Hey guys, and gals...

Just wanted to drop in and see how things were going!

For me ... the RL has really really caught up to me, engaged and planning a wedding is very exciting!!  Work is as usual busy and sucks (as I'm posting this from work, and I don't think I've done anything for the last 3 hours..)

Anyways yeah, hows MxO going... I've been thinking about everyone!

As I begin writing this, I realize it has been a long time coming. And rather than being booted out, I'd prefer to go at my own grace.

I am announcing my second retirement from MxO. There are many reasons for this. Included in those are:

-The previously mentioned passion that was expecting on return did not last longer than 1 month.

-Whenever I get into busy spots in-game, it sputters to a stop (most PvP battles included) and is just not at all enjoyable.

-Work is WAY too busy to even play any xbox, or CS:S or C&C3. (Please note that I will continue to run my CS server on request... Bellthazor has web access to start it up too)

-Life with my significant other continues to get better and better every week! And at this stage in my life, I would trade any amount of time in any game, for 1 hour of time with her.

-Massive amounts of car troubles have forced me to "jump ship" on my car, and purchase a new car... which means I'm in debt again.[/list]

If anyone wants my stuff (not even sure what I had), send me a 30 day card and I will gladly set you up with whatever stuff I have.

It's been a wild ride with The Angels that I've met through this game. It has been such a tight knit online family, that I feel I've neglected over the past 5 months, and I feel I owe you all apologies.

To those of the Evigilos: I do not believe I faired up to be even remotely close to the First Mate I should have been. Keep the ninja spirit up, and never forget your black lacy bra.

With that said... Be safe!

Just wanted to let everyone know what I've been up to in this busy time of year and that your resident Canadian hasn't dropped off the face of the earth.

We got a few projects and proposals at work that have a lot of work to them. Hopefully we get the jobs so I can stay billable.

I've designed a 'seasonal' website that I'm hoping with the proper marketing people in my city will use. Basically there are over 200 outdoor ice rinks in Ottawa, and I've made a site where people can update the "Latest Ice Conditions".

I've been helping Bellthazor with preperation for his Exam quite a bit in the past month. Every time you see him in Exercio, and Homework tagged to his name, I've usually got a remote assistance window of his desktop open givin him a hand with programming.

And just the sheer fact that its Mid-December is keeping me busy.

My time in game has been extreemly lousy of late, but I'm sure once the new year rolls around, I'll be able to spend more time in game.

And on that note,

Everyone, have a safe and happy holiday!!

Alright this is my current status... I'm all set to have a negative bank balance at the end of next week. (despite gettin my first full pay check from my new job)

though hopefully if everything works out, I'll get my SOE account back onto the credit card, and everything should be ok with no loss of time. However if I disapear for a few days, then you know why.  

Just wanted to give a heads up.

Yotogi mentioned last night to keep people posted on the CCR/Bug/Forum post I made regarding Binary Boy's Requirement Set #2.

Have custom avatars been turned off? Just noticed mine was gone, and I can only choose from 20 goofy lookin smiley faces.

So for those who may remember about 2 months ago my brother was hospitalized, a bacterial infection of the blood essentially took over his body, and our family was told he was going to die that day.

Hes since had his toes chopped off due to no circulation, (picture Mr.Deeds style feet, but only in the toes), and hes continuing to improve.  

Anyway the setup for all this is that my dads co-workers bought him a whole bunch of XBox games, because the hospital has supplied him with a TV and an XBox.  I am now looking into getting an XBox for my brother for when he gets back home. (which we still don't know when that will be) however, I want to get it modded.

So if anyone in the faction currently has an XBox and it is modded, could you please give me some details of what you are using and your experience with the chips/bios/dashboard you are using...

I've been thinking about getting the Xecuter3 chip, with an Xecuter bios i believe... ??, and Evolution-X Dash.

I haven't looked much into it until today, so I'm still brusing up on my terms, but any advice would be wonderful!

Thanks!
