zomg sotis

sotis = storm of the imperial sanctum = sc2 dota clone

I've been playing a lot and pwning it up quite hard, and apparently people have noticed.

I just got invited to join a sotis team with the best of the best. It's really sweet actually and I needed somewhere to express my excitement.

Holy shit I'm going to be on the same team as NapalmITM... I remember when I first started playing inhouse and he was my hero. Er... not the hero I used but the person I looked up to... right I probably didn't need to explain that... but now I seem really stupid.

RARARARGGARARGGARA I AM VERY EXCITE

I've been playing inhouse quite a bit and I don't think I've ever really lost a game. I lost once when it was AR (all random) but that was because we got shit heroes and they got a nice team composition. Anyway now that I'm on a team with Napalm, NiR, Psykomerc, and Hello... I'm pretty sure we will be unstoppable. I can't wait for the sotis ladder to start up.. and then maybe some sotis North America tournaments. There has been at least 1 Euro sotis tournament now I just want it to come to North America.

Well my life hasn't been all sotis (god dammit). I've been broke for a while so I realized I need to start getting money again so I can at least pay for my portion of the pizza we get every Saturday after ultimate when we play munchkin. Doing a bit of ChaCha but it's hard to get back into the habit because it's pretty draining. A lot harder than you would think. So far I've got $50 this month but I haven't been working nearly enough (never more than an hour a day and only really a couple times).

UWB ultimate is going well. We finally won a game last week (1-2) and things are starting to pick up as we now have 3 reliable girls: Kelsey, from UWB I assume, and Noel and Emma. I'm trying to be more of a leader on the field and say something after every point, because really our biggest weakness is organization... also throwing and catching.

Every week after Ultimate David, Chris, Eric, now maybe Sai, and I get together and play some munchkin (original 2010 printing). Chris had a birthday last week.. or was it this week.. and he got munchkin also. Unfortunately it was the same as mine. I'm thinking DAVID might GET CTHULHU since that seems to be his favorite version and then we can mix it up sometimes. Though I do think I'll get the munchkin 2 expansion eventually.
Last session we started playing Epic Munchkin. Wow crap I'm actually starting to think about my writing and how shitty this blog is and how awful that topic sentence was and how this is a run-on sentence. So with Epic Munchkin you play to level 20 and once you reach level 10 you are at "epic status". Each epic race and class have an additional special ability, such as Hand of the Gods (hold as many cards in your had as you want) for Dwarf. In addition to a knew kick-ass ability, you also have to flip over two cards in your kick-down-the-door phase. If it's two monsters... say King Tut and Bullrog like David got, then you have to fight both. If it's a monster and a monster enhancer, the enhancer applies to the monster. So far the one game we played of epic munchkin took over 3 hours. It was fun though especially at the end when 3 people were level 18-19 for 3 rounds before someone finally won.. and I can't even remember who won. After that session I checked out the website and found that they have a great forum and a really long FAQ to answer all of our questions. No longer will we argue about rules!.. haha yeah right of course we will.

idk else to write about and conclusion paragraphs are for noobs.

oh right I want Pure Pwnage the tv show to come back but all I could find on the site were short videos similar to when they did the production blog.

SC BETA OMFG!!!!!

It was worth an entire post for a link.

