Tests, Dilemmas, and StarGating

Welcome to another exciting adventure of ranting and pointless drivel that endorses the eating of cheese!

I wanted to start this one off by sharing that I passed my test at work (YAY! It means I get to keep my job, and for all intensive purposes I GOT THE JOB which if it's based on tests about computer stuff I shouldnt have been worried about that, but I was) so I got my dream job (my foot in the door of the industry) doing what I want to do to pay bills in case my writing or gaming or writing about gaming never gets me anywhere (which it probably wont, but have to be optimistic there haha). So, ya I'm now a Tech Support guy and if your in an area the company I work for covers you may get me on the phone (who knows). Dont worry though odds are if your reading this you know what your doing your just baffled and dont have the resources I have to find the answer to your problem. Also dont worry because I really am a nice guy, I just need to vent where no one will hear it and it would appear either no one likes my blogs (which is perfectly fine) or else I havent found an interesting hook yet to make it worth being sociable with me. Whatever, its cool. Just dont be scared of me, im not gonna bite yer head off! Well, maybe haha... No promises

Anyway all kidding aside I have now got a dilemma on my hands pertaining to my EQ2 endeavour which really encompasses more then one topic today actually. Sometime around the end of this year the game I've been waiting for should be ready to come out (heres hoping) and I will have to say goodbye to the guild/community I have in EQ2. Unfortunately that guild/community is not very big and more importantly to me not very fun all the time (not always someone on, not always stuff to do) so I really do want to move on from it. The game, outside of the small guilds (like the one im in), is totally run by elitists making it no fun to play (the game is designed entirely around raiding which requires PEOPLE which all the big elitist guilds have so bleh... the game gets boring). I do have to be honest though I really like playing with the people there and dont want to leave. I wanted to get this guild moving and have a steady stream of content for alot of people along a good and fun atmosphere at any time of the day (like a decent guild should have and I've only pulled this off twice in other games) but I'm not sure if this guild would ever be able to get that far and as fun as these people are they cant (lets be real... pratical about this) be around enough so... I dont know. I cant see myself staying with the game for very much longer. It's not really the game I want to play anyway, and I'm hoping this game I want to play will keep me around for years to come. I'd love that!

So, that sucks and it leads me into my next topic of pointlessness... The new game Stargate Worlds is in Development! YA, I know, shocker right. I was also told development stopped but only recently found out it was picked up again and the ball is rolling. The devs there are incredible. They almost seemed to have researched everything about current MMOs and want to encopmpass really whats more practical gameplay for MMOs rather then money sucking but overall pointless gameplay that ends up making you feel like you wasted months of your life.

I also want to point out here I am a huge fan of the show + movie but I'm trying to keep that in the backburner and only use that when it comes to how I feel the game should feel (there are things in the world of Stargate you just cant do and if you do I just want a good reason that you did). Also I had some concerns about the way the armor looked (too halo-ish for me, and not pratical in the stargate world) but that was quashed when a Dev (I know right, a dev answered someone back about this, actually several times devs have talked to the community about this) pretty much said "dont worry thats not the only concept we have" (im paraphrasing, but thats in context).

If you havent seen it yet check out the teaser they put together. Its old news to most people now but who knows, you may learn about it here so I'll link it for ya, just click here, the video is in the video area of that page. Also has some good interviews you can read if your interested at all. I suggest you read all the interviews released so far if your at all interested in this game. It is going to be way different from most MMOs out right now and it may be really fun who knows. Of course this is all speculation at this point, and only going off of what they say but it sounds fresh and I cant wait to check this game out whenever (either beta or live whatever I just cant wait!) it comes into my hands to play it.

Anyway, thats about it for this week. Alot of craziness, but I try to stay focused... keep my chi in tact. You may have noticed I didnt cuss this week. Well, im not mad about anything right now I'm actually in a good place and hoping for the best. It's going to be a rough month (cant pay bills yet) but overall im very excited for the future for once. Here's hopin all goes well for me, right!

GameSpots Interview for those uninterested in searching for it

Warcry's Interview with Kevin Balentine

Theres more if you want to look for them but these are probably the best out right now. You can also find alot of great stuff on the offical website/forums, and see some more special stuff just by registering for the forums... if your at all interested in this game I suggest you check that out. For now, I have no good quip for you, but keep it real!

Tigers tails and sleeping bulls and stuff... what?
