late night with... zombies

2010-11-16T10:45:00.003-06:00

there is nothing like getting off work at 2300hrs (11pm) and talking about zombies with the guy on the next shift lol

we're both really into zombies and started to talk about different weapons, plans, etc... he told me about this guy he works with has this brother that isinto zombies that has a country home that is stocked full of weapons and ammo.. i mean stocked! he's got guns buried in the yard too. Not just normal over the counter guns nope, he's got aka-47s and shit... damn I wouldn't mind have a collection like that. He's even got a old working crank shaft style Gatling gun that my co-worker got to fire.

that guy is for sure ready lol

anyways...
I got a job interview today yay! lets see how it goes, they didn't say how much it pays guess i'll find out when i get there.

Splatterhouse

2010-11-14T00:09:00.003-06:00

Splatterhouse comes out in about 10 more days!!! I can't wait. I've been waiting for this game since I first heard about it a couple of years ago. I was a huge fan of the old games back in the day.

Anyways... here is a little trailer i threw together enjoy!

A little rant...

2010-11-10T18:41:00.002-06:00

It's getting very very hard for me to keep waking up every day to go to my job...

You see, I've given so much to this job in the past 9yrs... only to have vac taken away (but i did get promoted so that's good and I have a boss that does work with me) and so much more.

1. I started working for the place I work at under a different company before. Pay wasn't that great but I needed money and they hired me. I really didn't have plans on staying at this place that long... 9yrs later i'm sitting here writing this... This company at least did things for my department and gave us lots of time off. Near the end I had almost a month of time total. We also got paid Over Time like crazy they didn't care as well as extra cash for report defects etc... But it came to a end in 2005.

2. The new company took over and took away many things... All of those days off of mine are gone and now I only have 10 days... No more parties, O/T, giving us things, cash for defects, etc...

3. The new management department treats us like dogs, since we're no longer a part of them (we were in-house when i first got there now we're a hired contract). They even blame us for missing 'toilet paper' claiming we are thieves. Even say we go into their frig and eat their stuff or mess with it. On one incident of the frig thing... 1 guy from their team told 1 of our guys that he was allowed to have left over pizza they had from a party earlier that day. So he had a slice... Next day the management team was in a uproar claiming that we stole pizza and went through their stuff and how we should pay for their 'pizza'. The guy that told our guy that he could didn't stand up at all and never said sorry or anything. Instead those f***ing cry babies got a new full pizza paid by the guy that ate the 1 slice.

4. They talk to us as if we're stupid and cut in many times on our conversions to put in their 2 cents which isn't worth shit. They tell us how to do our job but we even dare say 1 word they will get upset of course... During a fire in a large dumpster in a dock I was in command and in control. I had my guys blocking traffic, guys that ran and got me fire extinguishers, etc... and 1 from management had to come up to me and question why I had so many in the area? Lets see, 1 to block traffic, 2 were with me helping me put out this large fire which when the FD came out with their Chief, he requested back-up... so yes it was a large fire. And that guy never said sorry. There are hundreds of other incidents where they were wrong and never, never! have said sorry or anything because they are never wrong... never.

5. I would comment on some other things but due to what they involve of it may place some people in danger, etc... lets just say we run errands which we are not qualified.

6. I get 2 days off every week (rare times I do not, but I do get a extra day down the road). 1 time while on my normal days off a guy from management got upset because I wasn't there and wanted me to work all week without a day off. Of course I didn't do this but he wasn't happy that I had 'days off'. You see, I am 2nd head man, the 1st (my boss) was on vac and I'm supervisor on weekends so I do not have weekends off or else they will be short handed etc... So my days off are during the week day... this guy wasn't happy about that. He was rude and I can't remember word for word but it wasn't how someone in his position should of handled it.

7. I do a lot of things around the place. I do get some free meals, etc... but I do feel like i get taken advantage of and many (almost all) of my co-workers see this. I'm a nice hard working guy, so when they ask something of me I do it. Which could be a bad thing...

I'm always (or it seems and others see this too) asked first to cover for someone. I don't mind usually but after 9 years of it... yeah. I'm asked to stay over a lot, do errands a lot, work on computers (even outside of my department) a whole lot just because I know how to work on them, etc... I do a lot and after 9 years of all of this i'm getting tired of it...

8. Always shaving... I hate to shave. yes this might be a stupid thing and some say that I have too and its a way of life but come on man. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of not being able to be myself but being a puppet for this company. It even says it in our damn handbook both on and off work we gotta follow their guidelines! yes, off work I am not allowed to do anything that could be taken has neg feedback which makes the company look bad. So if I do a protest for anything, get drunk in public, get in a fight, the list goes on and on I can be fired, all while doing it off duty on my own time.

9. Pay raises hahahahahahaha that is all

10. "If you don't like it then quit" that's what your saying. I would love too, but you know what I can't. Its not like a fucking drug or something you can just quit... No, money is way worse then a drug... without it your life will be ruined... no place to live, no food (or very little), etc...

I got stuck in this job and I hate it more and more every year. I see others that been there way longer and how they aren't doing anything but working at this place. I don't want to become like them and stuck at this place. I want to do something with meaning, something that treats me better, a job that i'll enjoy for a long time.

I'm hurting for money really damn bad, close to losing a lot. So, i'm stuck working here being a puppet, treated like nothing by both the company and customers...

It takes a toll after 9 years of people beating you down every damn day... i'm not kidding its every day... 9 years of it.

I am a manic depressant and bi-polar and this is very damn hard for me to keep my head up and is getting harder.

Life isn't fair... that is true but we made it this way.

that is all for now... I can keep going into a very very long rant but I'll end it here.

please excuse any typos, errors, etc... because i'm not going to bother reading this... I'm most likely spend all night adding more to it if i do.

