Howdy, cowpokes. Ol' Tex, back in the saddle.
 
It's a four-day weekend for yours truly - combining my Labor Day with an extra vacation day, for a truly gloriously long break away from the office, to be spent largely on Planet Nexus.
 
In celebration of this event, I present another patriotic-themed breakfast!
 
Red, White and Blueberry Pancakes!
 
 
Now, you boys and girls get your grub on. I've gotta go pour the coffee:
 
 
and wake of the wife and kids:
 
 
because THEY gotta go to work and school today, while I'm sitting at home on my butt, playing video games!
 
GOOOOOOD MORNING, NEXUS!
 
(Oh and another shout-out to Evindra's own QuantamStateRadio.Com. They put on some great shows and i had a really good time last night being a groupie to DJ Malak and friends!)	
----
			No long weekend for me. I work both Sunday and Monday. Boo!

			You can't be serious Arathian! And good morning Tex have fun all day you deserve it man!

 Is that a kid or a tiny woman?

Heh. That's a little boy. He kind of looks like my son, who is about to be 14. My son who only last weekend asked if he could have a cup of coffee (well, it was really more like coffee-flavored sugar milk, but he doesn't know the difference.) 
----
			
Good morning!
 
Had baguettes with philadelphia spread for breakfast, and glass of milk.
 
 
Stayed up bit late last night doing rp, not remember much other than gathering data on what big peoples like about pole dancing.
 
Going to spend most of time adjusting house stuff in Nexus today. Many peoples coming to party and not like to disappoint, even if they no threat compared to the Zax.

@Kagura,
 
Too bad you can have me cater your party for ya. ;) hehe

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?I have a long weekend too...even though I have been on vacation for many weeks now! However, this is my -last- vacation weekend until I go back to work on Tuesday. I will have a very stable schedule up until the end of December, which is nice. I had an English muffin again this morning as well as hot cocoa. Might have been a cold night. It is 14 degress celsius outside today.In WildStar news, not much is happening. Being level 50 is as bland as ever. I have been doing dailies, mostly. I cannot bring myself to craft or do housing because I fear I might end up losing currency I might require in the next patch. No adventures or dungeons either ; all by my lonesome at the moment and pugging still sends shivers down my spine. I did snag a "Daredevil" epic for 1.5 platinum which is a sick deal for a BiS item.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do! ...is no longer accurate at level 50 if you love seeing big numbers of currency :(

Good Morning All...
Wiles was able to quest a little bit last night in Bio Dome 4.  Which every time i say Bio Dome i cant help but think of Pauly Shore, and thats just weird.  But he found a pretty lady apparition just hanging out.  You may know her as Drusera. She became Wiles' new BFF.  He even got an achievement for finding her out there.
Looking forward to the 2.5 days off that i have.  I forgot about my second job so monday night i still have to work, boooo. 
Happy Hunting on planet Nexus everyone.

*sigh*
 
Tex ... Tex ... Tex ... that is too easy. ;)
 
Red, White and Blue Breaky:
 
Ok folks thinking outside the box we are going to take blue corn chips ( or if you can get it blue corn flower ) and use that as a base for blue WAFFLES. Because well Waffles > pancakes. :P
 
Grind up your corn chips ( because you are basically going to find them a lot easier than blue corn flower ) and add to all purpose flour .. tich of backing soda,  WHIPPED egg whites ( that is the key to light waffles), add tbls of sugar and butter milk. --> The Blue.
 
No need for spice for this since we are doing a RWB challenge to Tex's "pancakes". :P
 
Now for something COMPLETELY different ... Tomato ( yes I said tomato) Jam.
 
Roma Tomatoes blanched to easily remove the skin ( basically boil for 1-2 mins then take out and "shock" in an ice bath ). Peal the tomatoes ( the skins will easily separate).
 
