Off Topic / Virginia Tech Shooting

« on: April 16, 2007, 12:09:53 pm »

There's been a school shooting at V-Tech; if you know of anyone who attends that University I suggest you give them a call. Reports are coming in that 31 are confirmed dead and 30 or so more wounded.

I was going through some of the old files I've done over the past year and a half while in the Furious Angels (from Sigs to the FA Picture) and wanted to post these for posterity.

Enjoy!

Apologies in advance for the Lag in which you are about to receive. (There are a few which are fairly large, I'll resize later)

In no particular order.

Off Topic / Target Practice

« on: January 24, 2007, 11:01:01 pm »

Shh... It'll only hurt for a second.

I had Jeyk's friend Zack make me this full color with background concept art of my RSI, the guy definitely has some talent. Let me know what you think and by all means help the starving artist out by getting your own done.

Mine cost $60 because of the added background detail and it was absolutely worth every penny, but you be the judge.

You have got to check out the Trailers for this movie (if you haven't already). I highly suggest you watch the "Annoucement Trailer" first and then watch the "Teaser Trailer"; just for effect.

And yes, I am a product of the Transformers Generation... Robots in Disguise bitches...lol

Off Topic / Never Forget

« on: September 11, 2006, 02:58:45 pm »

I woke up that morning groggy and lethargic, like many mornings, and I got ready for work. I turned on the television and tuned in the morning news just in time to see the second plane hit the towers. I knew then, that I wasn't going to be making it into work that day...

As some of you may know I am a man of many hats, one of which happens to be that of a firefighter. And as some of you may know I live pretty much in Washington, DC.

Having changed "hats" as it were, I headed down to my fire station to help staff one of the fire pieces, just in case...

I remember watching the TV in the briefing room with many of my friends as news of the attack on the pentagon broke just after 9:30am. I also remember our Communications Center, about 30 minutes later, issuing an immediate transfer of several County fire apparatus down into DC to cover for those DC pieces who went to the Pentagon. My engine was one of them.

I was in DC for less than an hour when me and the other guys on my engine were transfered down to the Pentagon. We didn't return to our station till after midnight that night.

I never saw the footage broadcast of the two Towers falling, nor its aftermath. In some weird way I'm glad I missed all of it, to have seen it live would've been horrible.

So this post is for all those "brothers" who gave their life that day.

Off Topic / Yotogi Invades London

« on: August 08, 2006, 08:46:38 pm »

That's right boys and girls I'm breaking loose of this one horse town and making my way to London for the next 10 days (technically I leave Friday but I doubt I'll have much time to play between now and then) My girl's got a friend getting married and we thought we'd expand on our time there and turn it into a mini-vacation. I'm even getting to see my ancestral home in Scotland. (Su-weet)

So I'm taking a break from this hot weather and going to a place that's gonna top out at 70 degrees the whole time I'm there, gotta luv that. I'd buy you all souvenirs but the postage is ex-pen-sive (especially when you don't know the address)

While I'm there I'll be sporting this new, hip khaki hat that is all the rage.

So for those who call London home, be on the lookout. (Props to NoCry for the skinny on places to go and see)

Now if you're wondering about the hat I had one specially made to suite my own tastes, if you like it I'm sure a copy can be made.

See you all when I return.

General / Yotogi: Year 1 (A call to Arms)

« on: July 17, 2006, 11:52:06 am »

It was one year ago today when I first slipped on my wings and became a Furious Angel and what a year it has been. In the beginning I didn't know what to make of it all; sure I had heard of FA, who hadn't, but I had no idea of what to expect nor what was to be expected of me.

I joined FA not because of their long-standing in-game reputation but because of their uncompromising ideals and character. Every place (in real-life and in-game) needs those few who will stand up to oppression and subversion, who are not afraid to fight back against tyranny, and who will aid those who are distressed. To me, being a member of the Furious Angels is more than just about pvping with an awesome group of guys (and gals) it's about making a difference in a place where there is too much indifference and about belonging to something that is larger than ourselves. We protect those who can not protect themselves; that is our job, that is our duty. (Those who know some of what I do in RL will understand where this is coming from)

Over the past year I have seen the retirement of many of our fellow Angels and it has saddened me but with each new recruit my faith in this faction is renewed. To those who are new to the fold remember this; here is not a place for amateurs or the weak of heart. To be a Furious Angel is to be a beacon to those suffering in the dark night of a treacherous world. Even though we are but players in a game we should not nor can not take our responsibility lightly. There are those who seek to destroy us and to create chaos for us all but we must stand strong and persevere for not doing so means the end of what we have worked so hard to maintain.

These wings will help you fly, but it is your conviction that makes you soar.

I look back on this last year and relish in the friendships I have forged and the great times I have had. I know no better place to be than here with my brethren Angels and I can honestly say that without FA, I would have left MxO long ago.

To the year to comeâ€¦
