I Hate Huttball

Posted in MMORPG with tags , on February 23, 2012 by theerivs

Hate may not even be a strong enough word for it. Loathe…Detest.

Why do I hate it so much?

5 Reasons I Hate Huttball.

5. The Person Who Wants The Ball – He keeps spamming he wants it, but as soon as he gets it, he dies quicker then a rabbit on a gun range at a NRA convention.

4. The Person Who Wants You To Pass The Ball – He’s always spamming, and screaming at other people to pass the ball. Hey sometimes asshat I have electricity spamming through me.

3. Facing OP guy from the same faction – Man there was this guy, let’s call him Superman. He was a Sith Marauder, and he eats Jedi’s for breakfast, I had the awesome chance to play with him in the Cannon Warzone…Oh crap he’s on the other team in Huttball.

2. Those Flame Zone Things - I’m getting better with them, but once in a while they nab me. Like I’d be chasing an opposing team member and I’d get hit with a blast.

1. That Fucking  Announcer- I hate that mother fucker with a passion.

It’s like I’m Printing Money

So I needed a level 25 speeder in SWTOR, I lacked the funds. Someone told me I should take up slicing. I’m like but the nerfed slicing. Someone told me it was all lies. I started slicing big time, the cases I get are Meh, I mean they pay for the mission…and sometimes way more. The thing that is netting me serious bank as the “Missions” I discover. I mean in the past 3 days of just slicing, and sitting around the Fleet, I made like 100k credits, and still going strong.

I don’t even play the Auction House like I would WoW. I just slap my mission discoveries up on the AH, and bam next day my wallet runneth overth.  If you need credits, take up that slicing, and believe me you’ll be making some bank, well around Level 4 lockboxes and up you will be. 

Now if I can only level my toon to 50, I’m such a slacker it’s sick.  Isn’t my fault I wanted another Sith Warrior to make into a Marauder.

High Latency Living -

Not much gaming this week due to Valentines Day stuff, I did eek out another level in SWTOR. I’m thinking I should of went Marauder instead of Juggernaut. To Late to Reroll Methinks. Just might go up the damage talent charts on the Juggernaut. We’ll see.

High Latency Love –

Been a long time since I shown Werit some love here. I remember him stepping on the scene in the Warhammer Online early days, and he is still faithful to his roots, never giving up on WAR, and thats to be commended. Great blogger, and he’ll always get much love from HLL.

High Latency Laugh-

I love these guys…

Gentleman’s Rant: Valentine’s Day.

With that…

MY PING SUCK, AND PEAS OUT!

 

NSFW-Sixth

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 17, 2012 by theerivs

Morrigu tagged me in this little Meme….called SixthOther’s are doing it too.

Rules…

1. Goto you images folder

2. Open up your sixth sub-folder, and your sixth picture, and publish it.

3. Tag 6 others.

Now here lies my problem, I don’t blog on my gaming machine…so the photos here aren’t of WoW, or anyother game. They are photos for my blog…which some of them might be…well let’s say Not Safe For Work…This is kind of borderline so I thought I would put the tag up there…just in case. Now here is my problem, do I stick to the rules, or the spirit of the meme. Cause the pic is supposed to be gaming in nature, but being the Lawful Evil Bastard I am, we are sticking to the rules…Well here you go, you asked for it.

 

That guy really does love that show…Oh well. Now I got to pick six other people. I’m going to break the cycle thats for sure with these saps, cause like me I never or rarely seen them do a Meme, and you know me I like stirring the pot.

Now like Voltron lets assemble.

Scary at Scary Worlds

Bossy at Bossy Pally

Amber at I Like Bubbles

MMO Gamer Chick at MMO Gamer Chick

Keredria at Tree of Life

Koala at Dots, and Hots

 

Now that I see this motley group, I’m sure this Meme stops here…but never let it say Riv is a spoil sport.

SWTOR Confessional: I suck at Space Battles

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 16, 2012 by theerivs

Ok I have a little confession, what I think is supposed to be the easiest part of the game….is the hardest for me. I just suck at it for some reason. Maybe it’s the controls, it seems when I move the mouse my ship wants to go that way too, then BOOM I hit an asteroid.

