Busy weekend behind me

I actually got quite a few of the things done I talked about last Friday over the weekend.  I was able to goof around a bit in City of Heroes, I made a new character based on Dr. Strange (real original, eh?).  I also got a couple of levels on my robotics Minion Master villain. I wish they would offer a whole double XP week instead of just a weekend 😛 I also got some work on my game design document.  Really it’s a separate document writing up information through the “Lenses” … Continue reading

Weekend Plans

I’ve got so many plans this weekend, I should probably take next week off!  hehe.  I’m going to try and take advantage of CoX’s double-XP weekend and  at least get a couple of levels there.  Although my buddy there has started yet another ‘toon, so maybe we’ll just be levelling up newbs.  I’d also like to get some serious updates to my game design document started with an eye towards answering the questions posed by the various Art of Game Design “Lenses.”  With that in mind, I’m hoping to at … Continue reading

What we need is change!

Well, ok I’m not really changing things too much, but I did renew my subscription to City of Heroes/Villains, at the invite from a friend who is still in the game. We’ll see how long that lasts.

CoX isn’t terribly solo-friendly, so I usually only stay subscribed for a month or two before I exit in frustration… And therefore I don’t … Continue reading

Lazy Weekend

At least it seemed lazy to me, even though it also seemed like I was always trying to get something done yet nothing really got accomplished.  It was fun at the time, but as the long weekend winds down I’m kinda miffed at myself for being so scatter brained all weekend.  The worst thing was that I couldn’t find my key-codes for Sony Studio 8, which I wanted to re-install on my system to make some more YouTube videos.  When I tried to start the program it said it was … Continue reading

Mid-Winter, No Heat. ARGH!

So, I live in an apartment and you’d think that living in an apt. you don’t have to deal with maintenance issues. I was having some problems with my water heater and so they came out to work on it today.  While doing that they had to call the gas company to get the gas turned off while they were working.  So, no biggie.  They get all done and the gas guys come in to re-light the pilot lights and they’re like, “Dude, this furnace isn’t up to code.  We’re … Continue reading
