The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a few white fluffy clouds in the sky. I am closing the curtains and going back to bed.

Bio

I live somewhere in the wilds of East London with a couple of friends, a pet rat and a collection of RPG books that is slowly consuming our house. I've suggested possibly getting rid of some of them, but it's pretty much got to the point where the books are the only thing keeping the building upright and if I move any of them the whole thing could come crashing down.

In terms of games - well, I'll consider anything, except that. As can probably be gathered from my posts, I find myself generally playing characters that let me bit a little bit light-hearted. I am reasonably certain that I can play serious characters, but I know that getting to post things which makes me chuckle as I write them keeps me far more engaged.

At the moment, I am currently running a game called Interplanetary Space Friends. It's a game about friends, in space, travelling between planets. It is not exactly a very serious game, and while I've scared off some of my players, I have a dedicated handful left who have stuck with the game. These folks are awesome, and if anyone says anything mean about them, I will defend their honour with a strongly worded message.

Side note I'm very curious to find out how everyone else interacts with Valk. This will be very interesting.


This had me thinking about how long people had been on the Nova Dawn and the like; has everyone been on board for a while and generally knows about each other fairly well, is it a mix of brand new crew and old hands on a per-character basis, or is (and this would probably be kind of worrying) everyone basically new to the ship?

There's obvious drawbacks and benefits to whichever option @Dead Cruiser goes for, and it goes without saying that I'm a-okay with any of them, or some other way that I hadn't considered, but it'd be nice to know. I wouldn't want to assume one way and have it be the other ("Why are you acting like this is the first time you've seen a three foot tall fuzzy killing machine?") and throw people off their groove.

I probably should've asked this when we were at the "so, any questions?" phase of the Interest Check. Whoops.
And you know what else? Apparently that really nice Nigerian prince guy who offered me a portion of his wealth in exchange for temporary use of my bank account was a scam. I didn't know people lied on the Internet. I was shocked to say the least.


There's a reason why the map in Crusader Kings 2 doesn't go as far south into Africa as Nigeria, and that's because (judging from the emails I've received over the years), there are so many Nigerian Princes that the game simply wouldn't be able to handle it.

Also, sorry about the delay folks, I've been using my tablet to check the site this week (my battered old Asus thing that takes ten minutes to successfully load up a page with Chrome), which doesn't make writing and editing big posts particularly easy. I should have time on Thursday and Friday this week to actually sit down at my desk and get to writing.
Everyone is taking about pilots and popcorn and im just sitting here making a carnivorous little bat dog that has sharing problems.


Would you describe the bat dog as hot? Inquiring minds need to know.
Ain't no better tasting popcorn than stolen popcorn.


"Stolen Popcorn" will be on the dessert menu now.

You may have questions, such as "stolen from where?", "what's in this buttery sauce?" and "why does my pancreas ache after eating these?". Fortunately, these questions and most others can be handled with one simple answer - you really don't want to know.
Not even doing any kitchen related activities, just jumping!


Hold on a second.

Are you meaning to tell me that jumping around in the kitchen isn't a kitchen related activity?
Another really good game for kick ass music. (even if the game has gone a LITTLE downhill...)


I still live in hope of Quaggans being made a playable race. Anyway! Music! Right. I like it. It's got a nice sort of build up of tension to it, with those little drum rolls coming in half way through, and it's dramatic without being too over the top. It kind of makes me wonder how much consideration is given to the fact that people are likely going to be shouting at one another communicating effectively during raid bosses when it comes to composing music for MMOs. It must be a bit odd, composing music that you know is going to have people talking over it. Anyway, I'd rate that as an 8 / 10, it does what it does well, and I'll wear my Quaggan hat rather than my bear hat today for good measure.


Have something relentlessly cheerful and upbeat to scare away the Monday blues.
Good morning folks, I hope everyone has survived their weekend adventures!

Post should be done by this afternoon, I'm trying to tidy up a kitchen and bake in at the same time this morning.

Edit: Might be a little later at this rate, somehow I have managed to foul up choux pastry. The moral of this story is "if you try and do two things at once, it's probably a bad idea and you shouldn't do it, you twerp".

It's a sad sort of baking day.
ok, back from my con so I'll get a post up later when I settle down.


Hope it went well!

I'll get a post up tomorrow.

Also, just a heads up, but my busy days this week are likely to be Tuesday (going to be sewing like a champion all day) and Wednesday (sewing and picking up new glasses!).