Now put your tomatoes in the blender or food processor and add brown sugar 1 tsp of vanilla, pinch of salt ( don't go over board just a pinch your blue corn chips are going to add the needed salt to the over all dish).  --> The red.
 
Now for the white.  Basically we are making a classic béchamel but we are making is sweet instead of savory:
 
Make a roux ... tbls of butter and tbls of flour.  Make a blond roux ( so only until the ingredients incorporate ).
Add Heavy Cream.  Pinch of salt, one vanilla bean "s c r a p e the vanilla pod" but toss the pod in ( and remove when done) and some freshly grated nutmeg.
Gentile boil until the sauce thickens ( until you can place a spoon in the mix and draw a line across the back).
 
Now for assembly.
 
Waffles .. with tomato jam and drizzle your vanilla sauce over the whole kit and caboodle.
 
Elevated RWB Breaky. ;)
 
Enjoy! :)

Morning,
 
New job posotion has me stressed. Ended up going to bed early last night (like real early) due to stress got nothing done in game and had a pint of Icecream... For breakfast I had a bag of Dinosaur Gummies, and Diet Mt. Dew.
 
 
I hope tonight I won't want to curl up into a ball to destress and can actual get some gaming done.

Remove the S C and D. There's your answer.
 
Not sure what kind of abusive thing I should do on the weekend. Maybe play WildStar non-stop?
----
			
Running around taking more pictures of Rocio.
 
I still think Esper animations are pretty dull compared to dynamic classes like Stalker or Warrior.
 
But I snapped this gem this morning. 
 	
----
			
Ahh, nothing like waking up to the pealing of tomatoes
::insert bell tower picture here, since I'm one of those IE guys::
(no offence to Kytar, as a cook of a little skill I do enjoy your recipes but all I could see was this image of ringing tomatoes in my head!)
 
Today I am at work for maybe 3 hours, then off to the Harley dealer for some new parts in anticipation of Wildwood and Ocean City Bike weeks - much needed vacation on the bike! Sadly that means no WildStar for 10 days but much riding, partying and debauchery.
 
Tonight I'll be on Grommet running laps in my housing training grounds, and tuning my DPS so I can begin to tackle some dungeons for attunement. Since I've intentionally bypassed every group content except PVP in both beta and live I'm looking forward to getting my chops back in line so I can start to put together some sort of group that will eventually hit 20 man content, and eventually hopefully 40s. I'm aware that 40s will be incredibly difficult, given that I'm not willing to raid 5 hours a night 4 nights a week like I did in the old days but I'm going to give it a try and see what sort of a raiding group I can create or become involved with.	
----
			
No worries Grom,
 
Hope you have tried a few.
 
Please feel free to give feed back if you have any adjustments.  I like to learn too. :)	
----
			Haha! Peeling tomatoes is easy. Edit: But reading is hard. I need more sleep.

I just realized that these topic reminded me of this lady's youtube video series.

 I think it was the eyes being stretched made him look more feminine. Also I'm kind of tired. I thought of a funny slinger name, or more like an arena name "To surge and project"
----
			
So my stomach issues are clearing, but still cloudy.  I feel better though.  I'm at work, about to dive into hopefully the last bit of planning I need to do for this Pennsylvania job before I go back on a longer term projects.
 
Last night, moved the chains on Seeger.  He's now in Grimvault.  I think I'm going to ride him to 50 before turning around and bringing Spenser along.  Also thinking of a guild Domside guild to drop Spenser in.  Unfortunately, his freelancer, behind-the-scenes motif doesn't jive well with the Skullkickers backstory, but I don't know any other guilds full of good RPers there.  Any suggestions from Evindra dommies?

			Someone needs to name a 'slinger "Serge"

Aw.. you should try it anyway.
 
Rocio "jives" with his current group on missions but not socially. He's like an outlier: mysterious, violent, and not well-liked.
 
He creates tension in the group and frequently gets in trouble with other members. A few of them are starting to come to him after a rough first impression...
 
