Regsion defeated Shadowrun:Dragonfall. There was much rejoicing. I’ve started to do a could detail sketches to figure out what is going where. The funny bit is, this is the first time in forever that I’ve actually planned art before doing it.
Ociandin hit the big 50 for Anarchy Online. Unfortunately she had a solid 170 left to go if I go all out. I don’t know that she’ll make it that far. I figure I’ll probably keep her subscribed long enough to look cool and not a moment longer. While AO holds a special place in my heart, it makes the grind of WoW look like exciting.

Lola Peal is back flying the verse. Got a good deal on a 90 day subscription, so thats the minimum of her shelf life.

Bite and earthy.

…so for my portrait series I’ve reinstalled Neverwinter Nights and Arcanum. My meta-physicist Ociandin in AO is just shy of level 50. Since Dragonfall is owned there’s no rush there. I got a resubscribe offer for Eve which is good enough I’m totally looking at so I can kick the dust off of Lola Peal.
The problem is WoW. Do I want to get a hold of customer service to get a new password and dehook my old phone? I kinda don’t. I mean while I played a good amount of WoW, it never felt like the characters were their own people. I never made a moral choice. I never made a… well rarely… made a fashion choice. Hell, I feel more connected to my characters from long defunct Star Wars Galaxies. I think that’s why I never had the same love for Blizzard, as a solo player, there never was much in the way of choice. No freewill.

Regsion – doing a dwarf seems hard. How do I convey the size without a person to compare. Now, currently he’s a bachelor, but given time I might have cause to add a companion. Otherwise, I’m thinking a city scene with people in the background, whip out some perspective action and voila!

Ociandin – thinking the weasel painting for her, using her manifestations as the weasel.

Drinking dining out for life.
All barrel aged tequila
Celestial Reposado – …

Well nevermind. It wasn’t dine or for life. I forgot to review. The important thing is… The place was delicious. The tequila was tasty.

Start small and go bigger with time. Maybe it’s the success I’ve been having with Duolingo. Either way, I need to make myself above every day. Maybe chive up with a shoe system. Gamify. Though really, I think the very idea of gamifying stuff hurts my heart.

My Meta-Physicist is something like 30 now. I’m eating through enemies like it’s butter. I’m really not sure what change it was that’s helping finally do this. I’ve off and on played Anarchy Online for something like most of my majority. The thing is, I just get burned out. Maybe is the goal.
Oh. Did I mention the goal. I’m going to do a painting series. Call it something like End Game. But basically it’s going to be ancestor family portraits of all my  characters in various games at end game. This isn’t to say end game in the very serious player standard but my own. As an example, Lola Peal of Eve still be there as I finally managed to start rocking a Dominix, which was my eventual goal. It was a bad goal, but it was a goal. It turns out, I really don’t like flying a ship that large and slow. It also looks like an slug. And has a signature radius of a small moon. Now I’m just waiting for the right time to fire up Eve again and frame a great picture. Maybe do a quick flight or two.
Unfortunately, not all characters have survived. I have no idea if I’ll be able to rescue Kriminel or Anethesia from the depths of Blizzard. Guild Wars 1 May out Matt not be accessible. There is no more Star Wars Galaxies. We’ll see how these portraits go, and where they stop. Does Fallout New Vegas deserve portraits? What about Never Winter Nights? I’d have to pay both of these games again, just to get to that point.
