Alright...

We've been doing movie-nights every-other week. We've got one next week on the 6th, and another on Nov 20th.

There was some talk of catering an event, and actually having foodstuffs served. I'm willing to get the food and do the cooking, but I need to plan for it. I want to request off work Sunday and Monday. (The day before to do all the work, and the day-of so I have time to clean up.)

So giving some notice for work, that would be the 20th. I'm going to guess that this is still too early in the week to clash with any Thanksgiving travel plans, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

We've been holding on to Time Bandits and Baron Munchausen for a double feature, so I'd like to do those. (Which means we'll need something for next week.)

Who all is interested?
Who all would be willing to throw down a few bucks to help cover the cost?
Who all would be able to make it? (Yeah, Dustin... lookin' at you here.)

Farva - if you still check the blog, you're of course invited as well. Give me a call sometime if you read this (late evening is fine) otherwise I'll give you a ring in a few days.

Dustin where are you at?

Hey Scott you need to publish your post if you want people to see it. Otherwise they will only see the post if they are in here editing or posting themselves. Again use the Publish post button, not the save as draft.

So everyone have big weekend plans?

Black and white is fine.

Bubbles... if you can't find anything with goblin traps in it, then make some up yourself.

Monster cock and line dancing zombies. Does it really get any better than that?

Dustin--Dude if you really aren't into movie night let us know and we will do something else.

Zub Zub bitches.... later

Awesome...

Now I just need to get a color printer.


(Will black-and-white work?)

Larva-

Coolies, print some of those off for me and yer set!

The only thing I can find is YuGiOh cards

Best Goblin name ever.... Bob Peterson! Fuck yeah!

ps: Dustin we started a new campagin :)

All--My lovely wife is going to meet the gas man so I'll be at Jeremys around 5:30ish for the movies. I'll bring a couple of horror films from my collection (sorry Bubbles no shecock). I know for sure that I'm bringing Feast, it is a riot. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

It's fixed yo :)

Pics? Easy enough:


http://www.baglecon.com/images/goblins/goblin.html

Well, no one seemed opposed to the idea of doing homework for extra XP, so I guess I'll give out some assignments...

Larva... not sure why your name is Larva, but apparently here it is...
your homework assignment this week is to find a picture of a sexy goblin chick... or several pictures of them if you can. Also neat pictures of goblins/goblin lairs will get bonus points.

John... Your assignment if you choose to accept it is to find me lists of good goblin names. For bonus points find me some common Goblin Slang.

Bubbles... Your assignment is to find me descriptions andor pictures of Goblin traps and equipment. For bonus points you will do the truffle shuffle for me during game whenever I really need to express the hardship of goblin life.

Dustin... You get more homework than the others to try to catch you up with them. Your first assignment is to make a character, write up a background for them, and work on a funny accent you are going to speak with when you play him. Your second assignment is to find a list of good goblin tribe and orc tribe names and standards. For bonus points, show up on time.

Thats about it.
Lemme know if there are any questions or problems with the assignments I have given you.
Good Luck.

Penny-Arcade rocks

Huh that is actually a pretty good idea. Let me run it past wifeypoo. (she owes me big time!). I'll keep you guys in the loop.

John- We could always just all come to your house. Y'know... so you've got all the doors covered incase the gas guy tries to sneak in the back, or something. all helpful-like. We just happen to watch movies while we wait... ;)

Scott- I'll see what I can find.

I just wanted to warn you guys that I may have a problem attending this Monday, which would be our film night. I have an appointment with the gas company, so god knows when they will show up. Nothing set in stone right now, but I will let you guys know when I have something for sure. Later.

Hey guys,

Would anyone be interested in doing projects for the Goblin Campaign that would earn you all extra XP?

If you are I will come up with a few things and post them here. If you do them and bring them when we play the game you will get some extra XP for it.

Ideas I'm having are finding good goblin related articles/pictures and printing them off for me, finding a good mini for your character, finding cheap miniature props to give me for the game, that sorta stuff.

I'll come up with a few for the next session if you want and may even give enough so that you can get to level 2 at the beginning of the next game session.

Let me know what ya think.

-Scott

Rob Zombie is going to be hosting a show on TCM, about cult horror movies.

