“You are a veritable cesspool of useless trivial knowledge.”
everyday glory, games, music, news and info April 27th, 2007Friday – 27 April 2007
This is it. The end of the week. Amen.
So far, the day’s going fairly well. I am thinning out the blood in my caffeinestream. I didn’t have to wrangle road monkeys – PoW or otherwise – this morning. There were people paragliding off Traverse Mountain. And it’s been quiet here at the ranch.
I spent a portion of last night hanging with Kate, Perry and the kids. It was a nice way to wind down after work. Then I went home and vegged. And it was good. I even managed to catch the rare and elusive
Winged Justice
After that, I took Corvus Nox to Paragon City.
You know it’s hard out there for a pimp Level 10 hero. I couldn’t find anyone from my supergroup online, so it took some time to find a team. I was invited to join a group for missions in The Hollows. My big complaint about The Hollows: They expect low level characters to run – RUN – across the zone to a mission… and avoid higher-level bad guys in the process… and not die. *sigh* Or in my case: Hover. We had a member with teleport for one of the missions, that was a boon. WHen he left, however… it was back to hover-ifficness. Wa. Hoo.
The team – actually “teams” – I was on was/were good. I was worried in a couple of cases because we were heavy with Tankers and Defenders… and only one blaster, at one point. Typically, you want to have a well-rounded team – especially one with members who can do some ranged damage, hence my concern. I shouldn’t have been quite so worried – we did pretty well. Yes, we died a few times, but not as frequently as I had originally feared.
I even managed to add a couple more levels and make it to Security Level 12 before I logged out.
Stray Toasters
- I am craving something. I think it’s cotton candy.
- Why isn’t the new Legion set of ‘Clix out yet?!? Oh, wait… it’s not June. *sigh*
- Super-Ventriloquism. This may actually push Hover out of the “second most-stupid superpower ever” slot.  Tyranist disagrees; he thinks it is the – and I quote – “Worst. Power. Ever.”
- Speaking of Tyranist, he introduced me to a song from EuroTrip called Scotty Doesn’t Know. It cracked me up. Even worse: About halfway through the song, I started picturing Cyclops as the Scotty in the song… and Jean and Logan as Fiona and the lead singer. That made me laugh even more.

Back to it.
Namaste.
