>You have said the forbidden word, and in your foolishness you have unleased the kraken.

There was an old thread revival today by Ken Telinome, who said the evil forbidden cancerous words that are “AdminKI” and “UU”.

Player events are all we have now. Back in UU, with the Admins having AdminKIs, “immersion” was being broken all the time, because UU had to be interesting for all of us. We did all sorts of fun, amazing things by ourselves without any help from Cyan. Believe it or not, yes, MO:UL can survive without the guiding hand of Cyan. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed things much more when there was an active Cyan presence. But to say that there is nothing to enjoy in MO:UL unless it comes directly from Cyan is folly, and you will be disappointed at every step of the way if you cannot make the game your own.

 How DARE you bring up the AdminKI. It made everyone miserable and lead to lots of fighting. It was an evil horrid tool that in the right hands would make you appear to be a showoff to various morans.

We’re fine if we keep MOULa as is without bots or fan content

Today was yet another beautiful day. So this afternoon after I got off work I went for a walk around town. Picked up yet another Oriental teacup for my collection, some Egyptian tea and some key lime soda.

I’ve been futzing around in gmod and other places, just goofing off and thinking of ideas for my next video.I have some ideas, I might even do a L4D campaign review and see how that goes.

>How I spent my Sunday.

Toga Toga TOGA!

Everyone dressed in togas, drank red beer or sangria, had cake, ice cream, and kick ass music. Obviously I must have put a bunch of stuff away because it was real hard for me to get out of bed for work this morning. In fact I was almost late.

I’ll mostly be enjoying the sun today. I have to go out for a hair appointment anyway.

>Product Review: Notebook x-fi

The other day a creative x-fi notebook smartcard arrived in the mail, which I purchased so I could have Creative features on my laptop since my Audigy2ZS PCMCIA slot doesn’t fit in the smartcard slot. The adapters were going for pretty close to the same price that I nabbed the x-fi, so I figured it would only make sense to upgrade.

My onboard sound can only switch between microphone or no mic and all other sounds when recording. And since I like to do machinima projects every now and again I figured this new card would do the job… However I was wrong. What u hear and the microphone only work separately. Which pisses me off because I’ve seen the x-fi in action and figured it wouldn’t be much different. I would have been better off getting the PCMCIA card adapter as my Audigy2ZS could kick it’s ass without question. Although I did find a solution. A USB headset… A fucking cheap USB headset. Why the hell is THAT able to do the job for me but a god damn x-fi can’t?

I’m just glad I didn’t pay top dollar for it. Even on ebay right now if you buy one brand new it’s $99. I got mine over half of that as a refurbished model. I’d really be kicking myself if I got one brand new.

It’s still a nice card so don’t get me wrong since it does have 3D positional audio built in. But the stripped down features? Piss poor.

>Sunday Open Thread

My wisdom tooth has decided to torture me again… I woke up today with a throbbing jaw. Lucky I still have plenty of oragel from the last pain attack.

It turns out I don’t have one more week of this bread job. It got extend for god only knows how long. I’m hoping I don’t screw up. I don’t function well in the morning. My mental awareness is alive during the evening. For gods sake they want me to do percentages in the morning!!!!! And by the end of the shift I feel zombified…

It’s been almost a month since I’ve posted a blog entry. Mostly due to apathy and work. I’m doing a temp job ordering bread for a couple weeks until we find a new person. Then I can get back to my regular schedule.

I installed Adobe Audition 3.0.1 the other day. Very neat little program. I also downloaded a couple plugins to run with it. Can’t wait to edit audio for future videos. I think it has everything from echo to robotics.

I visited Myst Online Uru Deathmatch the other day and met a couple people. I was amazed to see people using voice chat. I was among some new comers. and I had a good time. I went in again today but it wasn’t as fun.