Sometimes I think MMO’s ruined me for muscle twitch games like HALO, or Grand Theft Auto. I’m not as good at them as I once was. Heck before MMO’s I use to be a part of a pretty good clan, and use to rock things as a Predator in Aliens Versus Predator, or when I played Mechwarrior, I wasn’t the best…but I was far from the worst.

Whenever I play an action game now it seems like I lost a step, or I’ve lost something. Maybe it’s like working out, if I don’t use it, I lose it. What ever the case may be, fricking space battles I just suck at in SWTOR. I’ll stick to farming Sand People.

My First Love

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 14, 2012 by theerivs

Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a special girl in my life, and I will be spending time with her tonight, to make her feel loved, and special. There was a time where that wasn’t the case. Like all nerds, or geeks I have a lot of Valentines Day’s racked up spent with my other love, my first love….Video Gaming.

Ever since I killed my first Dragon in Adventure with my little pixel spear I knew it was love at first sight. Why other boys were cutting hearts out of construction paper, I was mapping dungeons in Bard’s Tale. When they were writing poetry I was fighting zombies in the Pool of Radiance. When other guys were pining away for love’s lost, I was decapitating Marines in Aliens versus Predators. When they were ordering flowers for their special ladies,  I was planning relic raids at 3am in Dark Ages of Camelot. When they were cuddling watching a movie, I was destroying Gruul in the World of Warcraft with others of my kind.

Sure women have come and gone from my life, and I had my share of good times but there is one constant in my life, one love that I have pursuesd and that’s video gaming. Some call it sad, not me….I know who I am, and I celebrate it. The girl I love knows it too, and she loves me more for it, cause unlike other men she knows where to find me, and it isn’t at the local tavern, or in the arms of another woman. I can be found on Tattoine, force choking some sand people.

So if you have a special gaming geek in your life, give him a little extra squeeze and let him know their special, and if you don’t have anyone special in your life, treat yourself good today….and fuck up some Alliance bitches in WoW.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Since when do girls play video games?

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , , , on February 13, 2012 by theerivs

We all know that women that play video games are just G.I.R.L.’s (or Guys In Real Life), am I right?  Morrigu thought I was a troll and wrote this scathing rebuttle, which I had to laugh, she didn’t realize I was just joking, and having some fun, and that I really dig her stuff..

Why post all the half naked women?  Let’s be honest with each other, I post alot of half naked women on my blog.  So why then,  I love the female form, I find beauty in it. This is my corner of the web, and as you think I am objectifying women, I am posting these pictures in homage to them. I love women to a fault, I open doors for them, I listen to them, and I can even take directions from them well, especially when they tied me up.

Am I Sexist? Yes I admit I am a tad, it’s how I was brought up in an old school Italian way. I think a man should be a man, and a women should be a women. Though I am a Sith, and we do deal in absolutes, it is no excuse to treat a women any less then a human. That being said I have nothing but respect for women, and girls who are out there on the front lines of video game industry trying to change this male ruled virtual universe.  I treat women as equals when I can.

Do women play video games? Of course they do, and alot of them play better then me. There is a blog on my blog roll that I leave up on there in tribute to her, but Hawty McBloggy is a great Halo/FPS gamer and female.  I served under Female Guild leaders like Amber, in several guilds, and Lillis in Blight.  I served on Mage crews with way better mages then me, and they were female. My fellow bloggers who are female are way better players then I could ever hope to be.

Then why be a jerk about it at times? Some one has to be the bad guy, some one has to be the villian. Alot of people on the blogosphere want to be good guys, but to me things don’t get changed if everyone is saying “there isn’t a problem”, when in truth there is. There is method in my madness, while I hold up a mirror and go this is what is wrong. I am a devil’s advocate, a follower of chaos, and an instrument of change.

Am I humble? Fuck no.

Is that a picture of a chick? Hell No, His name is Kimber James.

