Game of Thrones and Twilight Imperium It Is!
OK, well since people seem enthusiastic about Game of Thrones I've scheduled a Sunday game for 3-7 pm (by which time everybody should be sick of the dealer room). It could get changed to a slightly different time. Bum rush that shit, yo!
I'm also signing up to run a Twilight Imperium game Saturday at 1-7 pm. Any interested? (Aaron, Johnny?) I'll also let my SF game crew know about it.
Game of Thrones!
Twilight Imperium!

Help me pick games to run
OK, so if you're a judge for 6 hours at KublaCon, you can get your full registration refunded. I'm cool with that! I was thinking that I could try to pick games you guys would like to play/would play anyway and then try to just get you guys in. Of course it could all backfire and culminate with Eric being raped on the table by Ham Man. But I thought I'd give it a shot.
I was thinking about some combination of the following:
Game of Thrones (3 hours)
Ticket to Ride (1-2 hours -- probably a barjillion games of that already)
Puerto Rico (hey-o!) (2 hours)
Space Hulk (2 players, 2 hours)
Risk: Godstorm (2-3 hours)
Pirate's Cove (2 hours)
HeroScape (4 players -- 2 hours)
Alhambra (2 hours)
Shit I dunno. Anyone?

GhostOrb.com
Interesting stuff here. Remember Klooge and OpenRPG? It looks like there is a new kid on the block that is ready to clear those other two out of town. GhostOrb is a web-based, voice-conferencing bit if software that apparently will run from their server, using their server space and can be adapted for use with any RPG out there. Sounds interesting, and sounds like what we were looking for before Mike left, and also sounds a lot like what my final design document was for my video game studies class at UCI.... *grumble*

My feet are cold
O: I feel for you. Moving is the blurst. Its stressful and a lot of work. You never realize how much crap you have until you have to pack it all up. Everytime I move I am amazed at how much crap I have aquired. I was surprised yesterday when I realized that the 12th is in a week.
Ja -El: Hmmm Cyber eh? Been a long time since I tried that. I never liked it. Too wierd. Might as well just look at pr0n online or in your private stash is what I determined.

LOL!
Johny Five, you will be found guilty and sentenced to listen to 24 hours straight of OY DATS MY LEG if you cannot produce screen shots and/or video of this encounter. I know, I know.. a guy only has so many hands.. but you could have at least taken one off the MOUSE for a second to hit the screenie button a few times. Hehe..
Fwap Fwap Fwap

A whole new side of (beef) World of warcraft...
Last night, was definitely an eye-opener, as to what can happen if you stay up until 3 am in the morning. It also strengthens the game improvement theories I mentioned to Jon a few weeks ago. Just hanging out in a virtual world, separates a thin thin line between what's real and whats not. The only restriction is the actual character emotes in the game programming. So my theory to jon was this... why not have a fighting game incorporating character developement such as in the Sims? Developement of character happiness and relationships in the virtual world is just as important as fighting monsters and leveling. Look at the psuedo Ebay at Iron forge. Ebay is a success, but so is IF AH. The time people spend there figuring out it's intricacies, speaking from experience, is just a tad less than the actual time spent questing. Would it not be cool if you can see ur character hug another? Just a thought.
But moving on to Thyberx... so I was innocently standing in the AH, running up some calculations on how to make more gold, donning my new guild tabard. My guildies started bombarding me with tells and for some reason some strangers were also asking me what price they should sell *khoo's point* (my blue magical spear). So i was busy telling back, when all of a sudden a tall hot, Elven vixen who's name i won't disclose, whispered in my ear asking if "she knew me from somewhere". We conversed a bit, on my guild, and what not. We offered each other some items and i offered her some potions all the while with little bits of pleasantry. Now at this time, i wasn't quite sure if she was a he, and a little innocent coo went on here and there, such as a hug, or a smile and we talked about how hot her character looked. I decided to take off my talbard to show her how hot my character was with his abs showing (from the half chestplate) and she agreed. That's when she disrobed and started dancing to my chagrin!! Going along with it, I got naked and started dancing, asking her if she liked it with the plate boots on and who was her daddy. u get the point. After we danced, then i asked her if she would like to duel and we went outside dueling naked with fist fighting. She started to tell me to punch her in the back of the head??? wtf? I found out though she was married and was 28 and was a canadian/german.
I figured she was quite a freaky german lady, and after a bit, we called it nites.
that was it.

So.. uh..
I've got three days until the movers show up.. (OMGWTFSTFU!)
Wow.. freaking out a little bit.
On a positive note.. had a cleaning crew (guy and wife) come over to the house tonight to give me a bid on helping paint a couple of rooms, clean both bathrooms and the kitchen as well as generally clean the rest of the house. I was thinking I'd get something in the ballpark of $400-600 for that kind of work at LEAST.. and the dude thought about it, talked to his wife in Russian for a bit and asked me if $150 would be ok. I said "A HUNDRED AND FIFTY?" (to which, the guy made a facial expression of abject terror, thinking I was saying he was overcharging me..lol).. I told him I wouldn't settle for paying him anything less than $200 and being there myself to lend a hand. Their reaction was kind of a bit of confusion when struck with my counteroffer.. but we shook on it and they'll be over Wednesday morning for breakfast and cleaning.
Man, THAT is a serious load off.. no painting and long hours of scrubbing for me!

EEEY!!! Firetree name: Oshbigun
Honestly, the new server is cool and starting a new character on a brand new server makes sense. But i don't foresee anyone actually following through any characters to 60th level or even keeping up with the pace at which those full time wow nerds level... so I pretty much rather spend my time on my existing char Allodin the Palodin, and just take my bruisings. Plus, duelling is so much fun. I spend more time dueling now than leveling, and what's great about this game???? nothing is fast, not even duels. Rudy and I can duel for 20-40 minutes. I can literally see my lay on hands (a 60 min recharce) recharge. Also, the pheonix royal guards might recruit me. Apparently they go on crazy raids every friday, which will be fun. At heart, i will always be an actionteam guild member.
Eyrick - on car - Damn nice car... but the sticker price (doh! *stroke*)
