There’s Nothing Wrong with That

I’m just going to be upfront about this. I’m using aqua. At first I called it greenish blue, but then the more stylish humans in my life pointed out that this color was called “soft aqua” and while aqua was by no means “edgy”, it certainly was better than Microsoft Blue. So I said, ok.

For crissakes, I have an alt that’s languishing in some inn, I can’t spend all weekend hoping to find a hex number that’s edgy.

I’m mostly testing link colors and posting with the new WordPress upgrade, but in case you’re thirsting for some REAL gaming news, go check the better blogs on the right; frankly, it’s same old, same old in Warcraft.

After I beat this new system into submission, I’ll update the links as I recently discovered some good sites that I added to my feedreader … doesn’t do you much good on my feedreader tho, does it? Click around, you’ll find plenty of good ones that aren’t whores or Poindexters that love and hate the medium as much as you or me.

And now, since my guild is IM’ing me with “leave that fucking blog alone and get in here”, there’s a handful of elite beasts that need a beatdown.

P.S. If you’re using Internet Exploder, I want to hurt you. Don’t let it come to that.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

In the old days, we had to walk to the pizza joint uphill both ways because we didn’t have money for the bus and our beater was unresponsive (yet again) and we had to pay for the pizza with change because that’s all our on-campus jobs paid. Loose change.

And no way could we use the monthly allowance from our parents for pizza because that was already spent on the EQ subscription and other stuff that we bought just for show like books and essentials like weed, which, in hindsight, was probably just oregano because it didn’t really do anything when we toked, although my breath was surprisingly fresh.

And fergitabout delivery because that was for rich people, like the grad assistants, and the delivery dude would just briefcase it anyhow and the only thing worse than a briefcase job was some noob guild asshat that would aggro the portal area and bring that shit to the wall when we’re trying to do the naked CR from the first two breakin attempts.

Then we had to run back from the pizza joint because we told the guild “afk fas” which indicates that it won’t be a 30-minute afk and maybe our final piece of Planar armor would drop and that would suck hardc0re if we weren’t there to /random for that shit, and for sure! our pretend online GFs and/or BFs (not that there’s anything wrong with that) would leave us for a fully-planar dude that was starting his own Planes-capable guild. Asshole.

And we liked it!

The apocalypse has arrived.
