Come on now, that's not even possible. I'm pretty pleased with getting to level 27 in 17 days.

i agree, i think thats not possible. i think the gameplay totals are somewhere in the 200 hours range.

27 huh? you are doing well young padawan.

5 days later, and I'm still 27. I have hardly played at all since getting back from the holidays, I will retire soon.

Friday night im trying to get something together. Id like to meet some folks for a drink, ive talked to ron, kolpak, jaymills, and bergan. Barone you never called me back you unemployed bastard. stop playing world of warcraft or you'll end up like cartman.

anyways, if any of you have a good place that is close to everyone i am all ears. If not id just assume meet somewhere in middletown. Maybe we can all go up to hartford, and get a couple of hotel rooms and wander the streets from bar to bar. Im up for anything and open to suggestions.

Its good to be home.

As of today I'm an unemployed bum too! So let's see what this WoW is all about! Anyway, I won't be around. Have fun.

By  Damon, at Wednesday, December 06, 2006 5:43:00 PM  

if you are actually going ot play wow i want a call, i'll hook you up

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Wednesday, December 06, 2006 7:25:00 PM  

I thought I felt the ground shaking. Murph, welcome back!

By  NoBrainRequired, at Wednesday, December 06, 2006 7:56:00 PM  

I was joking when I wrote that, but then I thought, actually why not? I have nothing lined up to do, so why not do something that takes up all of people's time. Then when I checked out the site, I saw about recruiting people and sides of the alliance, so I do want to talk to you before getting into it. The fee seems pretty steep though. In 10 days at the end of the trial I bet my new addiction will make the fee seem like nothing. Calling now.

My level 10 serpentine elvin prince will kick the shit out of your level 10 andromous delivian sorcerer! Nerds!!

Ha ha, i kid i kid. I keep myself away from that stuff on purpose. I know i would be sucked in. I avoid the temptation all together.

revenge of the nerds

By  murphy, at Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:54:00 AM  

i don't deny it. i'm a fucking dork. i spend at least a few hours every day playing a videogame. plus i read comics. and i'm an engineer. i loose before i even start.

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Thursday, December 07, 2006 2:14:00 PM  

Nor do I deny it, I had a couple hours of fun with the watt meter my roommate had brought home saying it was something only an energy dork could love. I'm not a video game regular, but can get pulled in few weeks at a time. Add in the engineering and my total lack of social skills and I too am a dork. I don't really relate to nerd, but dork all the way. Oh yeah, and I don't really drink and try to get to sleep at 10, if you want to talk about lame.

By  Damon, at Thursday, December 07, 2006 2:32:00 PM  

I may have you all beat hands down. I am, after all, a level 29 dungeon master. But seriously, my prized possesions include First Edition Dungeon and Dragons manuals from 1975 and 27mm minitures and corresponding terrain for the following games: Warhammer, Warhammer Fantasy, Necromunda, and Mordheim. I have rpg booklets for the following games; Teenage Ninja Turtles and Other Strangenesses, Hero's Unlimited, Rifts, Battlelords of the 23rd Century (thanks Damon!) Full Thrust (not a porno surprisingly), Mage: the Ascension, Werewolf: the Apocolypse, Vampire: the Masquerade and Fading Suns. I also contribute on a regular basis to a variety of modding forums across several titles and genres. I have a train set that expands regualarly. My living room features two TV's with a variety of gaming systems and 2 PCs networked for multiplayer Duke Nukem 3d. I reread "Lord of the Rings" trilogy once a year. I also watch StarTrek when Mo's not home. And finally the piece de resistance: I bought my wife Magic: the Gathering cards for Christmas (yeah, her nerdiness is coming along nicely, she's hooked on tabletop games.)


May the Dorkside be with you!

P.S. Kirk could kick Picard's ass. End of story.

You've all got it wrong. My balls are the biggest.

By  ron, at Thursday, December 07, 2006 10:32:00 PM  

When I played Final Fantasy online I would get harrassed like:
"Pick a fight with that guy!"
"No, I can't. Just with monsters."
"There's a monster - get it!"
"No, I can't. The monster belongs to that guy over there."
"So what are you doing right now?"
"Waiting for the airship. It'll be here in 15 minutes."
"Yeah have fun with that, faggot."