It's great for spice. And gives Rocio a journey. But of course it may not be what you want for your character, abd that's ok. I just wanted to encourage you to join Skullkickers even if it's imperfect.

I think censorship is a sign of maturity.
 
 
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
 
If someone has to have someone else censor them then that person needs to go to their corner and write that phrase until they grow up.
 
The immaturity level on this forum is the reason the filter exists. All the work moderators have to do to keep immature posters from vandalizing the place

I disagree when it's to the point of PC crap.
 
There are plenty of things that are said that "the current anachronism of PC drama" determines to be "inappropriate" and yet allow the "redefinition" of age old terms to something "new" in the instance of political correctness.  Remember .. there WAS another "term" for "happiness" that is now a PC word. :P

Good morning everyone.
 
I'm not sure if it's an omen or not, but today is the first day since March where it has been dark at 6 am when the alarm went off.  Part of that's because it's really overcast right now, but I guess Winter Is Coming.  Too bad my puppy's not a Direwolf.
 
One more day of work.... one.... more.... day.... and then a whole nice long week of Wildstar and relaxation and sanity.  Tex may get a four-day weekend, but I scheduled vacation for tuesday-friday next week.  Do I win? :D
 
Sadly, it happened that way because next week was the only one in all of September that I didn't have some Big Important Meeting I had to be at.  Blargh.  No wonder executives call them sabbaticals.
 
Anyway, I sadly did not get to play any Wildstar last night, so I intend to make up for that this evening.  There will be crafting, and there will be some strain-killing, and very likely some silliness.  I might actually take Talaen to Farside, too.
 
Can't wait to play.  One... more... day!

I don't disagree that lingual shifts can be annoying.

Good Morning everyone.
 
It's Friday, and I have a story idea taking shape. I'm hoping it sticks to my brain. 
 
In Wildstar News, I leveled with Dott for a bit but didn't make a level. Then Rungo and Tekkren helped me kill Crystalback, a rare mom in Auroria. That was fun. :D Then I went to my house to do a bit of decorating, and while there, ArkQ (Delq,) visited a person with a large Cassian house so I could check out the inside. O.M.G. That place will be perfect for Holy Hand Grenade Hospital. So, now I have more incentive to reach level 36! But, being so tired as I was and also being Thursday, I logged out early so I could go watch The Quest. 
 
Although I have a long weekend, it's going to be really busy, busy. My aunt is in town and I have to do more on the big cleaning project. :( I'm starting to wish I had some of those elves from the fairy stories. Can I trade a saucer of milk or a handful of berries for magical middle of the night cleaning?

In recent Wildstar news, Lola sold a something on the Auction house for 9 Plat this morning.
 
I just ... I don't even ...
 
I kind of feel like I can quit now. That's more money that I'll ever spend. 
 	
----
			Or we could all be *cupcaking* humans and accept that concupiscence is something we all have to work against and help each other ... "love" each other rather than "MAKING MORE RULES" ... there is a basic "commandment" that does not need to be "expanded upon" and needs no further "laws".  It is common sense.  Just don't automatically assume the worst. :P

Also, I've decided that, since we'll be off Monday for labor day, I'm going to release a METAL MONDAY today and another on Tuesday when we get back.  Pulling up the songs for today's right now.

Hi forumites,
 
Just sipping Coffee at work (had tea earlier at home), and reading email.
 
In Wildstar, getting close to Elder Gem weekly cap, and looking forward to all the gold I'll make over the weekend. My second Slinger started questing in BioDome 3. It's amazing what experience and practice will do. I had one hell of a hard time there on my first Slinger, but my 2nd is doing fine. Dying from agrroing too much,. but killing things fine. I think I didn't even know about MOO first time through.
 
Cheers.

Good morning all my Wildstar peeps!
 