That video has got to be stupidest thing that I have ever seen. ::thinks about movie collection:: Okay not really but top 20 at least :)

I don't know what Cartman having diareha all over his mom is funny. But GOD DAMMIT it is funny!

Bubbles--Dustin wants us to go thru his dungeon. I say what the hell I could use the extra loot :P

Dustin suggested going out and getting food last night- so if any of you actually read this before coming over, come hungry.

Farva...What the fuck are you talking about?

my hands r bananas has b
to be the funist thing in the wold i love dum people

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO10s_HK6d0

Keep 'ze monkeys away from my hands!

Dusty is always determined to make us slog through his entire dungeons. Especially the ones he spends weeks designing, laying out each meticulous trap and encounter, waiting for the exact moment to ambu---

-- oh, wait... we can just show up in this guy's living room? Sweet.

BTW - I love these "How it should have ended..." parodies. He's got a new one up for the Superman movie.

http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/Divx%20links/Superman.html

(I'm batman.)

I tihnk Dusty is determined to make us go through the entire thing.

I think we should bypass all the little demony guys in Dusty's game. How about we shapeshift and polymorph and stuff into evil nasty things and just walk through up to where Feng Shui or whatever his name is and kick him in the head till he's dead.

Or we could see if scrying and teleporting work once you are /inside/ the actual castle.

Or we could just burrow through the different parts of the place in different forms until we find the big bad.

What do ya think?

Any other ideas.

Grats. Well we are going to look pretty cool riding around together :)

PUPPY!

Two of my favorite things together.

:)

It is in fact Dustin's game tonight. Hopefully he shows up :P

Jeremy -- I hit level 50 and ground 1/2 way to 51. I'm so close to equipping my Krol blade I can taste it! And yes Scott this is WOW talk :)

Bubbles -- You guys moved?

Dustin -- You coming tonight? I hope so ye bastage!

Isnt it Dustin's game?


Also wouldnt the Wild enchant work too?

Tatoos were in the Eldrich books, I think. I can see if I can dig up my PDFs when I get home.

Bah... it is Monday again. I have to get the basement somewhat in order... Were we gaming?

Scott-- As I see it, there are a few ways to get around the items losing effectiveness when polymorphed or wildshaped. One is to use an unsloted item, but that triples the book price for an item, and you still have to worry about absorption. I guess you could swallow it or something, as long as the item is on/in you, you will have the items effect. There are also a lot of magic tattoos that can be placed on the body that would change to fit your new form, keeping the effect going. Unfortunately, I don't have any books/pdf's with tattoos in them, so I don't know too much about them. And lastly I found a magic item that allows use of other magic items while shapechanged. It is called wilding Clasp, and it is out of Oriental adventures. Basically, it is a 3 inch long gold chain, it gets attached to an item that either fits a vest slot, and/or an amulet slot. It costs 4,ooo gp.

If its like WildShape, I'm pretty sure your abilities change.

Sure... just ignore my questions and talk about yer little WoW game.

Jeremy--Most companies don't have tech people do their interviews for them. So any old fucktard that can snow people has a shot at getting a job. We actually interview all of our techs, so we get to weed out all of those morons. It is fun to watch them squirm when they figure out we know more than them. That is my theory anyways.

It is an hour before I have to go to work, and I have a fucking migrane.

Grandma's PC, that I just built two weeks ago, is already acting up. Two weeks with XP, and she managed to do something that broke the damned boot.ini or the HAL. I just spent a half-hour on the phone attempting to explain to a completly tech illiterate old-person how to change the boot order in CMOS I couldn't see so I could get it to boot to the CD. And that was supposed to be the easy part- I didn't even get to try to explain to her command-line options in the recovery console.

Then I spent another 20 minutes trying to talk down the damage done by the dipshit who she had look at her computer. She had their local "computer guy" poke at it. He works as a tech for one of the companies down there, but he occasionally helps the local neighborhood old people down in that retirement golf-course she lives on.

He knows nothing. My Mom can diagnose hardwre problems more efficiently than this douchebag.

The first thing he told her was that XP couldn't even run on the computer, because it "...only had 64 Meg of memory." The jackass, who didn't even know how to get into CMOS, was reading the VIDEO POST. He apparently didn't notice that this PC was using NVidia brand memory!