All I want is to live my life...

2010-11-07T22:07:00.002-06:00

Just finished watching the latest The Walking Dead episode on AMC and now i'm trying to enter the zombie extra contest which like last time the severs are crashing lol

AMC really should get more servers or something to fix this problem if they are going to keep having this contest after every show. I keep getting:
"Could not connect to the database:
Too many connections"

Tonight's episode was pretty good, i think they are up to issue #77-78? I can't remember its been a little while.

Once again the gore was still pleasant. I'm sure AMC will have it up on their site to watch later in the week.

not much to update

2010-11-05T19:20:00.002-05:00

There isn't too much to update with this post.

Sandy is doing well (*see previous post), The Walking Dead Epi 2 titled 'Guts' premiers this Sunday! I believe you can see the first episode online at AMC's website for those that missed it. I highly recommend you check it out if you're a zombie fan.

I'm still working on my Ork army, still need a lot of painting to be done which I'm slowly getting to. My next 40k battle will be this Tues at Comic Asylum in Richardson, TX http://www.comicasylum.com/, its at their new location.

I still haven't gotten on WoW lately. I might stay off till the expansion or a little before it comes out to get back in the saddle.

Sandy

2010-11-02T17:22:00.003-05:00

I just found out today that my oldest cat (10yrs) Sandy has cancer...
She's been with my g/f ever since she was a kitten.

There isn't much we can do beside make her as comfortable as possible until she gets to bad and we'll have to... put her down.

Me and my g/f spent most of the day crying.

The Vet doesn't know exactly how long she has...

She's so beautiful and has brought so much joy in our lives. I love her so much.

I'll keep you all posted on her status. Right now she's sitting in the living room on the sofa sleeping.

The Walking Dead

2010-11-01T12:00:00.000-05:00

Well,
The Walking Dead premiered last night on AMC and it was great!

I wasn't sure how much gore they would allow but it was a good amount. Glad AMC isn't holding back much.

The story line is very close to the comic/graphic novel but there are a few little changes.

Over all I give it 2 thumbs up. Its nice to have a really good zombie tv series playing now.

3 days

2010-10-28T01:51:00.002-05:00

In 3 days The Walking Dead premiers on AMC!!!

I can't wait!

I've started to watch my zombie collection leading up to the big release!

Also,
My last warhammer 40k game went pretty well. I didn't win, but I didn't lose... it was a draw. We were tied at the end.

Again,
I could really use some help. Please donation if you can, any amount will help out! Just click the donate button on the left side or send it to lordt6@verizon.net through paypal! Thanks!

new kitten

2010-10-25T08:30:00.003-05:00

Well,
My new kitten which I am calling her Senorita Pebbles or just Pebbles :P is going to need to visit the vet. She needs a full check up, shots, etc...

It might cost around $120.00

If you could, please help out by donating what ever you can. Just click the donate button on the left side.

Thanks!

a little help from some friends

2010-10-24T09:52:00.002-05:00

Well,
I'm going through a very tough time. I'm behind on my house and car... utilities are late and i still gotta take my cats to the vet for their yearly check up. Oh, speaking of cats, I have a new edition to my cat family. Holli found the cutest little kitten outside. Not sure what to name her yet... still thinking.

If anyone can, please help out by donating what ever you can, even if its just a dollar!

I'm trying really hard to get a part-time job but no luck yet...

The Walking Dead tv show is a week away!!!! I can't wait.

back from the...

2010-10-22T11:03:00.004-05:00

well i'm not back from the dead (not sure how a zombie would be able to keep a blog) but i am back from being MIA from this blog.

I'm taking a little break from WoW, been so for a couple of months now, getting all rested up before the big expansion release coming up!!!

I have been doing another type of gaming in it's place... miniature war gaming with Warhammer 40k. I think i might be addicted haha. I'm playing with a Ork army, games been 1500 and 2000 points. I'm still learning a lot but getting it all down. Its really fun, both playing and painting your army.

In zombie news, who can't wait for 'The Walking Dead' tv show!!! I know I can't but have no fear its almost here! I also saw Resident Evil After Life a few weeks ago, not bad. It was a little better then the last but doesn't really reflect any of the games story like the others but I still enjoyed it. Also, Survival of the Dead is finally out! I saw it awhile back on Verizon fios, they had it on demand before you can see it in theaters and now its on DVD. I got the special edition (from Canada) and now my '.... Of the Dead' films are complete once again until GAR releases his next one. GAR said in a interview that he does plan on at least 2 more being made, hopefully.

If anyone out there still reads this blog, let me know by leave some comments. I am going to bring this blog back to life... just gotta do some dusting around here, its been awhile.

Watch it

2010-03-28T11:09:00.002-05:00

Ok, so i watched Repomen last nite. WoW... you have to see this movie. It has gore some humor and a very good twist in the end. I'm not sure what else to say. Its really good.

Also, i saw a trailer to another movie i have to see; Predators
Yup thats right a new predator movie. From what i could tell from the trailer, a group of special ops that were supposed to be executed for what ever reason woke up on this planet. The planet is filled predators and they have to survive some how. I know they can't possibly kill every predator... that is impossible for a normal human so i'm wondering how this will play out.

well, i'm at work atm guess i'll see you all later

Repomen

2010-03-27T12:34:00.001-05:00

Later this afternoon after work I plan on seeing Repomen, the movie looks pretty cool and from what i've heard is bloody. I'll give a short review after I see it, maybe tomorrow.

For those MMORPG fans out there you should watch a movie called '2nd Skin' its a documentary about people that play games like WoW, EQ, etc... its very good. If you have netflix, you can see it instantly.

I have some ideas for a WoW video, i'll try it out and see if i can bring my idea to life and post it on youtube. I'll keep you updated.

well, thats all for now...

