Mmmm Turkey

It's been awhile since I made a post about life in general, so I'm not sure where to start. I guess I'll just talk about this weekend so far since a lot has happened and nothing interesting happens during the school week. Oh, besides me winning HoH in Guild Wars again and this time opening the chest before the time expired. Ok so Wednesday after school.. I think that was the day I was going to take the bus so I wouldn't have to go to Top Foods but I missed the bus so I went and walked around Tops for 30 minutes or so. Got to get in on the future new product at the student store. By the way David, I was right you don't have to be in DECA to be in marketing, it's just an option. When I got home Zack told me about how Eastern has extremely sweet computers with very large monitors set up JUST for gaming. They have tons of games pre-installed and since it's a college the internet is like... lag-less. He then talked about how he started playing Starcraft and wanted me to play again, so I looked into getting that fixed. Also Wednesday I downloaded some new music.

Thursday was Turkey Day, and yes, I ate too much turkey and other traditional thanksgiving foods. After dinner I didn't even feel up to shoving down some pie into my already overflowing stomach, but I managed to find space =P. Started playing Starcraft again, and met up with Peter, Ben, Albert, Oliver, and most importantly Keir on Bnet. I could barely control my excitement to be back on the battle field, but I managed to control my childish joy in order to keep good composure in the Skype conference. Even though I think I went 1-2, with the only win being Keir and I vs. Ben, it was still a lot of fun.

Friday I woke up and immediately went from breakfast to Starcraft. David was playing Mass Effect, but since he is a good friend, he played some Starcraft with me, and the others that got on later. We played some ums maps and I got a few of the good ums maps we used to play from David through Skype file sharing. While on Bnet, Peter said he might be able to come up North to Shoreline for a day or two, so we started planning a frisbee game.. that never ended up happening. David came over around... 4:30 or some time around there because once again he is a great guy, and Orion wouldn't answer his phone so we could plan the paper route. By 5:00pm it was already really dark so David and I rushed to get the paper route done before Peter would hopefully arrive. It was really cold but I think we may have made a new record for paper route delivery time. After the route David and I pwned up some GCN and waited for people to arrive. Eventually Orion and Alex got here with still no sign of Peter. I was told at this point that we would have a good amount of people for a frisbee game, but I will talk about my annoyance with this later.

We gamed on the Cube/PC until a little before 9, then we headed over to Shoreline A/B fields in hopes of having a game of ultimate started soon. When we got there one of Zack's friends pulled up at the same time, and we threw a couple discs around for a few minutes until everyone else showed up. When everyone else got there, they decided, (or more Gerard decided), that they were going to play football instead. I really don't like playing football because it seems so skill-less and non-strategic when they play it. Alex, Orion, David, Chris and I continued to throw the discs around for awhile. That got old after awhile and we decided we should go make sheer pwnage. At this point it was 10:15 and we didn't have a video camera on hand. We drove to David's in hopes that his sister had the video camera at home, but she had lent it to a project partner for some reason.

We sat at David's house listening to Alex play acoustic, before realizing we were cold and some of us were hungry. On the way to my house to pick up Alex's wallet and keys, Orion tried to predict the change of the red light, but instead ended up looking stupid sitting halfway into the intersection with a red light. Right as he had crossed almost completely passed the cross-walk and he and I were laughing with random "shits" in there, a cop took a left turn coming from the opposite side in front of us. At this point the "shits" and laughs increased, and we saw him slow down as he decided whether or not to turn around, luckily for us he was feeling generous and kept going. We kept going down 185th towards Aurora, seeing another cop car on the way. Good times, too bad we didn't have the camera.

Sat at Denny's for awhile, probably made the "clumsy" waitress think we were all high and had the munchies. Orion's car had died when we got there and he couldn't start it, but luckily after we were done, it had enough juice to start. Afterwards we drove back to my house, but unfortunately the downstairs was taken by my mom and sister who were watching..ugh..Hairspray... We decided to go our separate ways, but Orion's car wouldn't start again. We sat in the basement for around 20 minutes on the computer, hoping his car would start given a break. No such luck. He left it here and jogged home deciding he would come back with his dad tomorrow (Saturday) and pick it up then.

So far not much has happened today. We (meaning I) put up Christmas lights on the house, and Orion picked up his car. No one was on aim/msn so I decided to make this blog post and hopefully by the time I was done people would be on and ready to play Starcraft. None of the Clan is on right now, but I'm not on Skype so I'll try that now. Sorry this post was so long, but you're the one who was willing to read it all. And besides, this isn't so much to inform others of what happens, but to have a record of things we did so that, with my poor memory, I can look back and remember all the good times we had. Ok time to go get my micro back. -pronoob5 is back!

Household Hackers

So I was surfing youtube like I do every weekend I am at my dads, when I came across some really cool experiment type videos I thought would be interesting to try. I think I have all the materials, except maybe an extra mini jack audio cable and a RCA cable, but someone might have extra they are willing to spare, or I could just go buy one of each since neither would be very expensive. Next weekend for sure I'm going to try some of these out, so if you're interested leave a comment and we will set a time that is good for everyone who wants to check it out. The good thing about this plan is, even if no one responds, I can still do these on my own and film them or something.. except for my lack of a video camera..