High Latency Living -

Well still chugging slowly but surely at SWTOR, but STO caught my eye with some of the cool stuff they have namely some cool Klingon ships. Also been hankering to see what the hackers did to my WoW account, but I would have to recover it, and I’m lazy.

High Latency Love -

Morrigu at Arsenic and Old Mooncloth is the latest addition to the Blog Roll, I like the stuff she is writing and I wish her continued success.

High Latency Laugh -

How long until it goes F2P

With that….

MY PING SUCKS, AND I AM OUTTA HERE!

Words have Consequences.

Posted in MMORPG, Writing with tags , on February 9, 2012 by theerivs

An ex-Guild Master of mine once said, “Words have Consequences” to me, saying something, or in some cases not saying something is an action, and I am a firm believe that all actions whether good or bad lead to results, those results lead to other choices, that require action…well to quote Mr. Roosevelt, “Life is just one damn thing after another”  Bossy Pally had a lovely post on Words, and their effect and I thought I would do a little post myself.

Words I Wish They Would Stop Using!

5. Nigga – I hate the fact 13 year old white boys are saying this too each other, without knowing what it means, or what it stands for. They hear the black people calling each other that, and they think it’s cool. It isn’t cool, you walk into an all white upscale store as a black man and see how cool it is to be black. Sure things are getting better, but they are far from perfect.  The term Nigga is a friendly version of the racist word Nigger which means ignorant person. Call each other ignorant all you want, because most likely you are.

4. Fag – Like Nigga, this is tossed around way too much. Being a Homosexual in todays society is rough, you get picked on, maybe your an outcast, so you seek solace in the World of Warcraft, and here you have a Paladin Tank calling you a Fag, cause you can’t heal fast enough.

3. Bitch, Cunt, Any other word denoting you are womanly -  This irks me a bit, because what’s worse then being a homosexual, it’s being a woman. Gamers being male feel that being a woman is weak.  Really my Mom spit me out at 11lbs of an orifice of her body, jesus if that’s weak, I’d hate to see these guys do that. I cringe after burrito night, and I gotta shoot something pretty large out of my ass.

2. Rape - I loathe this word being used in connection with games, and try very hard not to use it in my gaming vocabulary. Rape is a bad thing, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. Hey being a guy don’t think you’ll get raped, you may not. I hope you keep your nose clean, because guess what nerdy little white kid, you end up in prison…yeah you’ll have a new meaning to the word rape. Let’s just say you may want to buy some soap on a rope.  

1. Pwned – I hate this fucking word. Let’s stop using it please.

MMO’s I’m Looking Forward To.

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 7, 2012 by theerivs

I know the dust hasn’t even settled on my Darth Malgus figurine from the SWTOR Collectors Edition yet, and here I am talking about other MMO’s. It’s just a couple of them have me excited. Here’s the ones I’m looking forward to in the order of what I’m actually looking forward to.

5.The Secret World - Not hearing alot about this game, and it’s from Funcom so that’s strike one, but all the mystery has me intriqued.

4.World of Darkness - I loved the Vampire the Masquerade Role Playing Game, and Video Games. Anyone remember the short-lived TV series, yep even loved that. So I’m looking forward to playing as a Vampire, or Werewolf and mixing it up.

3.Guild Wars 2  - I wasn’t a huge fan of the original Guild Wars, but I took a small interest in GW2 after I did TWIMMO on Gamebreaker TV with Rubi.  All that I’m seeing about this game looks smooth, and polished already.

2.Mechwarrior Online – I love the Battletech universe, I remember playing every Battletech Video game I could get my hands on since the Commodore 64, I also use to devour the books. Then in college I played Mechwarrior 4, online, and in a clan. Those were good times, indeed, and I hope to recapture some of my old glory.  Though this might be a World of Tanks with Mechs, I’m still looking forward to it.

1.Warhammer 40k MMO - I love Warhammer, and even though this plans to be an action oriented game. I love Warhammer so much, and hope I can play some Chaos to crush my enemies, and those Imperial Lapdogs.  Hell any man who has a Black Legion Tattoo on his shoulder should be awaiting this game with drool coming out of his mouth
