Dustin is sick. Farva wasn't feeling well.
Now El Juan is down for the count?




(Just throwin' that out there.)

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the basement. Hiding.

Okay that is kind of funny because I've been sick to my stomach all day and missed work. I think that the game tonight is canceled then. I'll see Jeremy and Farve on Thursday for turkey day. Later

Hey every0ne, I'm Sick as hell and wont be able to run my game tonight. If john feels up to it, he can run his game. I doubt that ill be doing much more than sleeping when I get off of work.

The only people that have confirmed are:

You
Farve
Jennfier and myself
My Parents.

Farve that means you have to be on your best behavior.

John,

Jen said that the turkey and the stuffing was taken care of. I was thinking of picking up a ham to go with it, and a full cookie sheet of stuffed mushrooms.

I think I'll do a stuffed acorn squash, too. Those are always good. How many people are attending this dinner? I'll need to know how many to buy... (1/2 squash each.)

Best commercial ever!

I think that the time has come to determine who is bringing what to the big Thanksgiving blowout at casa de shatz. So what are you guys planning on brining? Please be aware that I'm very hungry :)

All - Hey guys I need to call off tonights game. Between getting the house ready for Thanksgiving and Jennifer not feeling well I need to take care of business at home. So I'll catch all of you guys next week.

So then if I manage to score a copy for review you guys want to watch it with me? :)

That has to be the best trailer that I've seen in a long time.

That looks fucking awesome!

http://blackdevildoll.com/trailers.html

Warning this trailer isn't work safe.

That could be truly epic amounts of awesome there.

Um yeah I think I'll be needing to see this one.

Farva,

This is Longcat.



Longcat is awsome.



Longcat is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

John,

Jason's blog uses an open-source program called WordPress. I should be able to run it without any issues on Baglecon.

I'll be setting up blog.baglecon.com (probably tonight or tomorrow) to try it out.

Dustin- What no amusing picture from the internets? How can youse post without a amusing picture from the internets?

umm... I forgot to give you guys xps for the last 3 sessions of the epic game, which we are playing tonight. So everyone gets 31,285 xp.

So are we still playing tonight?

Pharva's lying in a pool of blood in the bath tub.

And I'm not gonna be able to make it this Sunday.

So how are the new roomies doing? Have Farve and Dustin killed each other yet? :)

Sorry about that guys. I did leave a message on Jeremy's cell phone (or at least I thought that I did) on Monday that I was going to miss the game. Jennifer hurt her back worse than ever on Sunday so I've been spending most of this week taking care of her between running into work for an hour here an there. I've not even been near a computer until tonight. Luckily Jennifer is finally doing better and I should be back to a normal schedule soon. I should be at the game on Monday.

Dustin - Just in case you were wondering I will be at the shop on Sunday as long as Jennifer is feeling well enough.

John, we're worried someone died. It's really unusual that you miss a game without calling, and you haven't returned any calls. Get in touch with us, please.




WoW: Widescreen Edition. (Click to Embiggen)

John- Give me a call tomorrow evening. Maybe we'll do dinner, too?

The place is a mess, but it's good enough for a game. Monday is on.


BTW, do any of you have a pair of crimpers for CAT5? (Dustin? Bubbles? Scott?)
I still can't find mine and I have some cabling that needs ends. I can't even find a pair at work. (They use punch-down connectors.)

If one is available I'd like pick it up tomorrow (Sunday) and return it at the game on Monday.

Jeremy - Dude I don't know what sort of shape Casa de Gaggins is in but I wanted to know if you were interested in getting together and watching some movies this weekend? I have to watch some flicks for the site anyways (and I bailed on this Sunday at the shop). Plus it is finally feeling like fall and I need to watch some horror films! Let me know.

Shatz

Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg is going to play Scotty in the new Star Trek prequel.


THOSE FUCKERS ARE RAPING MY CHILDHOOD AGAIN!

Oh god I know this one. It is H. All of the above!




Hey everyone next time you see Dustin ask him about Buffalo Bill! :)

In case ya' haven't guessed, the game is canceled for today.

Dustin, John:

When you get back from your little weekend event, were we still going to hit Red Lobster for the all-you-can-devour shrimpage?

Give me a call when you get in if you wanna' do it.

Jeremy - That is to be expected. Moving tends to do two things. First it shows you how much crap you own. Second it makes a mess of both the space you are moving out of and the one you are moving into.

Dustin - I'm going to assume since I haven't seen a post from you with an address that you will be coming to my house tomorrow to catch a ride. Like I said I need you at my place no later than 2 pm. That way we can get check into the hotel by 3 pm. I figure after we get up there we can grab some food (Russ may go with us if he is there). This is going to be the best weekend ever!

I may have to call off the Monday game. The movers are showing up Monday to haul off the rest of Mom and Amber's things. I can't be sure what condition the house will be in before then.

I will be off work at 3PM on Monday. Be sure to check the blog (or call) around 4PM for updates.

Huh...

I just registered a new account for Dave using one of my email addresses.
(Farva@Baglecon.com) I sent an invite to myself from his blog, and it arrived just fine.