WoW.. its been awhile

2010-03-18T10:40:00.003-05:00

Well well, its been awhile since my last post i guess i should give a little update to anyone that still reads this. (btw if you do read this, leave a comment please and let me know!)

I've been away from not only blogger but WoW for a little bit but I'm back!
To the right you can find my WoW RSS feed, you'll be able to see what i'm up too.

I've been kind of busy with my band and taking some college classes (digital imaging) and trying to get a new/better job. But... i have been thinking about dropping the band so i can focus more on getting a better job and more pay (please donate if you can, i really need the help or visit some of the ads)

I plan on making some WoW videos soon, not sure how soon yet lol i need to do some work on my PC before doing so, more ram, bigger HD, etc...

on the zombie front:
I got a zombie tattoo on my leg, i'll post a photo next post.

anyways, thats a rough run down. i'll be posting more again.

thanks and see you next post!

Ok, first off... i haven't been posting much due to being a little stressed and working on a few other things.

www.randomaccessdfw.com is one of the projects i'm working with my friend

I'm stressed because i'm falling really behind... i'm behind on my mortgage payment and car payment... by 2 months or so... So i'm in dire need of some help.. any help.

i'm sure you have heard this sad story over and over...
i can hear the world's smallest violin playing i think, but i'll give it a try because i need the slightest help

Donate what you want/can... anything will help from .50 cents to $50.00 dollars,,, or more if you want to be really kind :D

thanks

i hate to beg but i have nothing else to do, i'm already selling a lot of my stuff and cutting back (even on food, i have no food in the house atm. Eat the last poptart today.)

yes i am this bad of shape...

2009-06-04T07:32:00.002-05:00

well, its 7:30am... i'm just now waking up.
btw i'm on vac... feels good not having to wake, get dressed then rush out the door and fight traffic.

Since i'm off and i really have nothing to do i've been catching up on some movies.

I finally saw Machine Girl, wow. If you are into over the top gore this one is a must see!
Next on the list is Tokyo Gore Police, it will be coming in soon from netflix

I have a few zombie films in my watch instancly Que
American Zombie
Redneck Zombies
Boy eat Girl
Dead Meat
Ozone
Mulva Zombie Ass Kicker Filthy McNasty (interesting title lol)

I also added the classic Zombie, which i've seen many times already. I used to have the DVD but sold it.

Since on the topic of Zombies, since I got the xbox 360 from ebay (only 31.50) I couldn't wait to get back on Left 4 Dead to try the new updates... awesome is all i have to say.

I'm looking forward to all the other zombie games and upcoming movies this summer and fall. It's going to be a good zombie filled year!

i can't believe it

2009-05-22T13:38:00.003-05:00

well,

I really never do much on ebay, but I do have 100% positive rating (12)

From time to time i jump on and see whats out there and something bid on some low items to see if maybe i win... sometimes i do, but most of the time I dont
more so if the item is a in demand or high priced item...

but today I won something i couldn't believe, i'm still all excited about it

yes, as you can tell by the image on this post... i won a perfectly working xbox 360 for only $31.00, it is from some game shop that had a customer return, it has been tested and works fine. The place has a huge perfect rating (the highest you can have on ebay) So, i'm sure they are trustworthy

only $31.00

its time like this, i say... i love ebay lol

now i can jump back into SF4 and get my rank back up (hopefully, i know i'm sooooooo behind now.. makes me sad) and do some Left 4 Dead.

I can't wait!

I'll give you a update when I get it in a few days.

Green Thumb

Now, being the huge zombie fan I am, I finally made my zombiesurvivalist.org site
It is still under construction, but it will host my reviews, my stories/books (if i get one published), news about upcoming movies/books/games. Check it out!

you can join the myspace group if you like, the link is to the right, just scroll down and you'll see my links box.

well, I'm still w/o a xbox 360.... I feel like just giving up and selling off my games... I can barely afford to eat atm. I'm behind on bills, including the utilities bill... if you want to help, donate please! or check those ads.

I'm going to keep writing for AC and hopefully that will help out some.

well, i got work to do today, it my day off and i'm cleaning! (yes, i really do like to) My house can get unorganized quickly.

ebay is awesome

2009-05-01T12:12:00.002-05:00

I rarely go on ebay but I went today just to peak around and i found this

I placed my bid of $5.00 and 40mins later... I won!

they normally are like $5+ each, all three for only $5 is awesome.

I'm a huge zombie fan and this is a awesome win for me.

2009 upcoming zombie films

2009-04-30T13:55:00.001-05:00

Trailers for some zombie films for 2009. Looks like there are going to be a lot of them this year (yay!)

I have plans on seeing them all, i'm looking looking forward to the new George A. Romero movie Island of the Dead

Here they are:
(big/long post, sorry but its worth it lol)

Haven't you heard?

2009-04-27T18:07:00.003-05:00

I just love that episode.

There hasn't been to much going on in my little demented world...

But last nite at some point lighting hit on of my trees in the backyard... it broke the top part off and came close to hitting the house. We didn't notice it till this morning. I took some photos, i'll post them later. You can see the burn marks on it. I can't believe I didn't even hear it...

Tsix is lv80 yay! And i'm working on getting some l33t gear on him.

Oh!
I finally saw The Zombie Diaries (not to be confused with Diary of the Dead) It was pretty damn good. Its raw and very bloody. I saw some of the behind the scenes stuff... they had some actors have live maggots put on their faces, pretty wild isn' t it?

The DVD is pretty cheap and its worth very cent!

I also bought a new zombie book (think i like zombie themed stuff? lmao)

The book is called Dead Reckoning: Dawning of the Dead, its a unofficial squeal to the original Dawn of the Dead. I just got the book in the mail and i'm a couple of chapters into it, its very good.

