You lose! Had enough? I thought so!

Ja _el : As much as I think we would all like last weekend to happen again, I think elRock out with his cock out is just talking wishful thinking. That was a sweet weekend. Mini-cons aside... Anyway, I am going to take down the N0rt0n file this eve. If you still need it give me a shout.

Elzar : I like the blue lighted keyboard. They are cool, but unfortunately the sweet ones that have back lit keys do not come in 101 key format. When I was looking for one just before I bought the one I have, they all came in that stupid compact keyboard format without the numberpad. What is up with that? WHo wants to use a laptop keboard at home? Anyway, stay away from the Repetative Stress Injury. Bad news. Fortunately now that they weather has turned mine has cooled off a lot and I think I can start painting again. Moving on... You need to move away from the butcher. As David put it, he is a pansy. Ouch. If you like gung-ho caster tactics David had a sweet one. Throw your caster with your Khador Jack in to hand to hand with the other side's caster. He says one of the casters is a terror once he/she is behind the line and in one-on-one banjo man combat fuck with another caster.

Pump : That is a pretty funny mini. Have you ever tried to make a mini or has the green putty only been used for bonding/filling perposes and the occasional mod?

Jonzo : That is eerily similar to certain unspeakable horrors. I wonder if the jewlry design had some sort of devine influence, and not the goody two-shoes kind, while craft the star? Are we going to hook up for some Warmachine madness this weekend? Ja -El are you up for an ass creaming by Jorn this weekend?

Art-a-fArtichoke : May a little eNron demon never spawn from these loins. I dont think I could ever handle the sleep issue, or lack thereof.

D>M>
Aaron is the greatest.

thx 4 uploading that monstrous file to me. I sorely needed the healing effects of norton, as the hard drive has been eatin shit lately. I think the more you have to reboot from computer crashes, it irrevocably adds ticks to it's eventual demise.

Also, is anyone really gonna make it up to SF this weekend?

j and a, I'll be leaving on the 26th, so anyhow, so there's still some time to do some warmachine gamin. I'm not totally addicted, but it's a fun game.

Oooooh! Nothing says lovin like a pendant of everlasting doom and damnation... I'm repulsed and intrigued at the same time. Hentacle anyone?

For all you Blood Bowl nerds... ok, for Eric then. This. Genius.

Give the Gift of the Old Ones, From Tiffany

HP Lovecraft nerds: does this seem vaguely evocative?
Command and Colors: Ancients

So, GMT put out a version of Richard Borg's Command and Colors series, and I, being a sucker for both Battle Cry and Memoir '44, pre-ordered it, and it arrived yesterday!

Mid-range production quality: stiff, folding card map, thin card terrain tiles, desktop publishing artwork feel. However, the pieces are wooden blocks that stand on edge, a la Wizard Kings, but with no fog of war (read: the pictures are on the same on both sides). Anyway, I spent the night sticking on something like 650 stickers.... OMG.

My hand was already suffering from micro-arthritis due to WoW, DS, and painting. Ugh.

Anyway, the game looks good, and the rules are not as simple as Battle Cry and Memoir, so far it feels like a mix between Memoir and DBA. Good stuff!

Also, I got the same keyboard that Enron has. Cool! Blue lights means better keyboard, right? And the only mouse that was large enough to fill my hand up, which is why I think I am having trouble with my hand, because I tend to "spider" my hand on top of the small Microsoft mouse I have, was the Brand Spankin New Logitec LASER Mouse! Gone are the days of Optical, here are the days of Laser!

It's wireless, and I don't know what I feel about that, but I think it is helping my hand a little bit, so that is good. All I know is that Leslie said she would have my balls if I develop a condition because of playing World of Warcraft, so I better start trying to alleviate any problems before they REALLY get started.

Good to see (almost) everyone!

fARTichocke: How is the business plan coming along? We have high hopes of selling the house, there is an apparently "interested" couple checking it out tomorrow. Which means I need to plan a date to come out to Vegas to talk shop. Sweet song, BTW.

Oh, and before I forget.. check it:

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON MP3
I'm back, bitches!

My computar has been very sickly the last couple of months, so I did a complete reinstall of windoze and everything is working superb-like now. Although, my graphics card blew up again (FTW!?).. so I get to RMA it again. Yay.

I was having some kind of problem posting to teh blogger due to some kind of java issue.. but I seem to have that rectified. And by rectified, I do mean analyzed.

Not a lot new to report. School starts back up next week. I got my official grades for last semester and managed to pull straight A's.. weee! I tanked all my "hotel" classes for the coming semester and have replaced them with a smattering of entreprenurial classes and 3D modelling/animation courses. I'm taking five classes this semester which is a little intimidating.. but I'm thinking that I should be alright. I hope. Heh. The game-development continues on and is still picking up speed. We're about to have a working and functional beta in the next week or two which is very exciting. (Rude.. now would be the time to produce some sounds, holmes!)

The baby is good.. getting bigger and more active by the day. I knew it would just be a matter of time until she cracked the barrier defenses to the kitchen (been using the dinner-table bench to wall it off).. I just wasn't thinking it'd be so quickly. Feh. She's aparently also figured out she can push chairs out of the way and that pillows are easily removable obstacles. Today, she burrowed under the bench after removing the wall of pillows I had stuffed under it and was about a 1/2 second away from dumping the entire box of Bisquick on the kitchen floor. I swear to God, she has some kind of cloaking/warp drive that allows her to wormhole all over the house wreaking havoc on new messes while I clean up the previous disaster area. Anyway. We start toddler gymnastics tomorrow morning. I'm not sure how, exactly that's supposed to work, but my mother in law has signed us up and paid for the class.. so we'll give it a shot! Heh.. For those without kids, this paragraph was likely very dull. For those about to have kids.. muwwahahaha.. you will never sleep again. Or have a clean house. Or not have foreign food/snot/slobber/puke/fluids on your clothes/person. But, I wouldn't trade it for the world. =)

Oh man, I am so up for it!

Do it! And I'll field a real army instead of Captain No-Command and His Amazing Batshit Robot.

(Uh-oh... speaking of "doing it," I think my downstairs neighbors are at it right now! That's probably a good time for me to sneak off and have a poo. I hate having a poo knowing they can hear me.)

(Wait they stopped. Damn, I have to hold out until they go to bed.)

Anyway! I paid for my four AM adventure by regressing back into illness, but today I am about where I was on Saturday, so hooray for the human body! Well worth it in my opinion. Eric when you come back up; we'll go to the game store in Berkeley and try your luck at the Amoeba there. I heard that they totally have a bunch of copies of The Prisoner -- totally!

Hope you guys had a safe/fun trip back filled with many trips to Dairy Queen!

"Four and a half hours is not a long time. At noon." -- A wise man.
Rematch!

I realized what a buffoon I was trying to take the Butcher up the middle without any support from Magisheesh to help my advance! Of course, the butcher realized it before I did, but that is neither here nor there....

So, what I suggest is that we all reconvene in SF again, for an identical weekend, next weekend, and instead of playing with the Butcher, I will play with Vlad instead! Sound good? Okay, Mike get your ticket, and Aaron get the day off, grow back your moustache, and Jon, get another ear infection.

I have the Warmachine bug again, so I am ready to paint up Vlad and get to it again! I think I will substitute the Armadillo for the pikemen, pikeman kapitan and standard, and Widowmakers next time. I think it is almost the same price, and I think it would give me some more options...

... and lose the Gobbo. Useless bugger.
