Fucked Up Monkey Meat wants you!

Mar28

You may be asking yourself what exactly is Fucked Up Monkey Meat, and you’d be right to do so.

What FUMM is, is an elite group of gamers who just like ridiculing the serious nature of clans and guilds.

We play Naval Combat and we pwn at it.

Some more member would be handy so as to pwn more.

You’ll also need to sign up to xfire to make good use of this, but it’s worth it.

So go to FUMM and sign up or something.

We also have need for a picture of some FUMM as a logo, if you could help us out that’d be just swell.

Oh and come to Respawn v7 next month for some Naval Combat shenanigans!

[edit] Also Dongs! [/edit]

[response] Zardoz> dongs?! !HWHEREH!?!?!?! OH SHIT NO [/response] FTW!

Noctis Personae is coming!

Mar28

Just a heads up to people that the Australian Camarilla’s yearly event Wintercon is just around the corner.
Due to Melbourne hosting it again it’s reverted back to the name of Noctis and it’s on.

Details can be found over at this place the official website for it.

We’ve got some interesting times planned with two games each of Mage: The Awakening, Vampire: The Requiem, Changeling: The Lost, and Werewolf: The Forsaken lined up.

I’ve tried to be involved with organising things, but to be honest I think my input’s being ignored, so if anything goes wrong it’s not my fault ok.

After a year of being the only local Mage storyteller I’m now playing things again, helping if needed but mainly just playing.

Anyway more people should make things interesting, come specifically to Mage and Changeling, I want to prove that those are better than Vampire as a draw-card.
You might even get to meet Mr. Jack, he has Cake.

I can be so lazy sometimes I forget to waste time.

Jan23

Well it’s been quite an interesting past months indeed, so much that I was too lazy for this, even on those days I was being extra lazy.

Anyway, GuildWars: Eye of the North was released, and it is indeed grand. I even purchased the GotY upgrade thingy for the core game, granting me a heap of pointless weapons, just ’cause I could.

I have a pre-paid visa now, it lets me buy things without letting people leach all my money (well not all of it).

I moved from my place up in Coburg down to share a flat with my dad in Oakleigh. This place is cool in the summer due to awesome brick walls, you shall worship them now.

My car is fully functional and people have been taking a lot of advantage of that. But no more, you want me to drive you somewhere you hand over petrol money up front. That’s fair.

Hellgate: London was released here on the 30th of October. I have been playing a lot of it and enjoying it, so much so that I shelled out the clams required to become a Founder, which allows me to be an elitist prick and lord it over everyone.
Fear my lifetime subscription!

Just recently we hosted the January Premium Weekend for the Camarilla, it went well, no PCs died as a result of my actions and everyone seemed satisfied with it.

I suppose I should post more, but well I want to play some more Hellgate. I mean Stonehenge just got released for it 😀

Just two weekends past, Respawn v6 was held up at Bundoora. Now if I was ignorant of how much gamers like porn, I wasn’t afterwards. I must have uploaded something like 50 or so gigs of straight porn.
I wasn’t advertising or anything, people just like porn.

I also got to play some Naval Combat with my new clan/cult, FUMM, AKA Fucked Up Monkey Meat.
So far this only involves my previous housemate Vortex Vandle, but we managed to scrounge up a couple of randoms so we could stick it to the admins. Due to rules changing and not being clear and whatnot, things didn’t really go anywhere. But we so pwned them good.

Vortex also liked bread.

So until later, when I might even be wearing pants, adios!

Guild Wars – Eye of the North, preview weekend.

Aug26

Well since Friday night when it began up till now other than sleep and things, I’ve been playing the preview of GWEN. Early verdict is it’s quite polished with a lot of promise.

Basically Arena.net have learned from Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall and implemented all the best things together for the first true expansion.

The way to Eye of the North involves going through a fissure outside of Lion’s Arch, having a brief run in with some creatures named Destroyers who are revealed as antagonists. Then you have to trek to the Eye, from there the storyline branches into 3 paths, all required. One with the ex-ascalonian Vanguard, another with the intriguing race known as the Asura (I have a mini-pet of one,) and the final path with a giant-like race known as the Norn.
Only the Norn path is open till next week-end.

As for heroes, well there are quite a few it seems, and no longer do we have to make sure they’re in our party if needed for a cut-scene or some such, they’re assumed to have been travelling with you in a party.
So far I’ve collected a dwarven monk, an asuran elementalist, an ascalonian mesmer and a norn warrior.

As for the so called Hall of Monuments, it only begins with 1 tapestry within it’s walls which works with title tracks, the other tapestries are quest rewards and such, giving you the option to customise mini-pets, display armour and weapons and even heroes if you’ve upgraded their armour.
All in all very cool and I look forwards to seeing how this will be integrated towards Guild Wars 2 next year.

Anyway now I’ve said all this, it’s 10am and I think I should finally sleep for like 4 hours so I can get back to playing GWEN some more. A very sleepless weekend indeed.

AmK.

The Restore the Lost and the Damned to 40k petition!

Aug25

Ok, basic situation.
A few years back, there was a little campaign called Eye of Terror. Games Workshop released rules that enabled people to field a Lost and the Damned force, the true aspect of the Chaos forces.
We all rejoiced for it was made of gold and win.

That time is at an end.

Basically due to such things as the new 40k Chaos(Renegade) Space Marines they’ve decided to declare the Lost and the Damned list as no longer valid.

Thus to show your support for the forces of Chaos, please sign the petition located here.

