Looking over some YouTube videos various people have made for Tribes Ascend and I came across the user ‘uuiz’. I don’t know who Hi-Rez has making their teaser and intro video’s but these guys would make me want to play more than the ‘official’ ones.
Check’em out:
Also I thought this one was pretty funny though it’s from a different guy:
PS: For those not familiar with the term a ‘llama grab’ is someone grabbing the flag going slow preventing an actual good (and fast) capper from getting the flag. Llama grabs usually end like the above.
Below is a link to a TED talk that TED decided NOT to show. After watching it, I’m not really sure what the problem is. I’ve seen less interesting, presentations from TED. I’ve seen less sourced presentations from TED. By deciding NOT to show it TED has effectively made this MORE interesting and more likely to be watched by a bigger audience than if they had just posted it up like their normal presentations.
Had a cavity filled this morning. Left lower face and jaw were numbed for the procedure. The numbness is starting to fad and my face itches. IT ITCHES BUT I CANNOT FEEL IT WHEN I SCRATCH SO IT CONTINUES TO ITCH! I have a ‘itch I can’t scratch’ situation here folks and its driving me nutz! ARRGH!
Had a lot of fun playing SWTOR but, I haven’t felt the desire to play since I got back from vacation last month. I’m spending most of my time in Tribes Ascend right now, and I just am not playing anything else. My highest level SWTOR character was a 48 Trooper, and if not for Tribes I’d push him to 50 and THEN stop, but I just don’t have the desire to put the week or two worth of ‘work’ into it to reach the level cap. Also, when I ended my subscription I somehow have 40 days of play time left on my subscription. If the subscription was monthly how the hell did I end up with 40 days left? It is a mystery.
I have so many good games right now on my PC that I can play ‘for free’ that I think I’ll try to avoid the subscription plan games for a bit. I’m really surprised by how much I missed FPS games. I thought I’d out grown the genre (it really is a young mans game) but I can still be competitive in most matches and I think I’ll scratch that itch for awhile.
I’m still planning on avoiding Diablo III if I can, but I may pick up Guild Wars 2 when it comes out. I have friends that are interested in ‘The Secret World’ so I may end up back in a subscription game but for now I’m subscription free.
So I went to the Penny-Arcade eXchange in Boston this year. I must say I had a great time. If you like to game, I highly suggest you go to one if you can. And I mean ANY kind of gamer, video games, board games, card games you have something going on here to enjoy.
Anyway, this post is about pictures. I didn’t take too many because that’s just the kind of guy I am. I’d rather experience the moment, than try and ‘preserve’ it in photos, but I did take some. Of those I took, only these are worth posting. Most of the rest are a bit blurry. I can’t seem to get the iPhone to focus correctly half the time.
If you really wanna see the rest come visit me at home. I’ve saved them all on the computer.
Sorry it took so long to post these (A WHOLE MONTH?!!?). Between not being ABLE to upload the pictures and then forgetting about it, I took too long. Apologies. ENJOY!
Had this sent to me by a Ron Paul supporter. Apparently, they are very heavily engaged in educating their fellow travelers about the delegate process in the various states, so that they can take maximum advantage for their chosen candidate. I’m not a registered anything, but I find the whole thing interesting, because I had no idea how it worked before this election cycle.
Note: I personally am not a Ron Paul supporter, but I also don’t think who you support matters with regard to this video. It’s just some good info for Mississippians to know.
Did I mention this is a damn fun game? It’s free to play but (of course) you can toss some cash their way to speed things up a bit. The way it works is, you start with 3 classes. A light, a medium and a heavy. Each has a full set of gear. You earn XP with every game you play and you can spend that XP on new weapons, gear and perks. You can buy ‘Tribes Gold’ and spend THAT instead of XP as a way to speed up the process. I’ve enjoyed the game enough I threw them $30, which I think was money well spent. I got a good chunk of Tribes Gold which I spent upgrading the hell out of the Technician class I enjoy so much, plus a couple of perks. Because I spent some cash with the game I’m now a ‘VIP’ member. VIPs get XP at roughly 50% faster than normal. The $30 purchase also got me a 30 day ‘Booster’, so I’m actually getting XP at around triple the usual rate for the next month. I enjoy that boost too, LOTS of stuff I intend to get the old fashioned way. Killing foos!
Also: Stay away from my generator! It’s mine and I like it shiny!