Batman (pt2 review)

2009-04-21T14:18:00.003-05:00

Ok, my post yesterday talked about my first experience playing the new batman game - Arkham Asylum. (official site here)

and now this is pt. 2 which i'll go into more detail.

First off, the demo was only 1 mode - Challenge mode. Since the game isn't fully finished there were a little bugs in the graphics. That will get polished when it is done. The demo was only for PS3 (i'm looking fwd to the xbox demo). A friend and manager of gamestop told me they just got the demo in and I ran strait to it.

The fighting system is the main thing i was most impressed by. 1 button is worth a thousand words... errr ass kicking more like it. Its amazing how just the press of 1 button can do so much. They made it very simple and very enjoyable. Its never the same punch/kick either and its how you use the controller. Once you get the hang of it you can stack up a huge combo just using that 1 button and knowing how to move correctly. There is another button which is just amazing, the counter attack button, it is flawless. With that then pressing the normal attack button you can do so much. The fighting is really fast pace and nonstop so you have to keep on your toes and always remember to use your counter strike because you'll be facing against groups of bad guys and they all attack you from all sides. Again its all how you move in the game.

Its kind of hard to explain.

Lets say this bad guy comes up from behind and tries to kick you, press the counter button, you'll grab his leg turn around and back fist him (it varies) then throw him, you then, while in the same motion, can more to another guy and then hit him, and you can do this nonstop till they are all down. It sound easy enough but you can get in trouble if you aren't paying attention to guys around you. anytime your moving around someone can come up behind, side etc.. and get you.

This is the most exciting game i've ever played. I'm impressed how well this turned out. Again i don't know how the full game plays but the Challenge mode is amazing. BTW this mode is you in a prison block area fighting groups of guys (each time getting larger and smarter even weapons as you go)

You don't fight against any named villains, i'm very curios how the fighting them would be like.

There is also different modes you can select that allow you to see differently. I didn't play around with that to much, but one mode is a x-ray mode you can pin point the person's bone while attacking.

and of course you can throw your bat stars etc.. i didn't play with that to much either. I was to busy melee fighting, that's just how awesome it is, you forget about everything else lol

The game is on xbox, ps3 and pc. The CE is a bit expensive ($99.99 on xbox, you can get it cheaper off amazon link is below)
Bonus Items Include:
* Waynetech Batarang Storage Box.
* 14" In-Game Design Batarang (stand attached).
* Dr. Young’s Journal (50 page full color character encyclopedia).
* 2 Sleeve DIGI-Pack Including:
o Game
o Behind the scenes 5 chapter series DVD, including: interviews with Mark Hammil and Kevin Conroy.
* Exclusive Collector’s Edition Challenge Map DLC.
* Manual.

Idk about you, but i plan on getting the CE game... its just that good

awesome demo (pt. 1)

2009-04-20T12:54:00.004-05:00

I just played the best demo of a game that isn't even finished yet...
Batman: Arkham Asylum

Never have i played a game with a fighting system this great. I'm lost for words atm, I knew it looked good but wow, its amazing. I hope i get another xbox by the time it comes out. this is one i cannot miss out on!

i'll post more later, i'm at work (yes, i kind of 'disappeared' and played this demo at gamestop lol)

Pt. 2 will come later with full details.

greetings

2009-04-15T13:41:00.002-05:00

well, I didn't do much for easter. I had sun. mon. and tues off. It went by way to fast. I finished my painting (below this post) and did some house cleaning.

exciting huh? lol

I'm really trying to finish some books i've been working on for years now. I also plan to enter a contest that Blizzard is doing w/ World of Warcraft. You write a short story about your character and if they like it you get goodies... grand prize gets a trip to Bliz's HQ, dinner w/ their team and the Frostmoure sword.

Yesterday me and my other half spent a few hours at the laundry mat (our washer broke down a couple of months ago...) While there, I got kind of bored so i started to spell her name out of pretzels lol she said it was the most romantic thing anyone has done lmao being sarcastic of course. But she can say, no one else has ever spelled her name w/ pretzels lol.

Zombie Painting Done

2009-04-14T13:08:00.006-05:00

Well, there it is... all finished. It took me about 4 days. I'm already getting ideas for my next one. I plan on making prints of this one and others to come, maybe sell them at some point if anyone is interested. If you are, please leave a comment.

zombie painting update

2009-04-13T14:14:00.006-05:00

well, i just finished doing a little more on my very first zombie painting... i'm pretty damn impressed with it, being my first one after all.

The first photo is from yesterday and the 2nd is from today like 30mins ago.

the photo below this is what paints i'm using.

tell me what you think

good morning

2009-04-13T10:32:00.002-05:00

I hit lv78 last nite. If i kept going i could of hit lv79 in estimated 7.2hrs (i have a addon that gives me a rough idea how long it takes)

I'm kind of playing around with my layout. I'm moving a few things around, etc...

again... if you can donate a little because i need help w/ not only to eat but to get another xbox 360... i am really missing it.

I hope you all had a good weekend! (if anyone really reads this, if you do let me know leave a commit!)

take care and i'll see you later

rain, lighting and all that

2009-04-11T21:07:00.003-05:00

Well, i'm at work atm, not really working, i had to come here to pick up my other half. So I went back up to the office and decided to burn some time on the interwebz.

I had no idea we were supposed to be getting a storm here (Dallas, TX area) I was at home (enjoying being all alone, doesn't happen often) then BOOM, very loud thunder that shook the house. Kind of surprising. On my way over here there was a nice light show, lots of lighting. I brought my camera w/ me so i might step outside to take a few pics. I'll post them later; maybe tomorrow, IDK.

I applied at Fry's (huge electronics store) I love that place. I can spent hours in there lol I need more money...

