ravnos

*Exits lurk mode. Coughs up some dust* Well then. Seems like there's been some changes. Hola folks. I've been keeping up with Teros via phone, so he knows my thoughts on all of this... just kind of reintroducing myself via his thread since we're in the midst of a challenge and saying hi, I'm back. Going to be getting my diet and workouts sorted out and then I'll officially be participating in the next challenge. Just figured I'd get my stuff sorted out first. I'll update this with a thread once I post one (nothing wrong with joining mid-challenge). Hope everyone I know is doing well, and to anyone I don't... Hi. I'm ravnos. The resident asshole. See you all on the flip side. Here's my mid-challenge thread: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/70061-ravnos-joins-mid-challenge-for-some-motivation-and-ass-kicking/

Haaaiiii guys. Just an update: I'm not dead. I just started a new job this week (insert image of success Teros here), so things are super-busy-hectic right now (in a good way). So, I'm taking a break from here for a bit. If you want to get in touch PM me, those go to my email, so I'll get them and hop on to respond! Or bug Teros, he can get in touch with me. He has the magic.

INXS?

May the Viv be with you.

I've played a lot of Don't Starve but haven't tried Don't Starve Together yet.... I should do that.

High-five fellow Yoda. Though I'm also very much Chewbacca and Luke...

I've been playing a bunch the last two days. Been favoring Melee Assassin (Kerrigan) but want to try out a few different characters as the free rotation changes. Melee Warrior (Muradin) was decent too. Wasn't a fan of support or Ranged Assassin so much.

Due to a semi-large gift from a friend, I spent part of this week playing a bunch of new stuff: Neo Scavenger - turn-based survival game. Pretty fun. High learning curve but once you figure it out/look up a guide it gets super interesting. Even then, it's pretty easy to die. Early release, so they're still making a lot of changes to it. Banished - Post-apocalyptic civ game. pure real-time strategy, but you're rebuilding civilization, so there's more of a focus on building a community rather than tech advancement. Merchants of Kaidan - Weird game. You're a merchant trying to avenge your fathers death and dishonor, so you start from nothing building a trading... company? Route? Something like that. It's an economics game, buy in one city sell in another. Kind of engaging. FarSky - Minecraft underwater. You're a underwater researcher whose sub crashes and you have to build up a base, collect resources and find the parts of your sub to escape. STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl - Just got into it. Modded the graphics, looks pretty fun as hell so far. Heroes of the Storm - Was bored trying to figure out some stuff and was added NF people on Battle.Net and decided to check it out. Way more fun than I expected (I've never played a MOBA). Don't know how long it will hold my attention though. I have also acquired the reboot of Gauntlet, might check that out over the weekend.

Nice. Enhancement was one of the only non-hunter specs I enjoyed played for any class. That and demon lock.

My fiancee power levels just by dungeon running. Got her shaman from 1-100 in a couple days as well. You still end up in the same boat of crappy gear and a long-slog to 635 iLevel though. It took her almost a month to get from 585 to 648... and that's with doing LRF every week once she was able to. I'm like, 90% sure I'm going to start playing again in a few months (I need to buy WoD... and a new computer for my fiancee, she plays on mine because hers can't run the game anymore), so I made note of all your battletags. Mine is ravnos#1547. I'll be playing a Horde hunter on Blackrock, and an Alliance hunter on Sargeras, both named Daudsfall...

Kind of secretly hoping this happens now because I'm an evil bastard. I'm also picturing Teros with a wolverine beard and reverse mohawk now (shaved down the center of his head, but the rest of his hair untouched)... because that's obviously the route this would take. And it's hilarious.

I'm totally jealous of your beard. I grew mine out for about 6 months once and it just looked... no.

My fiancee is trying to talk me into playing again. I quit during Mists because ugh. Always played an Orc Hunter. What I miss about the game is hanging out with a really cool guild but I find they are incredibly difficult to find these days. Guilds just don't DO anything together it seems. Though some of the current content looks fun.

Beat Fallout New Vegas (finally) and started working toward the end of Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2. Basically just trying to finish collecting items and do the Kleidos challenges before I go do the last 20 minutes or so of the actual game (Yeah that's where I'm at). Might start playing Witcher after that, got the first two a while ago and thought they looked super interesting. Kind of which it had controller support though. Fallen London looks super fun, but I don't know how long this type of game will hold my interest.

I am recovered! Well, lingering sore throat but fuck that noise. Back into the gym today. UNTIL THEN: http://www.stereogum.com/1800663/stream-faith-no-more-sol-invictus/mp3s/ New fucking Faith No More, because that's all that matters this week. Saw Avengers 2 over the weekend. Fun time. Much more excited for Mad Max later this month.

You sir, are a rogue and a scoundrel. Of the best sort.

Eerily accurate.

Haha sorry, been sick! Been resting up mostly. Feeling much better today though, planning on hitting the gym.

Just finished Fallout New Vegas, highly recommended. I'm also trying to figure out what to play next...

Alrighty - EoW update? Did strength training 3 days this week. Didn't get all my meditation and yoga in but that's "okay." Going back into work on Monday so I'm going to restructure my morning routine tomorrow. Yesterday was my cheat but I stayed pretty healthy up until dinner. Had 2.5 glasses of wine, a glass of scotch, 2 6" sub rolls with meatballs and sauce on one and sausage with peppers and onions on the other (I made all of it) and a piece of ice cream cake. That was after walking almost 6 miles around the city traveling to different comic shops for Free Comic Book Day with my friend, then watching all three Mad Max movies... Good Times. I'm still waiting to hear about the new job, which is getting ridiculous. I said May 1 was the cut off date, so I started job searching again. Applied for about 10 positions on Friday. This job could still come through, and I would still accept it, but I can't keep waiting. Need forward momentum. Thinking about having a yard sale at the end of the month. Things to sell: Vinyl Comics old PC games Books? ??? Not sure what else I'd put out... that's not really much in the grand scheme of things. I just haven't had much luck trying to sell any of it on Craigslist or Ebay. Getting sick of having it all just sitting around but every time I mention just donating it my Fiancee yells at me because "It's worth money." Found out the issue of X-Force I own that features the first appearance of Deadpool is selling for anywhere form $1k-$5k currently. Going to sell my copy since I don't really care... will wait till close to the movie though because it's only going to go up in price. Finished Fallout: New Vegas finally. I've owned the game since the day it was released in 2010(!) but just NEVER got around to completing it. So I sat down and focused on it for a while. There's some side-content I didn't complete but I'm happy with it. Now I need to figure out what to play next. Probably one of the other 70 games I've started but never finished... I think that's it for now... onward to better eating and working out! Have to run errands today, which will include a 1-mile Farmer's Walk with 20lb jugs of cat litter... haha.

Wow old school Finger Eleven, when they didn't suck... I did another 100 High Knees on Friday... walked 6 miles yesterday so I didn't do anymore...

Happy birthday you bastard. And bacon wrapped dates are amazing. A restaurant near me does them stuffed with cheese, called Devils on Horseback... I need to get around to trying to make them myself.

Whiskey muffins topped with bourbon ice cream?

It's much more delicious than you think.