I'm tellin' ya, Shatz... yer' Blog be borken.

Still nothing. Anything to the Bagle domain arrives unfiltered, and there is a catch-all address set on top of that.

Invites aren't being sent.

John, your blog be broked.

Well I tried sending it the address you gave me.

Nothin' arrived. Slashcutterr@ right? No invite notice when you log into as him on the Blogger homepage, or in his email. Not even in the spam folder.

Just read the Blogger FAQ. Apparently invites can be sent to any email address. Try sending one to bagledon [at] baglecon. Maybe Yahoo's mail filters aren't letting it through.

There is an invite for Farve again. Hopefully this will work.



There is an invite for Farve again. Hopefully this will work.

Muahahhaha! I found a copy of Grigor's character sheet in my old emails at level 21! (vs. the 14 I was working with for the game.) It's from just after one of the big shopping trips! I don't have any of the stuff that was in my backpacks, but it has my currently equipped items by slot, including the full specs for Durendal. It'll save me tons of time rebuilding.

I'd forgotten about 90% of this stuff. My petrification gaze... flight... hell, I've got a hat that lets me use Polymorph. (Inukchuk!)


***

John, if you would could you remove whatever "Farva" account is currently on this blog and send out (yet another) invite? I've got his account registered with Google now for the updated blog now, so this one should work.

slashcutterr [at] yahoo [dot] com

Actually I think that Dustin mentioned yesterday that he had the game all ready to go. So I would imagine that we need to be ready with the epics.

On another note.....

What game are we playing tonight?

Dustin, Farva said something about you not being ready for the Epic campaign, so we'd be doing the gestalt game tonight instead. Is this correct?

I'm hopin' so, 'cause Grigor isn't done. All I've managed to dig up is an old copy of his sheet, and haven't had a chance to re-write him to current specs.

Aah... epic campaigns. Organizing your character is like doing your taxes: Hours of prep work and cross-checking notes and forms, only to be raped by an evil entity you have no chance of ever defeating. Good times. <.<

Ah hell... LoLEldarGods? I can't beat that.

Mwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

How long will it be until Dustin is the crack spider's bitch?

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1734043

Hah. Months old, but this is the first time I've seen this:

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1741589

Secret move!

OBEY LULCAT!

Damned Lulcat!

The time has come for us to revisit the dueling cat pictures!

Beware, I live!

I found this to be pretty freakin' funny.

I know how we had talked about going over to Pharva's to play magic tomorrow. I ran into Pharva after the game last night, and he is house sitting for Jeremy and wants to know if you all would like to come to Jeremy's and play magic tomorrow instead.

Game will be called this week on account of me being 500 miles from my basement. <.<

We head out today for NC. I should have internet access the entire time, though, as our hotel (a Best Western... go figure) is supposed to have high-speed access in the rooms.

Yay.

Hope all of you have a good Monday. I'll see ya' next week.

I'm not going to make it tonight. Jennifer has to work late so I'm on dog duty.

John (and to anyone else interested):

Here is the guy who sells all the awesome card sleeves. (He also sells matching boxes for a lot of the sleeve art, too.)

These are the Standard Size sleeves.

I'm having lunch with my parents so I won't be there too early. See everyone tonight.

Yeah, I think we're still gaming.

I think a bunch of us are off work tomorrow if you wanted to start earlier? We could either do an extended session (if everyone can come) or just play some cards.

Is everyone still planning on coming over on Monday still? I just realized that it was a holiday :)

If so I have stuff planned for my game. I was just wondering.

Another cook at work quit today, all my nights off this weekend are now scheduled. God I hate that place/love overtime.

I do so love the Japanese.

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=995931&fr=&cache=1

Enjoy

I think I might stop over on Friday, but nothin' for me tonight.

So, is any1 coming over, or should I make other plans?

My nights off this week are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I open on those days, all the rest I work doubles on.

Farva-

The two sticks of RAM you'd found are:

Smart 512MB DDR 266 (PC2100) - $20
Kingston 512MB DDR 333 (PC2700) - $25

Dustin- You had expressed some interest in the past about buying my PC when I went to upgrade. Were you still wanting to do that?

It's going to be a complete system. P4 3.4GHz, 1GB DDR2, 250GB SATA-HD, DVD-RW, with the case and a damn nice PSU. Video card is getting a little dated- it's a Radeon X700 PCIe 128MB, but it has served me well.

I was going to offer you first dibs on it before throwing it on eBay.

The library uses some iPrism server that does nothing but filter web content. It burnt up just a few days ago, and the replacement was just up and running about 3pm today, just before the boss went home. But it's new- back to default settings- so it's still using its original, unmodified blacklists.

We've already received a dozen emails from people complaining that they can't get on their MySpace pages, or asking why it is "not aloud" anymore. Another And it will remain that way at least till Monday.

I've been giggling like a little schoolgirl every time another message pops into my mailbox about it.

Oo... there is another one. Teeheehee...

Thanks.

Fishbot in the mail!

my current email is dmellott2001@gmail.com.

BEER IS GOOD!
BEER IS GOOD!
BEER IS GOOD... and stuff.

