In which I open dollar store repack Magic boosters for fun and nothing remotely resembling profit. [26 Aug 2011|01:23am] [ mood | amused ] So the other day I learned that a lot of dollar stores have 10-card totally-not-official Magic boosters which are basically repacked singles and as such are basically guaranteed to have nothing worthwhile in them because all the good stuff got kept/sold. However, the other day I also found $3 in my new-to-me car (silver 2000 Hyundai Elantra wagon, for anyone wondering) on the way home from the dealer! Thus, I decided to blow $2.12 of it (ah, sales tax and me not carrying $0.18 in change to be able to get 3 with cash) to open purely for shits and giggles. And hey, hoping to amuse the internets as well. ( Horrible quality and I dunno why photos of the contents inside. With text and links so you can actually tell what they are. ) Overall it's entirely unimpressive and yet manages to be less amusing than I hoped because it's not hilariously atrocious either. Also the guy on Youtube I watched crack these things got some foreign printings at least. =< save slot

Twitter is, in fact, pretty amazing tonight. [21 Jan 2011|12:00am] [ mood | silly ] TheInfamousBob: @arashikurobara: "I'm going with TITS." @theinfamousbob: "I always go with TITS." ArashiKurobara: Team #NoveltyItems for life. RT @theinfamousbob: @arashikurobara: "I'm going with TITS." @theinfamousbob: "I always go with TITS." HereticSoul: @theinfamousbob I don't always go with TITS, but when I do, I use novelty items. HereticSoul: Team Novelty Items vs Team Body Massage: most ambiguously gay multiplayer match ever? HereticSoul: I blame my friends for all of the preceding. ArashiKurobara: @HereticSoul To be fair, IIRC only 1/4 of Team Novelty Items actually identifies as straight. :V ArashiKurobara: @HereticSoul Though another 1/4 was a conversation i was drunk for, so I may be misremembering. TheInfamousBob: @arashikurobara Ouch. :P HereticSoul: @arashikurobara Well, varying degrees for at least a few of us. ArashiKurobara: re: Team #NoveltyItems: "3/4 of us are bi, and the other 1/4 just makes jokes that are uncomfortably sexual." -- @HereticSoul TheInfamousBob: @arashikurobara @HereticSoul @LordHemlock TIME TO MAKE THE PIGGIES SQUEAL. *pulls out a bunch of electric drills* HereticSoul: @theinfamousbob Case and point. femmina: @arashikurobara @HereticSoul that's how a decent chunk of my friend relationships work out...I know lots of vaguely queer people HereticSoul: @femmina Thus the "1/2 of a gay" metric? HereticSoul: Twitter: because if the internet doesn't already make you uncomfortable, we can fix that. femmina: @HereticSoul yup. I count people in fractions of the gay LordHemlock: @theinfamousbob Why does this phrase frighten me in ways that I can't describe? TheInfamousBob: @LordHemlock Just shush. Be quiet and grab the mayonnaise. HereticSoul: @theinfamousbob @LordHemlock HERE COMES THE TRAIN, BABY femmina: @HereticSoul @theinfamousbob @LordHemlock oh dear save slot

"It's so easy." [14 Oct 2010|09:05pm] [ mood | hyper ] Encapsulates my week on more levels than it probably should. (Is also ridiculous, so there's that too.) Though there are also levels it could cover that are not the case, as well. (Team Novelty Items for life.) save slot #2

D&D character quiz [10 Sep 2010|07:00pm] It's old meme but fun every once in a while and it came up on IRC so *shrug*. I do usually come up CG for alignment though. I am a: Chaotic Neutral Elf Bard/Sorcerer (2nd/1st Level) ( Details ) Find out What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be? save slot

Here, have a meme from Facebook. [03 Sep 2010|03:51pm] [ mood | bored ] Because I actually kinda enjoy the music-y ones. The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you've heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends,including me, because I'm interested in seeing what albums my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note.) (Yeah, that part is not so much worky on LJ. Plus I didn't do it even on Facebook either.) The first... I'd say 3 are the most important for me I'd say, but no particular order after that. BT, Emotional Technology (If I had to narrow it all the way to just one, this would be it, no questions asked.) Billy Joel, Turnstiles Tori Amos, To Venus and Back Yuki Kajiura, Tsubasa Chronicle Original Soundtrack 1 Muse, The Resistance Sluts of Trust, We Are All Sluts of Trust No Doubt, Return of Saturn Michal, Sky With Stars Yousei Teikoku, Gothic Lolita Propaganda Akino, Chance to Shine (Hey look, there was an album that had all the vocal stuff from Aquarion in one place!) Kalafina, Seventh Heaven Barenaked Ladies, Stunt Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand t.A.T.u., Dangerous and Moving They Might Be Giants, Flood save slot

