YES! I found it!

I have been looking for one piece of paper for months! MONTHS!

And I found it at 3:40AM because I am an insane insomniac and I am trying to fiddle with Lightwave 3D again.

I don't really get why I don't do things at normal times like other people!


Oh well... I really hope I have something to show for this soon.

P.S. In case you were wondering it was a drawing of a custom Mobile Suit. It does not have a name or model number yet, nor a universe to fit it in. I just think it looks awesome though.

I'm all over the damn place...

D&D went well on Tuesday. The party did not get far, they like to socialize as much as adventure. But I am pleased with their reaction to the tower. They were mystified by the blue orb that transported them, and intrigued by the interior of the tower. (Though they have yet to figure out it's nature. The floor they are on is actually very mundane.)

I reinstated my wow account. God that was a bit of a mistake. Now I will never accomplish anything when I can mindlessly run around Azeroth believing I am fulfilling something... Why is that game so addictive?

So when I am not playing Half Life 2, Bioshock or WoW I am trying to learn how to model in Lightwave. And it is so hard! The controls are really damn particular. Like if you select a group of points clockwise or counter clockwise it will affect which direction the frickin surface will show up. And I really wish that it would just do both and save me some god damn time.

And of course I try starting on the head of the Mobile Suit I want to create and I like start on the main camera's housing and then fail...

I want to eventually do what Sandrum does, http://anaheimmachines.blogspot.com/ His work is amazing no matter how much he depreciates it. Sure having a grasp on lightwave really helps, but what he does is just art.

I really want to model these mobile suits:

F90
I really like the Fix Figuration version of this, but this mobile suit is just cool with all of the options

F90 II
The long range version of this is really hot...

F91
This was one of my first UC kits and I have always loved this MS

RX-99
The Neo Gundam with its' huge G-BIRD gun

RXF-91\A
Anaheim's knock off the F91, I fell in love when I got the model

F90-Y
It screams support Gundam, plus it still has all it's hard points (though it doesn't have any parts for them of it's own) I want to start with this one

RGM-109
The vastly understated Heavy Gun (I LOVE YOU BERTO!!!)

RGM-111
The Hardy Gun, it is beautiful and deadly looking and ready for mass production

F71
The clunky cannon from F91 I want to try to make it look better :P

So once i get more practice and I do not feel embarrassed of something I create in Lightwave it will be up here. Don't hold your breathe.

It is amazing...

So yesterday I got my computer parts!






I pretty much put it together in like an hour and a half. My biggest trouble was with the Heatsink Fan for the cpu, it was mad hard to put in and I was afraid that the mobo was going to break.




I thought I was going to take pictures of everything, lol but I kinda forgot as I was putting everything together.




So everything works awesome, I maxed out wow, half life 2 and bioshock. I have to install Mass Effect still.


So these are my parts:

Antec 900 Case
OCZ 700w PSU
Q9400 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad Core
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775
8g G.Skill DDR2 800
640g WD 7200 Sata HD

I will post pictures of the comp running soon

You will probably think I am crazy....


But I find Paul Giamatti really hot!

Granted not all the time. Some times his facial hair gets way too crazy. But when its in check he is really hot! I love facial and body hair on a man. So I was in love when I was watching Lady in the Water.

Surprisingly I did not recognize him in Duplicity. But I kept watching him and saying he is really hot and looks really familiar what the hell!

(I suck at blogging :P)

Dungeon Mastering Is Not Easy

It is Friday, we play again on Tuesday!

On top of that I ordered my computer parts last night at 3am and now that is all I can think about. I did pick out a cheaper GPU and a more expensive CPU, but that is all I changed. Also last night I was considering buying EQ 2 you can get all the expansions and the game for 28$ but I think I should try the free trial first.

So I can not focus at all today!!!!!

Currently my players are in an underground city that seems to have been abandoned mysteriously. They have encountered a cryptic wizard who is trying to figure out what happened to the city and he has tasked them with venturing into a tower at the city's center.

They are mostly fighting the city's malfunctioning security system, it summons creatures that seem to be illusions but are physical. And they just reached the base of the tower.

My current frustration is mapping out the tower itself with out making the exploration boring and the battles. They are searching for artifacts for the wizard too (he is looking for something to unlock the tower he is in).

So the players will find evidence that whatever happened to the city it was self inflicted by a group if its citizens. They will also find evidence of a struggle, parts of the tower destroyed.

When they reach the top of it one of the characters will be destroyed in an event. (Actually the character I run) The Dragonborn Paladin. He will be interfaced with the city itself. And through him it will speak to them. They will learn that Dr. Bannon who they have all agreed upon finding and bringing to justice was there. He had been in the very room where he appropriated a dragonborn skeleton and took a sample of the blue water that flows through the city.

lol So there is this huge gap betwen the top floor where the Paladin is killed and the foot of the tower. I only have one floor mapped out and I am going to work on more now. Rambling about it helps though I swear. :P