I'd like to paint a picture for you all. Just got off of work, cold beer in my hand and good smoke in my lungs. Ready to get into Nexus and give 'em what for! Log on in, start loading up my newest addition when suddenly...BAM, power outage. For about 3 hours or so most of the city has no power, so I ended up walking over to a friends' house for Magic until the power came back on. Unfortunately, by this time I was locked down with RL responsibilities to log in. 
 
Not tonight, however! Unless God himself smites me down, I WILL PLAY WILDSTAR TODAY, DAMNIT! *shakes fist angrily towards the heavens*

			Mornin' kids.  *grabs coffee*  Not much to put up on the Wildstar front.  Most I got is a discussion with my MMO friends on why no one is playing Wildstar.  Did some dailies.  Those aren't going to hold me long... 40 more gems to go!  Then the Ferris Wheel will fly! ..or.. well.. you know.. rotate.

Oatmeal with cinnamon and apples for breakfast this morning. No coffee (yet...). This is my second attempt at this post, as the first one was rudely interrupted by a scheduled power outage I totally forgot about until.. well, the power went out. Thankfully, power is restored, and I can go on to show off my breakfast. And yes, i realize Oatmeal is one of the least appetizing things to photograph, but I promise, it was delicious.
 
In WS last night, I continued the oh-so-boring farming I am resorting to since running out of cash a couple of days ago (alts are dangerous and expensive... and i have 6). I also spent a majority of the cash I farmed during the afternoon last night working on my technologist. She is now a journeyman, tho! So today, back to the farming. I should hit EG cap today too, so tomorrows cash haul should be much more lucrative.

Out of curiosity, have you found a farming spot that's more lucrative than gathering circles? :huh: If so, I may have to pick your brain a bit.

*sigh* Since when does Aurin choose to ignore a Chua picking a fight? ;)
 
Well, with a low-G space house you'd have fewer problems with getting around, I guess.
 
The Lopp certainly manage to construct impressive ramps in Wilderrun. They even have ramps on branches that are already ramps. Maybe you need to hire a Lopp contractor for Arborian Gardens.

Oh, OK. I was just curious, because I haven't found anywhere that was especially good for traditional mindless slaughter-style farming. Although to compare with a good gathering circle, it'd have to be better than about 1 plat per hour, so I haven't spent a whole lot of time looking.

Chua push you off because they want to test your reflexes and find out what happens when you land. They will probably also experiment on your splatters corpse. Science!

So.. I tried to pull my buddies into Wildstar.. and that went over as well as handing paint balloons to kindergartners and asking them NOT to make a mess.  Consensus was.. "If I wanted to play Vanilla WoW, I'd go back to EQ2." or.. "I still play EQ2." or "Wildstar?  Oh.  No.  I'm good with MMOs right now.  If I get the itch, I'll hit up WoW."  *hrmphs*  Bastards.

"If I wanted to play Vanilla WoW, I'd go back to EQ2." or.. "I still play EQ2." or "Wildstar?  Oh.  No.  I'm good with MMOs right now.  If I get the itch, I'll hit up WoW."  *hrmphs*  Bastards.

My best bet? They aim for Holiday 2014. Or... maybe just after. That gives them just over 90 days for planning, development and marketing.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Plus hopefully the Protostar Winter Extravaganza.... I want a holiday event please!
----
			
I'm hoping they've at least made an announcement as to their intended fixes for most of the major issues before the end of September, with the first round of implementations happening no later than early October. That would give them a little time to fix new patch-related bugs before the Halloween event.
 
Assuming the holiday events are handled well, they're often very good at endearing players to a game. So, if Carbine can get some of the more major things straightened out between now and Halloween, and then maybe do a couple trial weekends during the various holiday celebrations, I think that would go a long way for the health of the game.

Morning,
 
New job posotion has me stressed. Ended up going to bed early last night (like real early) due to stress got nothing done in game and had a pint of Icecream... For breakfast I had a bag of Dinosaur Gummies, and Diet Mt. Dew.
 
