Epsilon turns 1

Yaaaaaaay.

It has served me well this first year. <3 Here's to many more!

Still on hiatus from GE. Nothing looks interesting enough to come back.

Painted World

Welp, not much to report from April. I ended up getting Sorang, while leveling Selene(Brunie), along with Teoxihl(Natalie), Clint(Jack), Lorch and Belletrice(Adelina). Wanted Shot is maxed, refreshing to have an expert stance that doesn't take FOREVARZ to level. Destroyer is still sitting at 21.

Kind of waiting around to see if there's a new playtime event for this month, occasionally getting on to check the market. Still can't determine names for a buncha characters, but I also need more barrack slots.

On the non-granado front, my Vella is now 56, steadily making progress on her. I'm horribly lacking in reading stuff for fun...got to get back to Homestuck(a reread) and Silentium.

I think I'll have to try follow Ferra's random naming conventions for posts, I just can't think of anything right now.

*a Two Steps From Hell song

what are you smoking google

all the blogs i follow have been deleted.

._.

this is going to take some work to find them all again.

edit: and now they're all back because i allowed this superfish.com which reloaded half my tabs????

i am so done with the fucking internet today i swear

Busy March

So, I've been playing GE regularly enough because of the Bristia patch.

Completed Selva and Jack's bristia-related quests, although I need Jack's dumb...stone pit riot thing done. Not to mention I haven't started Raven and Gavin's, and Bernelli's I'm stuck on. HISS GRR BAHUMBUG. I just want to recruit people and roflstomp the mainquestline why this.

I did finally get Barrel! He is one of my favorite characters ever. ;v; I named him Vollstagg, after the fat jolly Warriors Three fellow from the Marvel Thor universe. Originally I was going to name him JiveTurkey but decided on something more serious...

I try and keep up with some Kielce dailies but I'm slacking, specially on the Night parts or pirate clobbering...it's tedious for someone undergeared like me.

And the occasional rhapsody with Irv.

Calyx and Luis, two awesome people, highfiving. (Lilina's hand ruins this shot whyyyy)

My group chat is actually a fun place to hang out. We have some ridiculous conversations ranging from critiquing characters to asian food to book series to anatomy/biology(recently thanks to the returned Idemair and the fact she's in pre-med)

Some highlights that need to be shared with the world:

I'm sure there will be more to come.
Time for random screens!

 Spotted Corax-Ewelli in town sporting fancy costumes GIVE THEM TO ME NOW.

Hanging out with Cannondale's Pico(Marchetti) in Kielce.

I want Durant as a recruitable character he's too cute ;A;

I've also started playing Vindictus again since I'm getting sick of GE. :3 Sigh, that game is actually fun...it can be repetitive, but you do actually *play* not just hit a few buttons. :l The crossgun is rather insane, and I got drafted for a Keaghan run on my evie..I haven't played in months, but I somehow only died once and stuff. Yey me.

That wraps it up for now.

pickles and pineapples

hey looooook after.....five...years or something this happened. lul.

I'm tremendously sporadic with them ramblings, but oh well. I'm pretty much over my sickness but my ears still feel clogged...we recently had a taste of the low pressure blizzard that was dumping on Kansas, and its a funny thing to see so much snow piled up in March.

Oh god, March. Four birthdays this month, compared to the barren Jan and Feb for me. And then it'll happen again in July. Even funnier is the pattern. The 5th, then the 11th, then the 21st, then the 29th, then my birthday on April 5th, and then another birthday on April 10th.

But let's not think about July. At all.

GE wise I'm just puttering along. I only have Ion and Tora left to recruit, and then Trickinesis/Frost/Furious/Abyss stances...still stuck in Castilla Relics.

Everything's pretty boring, and I've been farming runes. Partly to help my friend make ~THE INSIGHT OF ANTARES~, partly to make my own const, partly for dignites since i have to recoup losses from the horrible horrible fleuet glacier quest.

It's probably somehow a good thing the Bristia patch is coming soon, I guess I'll have something to do.


Um. there you go, some useless spiel.

this is a title

I am tremendously lazy. Made quite a bit of progress on the patch, I think I only have Cruz the asshole and Ion the annoying left to recruit.