I plan on trying all three and none of them should take long so there will also be time for gaming/poker/ultimate/whatever.
Also since the poll is doing well I think I'll extend it to see if any more votes come in.

The Legend of Pi

For those of you who are not interested in Guild Wars, I would stop reading now.
Yeah so I'm pretty sure Pi is one of the best guilds out there.. other than the fact that we are not quite on the guild ladder atm. All of the officers/members are friendly and willing to help, and the leader of Pi is an all around great guy. I met up with him before I was actually in the guild, and he was gracious enough to give my monk - at that time unranked - a chance at LoD/infusing* for a ranked group. It was great times. We got great fame runs, and I gained a lot of experience in monking as he gave me pointers along our path the the Hall of Heroes. When our time to prove our selves at the top of the international tournament finally arrived, we were unfortunate enough to suffer a 3 way tie between two other amazing teams (yes I realize I am very inconsistent with spelling out numbers). After that day time passed on, but I would never forget that voice that led us to victory time and time again.

So another day, probably a month later, I am sitting in RA id1 waiting to join battle, when some officer of Pi spams a recruiting message for The Legend of Pi. Prior to this date I had already thought about leaving The Sacred Order of Teriyaki in the hands of Orion or David, but I had not yet given it up. It was at this point that I decided it was time join a guild that could take me places, instead of the dead-end 10 person - 2 people at any given time - max population of our guild. From here on out, it was smooth sailing into rank 3 hero.

So yeah, the day I was invited I hopped on the vent server and chatted it up with a couple of the officers who were there just talking about stuff. They were very inviting and I felt good about my decision to leave Teriyaki. The very next night, as we do every night, our leader got on and organized an ha run (I not amazing at grammars, but "a ha" sounds weird). When I got on the vent server after taking the role of N/Rt healer for a SWAY group, who's voice did I hear? None other than the gracious leader who had taken me in and given me pointers over a month ago. He didn't recognize me by voice, but when I mentioned the three way tie in halls, he remembered. Good times.

So now, what this post was all leading up too, the grand finale, the conclusion! It has almost been two months since I first joined Pi, (1 month and 25 days, but who's counting?), and I have been officially made Officer. Finally my skills and activity (as opposed to inactivity?**) have payed off, and now I can participate at a higher level within the guild. This includes participating in officer of the week, getting a vote for the next guild hall, having a say in what our guild cape should look like, have access to the "officers only" portion of the website, and most importantly.. Recruit new members! Heck, if SOT gets a bit better, I could get it in our alliance and perhaps go back to SOT and still be able to GvG and ha with Pi! Oh btw Pi is not currently recruiting because we have a lot of inactive members and we need to trim down the size of the guild.
Btw I have taken lots of fraps videos of GvG's and Ha runs for anyone who wants to see them. Haven't made them into videos but if you just want the raw videos put your email into a comment or email me @ pronoob5@gmail.com.


*At the time LoD/infusing was a very important role that prevented members of the part from being spiked down. However in the patch of Thursday, November 8th, 2007, LoD was nerfed and WoH took it's place as the WoH/infuser.
**I have no idea if activity can be used to describe the amount of time being spent on Guild Wars, but I know the root "active" describes whether or not you play often so I just assumed activity would work.

Life

So per request I am making another blog post. Okay well Halloween was recently... that's a good starting point. Ok so as 3/4 of the people reading this post already know about the Guild Wars events, I will talk briefly about it. So yeah it was a gamer weekend with a bonus PVP game which was costume brawl. I played it a bit, not as much as I would have liked. Also the main cities were decorated with Halloween attire, they looked pretty cool. During the event there were special items - or treats you could say - that give certain bonuses, or just get your drunk. I found a great way to farm* these items and other rare items and it was good times. On Halloween this guy comes and gives you free items and festival hats that are only available for one day. Ok enough of Guild Wars.
Lets see what else has happened.. worked on brain project with Sai, learned about Bloon Tower Defense, lost our soccer game, started watching Starcraft replays on youtube again, got very addicted to Starcraft replays again, and once again got asked to go to a midnight ultimate game which I had to turn down because of being at my dad's house. Yay being left out!
Other than having to be here, life is good. Chris got a 360 with his birthday money, (I assumed that last part), and I might have to spend more time over there now seeing as how it is two blocks away and just too convenient to pass up. I'm trying to recruit more people to ultimate, but our ratio of guys:girls is looking increasingly worse. Optimal would be 4:3 since we have to field 3 girls, look like at best we are going to get around 5:1. But other than that looks like we will have a good year, lot's of new players with promising attitudes and effort. Last year it was just sad because 3/4 of the team was new to the sport, and the other 1/4 was just okay (generally speaking).
Dammit I made a longer post than usual. I guess this means I will have to read everyone else's long posts. Off to surf blogs then.
Oh and Go Hawks! -- almost game time it was on my mind =P