V

It's 5:17am right now. Today I woke up extremely late to the ring of my cell phone as David called to tell me he and Sai were going to get some special pokemon again. Unfortunately I can't find my DS so it doesn't really do me any good. I got another call... idk over an hour later from Sai saying that he and David were on their way over and we were going to hang out a David's for a while. I brought some GCN controllers and we played Brawl for probably a few hours. When I got up I went back on GW and started "getting lucky". While doing that I finished listening to today's podcast that was interrupted when David and Sai arrived. The guest today was Jace Hall. He hosts a small internet show called The Jace Hall Show. I was interested since he is a former game producer and is a big gamer. I looked up the show on google, but it was kinda hard to find the episodes. Eventually I stumbled on to Season 3 Episode 3. That was not a good place to start. Going into I had no idea what to expect, so it was really confusing. I wanted to give it a second try though, so I did a bit more digging and found the first season.
Ok that was a long paragraph so lets start a new one for no structural reason other than that it was getting too long similarly to the length of this sentence. I got addicted after about 3 episodes of the Jace Hall Show, so I started to stay up into the early hours of 2am. The episodes are really short, so it's deceiving how much time I was actually spending watching it. After finishing season 1 and 2, and catching the first 3 episodes of season 3, I was still hungry for more. Jace mentions a few times on the podcast and on his show that he is involved in a new show called V. I had heard about it through commercials but never really gave it a second thought.. like most things I hear about. Anyway I wasn't ready to quit and go to sleep so I decided to look into V. I found that the 3 episodes released so far are online on ABC so I watched the first one just now. I think I will get addicted to it now and it will be to me what 24 was when I first discovered it. Ok actually that is a really bad analogy because it's not like 24 at all... maybe Stargate SG-1 would be a bit better since it is a Sci-fi.
Anyway the only reason I'm posting is because I'm really into V after just one episode (the pilot) and on ABC you have the option of watching a long commercial before the show so that you don't have to stop every 5 minutes to watch an ad. Actually the "long commercial" was only 90 seconds and has been over for some time, I just felt obligated to finish this post.

Now back to V.

New Years Resolution

I've finally decided I should have a new years resolution this year. My new years resolution for 2010 (twenty-ten) is to lie less and be more honest. I've heard that the average person lies 1-3 times per 10 minute conversation, but I think that is mostly because of people like me who lie with every word. Seriously I lie a lot.
I figure I will live a much easier and happier life if I were to lie less, so I've made it my goal to cut lying cold turkey. Wait... ok that's not right I just typed that out but really in my mind I know that I'll just have to work on cutting down on the lies. From simple lies like, "yeah I have 200k", (I really had 130), to lies while on the phone such as, "no Ashley, I'm not playing on the computer" or, "ok I'll go to sleep right after we hang up", I need to cut back all around. Yeah that sentence makes no sense to me now but w/e. OUCH. I just swallowed a Sun Chip without chewing. RAARRWG it hurts. Ok it's passed my throat.
So SUCKol removed SWUF from Spring League because only 7 people payed by the deadline she set two weeks ago. I understand that she doesn't want to get screwed, but her reasoning was she didn't think we could even get 10 people together on Saturdays for games. I don't think that's true because on Thursdays we usually get turn outs of 12-14 kids. A lot of the people are busy on the other days with other clubs and getting stoned and such, but I think that when March comes around we would have had enough to field a team. And hell, if they need two more David, Eric and I are more than willing to fill in =P.
Having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I'll try to relax around 11-12 by watching tv or something, and then go lie down sometime between 12-1, and I still can't seem to fall asleep. I've been trying to wake up at a consistent time every morning though so that eventually I figure I will pass out from exhaustion. Take that body! I was just thinking one cause of my sleep problem could be how I fucked up my circadian rhythm by sleeping really late on those days when it would get dark really early, so I didn't get much daylight before it would get dark outside.
Last Saturday was my birthday, it turned out almost exactly as I wanted. I didn't go out to dinner, I spent it alone with Ashley, and... well you can fill in the rest with whatever you see fit. Got a nice water bottle from my mom, my dad got me the new Dan Brown book... or was that Andrea... either way that's what I got from them. From Kelsey I got pixie sticks, which she knows to be my favorite... candy? Idk if flavored sugar can be considered candy.
Oh also David gave me some shit he wanted to clean out of his storage in GW.
I should go now, we have family coming over for a "game night". This could turn out to be a great time, or me and Kelsey watching a bunch of adults drink all night.

I think I ended my last two posts in the same way... but I can't remember what that way was...

gg?