Now the first thing that came to mind was "is he just trying to sell her something?" All commercial, Best Buy level techs lie their ass off in order to make a sale. (Commissions do that.) So I probed further. I fully believe he's just good, old fasioned, honestly stupid.

He's not the first person to do this to me, either. When we were building machines for AVNet... a multi-Billion dollar a year company, with over 100,000 clients.... they called us in a panic because we'd supposedly borked up a few hundred clients. One of their HIGHLY PAID TRAVELING PROFESSIONALS, who was flown to Canada to set up a truck full of PCs sent to one of the larger customers, had blown a gasket because the machines weren't configured properly. The 512M machines all had "...only 64 Megs...!" ...of video RAM.



What the fuck am I missing? Seriously? John, you've worked in the industry long enough... I need advice. What lies am I missing on my resumes? How do these overpaid shittards keep getting jobs, while I work at a goddamned hotel? How?

Jeremy you are a freakin' genius. I HAVE A PUPPY!

My work schedule is fuck up right now I will post when it's better.

That was quick...

John, that WoW patch I was telling you about, with the riding changes? Went in today.

I got boned out of another 80g or so as it went in before I hit 40... but it looks like I'm gonna' have a riding puppy. Which is still totally worth it. You get a chance to try yours out?

Movie nights are fine, I just couldnt make it this week because we moved and what not.

Farve--So homey when are you coming back to Wootown for a Monday night. Or better yet what is your work schedule? Jeremy, Dustin and I might want to do a road trip to Columbus. We could check out casa de Farve.

Gromero - Horde Warrior supreme - Elune

Dustin and Bubbles--So I have an honest question here for you guys. Not trying to be "bitchy". Do you guys not want to do movie nights? The last couple really haven't gone off that well (partly my fault I know). If you guys don't want to do them that is fine with me. We can play board games or something. Just wanted to put it out there for you guys to think about.

Scott--Polymorphing is very cool, but has been nerfed to hell. You will want to check the web resources that Jeremy uses to see how WOTC has modified the rules. They are still cool, just not as broken as they used to me. Also whenever I played a character that could polymorph I kept a few of his common forms on me. Trying to do polymorph on the fly is way too time consuming.

Later Bitches :P

PCI... 4... Gag.... computer? *twitch*





Jarusso - Horde Priest - Elune

We still need your character names, too.

so I quit that dum ass job to day {so happy}and build a new pci 4 gag allinwounder computer it's so nice to have money .
I cant move no jobs for a dum white boy ther . so in my life I have a new job as frontend magr. for oue's 10.50 hr. . I left my slut of a girl friend ....!!! I live in a 3th floor walk up studio aprt. i lost my friends list so post our wow toons names plz.

Movie night double feature

Bwaahaa. I love being a priest. I was grinding NW of Southshore, when some random Paladin decided to throw down a duel flag. I Mind Controlled him and ran him into the middle of a bunch of Elite ogres, who then beat him stupid. :)

***********

I don't remember exactly how Jeremy's druid did it. It was either a feat, or some specialty granted by his prestige class that allowed him to keep his items as he changed forms. Plus the use of the Wild enchant on his armor.

I'm not sure how a Mage could pull off the same. Aside from putting your items down, polymorphing, then picking them up again. You mentioned using one of the higher-level Poly spells with a much higher duration, so that could be an option for you, couldn't it?

Got another question...

When you Shapechange using the Shapechange spell, do you modify your own stats using the modifiers of whatever you turn into... or do you just become a template version of what you turn into?

The only way I know of to keep an item while transformed is a chain in the 3.0 Druid,Barbarian,Ranger splat book I think its Masters of the WIld or some shit like that.

Hey all,

Just had some questions about a new character for the high level game of doooooom.

First, Jeremy mentioned a way that people using Polymorph or the Shapechange spell could still keep the bonuses and powers of the equipment that's on them. Anybody know what feats or powers are required for that?

Would a set of Armor with the Wild power work for a mage using Shapechange?

Also are we allowed to choose items/classes from the Magic of Faerun book?

I guess that's it for now.

Da na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na BAGMAN!

You know sometimes I feel bad for you guys that aren't old enough to have enjoyed the 80's goodness. Like WASP singing the title song for Ghoulies 2!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymGToGuG-Rg


Booyeah!

Check this out it is funnier than shit.

http://skoften.net/comments.php?id=3534_0_1_0

I'm bagman baby!!!

