Whee

Posted on by

Finished the Internships expansion for Student Wars yesterday. The tenative card list for the final expansion, Loose Ends, is also posted. I hope to have those finished, and to have Student Wars v2 started, by the end of next semester. Whether that’ll happen or not is anyone’s guess.

Also, as a note to myself, I need to work on graphical cards for the STD TCG, and also to make more cards for the Cluster card game.

Last night was a good day in KoL. I managed to get to level 11 in 2 adventures (I just needed 2 clover adventures + stat script) and beat the sorceress with no problems (had over 150 HP left; her first form only dealt 15 damage the entire time). Then I power levelled to level 15 in about 110 adventures while simultaneously building my NPZR (keep in mind a lot of those adventures were spent at the shore getting the toaster), then farmed for clockwork keys for my remaining 160 adventures. Then I ascended as an AT and got to level 4. So yeah, it would have been a sub-1000 turn run if I hadn’t wanted to level to 15 to perm pulverize. With just the levelling, its around a 1000 turn run. The only thing that made the turncount so high was my farming.

Yesterday Kat and I went to see Victor and Leon’s puppies. Oh god, they’re so cute!
Er… Oh god, there so cute! Their cuter than you’re puppies, and they have the affect of making you go “awwwww”. Your weak for puppies, you know you are.
That was painful >_<


In other news, my new memory card makes my camera say there are 1.2K available pictures… but the battery is on its way out (already :-\ although given how much I use it I guess it’s not a big deal) so I only get enough power for a couple hundred (on a full charge, although it’s stopped charging correctly, so that doesn’t mean anything).
Wheee!

Life is amazing and awesome and makes me happy.

New Year’s Meme

Posted on by

First off, because I’m a moron and forgot to thank people…
Thank you to everyone for the Christmas gifts!
Thanks to Apphia for the packs of UFS cards. Maybe we’ll actually make a play session next semester :-P
Thanks to Mars and Dan for the candy. Yum yum. I still have a bunch left for when I get back.
Thanks to Judith for the mug and cocoa. You didn’t have to get me something… after all, you overpay me for the work I do for you. But thank you very much.
Thanks to Ev for Battlestar Galactica season 1. We’ll have to watch it together or something when I get back.
Thanks to Vicki for the Geek book. It’s amazing. Yay equations for calculating if you should date or not!
Thanks to David for the box of Bunny Suicides. It’s also amazing. Yay cute bunnies killing themselves in weird ways!

Also, thanks to a certain someone for all the good times and experiences over the past 2 and a half months. I’d say it’s been like a roller coaster, except it hasn’t. It’s been more like an elevator to the top floor, where you get off and are exhilarated by the sights and experience. Thank you for everything. Most of all, thank you for making me feel the way you do… you make me unbelievably happy, and I hope that I do the same. <3

Wow, that was horrifically, unbelievably corny.
*ack*
*dies*

Meme going around, yeah yeah…
First sentence of each month (along with commentary):

Jan: I fail at social stuff. *sigh* It feels like I never get to see friends here and, despite, everything, I’m growing apart from them.
Still feel that way, somewhat. Bleh.

Feb: No really, this post is all about me.
Moreso than other entries, even…

Mar: The prints for my documentary assignment came out pretty well. Hopefully I did a better job on this assignment than the abstract photography one, so whee.
Well, I got A’s on both, so I guess I did do well.

Apr: Well, I’m posting this from New York… finally decided to spend the stupid $15 to get internet my last night here because I needed to confirm my flight tomorrow and such.
New York was so awesome… I wish I could go back sometime.

May: I havn’t updated in forever. This still isn’t a real update. Wheee.
Wheee!

Jun: My desk area r teh photo-y! :-D
This image was actually the first thing in the entry, but it wasn’t a sentence, so meh.

Jul: Played something like 5 rounds of DDR/ITG today. The guy I played with (Dan) was trying to add new songs to the ITG machine. It didn’t really work, unfortunately (can you imagine playing neoMAX on the machine? droooolllll), but whatever.
Well, now neoMAX is on the machine, so we can play it, and it is all kinds of awesome. Whee!

Aug: Home has been full of busy and lazy.

Sep: Yeah, so… classes have been inte You know, it’s 1 AM… this homework can wait until tomorrow, as can writing a real journal entry.
Zzzzzz

Oct: I should just walk away. Walk away and never look back. But I can’t, and I won’t. Oh well.
And then, 11 days later, we entered a relationship. Amazing how things worked out :)

Nov: I. Hate. Graphics.
I. Still. Hate. Graphics.

Dec: It seems I’m writing in here more and more sporatically. This is probably a good thing.
Eh, I guess it’s a good thing.

Card games

Posted on by

I’ve started work on a new Supernatural card game.




It probably needs a lot of tweaking before it’s balanced, but meh.

I’ve also doubled the number of available cards in the Cluster card game, and revised the rules to make them work a little better (hopefully). Any feedback on the game (if you play it with your family or something) would be amazing and muchly appreciated. Please?

Graphic cards for the STD card game are coming soon. I need to get up the motivation to find gross pictures of STDs online (or draw my own).

So yeah, that’s really all I’ve been doing lately. Break is boring. Blar.

T(i/hy)me Cube?

Posted on by

I’m sure everyone reading this has read (or at least heard of) Time Cube.
Well, this site (Thyme Cube) popped up today. I know absolutely nothing about it. Nothing at all. Especially not about where it came from.
*whistles*

Also, happy vertically-challenged-labor-force-and-horizontally-challenged-overmind-relaxation day to everyone.

Also, WTF AHHH the season finale for Supernatural season 1 is a cliffhanger (kinda)! I stil think they could have done a better job with it though. They should have cut to black and then done credits instead of cutting to black and then coming back for about 20 seconds to pan over the primary cast, unconcious, before going to credits. I think that takes a lot away from the impact (no pun intended) of the scene. I dunno. I must say though, nothing else in the entire season was able to spook me as much as that scene…. talk talk yadda yadda BAM. I think I literally jumped. Awesome awesome… I love it when TV can do that.

The world of KoL is going decently, I guess. Doing a SC run to get pulverize, which should be awesomely awesome. Whee. I’ll probably follow with a HCT AT run to get phat loot. I don’t know.

I should go photographing again. I’m starting to feel camera withdrawl and it always makes me unhappy.

Finals #3 and #4 done

Posted on by

My last two finals went much better than my first two. Algo this morning actually wasn’t all that terrible. I especially liked the FFT problem, and I’m fairly confident about most of my answers. Numerical methods was a bit more difficult than I was expecting (no proofs this time though!), but still quite doable. I feel like an idiot for adding 2 -1 + 1 and getting 0, and having to ask her if there was a problem with the question because my answer wasn’t making sense and I couldn’t find anything wrong with my work.

I like this picture… props to John for choosing a good location.

Relatedly, my final crit for color photo on Wednesday went really well. I’m really proud of some of the images… I’ll post the best of it in art eventually.

Yesterday in KoL, I beat the sorceress and farmed the hell out of the Crimbo areas. It’s amazing how I was able to start the day with 45 adventures, then free the king and get access to my food and drink again, and earn another ~200 adventures off of chow meins and crimbo booze. Yar.

I suppose I should finish packing and sleep soon.