Still haven't made Ludin, Daria or Vincent cause I don't know what to name 'em.

Managed to avoid the bugged points and quickly got my Racel, so that's fun.(Although I am disappoint he doesn't appear like his original concept art...)

My bonus MBP ran out as I got sick so I couldn't scrounge the last bit to get him to vet. q_q Still getting over that...worked on the Cath expert stance more today. And I'm miffed cause I missed a few days for Vero's diary thing.

Probably the most annoying thing about being sick, aside from the cough, is that my ears are clogged and distort sound..most songs have a weird, echoy chime to them. =_=

Guess that's all for nowww.

Excuse Me While I Scream

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[more screaming]
[and more]
[some more]
[almost-no more screaming]
[SCREAMS]

OKAY

SO

I REALLY WISH WE HAD KGE'S SYSTEM OF STAGGERING SMALLER AMMOUNTS OF CONTENT FASTER

BECAUSE FUCKING HUGE PATCHES LIKE THIS HIT ME FOR A DOOZY.

But it's been almost two weeks now.

Ho-lee shiiiit.

Guys. Guys.

I HAVE VERONIF. SOB. I HAVE HER
AND ELISA
AND GRANDIES OH MAN GRANDIES. HER HAIR IS THE FUCKIN BEST. ELISA IS SO CUTE.

I acquired Natalie first, then Daria, then Veronif, then Elisa, then Grandies. Fff, Grandies is actually pretty cool.

I really need a greatsword. I couldn't do the Soul Guard fight with my +5 natachi lulz. It'd be nice if I could get another rosario and ele robe too... .-.

With the advent of this patch + transfer some of my old friends have come back too, Ratridevi and Irving! wop wop. I shoved their gear back at them and some new stuff for Irv because he is a costume fiend. Lucky for him this patch. Not so lucky, his lack of feso.


ALSO

OH MY DEAR SWEET GOD, TELEKINESIS AND UNLIMITED SHOTS KICK SO MUCH ASS THAT THERE IS NO ASS LEFT, ITS AN ASS HOLOCAUST. 

Selva's stance is upgraded! I can finally get Blitz Assault! eeeee

The things I have left to do are-
Get Marie(y) -About three more basement runs.
Get Ion - finish farming for Rose piece, attempt Saut/Abre raids.
Get Beatrice - attempt Cortes(shitty luck, tried it like three times now and they all failed)
Get Blitz Assault and start on Tora's quest
Plus figure out what the hell I'mma do with my money.

It was a real treat to see the side quests for NPCs too! Raven's was the weirdest/funniest I think. I enjoyed Selva's, which dug into the key elements of the story more. Sharif's was a total let down though. :(

I recruited Vincent yesterday, before going out to a movie(Gangster Squad. my god it was so cool). He's not so bad, and I want to know more about Armonia. ;C Thanks to Lusse's eternal photoshop-fiddling, I've found he's fucking adorable with proper eyebrows.

Today, I acquired Ludin. I cannot believe IMC accurately portrayed arguing, misunderstanding siblings. xD I did Hell Breaker with Irv and my god what nostalgia that was. She's quite a fiesty little brat, but she's grown on me since her reveal. Still, I expect Leo to keep her in line. >:l

Her and Vince aren't created yet, since I'm unsure what to name them. Same goes for Daria(or should I say Lightning from FFXIII because really.)

It was exciting exploring the Fe Lomme Gardens and Castle, and as my good friend Shenanigans said, its as if every villain worth their salt has a degree in Interior Design(In Montoro's case, he's also got Landscaping down)

The Judgement Day scenario was interesting, but my excitement for it was small. I had already seen videos of it, and this game does not handle cutscenes very well(although recent patches have sort of improved it). I can't help but think of how amazing it would be if it were single player!

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll make a post later with a bunch of screenshots! *w*

Here We Are, Folks

The last hours of Sword2.

The first hours of a new year, or a calendar's reset.

I'm twitchy, but it's a good twitchy.

Bring it on, 2013. I'm ready for you.