Thats going ot be...intresting, haha. How the fuck is that going to work?

" ZOMG ZOMBIES ON THE PLANE!!!....HIDE IN THE TOILET!"

Yes it is shooting now :)

Holy Shit! Is that going to be a real movie?

All I have to say is.....

I AM SO SICK OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING ZOMBIES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE :)

http://www.imageworksentertainment.com/moves/PLANE_DEAD_512K.wmv

Sure...

Jeremy and Dustin--So we are meeting at Jeremy's at 10:30 am right?

IGNORE ME!

George Lucas can suck my nuts. That is all

One of two things is going to happen-

Dustin is going to snap, and in a fit of DM rage will throw a creature at us out of the Epic Handbook that is designed to level entire cities.

-or-

Dustin is going to snap, and in a fit of DM rage will throw a creature at us out of the Epic Handbook that is designed to level entire cities. Which due to a lucky crit, and a botched saving throw we will defeat in three rounds of combat. Four rounds into the combat, Dustin will scream "Goddamnit, fuck all of you!" On the fifth round, the campaign officially ends as Dustin is in his car driving off.

Either way, this will only end in tears. :)



Shatzer - The new Star Wars DVDs will have the original theatrical cut. No silly CG editing of characters, the original Ewok song, and Han shoots first. However, it is being released as "Bonus Material" on a second disk, with that 2004 remaster being the actual title release. So, I don't know if that counts or not...

You asked for it.
Twinking in progress..

Bubbles--Yep shecock... you missed out beyatch.

Scott--Yeah twink away holmes.

Jeremy--Account is active again. Have fun :)

Scott - Twink away. Dustin runs that high-level game, and we've been doing everything in our power to make him cry. (Like one-shot-killing his bosses, and safely disposing of major plot hooks inside portable holes.)

As for the cohorts and familiars, thusfar they have pretty much been under our control, with the DM making the occasional commentary when appropriate. As long as we don't do anything out-of-character or beyond the ability of the animals or the spell (like using befriended animals meaty shields) he's been pretty easy-going about it all.


Farva - She kicked you out already? Heh. =( When are you going to be back this weekend? If you make it back by Friday Evening sometime (at any hour) and feel like running around again right away give me a call. We were all planning a day-trip for Saturday.

Got a question.

How much control do we have over our Familiars and Animal companions and Cohorts and such?
(That was a lotta ands)
Are they total NPCs played by the DM or are they basically played by us?

Just wondered.

This is real neat Xbox360 Laptop

...She-cock? God Damn.

Oh anyway since Jibbs doesnt count as my animal companion anymore, I get to pick a new one not entirely sure what. I'm gonna pick but its gonna be neat.

Farva - Yeah dude screw Columbus move back to Wooster.

Holy Shit a post from Farve and Scott........ Hell just froze over :)

Farve--So move back to Wooster!

Scott--Bloogers sucks somtimes. I just hope that your account works from here on out.

Bubbles--Hope you feel better. You missed some mighty fine shecock last night :P

Later dudes.

YAY!!! I got my blog back!!

Kinda weird that it just went away for a while.

Anyway, I'm working on my character for the uber-powerful game that's gonna be on Mondays now.

I'm making them from the Forgotten Realms Unapproachable East book... hope that's not a problem. I somehow thought we were in the Forgotten Realms East instead of the other one. Didn't know you guys plane shifted. If it's a problem I can always make a new character, but it would probably work ok anyway since I'm making a Star Elf, which are planar travellers anyway.

Would it be bad if I twinked my character out a bit? Never made this high level a character before and, well, it just seems like a Twinky occasion.

sorry guy my boss when mantel for real . his wife left him and he is takeing it hard i've been
running the store by my alone so i've been besy alot . my girl kick me out and so im liveing at my sis till i get a place dum girls ack" lol . my mom want me to come down this week end so like call me we will go out to eat or some thing .i miss wooster:<

Jeremy--I hadn't intended for it to expire. I'll reactivate it :)

All--Wifeypoo backed out of having anyone over. Pissed me off big time. I can come tongiht if you guys still want to do something. I have my copy of zombies the boardgame, or could bring the films to Jeremys place if you guys still want to watch. Advice to all you guys. NEVER GET MARRIED!