It's all good. It's not even the weekend yet. Plenty of time.

Besides, "late notice" for this group would be realizing the game got called at 6:30p Monday Evening, 'cause Dustin fell asleep. ;D


Oh, and happy anniversary, and all that jazz.

Guys Monday is my anniversary and up until last night Jennifer was going to be out of town. But she is getting back early so I'll not be at the game on Monday. Sorry for the late notice.

Dustin, I've got a damn nice fishbot from Armypunk. (Same guy who did the Star Wars crafting macro.) It's an Auto-it executable, run the .exe and follow the instructions. It's pretty straightforward, and should be mostly undetectable, as it runs a mouse emulation to control the clicks. (No scanning packets.)

I used to use it all the time when fishing for Deviates. I parked myself inside WC (so nobody could run past and see me) and fished overnight. (Get a mod that plays an audible alert when you receive a /whisper, and set it to something loud. That way if a GM does happen to notice you it'll wake you up to answer. (Which is really, extremely unlikely to happen if you're hidden, but better to be safe.)

Do you have a new email address I can send it to? I haven't sent anything to dmellott2001@yahoo since mid-2006, and it's bouncing things back now so I'm guessing it's dead.

Dustin - How about a small Asian man named Pong? :P

Anyone know of a good free wow fishing aid?

Hah!

Back to random D&D bits- If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion), you get a +2 bonus on turning checks against undead.

Mine is scarier than yours....


Speaking of Scary

Jeremy I say UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!

Hmmn... I suppose we could do dogs, too.

Farva! I want your report on my desk by next Monday!


YOUR BALLS HAS A FLAVOR

NOM NOM NOM!

Farve the first rule of Tech Club is there is no tech club.

The second rule of Tech Club is that you don't do anything to make the already annoying fucking users want to talk to Tech Support on a Monday morning.

Jeremy I say UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!

Well shit I read it wrong. Hmm well its as effective as the other one.

Farva,

I spent the weekend hoping you were telling stories again, but a phone call Monday morning let me know otherwise.

After you walked to the library to try out the new U3 Thumb Drive, at what point did you believe it appropriate to call over someone at the reference desk and say "Hey check this out, I'm through your firewalls and can get admin access to your systems!" (Which... you can't, actually... but the librarians aren't expected to know that.)

Your assignment for this week is to write a short essay of 100 words or less titled

Why I should not be kicked in the nuts
by David Pelfrey

You will be graded, so I would recommend taking the time to run it through a spell-check, or have a proof-reader look over it. Up to 10 points of extra credit will be awarded for the addition of an appropriate animal picture with funny caption. One has been provided as an example:



"Oh hai. This are my nut. Plz do not be kicking it."

I can't find a single feat I'm interested in for my Paladin/Soulblade out of a dozen different PDFs. Though I do kind of wish I'd had gone ahead and played an Elan instead of a Human. Elan have a racial feat which allow them to survive without food or water. =P



Dustin, I'm taking a feat from Book of Exalted Deeds.

Nimbus of Light:
"You are cloaked in a radiant light that marks you as a servant of the purest ideals. All who look upon you know without a doubt that you are a champion of good and are favored by the powers of the Upper Planes.

Benefit: Good creatures automatically recognize the radiants surrounding you as a sign of your purity and devotion to the powers of good. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks made when interacting with good creatures. (Woo-freakin-hoo.)

Your radiance sheds light as a common lamp: bright light to a radius of 5 feet and shadowy illumination to 10 feet. You can extinguish this radiance at will and reactive it again as a free action.

So... yeah. I'm a motherfuckin' light(bulb) of God. Even the next feat up the chain (at level 6) is laughably useless. It turns the dimmer switch of God up to high, enlarging the bright light to a 10' radius. Which deals 1d4 points of damage to undead a round. I mean... holy shit! A d4! Those 1/4HD skeletons would be all like "daaaaaaaymn."



I ARE PALADINCAT!


Bubbles - I'm reading through Complete Divine looking for any worthwhile feats for my Paladin. I took a look at Augment Healing while I was here. (It gives you +2 per level of the spell (not your caster level.) +2 on Cure Lts, +4 on Mods, +6 on Serious, +14 on Heal, etc.

It doesn't double your caster level bonus (that still caps out with the spell) but it can push the bonus to above +5/+10/etc. "An 8th level cleric with the Healing domain and this feat casting Cure Moderate Wounds would restore 2d8+13 hp (9 for his caster level including the +1 level bonus for the healing domain, +4 for the feat.)"


Farva - I still haven't found that healing feat you're looking for. Closest I've found is Sacred Healing - Spend a turn attempt and grant Fast Healing 3 (heal 3pts a round) to all living creatures in a 60ft burst.

Jeremy - Sorry that I missed your post. I had a bunch of shit blow up on me on Friday and it wasn't a good day at all.

Dustin - Are you going to make it on Sunday? Just was wondering if they cut you some slack since they are like destroying you with hours.

Everyone should get skype because it rules the hizhouse! And it is free if you only want to talk to others with Skype. :)
