It rained so hard on my commute home that I had to empty my shoes over the sink.


A very hot shower and a bottle of Guinness later and I'm okay though.

There's a store near my work that sells the Special Export Guinness for 20c less than any other place I know of. It's awesome because that gives me an affordable (€1.35/33cl) stout of world class quality.

Flamethrowers are icing on the cake, especially when the flames spout from your forearm like some villain in a superhero movie.

Saving grace for the trooper though is the healer spec, since it's carrying the biggest gun in the game and all. That never ever ever ever happens in video games, so it's awesome just because of that.


Edit:

Also Pigtails, if you're thinking of coming back you'll probably want to either re-sub for a month or plan on spending a few bucks. They have some really annoying restrictions (2 crew skills, limited GTN auctions, no hide helm, no match armor colors, etc...) that you may want to pay a bit to get around. Many things you can unlock using credits (people buy the unlocks then sell them on the GTN), but your credits are capped at a fairly low level with preferred (350K) making it hard to purchase some of them.

You know, it makes me sad that they decided to make the ion cannon exclusive to the trooper. The ion cannon is so cool but I just could not get into the military focused story line of the trooper. I mean, it makes sense for that class to have a military story line, but I don't get why they couldn't have let BH's have a cannon. I suppose it's not very stealthy, but I don't think weapon choice should necessarily be limited based on lore or whatever. Comparing an ion cannon to dual pistols is just lame.

I think there's an option you can turn on so that it shows you what response gives you dark or light points. If it's not on by default that is. Choosing to go dark or light affects you later on down the road on what weapons and gear you can equip. So like, if you were a jedi or a sith, you can only equip a green saber if you have at least light level 1 and you can only equip a red one if you have a dark level 1. I only got up to level 38 or so, so that is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.

Well - I go away for 3 weeks to Germany & Poland and come back to 350 new posts!

Whoever mentioned 12:12 on the 12/12/12 - that was my 40th birthday! :)

Don't give aspirin to kids under 12 as there is a risk of reyes syndrome which can be fatal (rare and usually after a virus). Nurofen is as effective as aspirin and doesn't seem to cause reyes.

I still raid so there are a few of us still here :)

Speaking of snow - i'm a bit sick of it after 3 weeks of travel with only a couple of days scraping over zero degrees. Then I arrive back in Sydney last night at 10PM and it is still over 20 and tomorrow is supposed to be mid thirties!

Don't think I could ever go back to SWTOR. After leveling 15 or so toons in WoW and still enjoying the game, I couldn't face finishing my 3rd toon in SWTOR. The class quests are nicely done but having to repeat all the other one was killing me.

My wife and 16month old Harry are still in Europe for 3 more weeks so it is just me and the dog :) Almost didn't even get to say goodbye to them as at 2:30am (when my taxi was taking me to the station at 4:30am) my wife had to take Harry to hospital by taxi with Croup. Luckily we have had to deal with it once before so it wasn't too stressful. They give him an oral corticosteroid and it eases up quickly. They got back with 30 mins to spare so I got to say goodbye :) Now I have to work out how to set up Skype :)

Yay, old druids are getting old.



I wish they'd have more than 1 path through everything for each side. 2nd time through is still okay, choosing options you didn't the first time and all. After that, you can't hit the space bar fast enough.

Well, that was a fast way to make some money. Did the Winter Veil quest where you save Metzen the Reindeer, and the package I got from it contained an epic level 90 dagger which I sold for 15k gold. Now to avoid spending it all on stupid overpriced crap...

Also, I wanted to move my Warlock, but I'm not paying them €45 to move my data from one server to another. Those prices are hilarious.

Aeth, that is hilarious. Poor little guy! Miranda loves those feather toys. She goes nuts over them. When it comes to hunting irl though, she's great at catching stuff but she doesn't know what to do with them once she catches them.

Your not even a person yet.

That happens when you turn 30.

Haha you're old!


Also gratz and don't drink yourself into a coma whilst celebrating.

Aren't you just as old as Theo?

No.

He's 27, we had this discussion a month or two ago lol.

Happy birthday Theo, don't have too much fun!

First of my pregnant friends gave birth this morning! started having contractions at 10pm, went to the hospital at 2am once they were close enough together, and gave birth at around 5am. Lucky girl! So excited for her and her hubby!

Grats and keep going for a long, long time!

Reminds me of that episode of Californication where Hank ODs and the doctor guy tells him that there are no beautiful corpses. The first thing you lose control over when you die is all your autonomous functions, such as keeping fecal matter tucked away where it doesn't smell. Once the rot sets in and your organs begin to liquefy. you become a mess of seeping body fluids.

Good times.

Where's Kali when you need her? It's my uncle's birthday and I need to send him a text. He's German and my German sucks harder than the vacuum of space.

What Maz said. It was a big box (~70x70x50cm) and because of the rough treatment of international shipping all the corners were rounded out so I had next to no grip and it was too wide to carry on my shoulder and I couldn't get my arms around it much either.

I picked a career where the heaviest thing I'll have to lift is my lunch. I did that for a good reason (because it's fun but also because I @#%^ing hate lifting things)

I converted wrong. I blame lack of sufficient coffee to blood ratio. Yeah, that is painful then.

Couches are almost as bad as washing machines. I know when my dad won his current sofa (a call and win thing) the deliverymen basically dropped the couch next to the front door and they wanted to leave. Now, this is a Rolf Benz sofa which means that not only is it pretty, it's well built too which also means that it weighs a @#%^ing ton. It's also about 2.5 meters wide. And it had to go up some stairs, stairs with a corner in them and a low ceiling.

He ended up paying both of the deliverymen €50 or so to help him move it upstairs, it still took a good hour and he had some downright crippling muscle aches for a week.


Edit: Kitty is very happy with it, also quite intimidated as it's easily 4 times as large as his previous one.

I need to make enough money so I don't ever have to do that sh*t anymore. Although at least ordering online meant I didn't have to haul it from the store all the way home. That would've been an outright nightmare.

Also, my arms are going to hurt. Even with stretching and whatnot.

I have Guinness to soothe the pain. Also some bock beers.

So I blacked out last night and didn't know that my friend moved my car so I wouldn't get a ticket while I got a ride home with some other friends.

He didn't think to tell me (as I was apparently with him) today, so I got a ride back to where I had parked my car and proceeded to freak the @#%^ out.

Called my friend and probably intended to ask calmly, "hey, what happened to my car?" but it came out as, "WHAT THE @#%^ HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT?! ALSO, WHERE IS MY GODDAMN CAR?!"

He started laughing really hard and told me that he had moved it a block over.

He's very happy with it and he's been scratching everything enthusiastically, probably nice now that he can actually pul on it with all his might without pulling out pieces of rope.

Also, my shoulders, biceps and forearms hurt. Not fun.
