Well, I'm starting to feel a little better now.  Best thing to have is a little orange juice, but I suppose I should still serve some coffee.
 
 
So after spending most of this week barely functional, sometimes barely breathing, and after last night where I coughed up something so hard it blinked when I spat it into the sink, I'm finally feeling a little better.  I still called off work; walking outside immediately tightens my bronchials.  Thus I'll be back to work again on Monday.  Otherwise, it's just the wife and I taking care of each other, since we can't really go anywhere or do anything.  You might as well have ebola when you have a flu-vaccine resistant strain of flu.
 
So luckily, I've had a lot of Wildstar going on.  The wife and I are just about finished in Whitevale, with only a scattered few tasks we missed remaining.  We even got a couple of the guildies down to drop Metal Maw!  The Blazing Saddles are awesome like that! :D  We've been on a bit of a world boss killing spree lately.
 
My wife had to get off after a while to go lay down.  Her flu's getting worse.  After I got her bundled up in bed, I managed to run an alt to catch up to my brother, who's on a trial account right now.  The QOL improvements to the introductory leveling processes are working great!  That rented equivar costs 5 silver and is worth its weight in gold when you have a mount everywhere else.
 
I'm about to hop online.  We may have to brave the outside world today to get supplies.  We are almost out of orange juice and cream soda.  Until then, see you on Nexus!

			Good morning. Really glad its finally friday. Just started playing WildStar again after beating Dragon Age Inquisition and realizing my guild is gone :'( . Also Warhound looks like Warbringer on it's last month of life. Is everyone running to entity?

That's disgusting! Ewwww!
 
There are so many people out sick among the sanitary workers in my city that they've suspended Yard Waste pick up to focus all those people to fill in the spots left by the absent.
 
I'm crunching lots of fruits and veggies in an effort to stave off any other random infections.
 
In game, Rocio's Matria was attacked and nearly killed by Brysh Galeweave. In an effort to save her, The spectral clone of the Matria, affectionately named "Kuki" by Rocio, came near to sacrificing her own life.  Infuriated, Rocio killed Brysh even though his tribe was wiliing to let him go, and dragged his body off for later reanimation experiments. After literally washing his hands of the affair, he helped recover a new recruit to the Fringe Rangers who was suffering from Dominion tampering.
 
In the middle of it, my Gecko decided he couldn't shed properly on his own, so while that scene was still ongoing I told my RPers that I would have to AFK for a while (To scub a lizard with a Qtip) and while I was gone, Rocio was there, still being a smart aleck.  When I came back they had indeed taken him under their control, and in a tongue in cheek way said that Rocio was being a total smart aleck while doing his actions.

If Rocio wasn't getting in trouble somehow I'd have to question if it was the real Rocio ;)
 
Vic, glad you're feeling better!  Hopefully your wife starts feeling better soon, too.
 
I haven't done a lot in Wildstar this week or at least not as much as I thought I would have.  Mostly I have been helping guildies work on mastering the Ruins of Kel Voreth (Veteran).  Everyone is definitely improving although the runs still bog down at Drokk for a little bit.  But eventually....
 
Today we're gonna grab alts and newer folks and go run some normal mode dungeons.  Tomorrow there's a semi-IC pub crawl happening, and then Sunday.....oh, Sunday.  On Sunday we're running episode 2 of Fallen to Darkness and *then* we're doing our first ever guild run of Vet Skullcano.  A good way to end the holiday weeks :)
 
Apart from that not a huge amount going on.  We've got the judges prepped and ready for Lifestyles of Nexus II to wrap up (although I still have to get the prize money together this coming week) and then probably the week after that, we'll start brainstorming contest ideas for ThaydFest II and begin prize collection for that event.

Was in a raid in Blighthaven this morning for SW and there were those 2 players that had some addon spamming stuff like :
 
"rare detected : this
rare detected : that
rare detected : this other"
 
Lines after lines after lines...
 
Maybe I was in a bad mood but all I wanted to write in raid chat was :
 
"idiot detected : <insert name here>"	
----
			
It's an addon. 
 
The spam that annoys me is during the tree event. "Drusera's tree is under attack!" Like twenty times every phase.

I killed Gargantua (I think that's what he was called...) on my warrior alt! Which amuses me, as it's not something I've managed yet on my main. Was just derping around finishing the quests in the Defile that I could manage solo and saw someone in zone chat calling people for a group. :3 Ended up killing it with 9 people. I did NOT expect to see loot drops, so that was a pleasant surprise! Didn't win the roll on the heavy gloves, but ah well. Was still cool to get that quest done. Afterwards, I tried to sneak around the 5 man area to get a few of those quests done, but I gave up after having to flee for my life three or four times. xD
 
Might try again to day. Or go and unlock the Crimson Badlands and whatever else dailies...

Hello Everyone :)
 
I had a great time in WildStar the past 2 days. Got all my crafting caught up with making all kinds of stuff for Parth's house (architect). I also made some things for my house and started on the outside. Got my deck done, including a hot tub. My swing is complete and I am starting construction on my tree house. I am using the 2x4s for the walls, so this will take a while to build.
 
With the help of Vic, I was able to finally beat The Boxing Ring and get my kitchen sink :wub: :wub:  Thank you Vic!!
 
I joined the raid with Vic and the rest of the Blazing Saddles for Metal Maw. That was the first time I have done that fight, so it was a learning experience. I learned I need to get my rotation and spells down for raiding. I was behind on the dps on my SS (level 50) and that did not sit well with me :angry:
 
Looking forward to logging in tonight to get more work done on my tree house. After I do my crafting dailies and maybe regular dailies. Need to work on getting my key, so I can move forward with vet dungeons. We will see how I feel about dailies once I am home B)
 
I hope you all have a great day and even better weekend!!

Morning, Coffee folks! Breakfast today was boring toast and coffee, but  you can't be fancy every day, I guess.
 
Yesterday's Wildstar adventures included doing all my dailies, grabbing a Gargantua kill, doing Lightspire event (don't always have time for this one!), and lots and lots of crafting. I also joined a few gathering circles, so hopefully my incoming resources can keep up with my usage, which is alot lol!
 
Around here, things are going well. We've all managed to avoid any major sickness for a while now, which is nice since I was sick for almost 2 months straight with some days better and some days way way worse. Glad to hear you're on the mend, Vic, and hope the wife hits her turning point today!

Still in the "Where the heck am I?" phase of after holiday jetlag. Went from the East coast of the U.S. to France for a week, and then from there to the West coast of the U.S. for the next batch of relatives.....At least I know where my cookies are. 
 
Unsurprisingly my inability to figure out what I am supposed to be doing, also translates to wildstar at the moment.
Managed to dodge the flu, had a fever for one day, but nothing else. Must be a perk of my 
(1-4) Mordesh?
(5-8) Mechari?
Immune system.