I still plan on making a fake movie trailer for a fake movie i thought up... (drum roll) NINJA BUNNY!!!!! (applaud here)
It will be a easter bunny that kicks butt... hopefully i can. I'm going to 'borrow' a easter bunny suit from where my g/f works (easter bunny set)

Also today I got some good news... Day by Day Armageddon 2 is about to come out!
Day by Day is the best zombie book i've read. I highly recommend it to all my fellow zombie fans. You can find it here: Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel)

the official site is: http://www.daybydayarmageddon.com/

alright that is all for tonight... happy easter everyone

till then...

2009-04-09T23:24:00.003-05:00

This photo shows the very early stages of a painting I am going to do. It will be my very first painting. I normally draw zombies but I decided to see what I can do on a canvas. As you can tell, I started with drawing a rough idea very lighty on a canvas. Later i'll start to fill it all in.

I'll take photos of it as I go.

I'm not sure how my first painting will turn out, but hey why not give it a try.

Also, I'm working more and more on my zombie book. Thats been slowly coming together as well... I'll post a little maybe later

gnite!

....help a gamer

2009-04-09T15:36:00.003-05:00

Well, i still don't have enough to get another xbox 360... its kind of sad. I think about how well i was doing in SF4 and all that Left 4 Dead playtime... etc... I wonder if I'll ever get back to the rank i was at on SF4... I'm so behind on it, i don't even want to know.

why don't you donate a little to a fallen gamer... please... lol

all i want is the $199 xbox. my old HD is still good. It's a bit hard to even try to save that up atm. I really need a new job or a PT job (which i've applied at so many places for PT and still no calls)

I still have no clue why Adsense dropped me... i can't find anything about it. I can't even contact them... wtf I had a good amount of $$ racked up too... i was looking forward to getting that and add it to my xbox 360 fund. but for some weird reason right before they sent me a check,,, i get dropped? i'm still not happy about that... oh well. screw them

well,, just wanted to beg a bit hehe

vote for me @ Best on Blogspot (click here or the image above) I'm near the bottom of the list - T6 Blog. I have 2 votes so far. Thanks to whoever voted and thanks in advance to those that will vote :D

tell your friends about this blog, tell your pets, tell your parents, tell the zombies outside your door...

^{i really would like to get back into the 360 world... please donate}

Alright... i should get back to work. its 4pm (central) i get off at 6pm then i'm out of here, then relax and later jump on WoW.

till then....

back in the day...

2009-04-08T17:05:00.002-05:00

Not many of you know this but i used to run a very sucessful linkshell (guild in FFXI) called Swords of Honor. I'm sitting here bored at work and looked at some old emails I had in my old email account and came across this. Its been years since I last played Final Fantasy XI. It kind of sucked you in and i was a bit addicted to it lol.

I made Swords of honor out of a fallen linkshell i used to be apart of, it blew up and even made me a little $$ from ads, etc... I found this on a old forum and thought i'll post it, why not.

before i go 2 sleep

2009-04-05T23:20:00.003-05:00

Well hello there. Yes, the pic you see is a photo of my monitors and as you can tell I am a WoW addict lol because you know... no one knows that right? lol

to the point... I'm lv 77 tonight (cheer with me.. ready? Yay!) I'm trying hard to hurry up and catch up w/ my buds. I shouldn't of took that break... oh well, i needed a little time away from WoW

in other news...
Still no Xbox and i'm really missing Street Fighter 4 and Left 4 Dead... damnit this sucks. again, please donate and help the 'LordT6 needs a new xbox cause fund driver thingy' hehe.

ah, one more thing. This morning on my way to work my check engine lite came on. Hopefully it's nothing to bad. I don't have another car... I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow after I drop of my g/f at work. If its gotta stay overnight... then i hope one of my friends can drive me home because it will be one very long ass walk. yes, its still under warranty (unlike my dead xbox which is a paper weight) I drive a Kia Spectra btw if anyone is wondering... 10yr/100k warranty Its a 2007 I got it brand new and I only have about 35000 miles i think.

well, i'm kind of sleepy. I didn't get much sleep last nite, I was up really late... more on that later. Its bed time...

till then....

PC gaming...

2009-04-04T08:21:00.005-05:00

Well, i've been really bored at work. My pc here sucks but its good enough to run the older games... I loaded the classic FPS of all time - DOOM. Man its been awhile since I played this. I spent hours on this when I was younger. Me and a friend loaded it on all the school PCs lol we also loaded some other like Wolfenstein and Raise of the Trade (that was a awesome multiplayer fps back in the day, we played that everyday on the school's PC lol) The best thing about back then, our teachers didn't care. They didn't know anything about these type of games. We had huge LAN games going on with every kid in PC class. Good times...

Back to the present, so yeah I loaded it on this PC. Its weird seeing DOS start up. I bet the majority of kids now days have no idea what DOS is lol. I've been playing DOOM on here for the past couple of days on and off. It sure looks different now I go back to it. The graphics were cutting edge back then... not so now.

Because of this all I decided to dust off DOOM 3 and loaded it on my PC. I didn't get why they called it DOOM 3 when it was a remake of DOOM. It gave it way better graphics and a much scarier environment.

I really loved DOOM as you can tell, and still do lol DOOM opened the FPS world to me.

Well, moving on. I've been playing WoW a lot more again. I'm almost 77 (good god its taking forever) I feel kind of like a n00b and shamed because i've been playing WoW since '04. I should have a few lv80s now... but i did take a break. Now i'm rested and back at full speed. I should be lv80 in no time and get my Tier 7 gear.