Memo feature is good. [18 Aug 2010|04:48am] Smarphone is good for writing down song lyrics I come up with when I should be trying to sleep. Better than paper and pen and lights turned on. save slot

Being an insomniac. [15 Jul 2010|06:28am] While I know setting thoughts to page, digital or otherwise, won't help me sleep, I feel the urge to express that if I believed in a devil, I'd sell him my soul in a heartbeat for either of two things: 1.) Any affection from a certain old friend, 2.) Any chance to see a certain even older enemy suffer. save slot

[10 Jul 2010|04:02am] [ mood | quixotic ] In a very odd mood more or less out of the blue. No particular reason. Somehow I'm even missing old enemies, never mind just old friends. It's quite odd. save slot

Borderlands LP potential builds [05 Apr 2010|06:32pm] Most of you probably don't even care about this, so, sorry for spammy I guess. But I wanted to get this stuff up and organized and linkable to my partners in cri- I mean, my fellow LPers for the Borderlands co-op Let's Play that's tentative for the summer. So yeah, no matter which class I end up playing I want to do something new and different with my build than what I've played before (... though Mordecai's turning out kind of same-y, my best bet for variety there may end up being where I start rather than what I take). Builds marked with * are unfinished, though since we're only LPing Playthrough 1 it really only makes a difference for the level 61 showoff vids we do afterwards. For all builds note that I strongly dislike limiting myself to a specific weapon type/element (though pistol-Mordecai's acceptable 'cause it's really two weapon types). Roland: *Turret-focused, secondary emphasis on raw damage Last few points: Fitness? Defense? Grit? (Bob suggests Supply Drop + 61/Moxxi in Cauterize) Class Mod: Support Gunner. Heavy Gunner good solo-bonus option. Maybe Tactician or Champion depending on last couple skills. Mordecai: *Gunslinger-focused Last few points: Hair Trigger? Ransack? Fast Hands? Swipe? (maybe Hair Trigger instead of Relentless... last 6 points still IDK in that case) Swap some stuff to be able to reach Trespass? It's wonderful, but nothing else in Sniper I want here... Class Mod: Survivor or Ranger. Sharpshooter GREAT solo-bonus option, other 2 loyalty mods not bad. Lilith: Controller/survival Yes Resilience sucks but STFU it fits the build well. Might get moved; which skill has these 5 points will determine best class mod choice (Resilience = Defender, Radiance = Tormentor, Intuition = Catalyst) Possible alternative: Phoenix instead of Dramatic Entrance (latter does not work with class mod pluses when maxed) Wait what the hell am I saying it's Diva that has mod stacking issues. But Diva is <3 (and needed maxed because I don't want Striking) Maybe max Blackout, spare (lv. 61/Moxxi) points in Dramatic Entrance? Done. At least for now. =P Class Mod: Defender. Mercenary or Specialist acceptable solo-bonus mods. Catalyst or Tormentor with skill shifts. Brick: IDK I guess he's tank-y. I just don't really want Blaster tree. Why am I even building this I'm not really interested in Brick and Hemlock's got a tentative claim on him anyway Bob suggests Juggernaut points moved to Bash Class Mod: Centurion or Warmonger. Maybe Skirmisher. Titan or Tank not a bad solo-bonus mod. save slot

Things what need done before Halloween Cleveland trip: [05 Oct 2009|02:24am] [ mood | kinda chilly ] Even though a lot of them are mostly just waiting. Await pieces of Halloween costume (vest, wings, wig). (Wrong item sent back today. Should get there Wednesday, couple days to process, so wings late next week?) Keep bugging Ian to download and watch Boondock Saints so he can decide if he wants to tag along for seeing the sequel. Get a hold of Steve so as to make sure that it'll be cool to have party Friday the 30th at Carriage House. 'Cause Plato is no longer go-to hub party host due to living far enough people actually would have to drive there. OK, Plato's it shall be anyway. Decide who the fuck's place I'm going to spend Saturday and Sunday nights at. My problem is a glut of options rather than a dearth, at least, which is probably good. Awesome. Have lowbeyonder's bed-couch to crash on. Decide if I want to go to RHPS or not. Though this may end up being spur-of-the-moment, lol. Figure out how I'm going to get to airport for return flight Monday the 2nd. Though if nothing else RTA will probably be an option. May also be tied in with who I stay with (i.e. perhaps a ride their schedule permitting), and will also probably be decided like the night before. Hrm. I probably didn't need a list. But whatever. I felt like it. save slot