Ah well. So is Monday totally canceled, or just no movies?

I still have Battlecry III sitting on my desk at home. I haven't installed it yet...



John, your Warcraft account is expired, and that makes me sad. (Not sad that you haven't been playing recently- Sad because I have 350g worth of lootz in Trelan's mailbox waiting to be transfered Hordeside. ^_^; )

Ahhh poo, that sucks. On a side note, I just got a working copy of warlords battelcry 3, any1 want to get a copy?

Damn, allright.

Sorry guys I have to cancel Monday night. Please post if you see this. Thanks.

We could do Sleepaway camp and Reanimator.

We got snakes on the Starship!

I think you should go with Sleepaway Camp, I looked it up on IMDB and a few of the comments said its a good movie to watch on a movie night with a few people.

Okay so we are all in agreement the one half of our Monday double feature is Reanimator. Here are a few other possibilities.

Devil Rejects - Very cool Rob Zombie film. One of my favorite films of the past year.

Final Destination 3 - I really thought that I was going to hate this film, but damn if the kill scenes were't way cool.

Creep - Little independant British film that I discovered in the Blockbuster bargain bin ($4 woot!).

Sleepaway Camp - Best ending in any slasher film ever!

Let me know what you guys think.

ps: I was thinking of doing a Halloween "party" this year. It would have a zombie theme (of course). Watch a few choice zombie films, play some All Flesh....... what do you guys think?

Farve--If you are still reading the blog please respond. I'm having a movie shinding at my house on Monday September 11. It starts at 5:30 and I would love for you to come. Please let me know if you can attend.

Mummy rot FTL :(

Loots of from me corpse.

Morgash the Orc Slayer +4 weapon I think it turns into what ever weapon the wielder wants. Orc Bane.

Stone Helm turns into +3 Full Plate

Golem Bane Amulet

58 PP.

Donkey with 3 Barrels of Ale and 2 wine skins.

Going insane? Bubs you were already there dude :P

Hell yeah man, its been like 3 weeks since we've played, I'm going insane.

Woot you guys ready to actually game tonight?

I'm free on both Saturday and Sunday. We could do lunch and a movie :)

We need to do something this weekend.

What is everyone doing on Friday?


Dustin - Have you got a replacement video cable on order yet? I will be needing that 10-footer back soon.

I can't really promise at this point that I can make it. I suppose that means that most likely we aren't gaming tonight. Scott will be at the next game and I will be ready. So I suppose we should call it for tonight. Not really my call though :(

So..is there a game today?

Hey guys Molly (one of my dogs) is really sick. I have to take her to the vet right after work. So if I can make it at all (if she is okay) I'll be late. Just an FYI.

I dunno. I still don't have the basement ready for watching movies.... so I guess we just wait for Dustin and hope he's got something.

John - I ended up using a program called "Q." (An OSX port of a QEmu with a nice GUI.) After a bit of reading, I've actually got a stable install of 98 on the laptop now. It only runs in a window, but it runs.

Kinda' cool... except now I don't know what to do with it. I highly doubt I'm going to get an emulated copy of Windows 98 to work using an Apple wireless card.

Hmm no clue.

Saw Clerks II today and that movie is fucking hilarious, so fucking funny.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.....

Sunday morning at 8:30 am h. h. gregg delivered my 52 inch television. THESE ZOMBIES ARE FUCKING HUGE!!!!!!!

:)

All--So any idea what we are going to do on Monday? We have three players and Dustin to run his game (if he shows :p). Just wondering.

Jeremy--Virtual PC works fine on an old school processor. Anything above windows 98 tends to run like shit. I wouldn't want to try to game thru it either. But for most other programs it works fine.

Hey John,

I know I've probably asked this before, but what experience (if any) do you have with Windows emulation on a Mac?

I think this laptop has enough ass to handle a Windows 98 Emulation, so I've been poking around with VirtualPC and the like.

If you had any suggestions on programs? Can it even be done without an Intel Core processor?

Dutch I think. (Netherlands?)

Are those guys like, German rappers?

Hey... it is Monday again.

What's goin' on?

Allright well it seems someone has figured out/found the password to the account I was playing on and changed it. My friend is gonna have the person he got it from call today. Not a real big lose, I was getting tired of grinding and what now anyway, haha.
