I Am A: Neutral Good Human Sorcerer (4th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-14
Constitution-11
Intelligence-16
Wisdom-15
Charisma-15
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

I have Final Fantasy 12, but I haven't really gotten very far. Fran's voice does wonderful horrible things to my brain.

I'm tuba-ing with Rich Sigwald, working on putting together a new Brass Quintet. We have a bitchin arrangement of Journey's Seperate Ways.

My grandmother passed away earlier this week. She'd been in decline for the last few months. I called her last week, though I did most of the talking. She was out in California with my Aunt, receiving in home care. Dad went to visit last week also. He said she smiled for the first time in a while during my phone call. Its only because of that phone call that I'm feeling ok.

The Lester Bangs of Video Games by Chuck Klosterman
http://www.esquire.com/features/articles/2006/060610_mfe_July_06_Klosterman.html
and the followup QA by GameSpot
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6153778.html
------
Let me just say, at the risk of garnering the venom of every hardcore gamer and layman video game detractor, *I* would like to be this person.
Damn the UMBC VPA and music for giving me this "everything is art" notion. (Though they didn't have to do much: I've always been pretty accepting of any oddball concept) This article doesn't help matters, since there's someone else that can state, even if just enough to make his point, that video games could be considered an artform.
And deep video game criticism is absolutely attainable, but it absolutely can't happen the same way it did went print media was so many time more relevant and important than it is today.
In the followup, Klosterman touches on the stumbling block here: who among gamers is a credible writer, and willing to invest time in game experience criticism? I've gamed all my life, but I have no writing authority. And beyond that, I dont' have wide spread game authority. Blog as I might, how does one break the blog noise and ring out relevant?
But, there is the hope that someone recognized among a good portion of gamers can break away and become this figure. My money would be on Will Wright (Should he retire), Mr. Miyamoto (should he ever retire and become surly) or Adam Sessler (given a large enough leash). Say what you will about G4, X-Play is a fairly smart show, with fairly smart writing. Given a larger stage, the show could possibly have wide appeal and a chance at mainstream (or journalsim-stream) credibility.
One can only hope. Or start taking journalism courses.

Spent the last 10 hours looking for my bank card, which I have now found, and my miniFlash reader that I bought for my phone's memory card, which I have not found yet.
Happily, I've got the infinitely more important of the two.
```````````
I've borrowed Pikmin. Miyamoto is a genius, but you don't have to take my word for it.
Also just started playing New Super Mario Bros. Quality.
```````````
I've written an email to Val, and I'm pretty sure I sent it. I have to remember not to write emails on the WebAccess Client for .mac, which appears not to save sent messages.
We'll know when / if a response is sent. :(
```````````
Monique and I are working our way through Season 1 of Lost.
```````````
X-Men The Last Stand. To put it short and spoiler free, 3 out of 5.
```````````
So, is anyone else ready for a Spiderman and Friends crossover movie featuring Spiderman, Iceman and Human Torch?
You know what I'm talkin' about. I'll go see it.
Crossover movie. It's Marvel. You can't tell me someone at Executive level hasn't considered it.
But that is giving executives alot of credit.

I can be downloaded at iTunes!
which is to say, a track that I played tuba on is available to download:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=39324283&s=143441&i=39324271
This, actually, is also the same exact track used in the State Farm insurance commercial.
Time to hunt down my royalties!!! :p
Not really, since I doubt most seriously I'm entitled. But, this is a nice surprise / ego boost.

OpenPath Products is still treating me right. Best. Company. Ever.
Brokeback Mountain was respectable.
I have Dragonquest VIII with the Final Fantasy 12 demo and I haven't looked at either.
I wish I had more time in a day.
My resolution is to procrastinate less on the easy things (health etc)
. . . I think it'd be funny to come into work with a tray of Rice Krispy Squares on next Tuesday. Anyone else? Maybe because a majority of my workplace would get the humor.
. . . Is it Zen to buy a 365 days of Zen desk calendar for the year 2005, and, having forgotten that you had it, never look at it or think about opening it until 2006,? Or perhaps its just a waste of $9?

HEY!
Did you get this game yet?
The Movies!
Were you thinking about it?
I haven't (Mac gamers have a 6 month waiting period for games. Must be dangerous . . .), but I know some of you are into that sort of thing. You know who you are.
```````````````
It is my hope that this LGTVGSA will sap your time and ultimately ruin your ambition and drive, thwarting your plans for world domination. If you would like further suggestions to that effect like FREAKING SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR AND DID YOU EVEN PLAY ICO? GET WITH IT, PLEASE!, I will be more than happy to suggest them for you.

My job is the best.

Warcraft Addiction has prevented me from defeating Shadow of the Collosus and/or acquiring Star Wars Battle Front 2.

I do a 9 hour day, plus a total 1h 25m commute per day. That's not counting often necessary crunch time/overtime. I work lots, but feel no pain. Wanna test games in Annapolis? If you think you're at all qualified to manage uploading/downloading/play testing/proofreading/problem solving/time managing all day long for not especially stellar but ok-I-guess pay, I'd certainly consider it.

Still need to find out if there's anyway I can smuggle myself into E3 now that I'm "in the industry".

``````````````
I TEST GAMES FOR MONEY!
``````````````
Lemme tell you. It is a good gig . . . that I cannot ever talk about in any specific detail.
But I will say a few things folks:
``````````````
They pay for my health insurance. All of it (less co-pays I'm sure).
Also, they buy us lunch. Today was pizza. Yesterday was Thai/Chinese/Japanese. Friday was Baja Fresh.
`````````````
In return, I tell them how the games don't work.
I might actually put my Tuba Degree in a frame now.

I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad that I did.

"I will be accepting donations for car repair for Christmas this year. I give it a year or so at this rate for Sheila."
Sheila became reluctantly repairable two weeks ago. Blown head gasket. $800 of labor. That repair dinnae happen folks.
Sooooooo I now have a NEW (used) CAR!
I have the 2002 version of this car
Love. This. Car.
Sun roof, a CD player, v6 engine (Go fast when you want to engine), Trunk space for 2 Tubas (three people), removable cup holders, Power doors, Power windows, Power driver's seat, Airbags for days, cruise control and a coolant system that does not produce Irish cream coffee colored sludge.

I feel pretty disconnected from everybody.
No really, everybody.
`````````````
But I guess I'm alright with that?
I dunno. There's a nasty level of freedom in not feeling connected.
I live in Fort Washington, when I don't sleep in Baltimore. I play in WoW, but I work in Bowie. But from tomorrow on I'll be working in Annapolis, spending nearly 2 hours in my car on a work day (Not to mention an hour one way to be in Baltimore).
Everybody around me has problems that I can't fix, so I have to accept that. In that acceptance, there's a alot of disconnecting going on.

What the problem with the guy that's doing alright?
Not everyone else is doing alright.

Starting September 21st, I will be a wireless games tester.
`````````````````````````
I'm freaking out, in my own subdued and calm sort of way . . .
````````````````````````
See, it doesn't pay much more, and I have to drive way farther to get to work (Annapolis). But, I don't have to work weekends (at least not in crunch time), I don't have to handle customer complaints, and, at last, I get a chair.
And besides, how often do you get the reasonable opportunity to be a game tester, in Maryland even. I'll tell you how often.
Not that often my friend. Not that often.