[28 Sep 2009|01:49am] [ mood | hyper ] I was going to write a locked heavily filtered to no one who actually knows anyone but me entry about how crazy my last weekend's Saturday was but then I didn't get around to it for a week and then I started writing and decided I wasn't being coherent as to why the fuck I was bothering or with the entry writing itself but I have too much damn energy tonight so have an entry about me not writing an entry. At least now you know I'm not dead, LJ. save slot

D&D 4e potential characters [04 Jul 2009|01:18pm] So a clanmate is starting a D&D 4e game soon and I felt like pinging potential builds (well... practically more like build stubs, especially since I've only built to our starting level of 1) off of my usual and not-so-usual suspects first. ( Nerdiness under the cut ) save slot #6

Let's Play is go! [19 May 2009|12:23pm] First entry is up at http://ping.fm/Z7Bum save slot

Let's Play! [17 May 2009|02:01am] So, lately I've really gotten into reading/watching Let's Plays, and I think I kind of want to try my hand at some of my own. Most of the forums that are dedicated to those though require bullshit like signing up for a game and waiting your turn and blah blah blah - Something Awful's is the only one that's really a free-for-all, and let's face it, even if I wanted to be a goon, I am not about to pay money just to join a fucking forum - so I'm going to do it on LJ. Plus, I think I'd prefer the blog-style format for user participation, since it means you don't have to scroll past things like 50 posts of "name the main character 'pants'!" just to get on with the show. =P So as not to spam any of you guys who might not want to read it, I've created a separate LJ for it over at blackrose_lp. (Besides, even if I don't actually end up following through, I don't see any obvious reason anyone else would want that username anyway, so at least I shouldn't be squatting on it.) It's empty at the moment, but expect something before too long - even though it's stupid-easy I've got a horrendously silly urge to do Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon: Another Story (this one would be in screenshot format, obviously), and I've got the translation-patched ROM for it and a copy of ZSNES just kicking around anyway. It'll be a good warm-up at least? save slot #2

Yay, D&Ding again soon! [28 Nov 2008|02:20am] So, I'm gonna be playing D&D online with some of my TF2 clanmates soon. It should be great fun! I've missed gaming. A lot. This is largely going to end up being a nerdy braindump post, so that's your warning to turn back now if D&D isn't so much your thing. So, we've got a party of four so far (counting me), though we've only decided a couple days ago we were going to play and so we're waiting to hear from more people first on interest. I'm pretty much going to fulfill whatever role(s) are left over. Party so far: Human Ranger (likely mounted archer - he saw camel on the animal companions list and really liked the thought) Human Monk (wants to tank, my inner min/maxer is really skeptical of this choice, but eh. The DM is the one who suggested Monk to him for that role, so i'm guessing our encounters aren't going to be too horrible. =P) Elf Cleric (was going to multiclass Wizard, until I talked with him a bit and learned he mostly just wanted to be blast-y and heal-y and I told him that Clerics get some decent blasting too, inasmuch as blast-y is decent at all) So, it looks like it's shaping up for me to be the trapmonkey, the arcane caster, or both. FWIW, the starting level's not known exactly yet, but will probably be somewhere around 3-5. My possible thoughts, depending on what role(s) I need to fill (I'm gonna include race/PrC thoughts where I have any yet - dunno if we'll get far enough for PrCs but having one as a goal will help shape the build a little anyway, so it's not a bad idea): ( Build Possibilities ) Any thoughts? (Stats will likely be rolled, ah well, but I actually got a pretty decent array just messing around with the dice roller when we were playing with the software we'll be using: 17, 16, 14, 14, 11, 7. I may just ask to keep that depending on what I go with. For what it's worth, it's 4d6 drop lowest, roll 7 times and drop lowest of those.) save slot #1
