Just a short snippet here.

I am super busy with life at the moment, but wanted to at least make an attempt to blog.

For those of you who listen to DDOcast, I have been either doing a segment, participating in a live show, or being a guest voice in a commercial over the last month. Have fun picking out whose voice is whose on there

Thats the back cover of PC Gamer’s December 2009 issue. Don’t faint, but DDO has ACTUAL print advertising Who knew?

In other news, I tried to attend the air show here a couple of weekends ago, but the absolutely cruddy weather kept me from seeing anything fly.

I did however have time to ask the hubby to shoot pics of the pink things

Ok seriously, I don’t know why we need a pink construction truck, but I thought it deserved a nod.

The pink Delta airplane. If I were rich and famous, I would totally have to have one of these.

I know I am late in saying this, but October is Breast Cancer awareness month in case you were living under a boulder and completely missed it

I used to almost ignore Breath Cancer Awareness. While I knew it was important to my health and to my gender, I was younger, much less evolved, and generally thought there was no need to think about cancer.

Reality crashed around me when my mother was diagnosed several years ago. I became intimately aware of risk factors, ports, drug therapies, Chemo, Radiation and how to tie a scarf properly.

She is a survivor and I type that with a great deal of emotion. Nothing has ever rocked our family like cancer has.

Never take your world for granted.

So do yourself a favor, do a breast examine routinely, get a baseline mammogram, and remind your girlfriends to touch, check and keep track of changes in their breasts.

I love the color pink for many reasons, October reminds me its more than a fashion choice. It’s about stamping out Breast Cancer, treating out bodies with respect, and being an advocate for our own health.

I am off to do some work. Tonight is Static group night in DDO, and I am looking forward to finding new ways to kill some monsters.

Game On!!!

I was looking for ideas for a segment (insert rant) to do tomorrow or Saturday.  Turbine was feeling generous and gave me a whole list of things to work with *blows Turbine a kiss*

If you’re wondering where the list is, please follow the link here to the Lamannia Release Notes.

I would expound further, but don’t want to steal my own thunder.  You will simply have to listen to this weekends show.

Moving on… (forces herself to focus through the red haze)…

I have still not been able to run the new raid.  Zeff got in on one run tonight, but since both of us only have clerics flagged atm, I sat it out.  Didn’t think it was fair to run 2 noob clerics in one run.  Well that and my guild leader yells.  I have a short temper.  Didn’t seem harmonious

I’m redoing one of my accounts as we speak.  Still thinking of taking one of them free to play in the next few months.  I have 6 of them to think about it since I was wrong about my billing date HA!  My second account really has only one character that is played, my Sorc for static group.  I figure I can back enough points in the next 6 months to take it completely free and not miss a thing.

Quest list is looking pretty complete and I think Zeff and I will put out the revisions on Saturday.  If you have anything else to get to us, PM me on the forums, or e-mail me.  BTW THANK YOU to everyone who has been sending in information, its been really helpful.

I’ve gotten my new inventory system under control.  My mule is having a field day.  A massive hug to all you plat laden folks over on Argo who are shopping the Auction House.  You make me smile every time I log into my mule and see the little gold coins in my mail box

On another front entirely, the Navy has been busy putting out promos.  I am pasting in the link to this great vid below.  It’s music and clips only, mostly historical navy stuff.  Pretty darn cool.

Historial Navy Video

I am off to crawl in bed and watch some Star Trek Next Generation.  We’re up to Season 6.  Hoping to get through a few episodes before he has to be gone again.

GAME ON!!!

I decided to roll a monk for my Permadeath character a couple of weeks ago.  I guess I could only boycott them for a year :)  I still don’t have a pink belt on my female monk, but I have to admit, I am enjoying her.

I don’t know that most people notice, but I truly don’t like playing melee characters.  I don’t know why, I just like support classes.  Plus, there is something so satisfying about nuking a kobold into oblivion!

However, I am finding all the kicking and punching on my monk terribly fun.  I can’t seem to help myself.  I want to play with my ki points, so I run up at any baddie I can find and whack on them.

I’ve made it to level 4 on my permy, Rowanfists.  I know, who knew?  I survived the gun barrel of butchers path, visited Durk the Deranged 3 times and have yet to meet Muck, ran threw waterworks, and exploded Yar Yars ship in Irestone Inlet.

Can i just throw in here, that the ship’s explosion has to be one of the coolest additions to the game they have made.  I simply had to run that content to see it. KABOOM!!!

In other news, I finally got my cleric flagged for the new raid.  Not sure when I am going to eek out the time to run it.  I’ve been busy with my new inventory system and spreadsheet lists.

I want to thank everyone who has been sending in information on the quest list.  I think we are going to publish a huge revision this weekend.  The hubby has been super on top of checking things.  We got word from a player some of the previous quests had their favor changed.  He was right.  Not to mention it looks like a ton of the quests had their XP revisited again.  I love the unpublished changes

My hand is slow to heal.  I am still playing without the use of my index finger, and part of the hand.  I am finding it near impossible to heal on the new content and owe my guildies a huge thank you for putting up with me.

I’ve wondered if that is why I am enjoying a melee character all of a sudden.  All I have to do is move and punch stuff, no spell casting, no real specials, just hit it and kill it.  It’s less complicated, so I am less frustrated.

I’ve played a lot of DDO in the last week or so.  It’s full of new people, which is fabulous.  I am enjoying the enthusiasm for the game I see from them.

I haven’t pugged at all.  I am staunchly an in guild person atm.  The hubby is looking for a way to help out new players, and we are giving it some thought.  We have heard of a friend who is running a guild for lowbies to show them th egame.  I am fairly sure the hubby will join it.

I am off to accomplish some actual work.  If I am good girl, I will get to game later.

Game on!!!