Some folks would be superstitious on teaming up with me because my guy's name was Funeral. It led to many bad jokes between myself, a chick from Texas, and a guy at a U.S. army base in Japan. The army guy actually had the most free time, which is surprising - I thought the military would be on its toes to fight things like Hello Kitty and elderly age demographics.

Anyways, my balls are the biggest because I enjoy videogame music to the point where I try to remix it myself and expect people to say "cool!". In reality the best I should hope for is "tepid"
Actually that reminds me of the Irreversible Spinal Damage era - we covered the Double Dragon song at the Higganum gazebo.

ill admit it, id played dungeons and dragons too, but i think no brain is literally the king of all dorks. hail to thee!

By  murphy, at Monday, December 11, 2006 9:33:00 AM  

i remember when Matt played Diablo online. The best was when he flamewalled this dude walking into a dungeon for no reason other than to be a dick. Ah that was great. The guy walked into walls of fire and there was nothing he could do about it! I think he wrote something like, "You better watch out for my level 12 mage!". Sore loser.

By  Brancibeer, at Monday, December 11, 2006 11:54:00 AM  

While I concede No Brain is the real king, he must be away from his lands while I am temporarily in control - having played WoW for honestly about 25 hours in the past three days.

Mario and Luigi accidentally drive into the world of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It's a funny Robot Chicken sketch.

Ouch! My car. And ron... 

# posted by Brancibeer @ 12/02/2006 09:33:00 PM

Due to the unfortunete news of my car I decided to give Ron a call this morning to see if he could offer any advice. Saving the details, I've recently discovered that my car needs anywhere from $700- 1500 of work. Running the figures in my head has determined it would be wisest not to repair, trade in before it get worse and get something else. Naturally i wanted the K-car- king to weigh in on the issue.

11am on Sat morning. Ring Ring ring.

Ron: (giggling) "He...hell...hello?"
Me: "Hey...whats going on?"
Ron: (giggling again, this time with more background noise, sounding confused and disheveled) "Uhh...you know...(giggling more)"
Me: (knowing my good friend well) "Jesus christ.... are you..... are you... drunk?! Its 11am man!"
Ron: (still giggling and someone yelling in the background) "Uh..what did you say?"
Me: "Are you fucking drunk?! What the hell is going on? Oh, are you tailgating?"
Ron: (not answering my question) "I'm in vegas man, i just woke up"

Ah yes, i forgot ron was going to vegas.

Me: "Oh, well that explains things. Well, your probably useless to me in your current state"
Ron: (still background noise) "Um, well what you got?"

I explained the car question in as little words as possible.

Ron: "What?"
Me: (Sigh and explain again)

To give him credit, i did get his opinion on the matter. Probably would have been better and more quality if he wasnt drunk (?) and distracted. We conversed about gambling and strip clubs for the remainer of the call.

Vegas baby. RPL must report upon return.

Technical Question 

# posted by DJ Booze Piñata @ 12/01/2006 06:25:00 PM

Sorry to bump Murphy's announcement for a tech discussion, but:
Does anyone have stop error problems with their computers when playing games? Mine just freezes up sometimes and I'll need to do a cold reboot. After the campaign I bought that new game F.E.A.R. and it doesn't even get past the first load screen. I got Rise of Legends and it gives me a damn freeze for every board I play. Could it be RAM? I put in the latest drivers for my Audigy Soundblaster and Radeon cards. I do frequent virus/adware checks and got a registry cleaner too. Now things are running slightly faster but I'm still locking up. Matt - I'm almost willing to trade you F.E.A.R. for one of your busted PDAs. Call of Duty ran almost flawlessly (locked up once or twice) but then again, that was from 2003 not 2006. Yes, I'm a gamer, and so is Matt (and our girlfriends love us for it) which is pretty much why that whole "revamp the workermonkey" idea never got off the ground yet. YET. Watch out 2009!!

That reminds me - I never posted much at all about the fact I ran a political campaign, which might make for some very interesting reading. Err......consider it pending.
