So, I wanted to ask how serious we were about continuing in Star Wars Galaxies.  As some of you know, I'm a regular player of the game.  I also participate in the TCG that accompanies the game.  Due to this, I have several loot cards (TCG cards that are redeemable for in-game items) that I have no interest in.  I stand to make several million credits by selling these items.

If we're serious, I'll sell them for credits on Bloodfin to try and help advance our player city and help the guild to an extent.  If we're only just messing around, I'll sell the loot cards for credits on Shadowfire, since my level 59 main is there.

EDIT: In case you guys were interested in seeing the loot cards and what they do:

Of the ones I'm selling, the first seven come from the Galactic Hunters expansion.  The ninth and tenth are from the newest expansion (released yesterday), Agents of Deception.  The eighth is a special loot card that came from a tournament pack.

It was awesome!  Saw it last night at midnight.

It wasn't completely comic book accurate, but I felt it was more accurate than the other X-Men movies were.

I don't want to say too much, or give anything away.  But I strongly recommend it.  Make sure you stay till after the credits.  The credits will start to roll, and then there will be a small scene and the credits will continue.  Don't be fooled, stay till after the credits are completely over!

It's time for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, and Orlando.

Anyone going?

Right now, a bunch of friends are planning to go Friday, 10/24.

I am thinking I'll stay the weekend and do Universal and Islands of Adventure during the day on Saturday and Sunday.  Costco has a pretty good deal down here.  It's a 3-month, 2-park pass for like $80.  Lets you go back as many times as you want within 3 months.  Pretty good deal considering normal tickets for Florida residents are about that much for a 2-day, 2-park pass.

Discuss.

Guys, I haven't had much time lately, nor have I had the drive, to get on MxO.  Back when I started the game, it was my first MMO and I throughly enjoyed everything about it.  I enjoyed the missions, the storyline, the player-developer interaction.... Just everything.

I don't see that anymore, and I don't feel the same way about the game as I once did.  I used to be excited to come home and jump into MxO when I had spare time.  I didn't mind paying SOE the $30 every month for the Station Pass.  I have the Station Pass because I was also playing Star Wars Galaxies, which I'm not anymore.  I thought maybe I'd cancel the Station Pass and go back to just the $15 for MxO.  But honestly, I can't see myself even wasting the $15 every month when I'm not even interested in playing the game anymore.  Anamodiel's thread on the MxO boards has made me feel like the game isn't really going anywhere, and I don't see a reason to continue paying for it.

This thread is to let you guys know that I am going to be suspending my SOE account indefinitely.  Maybe at a later time, I'll feel differently than I do now and will reinstate it.  Who knows, I could even have a change of heart next month and be right back here, in-game.

With that said, I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my time being a part of the Furious Angels.  You guys are the greatest team a guy could ever ask for.  If it's not a bother, I would like to stay a Furious Angel. I do still play other games online, mostly first-person shooters.  Namely Counter-Strike, and Battlefields 2 and 2142.

I don't know what else to say, so I'll just end it here with a "Stay Gaming!"

57.87 yards on my laptop.  Got stuck on the green section.  Need to try this on my PC with a real mouse. LoL.

... is due to the fact that I'm currently trying to build an 11-second car to compete in Buschur Racing's 15th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout.

What is a DSM, you ask?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-Star_Motors
Basically, all 1990-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipses, 1990-1997 Eagle Talons, and 1990-1994 Plymouth Lasers.

What is an EVO?
A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

What is the Shootout?
It's a big racing event.  My buddy Will said it best when he said "It's like the DSM pilgrimage to Mecca."

When and where?
It's in Norwalk, Ohio at the Norwalk Raceway Park.  The actual event is on Sunday, August 19th.  On Saturday, August 18th, Buschur will be giving a tour of their Ohio facility.

What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to make my car as fast as physically possible while still abiding by the DSA (DSM Stock Appearing) class rules.  I plan on winning DSA.

All of my available time and money right now is being invested into the car to make it into a beast. And believe me when I say it's going to take all my available time.  On top of building the car, I also have to get in a lot of track time to get myself adjusted to everything we are doing, and also to perfect my track techniques.  I've become used to running what's called a "Sportsmen" starting tree.  At the shootout, they will be using a "Pro" starting tree...  It's a damn pain in the ass.

Anyone in the Ohio area on those dates should come out and show their support.

Saw it tonight.  Not sure how I feel about it.  Right now, I just feel that if someone asked me to comment on the movie, I would be like "Eh".  I may need to see it again.  Maybe I just had too high of hopes for it?  It just seemed to me like it was way too much, and they tried to make it too over the top, and so emotional that they killed it in the process.