 
I hope tonight I won't want to curl up into a ball to destress and can actual get some gaming done.

{| class="blockquote"
It depends on how you dissent.  If you disagree with the opinion, you're usually fine.  If you call out an actual player, they clean up whole threads of that.  That's just how it goes.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
 It's incredibly cowardly. I didn't flame anyone either. I put up a headdesk image because someone asked why they didn't get extra stuff for a subscription.  I didn't quote anyone either.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Don't call the mods out for "cowardice", they don't usually delete things that aren't getting reported.  Someone reported you.  If it's just a headdesk meme thing, I don't know why unless you offended the OP and they flagged it.
----
			
Generally, you just want to avoid being hostile and/or, like Vic said, avoid pointing fingers.
 
State your opinion as fairly and as constructively as you can, and the mods won't touch it.

{| class="blockquote"
There's following orders, and then there's condescension.  You can follow orders, not like it, and most times, the person giving the orders will understand you don't like it, and just accept that.  Then, you can follow orders, give snarky remarks like a headdesk meme (I'm guilty of it too. lol), and then they run your legs off for a 10 mile hump in the middle of august with full ruck and boot.  If they only deleted your head desk meme, they were probably trying to head off a "WTF" troll argue moment.  I've had it happened to me.  I've accepted it every time because I probably was looking to be a bit of a jerk rather than constructive feedback. lol

{| class="blockquote"
The problem I see with this, if you don't tell an idiot he's an idiot how is he ever going to know it? He clearly doesn't know it without you telling him it. Then again idiots are usually idiots because they can't learn properly and are habitually in denial about everything. Then again I have as far as I can determined been unable in decades to educate one idiot, Though honestly with that level of stupidity it may well have been a troll.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't think the moderators of the forums are that ideological about it.  Their job is essentially to keep the forums in some semblance of order.  Whether they think it's stupid or not is completely irrelevant to their job.  They are in the business of keeping people from flaming each other.  Flame the game all the players want, sure, but once people are attacking each other, even if it's not that serious, and they have to err on the side of caution.  That's their job.

{| class="blockquote"
The only way I've ever learned to educate an idiot is to make him run till he throws up, do push ups till he can't pick up a fork and do sit ups until it hurts to sit in a chair.  After that, they typically get the idea.  Internet arguments?  Bah.  They usually just think you're the idiot trying to call them an idiot.  ...doesn't mean it's not fun to try.. but we DO make mods lives a little harder when we do. lol

It was funny when Dott got turned into an Aurin for Riot in the Void, proving that Aurin and Chua are really two sides of the same coin. And, it was a Male Aurin, proving that Chua are all boys after all, which fits all the other clues, despite the "neutral" gender idea. But I don't care. Dott and Reezza are still neutral to me, just more feminine. And they are fabulous and I loves them.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Mechari get turned into mordesh, which I thought was neat. You should not think of chua as being boys, it's just that the caretaker can't tell Chua gender. You would think that being pink would be a bit of a hint, but I guess not all pink chua are girls either.

Xila is a 50 stalker and its a very fun class. If Chua can ever be stalkers I'll be happy. Until then, medic feels really similar to me, although maybe i don't hit as hard, and plus I can heal myself. All I need is stealth and I'll be unstoppable!

I didn't try any 5 man quests on Xila. I still haven't done the nursery in Blighthaven and I've been 50 for 2 months, because it's a 5 person quest. 
 
As for medic, Dott can kill primes as long as I really pay attention and do my best, at level 20. I am not able to with Reezza.

Hopped on the PTR to test the Esper out. Some of the 5+ man group quest mobs in The Defile slam non-tank for 14k damage so those are out of the question but I managed to take out named primes and other 5+ man quest mobs. Espers are solid soloer. I suddenly feel like I rolled the wrong class again. It is such an everlasting struggle.
...and Mechari cannot be Esper. Sad, sad day.
