Yeah, so I was going to make a nice, long, thoughtful post. And then I realized I didn’t really have anything to say.
Meh.
Instead I will leave you with this preview of Student Wars: Booooth
Liek omgz pr0n!
…
Actually, it’s a very cute picture.

Apologies to people for the spoilers in yesterday’s post. I hope they didn’t ruin anything for you… I mean, they weren’t really too blatant, I don’t think. Meh.
You should see X3 though, if you havn’t already.
As promised:
Um… this has to be a new record. I have made 111 of the 126 cards in Student Wars: Booooth in the past 3 days. I expect to be finished with the expansion tonight. This means both Hijinks and Booooth will be uploaded this weekend for your downloading pleasure. If I have time, I’ll also create some theme decks so people have an easier time playing (all you have to do is download the cards, assemble the decks per the provided card lists, print, and play).
I’m also especially proud of this expansion because it really brings out the differences in the various concentrations (Programming, Artist, etc). It also adds 106 characters (8 dual) to the pool, which means it should now be a lot easier to build decks themed around a specific concentration. My one regret is the name… I should have named it something like “Activities” or something, because there’s a lot more in the set than just Booth (cluster raving and graduation, for example). Oh well.
Things for future expansions: More attach events (Addition attribute, specifically). More GPA dealing with the rarer traits. More uses for the “study” line of traits. More rules. More faction-themed or faction-friendly cards.
Given that I also finished most of Hijinks, I’ve made around 150-175 cards over this break (in addition to creating the entire Booooth card list). Not bad at all. Whee.
People please play? You can read the rules for now. They’re a bit confusing though… I may post a “walkthrough game” for you to read and/or play so you can better understand how the game works. I’m proud of it. Whee.
Not much else. Went to lunch with Nui today at Crazy Buffet. Lots of yummy sushi and dim sum and random chinese dishes. And green tea ice cream. Mmm, mmm.
Det är en titel
I’m running out of languages for post titles. Meh.
It occurs to me that I never posted this:
I’ll post rlambert with rasterbated pfriedma tomorrow.
Um… saw X3 today. It was fairly good. People die. Meh. But then person undies, so it’s okay. I guess. Overall it was very well done, but I dunno…
59/126 cards in Booooth are now done. Not bad for only 2 days’ worth of work. If I keep going at this rate, I can get it done before I get back to CMU and have it uploaded this weekend (along with Hijinks). I’ll work more tonight and hopefully get at least 75 done.
WordPress’ archiving style (going by month only, no way to access a list of all entry titles/dates) is driving me kinda crazy. I should see if there’s a plugin to do individual archive indexes or something.
Back to PA in 6 days. Yay.
Isto é um título
Greg’s pretty good… got most of the post title languages… He didn’t get the last one though.
English German Italian Dutch
Anyone care to guess today’s and yesterday’s?
In any case, I actually got stuff done today! Besides batching massive amounts of photos (and uploading them over my horrible dialup connection), I also modded the photo script to add thumbnailing! jgrafton provided me a function to create thumbnails, and then I just modded it… so now, whenever a new gallery is uploaded, the first person that views it triggers thumbnail creation for it… the thumbnails are then saved so the next person doesn’t need to wait. Yay!
Check all of it out at here.
Got a bit more done with Student Wars. I’m hoping to have Booooth done (or mostly done) by the time I head back to Pittsburgh. Probably won’t happen (99 cards left to make), but meh. Not having to find quotes for all the characters really helps though.
Had an amazing lunch today at Fogo & Brasa, a Brazillian steakhouse. Yay for yummy food stuffs.
Um… yeah. 7 days until I head back to Pittsburgh. Yay!
Um, meh.
Liek OMGZ Orgy!
(That’s actually a card in Student Wars: Booooth… whee)
Dette er en Tittel.
Last night was one of my best KoL nights ever. Was able to get from the airship all the way to ascending in one day. Granted, I started the day with 170 adventures, and got an extra ~75 from my pasta dishes, but still… I had amazing airship luck. Used my spooky fairy, and got all the drops I needed along the way to getting the 4 immateria and S.O.C.K. Had good luck in the castle… got enough muscle non-combats to gain 4 muscle stats while getting all the drops needed while turning the wheel to get the egg. Got slightly screwed in the hole when it took a while for the third star chart to drop (ended up with something like twice as many stars and lines as I needed), but that’s ok. My chef-in-a-box exploded just after I made my last necessary potion (yay for weird food!). Had to go back to the valley to get ‘n’s, but it only took 10 adventures to get the two I needed. Sorceress went down first try (yay thrust-smack!). Woot.
Today Vicki and David came over and we played Risk. It is incredibly scary to see an army of ~12 cannons (120+ units) marching across North America and Asia… especially when you’re the one trying to hold Asia. Oh well. Was a good game though. I don’t know if I like this style of playing (draw a card every time you conquer a country; trade in at any time during your turn; redeployment phase limited to one country’s troops across one border) or the style I played at CMU (draw one card at the end of your turn if you attacked at all; trade in at the beginning of your turn; unlimited redeployment of all troops across any distance). This style lets the game turn around really quickly… all you have to do is conquer a bunch of small countries (easy in Asia, where borders are drawn weird) and trade in to get huge armies… Vicki basically conquered the other half of Europe, North America, and Asia (or would have if I hadn’t surrendered) in one turn since she kept on getting cards and trading in. She ran out of yellow troops and had to start using green. Meh.
Oh yes, and I still get horrible defense rolls. Bleh.
I think it’s going to be my goal to post one picture in every post from now on. Not necessarily a photo… but at least some kind of image (just because I’ve been doing it lately, and it adds something to posts besides boring text).
Also adding a new page to archive all the used photos, I guess. Whee.
What else… um… graduation last night was fun, but I already wrote about that. Photos are up. You should go look at them.
Fixed my forums after they’d been dead for a couple months. Not that anyone cares, since no one ever uses them anymore. Had to actually go in and hack the database since the upgrade somehow screwed up and didn’t upgrade the tables properly (and screwed up the theme I was using). Then had to hack at the script itself a bit too. Meh. At least it works now.
Props to anyone who can identify all the “This is a title” post title languages over the past few days. I’ve just been using online translation sites. Whee. Also props to people who give me good suggestions for post titles.
