Yeah. Little creepy, a little machine-ist. Kinda matrixy. Still kinda hot for a cartoon girl... I liked it. ;D

for some reason, 7 or 9 from Star Trek: Voyager popped in my head when I saw that pic. *shrugs*

Have a happy holiday season everyone (Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Festivus, etc)

I hope everything is going good for you all.

Definitely way too long since I have logged on here or posted!

Since Dec I have done some work for the MxO Source emulator project in recreating missions. I have been off that for a few months, but wanting to get back to that. We also bought a house and had a baby boy! So that is where most of my time has gone.

Possible fight in 3 weeks so I have been back to training, too. US vs Canada!

I hope to hear from some of you. I hope all is well.

[Variel]

CANADA! Our nemesis! ...Not really, but you should definitely have someone wrap you in an American flag after you win.

Congrats on all the cool life stuff! I have been meaning to check out the emulator, but I can't seem to get it installed or whatever. Qui, God bless, has been trying to walk me through it, but I'm kind of a loser unless something is fully plug-and-play. -_- Maybe someday!

Wound up fighting a kid from NY. Was winning the first 2 rounds until I got kicked in the face. Nose broken and stitches. Good fight though. Back on my feet already.

[Variel]

=O Sounds brutal, but glad to hear you're better!

I got super burned out on WoW a couple of weeks ago, so I cancelled my sub. I felt bad, it was just as Tyg reached max level and finally got to the place where we could play! But the game was feeling super old and boring, plus a lot of crummy drama with Trust people, so I just threw in the towel.

Next week: vacation in Hawaii!

[Vesuveus]

I heard WOW lost 600k subscription, about 5% of their population. Must be winding down to a new expansion pack.

Enjoy Hawaii and the $9 gas. Got anything planned other than snorkeling?

Hey everyone

It's been a while since I dropped in here. Hope things are going good for everyone. Ouch on the nose V.

Like Variel, I am slowly getting burned out with WoW a little and will probably let my sub expire here soon to take a few months off. With work and school, I do not have that much time to really play anyway and cannot commit to planned events in there.

For my life, things are going good. Just got a raise. Been here a year already. yikes. Things are going good with the life too. Been dating the same girl for 22 months now. just took a 5 day mini vacation and did some relaxing

[Variel]

Hey Tyg! Glad to hear that things are going well for you! I actually don't miss WoW at all, which is so weird. I was so into it for a couple of years, and then I just completely lost interest.

While I'm waiting for The Old Republic to come out, I've been having fun playing Rift. I like the design a lot more than WoW's--it's a little edgier and adult feeling. And they have raids and stuff, but with all the world events, you can get the experience of spontaneously whaling on a huge world raid boss without going through all the gear/recount pissing match crap that makes people in WoW act like such douches.

...

lol, guess it's obvious why I got sick of WoW!

[Vesuveus]

Glad to hear things are going well. What'd you do for your vacation? My vacation time will be family visits. I guess I should start saving for the Disney vacation when the little ones get old enough.

I, too, am waiting for Star Wars: TOR to come out. The trailer looked awesome. In the meantime, I am keeping eyes on the MxO emulators. I was writing some missions for them a few months back, but my free time dwindled. Now I'm planning my next fight for next month and training again. I am getting eager to wear a belt!

[tygrius]

What did I do? hmm..

Well on Friday (day 1) I went to garage sales then went to a drive in double feature. Saturday was spent at Indiana Beach. Sunday I slept in, did some yard work, then went to a fireworks show. Monday was a party at my uncles house (July 4th), then Tuesday I just relaxed, caught a movie, and spent some 1-on-1 time with the gf.

[Vesuveus]

Nice and relaxing. I'll probably take the wife to see the new harry potter this wkd.

Travel vacations are stressful, especially with gas and airline being so expensive nowadays.

[Vesuveus]

I'm getting ready for a fight in Sept. We ordered some tshirts for my fight team which I made the graphics for along with another guy. I used CorelDraw which is a vector based graphics program. It took about an hour to get used to the new program, but I already love it. Vector based graphics are super easy to resize images without ANY pixelation. Good for making graphics and then enlarging them for tshirts. And I ordered some fight shorts with my name on them. pics will come.

Other than that, work, wife and babies are good. The new one is teething. yay

[tygrius]

break out the rum...

for you or the baby....i wont judge.