For my zombie buddies
I found a couple of awesome sites for zombie flash games
http://www.zombiegames.net/
http://www.killthezombies.com

check them out.javascript:void(0)

well, i really miss playing xbox 360... please click on those google ads and/or donate anything... $1.00 would help

i guess i should get back to work (if you call me sitting on my ass looking up stuff on the net work...) I really didn't want to wake up today... This job can be easy but its boring and you get treated like crap. I need something else...

all things... zombie

2009-04-03T11:07:00.002-05:00

I'm not sure how many of you zombie fans out there have been to this site or not:

i'm always looking up stuff about zombies... btw I just finished Day by Day Armageddon (A zombie novel). Wow... this is one awesome zombie book i've read. It really sucks you in and makes it feel real.

... still trying to get $$

2009-04-02T10:25:00.004-05:00

well, i only have $18 something on my Edgecard for gamestop... that is about $190 (after tax) i need to get to buy a new xbox (the arcade one) i've ran out of things to sell lol

i do have a extra controller i can sell i guess, since i'll be getting another w/ the system. not sure how much i can get that for.

I can also sell one of my Crate bass amps, its a comb with 1 15in speaker. It's still good, i only used it a handful of times. I was even thinking about selling my 5-string bass. I don't use either anymore really.

but...

you all can help simply by click those google ads... every click gets me a little $$ its not much but hey, i'll take it

or...

you can be a really nice person and donate any amount to me... don't make me drop to my knees and beg lol

Also, I saw some screenshots of Dead Rising 2... wow. I can't wait for that one, i saw them in the new gamer informer. also had a nice preview on bioshock 2, that looks good as well.

it looks to be a good year in games.

Starcraft 2
Splatterhouse
Dead Rising 2
Bioshock 2
Ghostbusters
Diablo 3 (? i haven't heard a date on it, is it this year?)
Batman
etc...

Jeff Gordon fires entire pit crew

This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of
President-elect Obama's scheme to employ Harlem youngsters.
The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on
how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels
in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, where as Gordon's
existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars
worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and
bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in
the pits. However, Gordon got more than he bargained for!
At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced
crew able to change all wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12
seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and
sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

New tech could make consoles obsolete? IDK

2009-03-25T16:00:00.001-05:00

Below is a news story i just read. It seems interesting but I doubt this will kill the console gaming. There have been others like this and they vanished... It sounds like a good idea, but just won't make it bigger then console gaming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New tech could make consoles obsoleteOnLive promises on-demand, streaming gamesBy Mike SmithADVERTISEMENTWhat if you could stream top-end games to your TV, just like a Youtube video that you can control? You'd never need to buy a console again.That's the future envisaged by Palo Alto startup OnLive, which plans to launch a groundbreaking gaming service this winter. OnLive will supply players with a small set-top box, not much bigger than a Nintendo DS, which will plug into your TV and your home broadband connection. From there, you can start playing games just like those on the Xbox 360, PS3 or PC -- but with no install time, no waiting for downloads, and no need for big, noisy, expensive consoles cluttering up your living room. OnLive's service can be continually upgraded, too, so you'll never be stuck with obsolete hardware again.Skeptical? So were we, until we actually sat down and played with an OnLive box last week. Even a blisteringly fast racer like Burnout Paradise was totally playable over the service, and top-spec shooter Crysis: Warhead -- which normally requires an expensive gaming PC -- ran excellently too. It's all rolled together with a slick interface that requires just a few button-presses to get playing.OnLiveOnLive PicturesOnLive also includes some features you might associate more with your DVR than with a gaming console, including a Replay feature that lets you save the last ten seconds of your gameplay, and send it to your friends.PC gamers aren't left out, either: OnLive's service can be accessed with a browser plugin from either Mac or PC platforms, works identically to the TV version, and has hardware requirements so low you'll be able, the company boasts, to play the most advanced of games on a $300 netbook.OnLive has already signed deals with an impressive range of partners -- including EA, Take-Two, and Ubisoft -- and promises to have an up-to-the-minute selection of games when the service launches. Along with Burnout and Crysis, we spotted Grand Theft Auto IV, LEGO Batman, and Mirror's Edge among the games on offer, although the lineup will likely change before the service launches.There's a catch, though. Being an online, streaming service, OnLive is only going to be as good as your Internet connection. High-definition resolutions will require a higher-end broadband connection, and if your service is prone to drop out unexpectedly, you're probably going to wind up frustrated. Even if it works, all that streaming video's going to add up over the months, and heavy users might find themselves the receipient of some unwelcome attention from their ISPs. Modem users, needless to say, need not apply.OnLive won't talk price, other than to say that they'll be competitive with subscription services like Xbox Live. The box itself is simple and cheap to make, they told us, and it's easy to imagine it being thrown in with subscriptions -- rather like a cable or satellite TV set-top box. Games will most likely be available to rent or buy, and with free demos that don't need to be downloaded.

360

2009-03-24T21:39:00.002-05:00

Well, all my stuff to repair my 360 came in the other day. I tried to repair it this afternoon... no luck. 3 red ring of death...

I'm going to try it again later... i was kind of depressed. I tried in halo 3 & my GH guitar controllers for in-store credit at gamestop... it only got me like $18.00 so, i still have a long ways to pay for the 199.99 arcade xbox (since all i have to do is put my HD onto it)

Please, if you can donate a little. It can really help, i'm also in the hole and barely making it as it is. I had to sell all my games... I only have Left 4 dead, street fighers 4 and gears of war (tried to sell it but it has little scratches) a 3 whole games now lol I had to sell others to get a little extra $$ to eat. Yeah, I sometimes have to go w/o eating or 1 little meal (canned food) a day... thats how bad it is...

anyways... I'm going to try again tomorrow and take some pics...

