Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Anybody want to try Wildstar for a week?

I'm not sure Wildstar is big enough to have servers yet. I'll try logging in tomorrow afternoon and let you know if I have to choose one. Email incoming.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I'm playing the Dragon Age: Origins DLC "Witch Hunt" and just recruited a mage who has a staff named "Vera".

I found a better staff, but I can't bring myself to equip it on him.

Kalshane, that's a hoot.

Laga, I'm having a heck of a time downloading the client. Either their server is really flaky, or AT&T really doesn't like them. I'm having to do it in small chunks; I'll let you know when I'm ready.

Downloading the update now...

I'm off tomorrow and and stopped to get a box of wine on my way home from work. Something about day drinking makes me want to play MMOs... but I logged in to my old toon on DDO's Cannith server to find three months inactivity has gotten me booted from my old guild. FFXIV still hasn't added rogue/ninja to the available builds. So I'm back to Wildstar. Looks like it's running....

...and I'm in! All my old toons are gone so I'm making a new one.

... I'm Laga Ratica, an Exile, Mordesh, Medic-Settler. It never asked me to choose a server. Currently doing the entry-quest thinigies where you help find Deadeye's wife.

... wow this place is deserted. No wonder they're giving out free passes. I mean yeah, it's 2:30 Monday afternoon but still. I seem to be alone in here.

...man I dunno. I was rabid for this game while it was still in development. I played as much as I could every time I won a beta key. Now I'm just meh. I got to the planet and my first assignment was to kill Mordesh. I'M MORDESH! I thought we were trying to find a cure! Probably reading too much into it but feh.

I'm going to try creating a Dominion character as see if I can groove on it a little more. I wanted a tail but the exiles with tails can't be medics... sigh... it's just not happening for me.

Laga I finally got in. I made a Exile Warrior on Entity Realm, I finished the starting area and I'm in Algoroc now. How are you coming?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Trial balloon. I've had a particularly demanding unit at uni this semester. (It's been a lot of fun, half the assessment was built on playing an online business simulation game against five other teams of students. But lots of work.) Lectures finished this week. Sooo... Who might be interested in another game of BSG starting in the next week or so?

Thrive to spite them

It's about to get really busy at work and with extended hours so I'll sit this one out.