Let the corporate suits know how your wallet feels before we all bow down and worship Forgeworld.

That is all.

Internets are still slow.

Jul1

Well here I am sitting here at 2am on a Sunday, why? you ask.
The answer is simple, I’m waiting for the month to tick over at Optus and for my connection to go back to full speed.

Of course that’s not all I’ve been doing. Even played a few hours of GuildWars earlier tonight. I had no idea there were repeatable quests, how odd.

Had me some good pasta just before.

But when the bandwidth ticks over I’ll know it and will be able to catch up on things I should have had by now, but haven’t due to being shaped the last week or so.

I think I shall do some brief work on my Angry Marines or pre-heresy Emperor’s Children again.

Tally Ho.

AmK

EDIT
About 2 and a half hours after I posted this, internet got uncapped… for the win!

Mysterium Magnum Winter Premium weekend.

Jun30

Well it’s fast approaching, as in it’ll be here in about a week, so I figured I’d mention a few things on my blog if any of you reading this are in the Camarilla, and are likely to be in Melbourne next weekend.

Melbourne Premium Weekend 6 – 8 July 2007

Big fancy type event thing where you can play three games on one weekend, here in Melbourne, our public transport is gold and win.
Friday night – Mage 7pm to 11pm

The Free Council, with the support of Shearer, Horner and Slaine (whether or not those mages like it), are hosting a charity gambling festival type thing. All Awakened are welcome. Come one, come all, bid some money and help some disadvantaged minority group somewhere in the world.

Also come because I’m running the damn event as storyteller, supported by my capable AVSTs.
And remember, attempting to break the game with copious amounts of cheese will force me to respond in kind… and you can’t afford the kind of cheese I can for my NPCs, so play nice.

Really the best time prior to the madness at conclave later this year for order mages to get together and plot shenanigans and kill the Wicked Witch of the West (beware Perthians, I just doomed you.)

So come along or I beat you with something sharp and pointy.

Saturday night – Vampire 7pm to 11pm

Some kinda black and white ball thing to commemorate a whole bunch of unaligned vamps getting gacked after they nuked the local Carthian ruler-ship.

Come and enjoy a game hosted by my compadre, Jason Chapel. There be vampires.

Sunday Afternoon – Werewolf 1pm to 5pm

Ok, I have no idea what the premise for this session is to be. It involves werewolves, it involves spirits (big war going on between fire and ice, with violence siding with ice… it’s not my fault.)

My somewhat deranged chain-wielding rahu who likes to swear at people will be there.

Come along or else our NMC will beat you with his NMC stick (might be made of meat, I just don’t want to find out.)
That and my other associate, Alicia, will be running it. Word has it she likes kissing girls and gets rather tanked rather easily, one possibly precluding the other. So if you like potential girl on girl action (no promises for aforementioned girl on girl action actually happening, I don’t have that kinda power.) or just playing big furry combat monsters (no, not furries, werewolves,) then come to this game.

I asked Alicia what the premise for the sessions was, her response being along these lines:

<Zoi> Sure. Guarding and taking back across the Gauntlet those humans who’ve taken Embalmer and dealing with the spirit who’s hunting them in the Hisil for those who want combat, and the treaty with the Pure for those who don’t want combat.
<Zoi> Though given what a couple of people have said about their PCs opinions of the treaty, that may very well turn into a combat plot as well.
<Zoi> We’ll see.
<Zoi> As the locations for both plots are close to each other, there’s also the option for PCs to move between plots if they wish.need to.

Should be all on it. Come and play and stuff and I promise I won’t kill your characters unless you do something really stupid (opening a portal into the heart of the sun would probably count as stupid.)

Autobots, roll out!

Jun30

Well put simply, Transformers would have to have been one of the best, if not the best movie of 2007.

It is made of Gold and Win.

I’ll have to wait to see what opening weekend figures are like, but for now I can safely say I’ve never seen cinemas packed out like that for any other movie in the past 7 years.

I’ve also never seen an audience applaud a movie before, a common thing for this one from everything I’ve heard so far.

Oh and the transformers are tanked up killing machines, and people do actually die.

As someone who grew up playing with the original toys, I am much satisfied by this film.

I urge anyone thinking of going to see it, buy your tickets early, and see it ASAP.

AmK out.

Money goes away as fast as it arrives.

Jun28

Well, an interesting day yesterday (well technically but I haven’t been to bed yet.)

First up in the morning I got a new electronic ignition module installed in my car. Now my car works again, at least for now it does. $300 down from that.

And of course the website for Australian Camarilla Conclave (ACC) went totally live and stuff and well suffice to say I’m registered and paid for, another $80 down from that.

Oh and today Transformers opens, so I’m supposedly going to go and meet up with a bunch of people from Respawn (7th and 8th of July at Bundoora, well worth the money.)  at Northlands to go and see it, supposedly around 9am (so not looking forward to another early morning.) If you go, look for the geeky looking people, that’s us.

And I been having much fun in guildwars lately.

Till later.

I have new blog, yes I do… no really I do.

Jun27

Welcome to the latest in a vast string of blogs I’ve had.  I might even stick with this one awhile.

I am planning to post all the miscellaneous crap that happens in my gaming life here, from wargaming to world of darkness and so on, even PC gaming!

What I’m doing right now involves a bit of construction of an Angry Marine using Blood Angels rules.

Oh and new chaos later this year, models are win, the rules are looking like lose and fail.

Later.