World of Warcrack

2009-03-23T09:46:00.004-05:00

well, i've been on WoW trying to lv up my main and others. I also made another toon, a blood elf warlock named Rastenlin (try to guess where i got that idea, they wouldn't let me use the real name of this person so i did something close)

I'm still waiting for my parts for the 360... once i get them (hopefully today) i'll work on it asap. Cross your fingers... i really want to play street fighter 4 (my ranking has most likely dropped.. (>.<) ) and Left 4 Dead.

ok, that is all for now. I'm at work, i get off at 1500hrs but i have to stick around till 1700hrs for my g/f aka Yarnhall thats what time she gets off.

looking foward to these...

2009-03-22T07:58:00.002-05:00

I have always been a Ghostbusters fan since first seeing it when I was a kid. I've played all the crappy Ghostbuster games that were out back in the day... man they were crappy, more so now that I look back on them.

This game looks amazing. I've been waiting for this since I first heard about it and its finally coming out in June! Check this trailer:

Great isn't it?

Now, for all those that have played this game back when they were kids (not many know about this game, I can't believe that!) but this is one game that I spent many hours playing, over and over... I heard about this new one last year and I was like a school girl at a Backstreet show.

Enough talk, more Splatter

This post is via my cell. Just wanted to let u all know ill be returning to WoW 2nite! I got a time card. But the 360 is still out..

hmmm.. jelly beans

2009-03-20T10:36:00.002-05:00

well, when I got into work this morning there was a 4lb jar of 41 Unique Flavor 'Gourmet' Jelly Beans sitting on my desk. I asked a co-worker who left these,,, answer: no idea...

I asked around and finally got a answer, the overnight guy that has a huge sweet tooth decided to leave them on my desk. I don't know if he meant too or wanted to share them w/ everyone... but i'm tempted to take a 'couple'... eh, why not lol

Also, I had 3 reports I need to file laying on my desk. Maybe the jelly beans are here to give me some energy lol

I am really getting tired of this job, all the crap, all the racism, the boredom, having to always be 'groomed' and this damn uniform.
I was thinking last night what i can do/want to do... I'm lost
I really do not know what to do...

Hmmmm, ponder on this I will

I know its hard at this time to get another job or start a business... I would love to do that. maybe it will happen... Because I'm really not sure how much longer I can take being at this place... everyday i just want to say i quite... i really wish i could.

its all a joke
Once you figure out what a joke everything is, being the comedian's the only thing that makes sense.

you know something? these jelly beans are pretty good...

just wanted to share

Operation - Fix 360

2009-03-19T13:23:00.005-05:00

Ok, last couple of days I've been working on getting my 360 fixed. (please donate so that i can buy a new one lol i'm not sure if this will work).

as you can tell from these photos, its all apart and i'm slowing working on lapping the sinks. My next plans are when those sinks are like mirrors, is to get the gpu and cpu nice and clean, put on some silver compound and attach them. after that i'll start it up and see if that takes care of the problem. I hope it does.

After all that, i'll sand the case a little.. cut a window on one side, paint it a nice dark metallic blue and paint the control the same color. Its going to look great!

what will become...

2009-03-17T10:14:00.004-05:00

Well, as you know from my other post; my xbox 360 had died... I'm going to try to fix it myself (no warranty) and the case. I've modded PCs before and well, why not my xbox? I won't do this to a new one w/ a warranty and I don't recommend anyone doing that...

I'll post photos and updates of the progress. It might take a little while to get it the way I have planned.

Now, to the left a little ways down you'll find a donate button from paypal. Pls if you can, donate; even if its just 1 dollar. This will help me out a ton not only to get a new xbox but help me out with all my house problems, etc...

Now, if you have a old xbox w/o a warrenty I recommend the following products to mod your case (do this only if you know what your doing, there are various guides around the internet):

....bored

2009-03-15T14:22:00.003-05:00

Like my Logo? hehe

well, life w/o my 360 or WoW isn't the same... Hopefully i can get a new prepaid card for WoW soon.

I've been playing since '04, as my little WoW box down to the left states... I took a little break (leveling to 80 kind of drove me crazy lol) and started to do some other toons... then I decided to take a break all together... and the day I was about to come back was when my time was up... which is also the day my 360 died... it was Friday 13th... figures.. lol

anyway
Last nite I went w/ my friend Rance Adams (TXA/UPN 21 host) to help w/ covering a MMA fight by XKO. I did such a good job, the production ppl asked me to do not only those events but there other events like PCW (much like ECW)... so im excited about that. Rance was going to have me work more with him as well doing some video/music editing and being a camera guy on a few things.

well... just wanted to make a post... i'm bored sitting here at work.

To all my xbox 360 buds and people i've ran across... if your reading this, I'll return as soon as I get a new xbox or if i can fix this one. (going to try to do it myself.. what do i have to lose? its out of warranty anyway)

my xbox 360,,, is dead

2009-03-14T13:46:00.003-05:00

Well, I've gone through about 3 or 4 xbox 360s; all which were shipped off in coffins and repaired. But yesterday, after about 2-3years of working ok... my xbox died... and I have no warranty...

Lets start with a few months back...

I noticed every now and then my xbox would mess up, either weird looking screen:

Or 1 red ring followed by the E74 screen... or no video at all...

But, it always worked it's self out when I restarted...

This has been going on for a little while... recently no video has been coming up almost everytime I start my xbox... I just restarted once or twice then bam, its back. Rarely the screen was messed up and I got the E74 maybe a couple of times...

Yesterday, I turned my xbox on... no video, no problem i'll restart it...nothing, restart again... nothing

I even went out early this morning and spent a little over $15.00 on a new cable... that was a waste of money.. it didn't work. I tried everything... display reset, switched from normal av to hd... nothing..

I read some things online and others have had this... something w/ the video output just dies due to overheating, playing to much, etc...

It will cost over $100 w/o warranty... I rather just go out and buy a new one... which i'll be doing when i get the $$ at some point... till then... no more street fighter 4... no left 4 dead... no halo, no netflix, no acarde games... nothing.. oh and to top it off... my WoW time card is used up,,, and i don't have the money atm to get another... yay.

