A Wandering WeyrCat...

SQUEEEE! A girl and her moa. Guild Wars 2 was released last Tuesday (Aug25) and I'd been doing my best not to stalk it. I loved Guild Wars, have all but the Norn expansion (yay college) and a variety of stuff I probably shouldn't have spent money on but can't really bring myself to regret it (yay gamer magazine vanity pets)! It's gorgeous, even with my graphics turned as low as they go (seen above). They took out the instancing , which I'm kind of upset about. It seems to mean that there WILL be competition for quest mobs... except.. if you walk up on someone killing your mob, you automatically join in the "event" and get a participation rating (that I think probably alters your xp, but I'm unsure). You can participate in the event as many times as it happens, but I'm unsure about repeat xp. I really like it so far. I miss certain things from GW, but I'm honestly still in the starting zone where they teach you how to do things. ...

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

20120812 What I learned in Week 1 of the NerdFitness 6 Week Challenge: It's so easy to go down the warp tube and just skip all the swimming levels... -I comp'd myself the hour of study on the 6th because I took my final that day. It was a decision I made a week before the challenge started, and I even ended up making up for it the next day (studied twice the minimum amount). I also said I would allow myself to go over 1500 (to binge, essentially) on Date Night as long as I made up for it via PT. I didn't do it. But I found myself wanting, nay, actually altering my log to "even out" days when I'd binged on one day but had a good deficit the next. I was filling in potholes. I was cheating! Maybe in another challenge it'll be "have a negative overall calorie intake for the challenge" but that's NOT this challenge! My challenge here is to stop BINGING. -I also found myself "filling in potholes" for my study time, and for these c...

(Cross posted from the NerdFitness archives for posterity) 6 Week Challenge - August 6 - September 17Rangers Every story has a beginning. It winds along through trials and triumphs, like a living, breathing, thing. Accomplishments beat the cadence of a heartbeat, and failures paint the tracks of its tears. The difference between life and a story, isn't as great as you think. You may not be able to rewrite your beginning, but you can always write a new chapter. The past does not concern us, only the future. Chapter 2, Reboot. WeyrCat, half-elven child of man. Curious from a young age she settled on no craft and no skill, content to learn a little of everything but mastering none. For this she was given the forest-name Preabadh Fhiaigh, Bouncing Raven. Now in her adulthood she finds herself in the middle... an injury barely healed and recovery still ahead of her. The strength she had has waned, and she feels so behind in everything that she tries to gather her old hobbies an...

Found a neat beer-site that let's you order beer-label's with your name on them.. Hmmm.. "Captain Katryn's Port o'No Return!" However, still can't find anyone to ship me a 6-pack of Summer Weiss for under $30. Boooo Lawl! Someone took the INC Gnome Invasion idea (Draenor, 2007?) and used their powers for EEEE.. erm, GOOD! Bajillion Gnomes for Breast Cancer awareness :) I wonder what I did with all the Inc Gnome Invasin pix. That's the kinda stuff I keep, so I'm sure I have em. OH.. Good Job AVAST for thinking WoW was a virus! Had me running my PC through a Gauntlet trying to find this MalWare. Thank goodness someone broached the subject on the tech forums, and that I happened to see them, before I went to uninstalling anything O_O. No... I didn't run today. I did.. eat like a pig, and sleep in. *Raspberry*. OH! Found a site that shows a bunch of neat stuff going on in West Palm Beach ! HUSBAND. I FOUND.. OKTOBERFEST. He's goin...

Primal for PS2 - Weyrcat.com Circa 2003 WARNING: SPOILERS AND CHEATS AHEAD!! (Links and Walkthrough at bottom.) Quick Rant: European VS American releases. The PAL release, or European is different, in strange ways. Besides the cheat codes being different all the screenshots I encountered while looking for nice images for this site seem to point to the fact that the PAL version of Jen has a different head. It's much more round and pouty and far to Lara Croft looking. Whether that sells more in the UK than her regular head is not my area of expertise, but I find it irritating. It also seems that in her Ferai form the weapons dont glow, they still have the claws, but her body hadn't changed and she wasn't glowing. I don't know if that's the case, but that's what the screenshot showed. I read a review asking if Primal's Jen could be the next Lara Croft. NAY I SAY! How horrid to compare Jen to this Lara Croft. There is an awesome scene when Jen gets her ...
