I exist. I play video games. There you go.

Reveal #2 as to the revival of the blog

Hope that you enjoyed the music. Now, to reveal I stated that the blog will actually be revived. This week, I decided to finally take the plunge and enter the world of video capture cards. So, I went and bought this little beauty, the Hauppauge HD-PVR Gaming Edition.

So far, I’m only in the testing phase, however, there are streams planned for the future. Until then, enjoy these views of tests that I’ve done.

The revival of the blog.

It has been quite some time since I have utilized this blog, no? Well, a movement is coming, and that movement will likely have me blogging much more than before. That movement will be revealed in a bit. However, first, some music.

Enjoy the sounds of Video Games Live, a concert I attended while I was at E3.

Enter Darth Seferia!

Well, this past week, SWTOR finally launched and I embraced it with arms wide open.  This game is turning out to be exactly what I had hoped for, a wonderful adventure for me to embrace my Dark Side and become a Sith.  Yep, yep.

A Jedi Padawan has already fallen under the might of my light saber.  For, I am an evil Sith Inquisitor and have no qualms about being such.  For now, I plan to DPS, so I’m going to abuse this to get some notes for what I plan and plot.  Mmm-hmm.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=778 – very important that I never forget this.

Also, I should most certainly hold onto this:

Not having a good week.

Well, things started off good this week. I’ve been using Dance Central 2 to do cardio workouts at home, which has been quite enjoyable. I was overall having a good time settling into my new modding position at Capcom. I laughed at many jokes from both my fellow co-workers and moderators. Then, things went downhill fast.

I sadly have lost my wallet and doubt I’ll ever see it again. It had all my credit cards and my driver’s license. It also had my health insurance card. I’m certain that I will never see that wallet again…

So, on Tuesday, I spent a good part of the evening calling my various financial services to tell them that my cards were lost and possibly stolen. Luckily, nothing erroneous had been charged on them. However, I currently can’t buy anything..

Then, I came into work late yesterday since I wanted to stop by the DMV and get a replacement driver’s license. At least the wait was quick. I was in and out within an hour. However, it was still a pain that I had to do that at all.

Oh well, on the upside, I spent last night watching the Big Lewboski with Chump on Netflix Xbox Live party. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

It is definitely getting cold out there.

I swear, I really should use this more often.  It’s sometimes fun to ramble on around here.  I know no one reads this, but it’s still fun to babble around like an idiot and just babble.

Anyway, November has definitely brought in the cold around these parts.  I definitely think that I’ll bring a coat with me to work tomorrow.  I’m thinking one of my nice and comfy lamb skin leather coats.  So nice and soft.

Meanwhile, I’ve recently become a blue at Capcom’s official forums.  So, yay, I think I’m certifiably insane!  However, I love my Monster Hunter crew, so I don’t mind spending time to help out the site.

Screwing up your own website isn’t good

Thank goodness I am competent enough to figure out how to clean up my own mistakes.

This morning, I decided to go ahead and update my phpbb in the halcyon folder of my site. Well, it didn’t go too well. First, the site had a fatal error, which I tried to figure out. I unzipped files a few times, tried to figure out the line error, then gave up.

So, I tried to have fantastico update the forum’s files… Well, to say the least, that didn’t have the intended effect. All the files for my forums vanished at that point. Hence, I was left with next to nothing to try to recover.

Luckily, I had backups. So, I decided to purge it all and reinstall the forum. At first, I was a bit stuck because the database information was unknown to me. Thus, I wasted a bunch of time trying various options to get that to work. At long last, I had it up and running.

And those backups helped me recover years of roleplay and make it all nice and pretty so Kat won’t know a thing unless she reads this… or asks where the quick reply went. I’ll get on finding a new quick reply mod later.

Hopefully the end of annoyances

Well, the last few days have been a bit hectic. Sadly, crosswinds has been under attack by nefarious forces, and my site has been caught in the crossfire. The attacks have made 500 errors pop up frequently enough and so on. However, it feels like things are settling down.

I’ve also dealt with a BuddyPress update which wrecked havoc on my previous templates and theme. So, I’ve spent some time cleaning up the damage that was caused. At this point, I think things are looking rather nice.

I also should use this more.