I still have my old xbox, but no games (i sold them all) but at least i can watch dvds because i relied on my 360 to watch them.. and HD-DVDs which will just have to sit there...

ok this is long enough... i'll stop here and have a moment of silence for my falling friend.... *sob*

Quarantine

2009-03-13T10:46:00.003-05:00

Ok, I never went to the theaters to see the move, Quarantine. I never really looked into it, and I heard some mixed reviews at first and it kind of just.. faded away from my thoughts.

The other day, I decided to rent it because of a guy that I play Left 4 Dead with recommended it to me. I was like, hmmmm I totally forgot about that movie. Well, I logged into my netflex account and rented it.

I must say, I was kind of impressed by it. It was way better then I thought. Yes, I know i'm a little late w/ this review but hey I just wanted to let all my fellow zombie/horror fans that haven't seen this know, its not all that bad.

Its good enough for me to buy it and add it to my collection!

It never really comes out and says 'zombies' but you can tell that's what is going on. I might even rent the original movie titled '[REC]' (its a spainish film) just to see how well of a remake they did.

RE5

2009-03-12T01:03:00.003-05:00

Its finally here!

The game looks sweet and amazing. I'll be for sure getting it once i get some $$ for it (for 360 of course hehe)
I'm even tempted to buy the RE5 xbox lol

Once I get it i'll be posting a full review of it... whenever that is lol

till then, get the game and see what you think of it yourself!

2009-03-11T19:20:00.003-05:00

Ok, yes another post today. Hey! i'm at work bored...

now then...
As you can tell by the left side (my playerID banner), I play xbox360.
Feel free to add me to your list...

I really like playing Left 4 Dead and always looking for fellow zombie fans to go zombie hunting with.

heck, join my zombie group (link can be found under the 'link' box to the right, a couple of boxes down)

well, I'm listed to work till 9pm.. its 7:30pm.. but guess what? i'm sneaking out of here lol

Byeeeeeeeee

(this is where you scroll down with your eyes)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Regional Manager,
Barclays Bank of Ghana,
Tema Branch.

Greetings to you,

My name is Jerry Nana, I am the regional manager of Barclays bank of Ghana Tema Branch. Am writing you this mail for something very important; I am happily married with four lovely kids. I have been a banker for almost 12 years.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the regional manager of my branch it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business year.

On the course of the last year 2008 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars($7.500,000)USD. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account, this account is strictly for onward transfer, with no beneficiary.

As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money in any way, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 40% of the total funds as commission, while 60 percent comes back to me. I placed you on 40% because I believe this business now belongs to the both of us, and your efforts and support is highly going to be involved as well.

Up till date, no one has the knowledge of the $7.500,000usd you are about to receive in your bank account, and no one will ever know of it.

All you need to do is stand and claim as the original depositor and beneficiary of the fund in my branch so that my head office can order the transfer of the fund to your designated bank account. There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank transfer.

From the day you applied, within 6 days the money should have been transferred and cleared in your account if all things work out well. Then I will get back my 60% through any means we find best to do so.

Please note that all I need from you is your trust and sincerity as to seeing this through.

Am expecting your soonest reply as to enable us start doing something about this immediately

I wait to recevied your massage

Mr.Jerry Nana

General Growth misses payments -- baltimoresun.com

2009-02-13T12:41:00.001-06:00

This is the company I work with.

General Growth misses payments
Bloomberg News February 13, 2009
General Growth Properties Inc., the U.S. shopping mall owner with $900 million in loans due yesterday, remains in talks with its lenders, a spokesman said.

"We continue to talk to all of our lenders, and as soon as we have something to announce, we will do so," Tim Goebel, a spokesman for the Chicago-based company, said yesterday in an interview.

General Growth, which owns several local malls, including Harborplace and The Gallery, Towson Town Center and The Mall in Columbia, is also Columbia's master developer.

General Growth had extended until yesterday payment of a $650 million loan on the Fashion Show Mall and a $250 million loan on the Shoppes at the Palazzo, both in Las Vegas. The loans originally were due in November, and both properties have been up for sale since October. General Growth has said it might have to file for bankruptcy protection if it's unable to refinance debt.

General Growth also missed a deadline yesterday to pay a $57.6 million loan on Chico Mall, a 500,000-square-foot shopping mall in Chico, Calif. Monday, it missed the deadline on a $95 million loan on Oakwood Center, a 360,000-square-foot mall in Gretna, La.

The company also missed a Feb. 1 deadline to pay a $225 million secured short-term loan obtained in October and November. That loan can be extended for 60 days at the discretion of the lender, which General Growth didn't identify, according to a Nov. 10 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

General Growth stock fell or 8.8 percent to 62 cents at the close of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. The company's shares have plunged 98 percent in the past year, cutting its stock market value to $192.6 million.

General Growth, with more than 200 malls in 44 states, is the largest U.S. shopping mall owner, after Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc.

Morning Surprise

2009-02-11T10:15:00.001-06:00

Well, just a few mins ago we had a interesting surprise...

Me and hall both heard this banging type sound in the laundry room. I went to check it out, as i got closer I heard something inside the room. I turned the light on and bam, a squirrel came flying at me and got me on the leg, I'm not sure if he tried to bite me or it was his claws but it felt like something cut me. Then he jumped around the kitchen then onto a blind then jumped off toward hall then ran into the hall way then to our bedroom. As it was in our bedroom, we quickly grabbed the cats and put them in another room and closed the door. Right after that, the little guy ran through the living room but seemed a lot more calm then at first. He then ran back into the laundry room and jumped back up into the attic.

It was interesting...

This was a nicely feed squirrel... lol
