Update from the world of EverFarm

Squee!  My main in EQ is now level 75!  It took a week of grinding on light blue mobs to slowly claw her way up but she made it and it was 100% soloed/two-boxed - mostly soloed.  Because I don't have the Secrets of Faydwer expansion yet 75 is the maximum level any of my characters can reach.  So that is where she will be staying.  I'm not ponying up $40 for SoF when a new expansion is slated to come out in November that will be both an all-in-one pack and another level cap increase.

Sure, I loose out on factioning and whatnot while SoF is still current but honestly I've always fallen behind the expansion curve.  I still don't have any of the spells from Depths of Darkhollows.  Unfortunately the harsh nerf to Decrepit Skin killed any enthusiasm I once had to do those mission arcs.

In other news a friend from DeviantArt opened up her own storefront to showcase her photography.  Making a living off of Internet art is difficult to say the least but may she find good fortune in her endeavors.

Langrisser Update:

There are only 2 more battles to go.  I really should get those done now shouldn't I so I don't have to worry about it anymore.  Hmm, those videos will probably be up sometime this week.  I'd also like to do a preview video from Scenario 4? but it would have to be in Japanese.

Battle Realm news:

I want to make a detailed video or series of videos going through the steps of creating a new map in Worldmaster.  We'll see how that goes.  I still have a couple other video ideas that I need to flesh out - namely a dark wizard parody video that I first thought of back in December but have been too lazy or distracted to draw stills for.

It's March already?

Why yes, yes it is.  In fact it's just past the Daylight Savings Time shift.  Blarg.  I hate losing an hour's sleep on Sunday just in time to wake up stupid early for the cable guy to show up.  Oh well it couldn't be helped because our cable internet decided to do it's annual I-don't-wanna-work-well-anywhere spat and I wasn't about to let it get worse before calling customer support.  I really hate trying to play Everquest when the connection is whacky.  It usually goes like this when I'm boxing:

"Ok, time to get another mob." *Sk runs out, pulls, and comes back with mob.  Turn on auto attack.*

YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED

"*****HALFLING!!!!!****"

If I'm lucky in that situation the cleric will survive unscathed but that depends on how long it takes for the sk to die.  The server controls linkdead characters exactly like mobs except even stupider.  They won't use spells, clicks, or potions to survive but will flee at low health meaning you could log back in and wonder where the corpse went to.  If the sk survives long enough the server will drop the cleric bot unhurt because nothing is attacking her.  Then she just has to survive the log back in to rez the poor leezard.

Oh well, enough of the rant.  In other news I'm being very lazy with the Langrisser 2 walkthrough.  Scenario 2? is done and I've been condensing the stages down to the bare minimums.  Without decent video editing software I'm stuck doing hard cuts which I'm sure must be annoying but is an unfortunate necessary evil.

I've also been busy making prints for DeviantArt.  You can find my profile and gallery right here.  Progress is slow on new files and that's because I can only work in short bursts before my arm get's too tired to cooperate.  Then I sit back and enjoy some videos for awhile or go watch TV.

I watched Season one of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe dvd last week leading to this rather interesting new wallpaper.  It's not like the frame needed much help to demonstrate just how stupid Skeletor can be.
