I’m boned for 5 months. This weeked my computers power supply died. I had a 150 Watt Dell POS power supply in it and went to Bestbuy to get a new one. They only had 400 Watts. I bought it and went home. I removed my old power supply and cleaned it out. Before I was going to put the new PSU in, I wanted to give the old one a good cleaning and one last try. I put it back in and the computer didn’t even turn on. At least, before it turned on. The problem was the cooling fan was dying. After cleaning it, I had nothing. I was sure it finally died for good.

Go ahead and ask me anything.

I know this is old and probably worn out by now, but thought it would be fun. I might even blog expand on a question asked. I used to do an “Scary’s Advice” column, but nobody asked me questions to give advice to. It became boring for me to do.

Maybe, I’ll get some ideas from this. Thanks all and ask away

When a game first announces their pricing model, it sometimes makes you think they are just in it for the money. Greed before need is hanging above everybody’s workstation. This is not meant to dog on any company, but to wonder where the MMO market is going.

Back in 1999, I logged on to my first MMORPG. It was Everquest. The whole thought of a world that never ended and broke out of the linear mold, held my imagination for years. I remember my heart punding with excitement when darkness engulfed Norrath. All you could see was the glowing red eyes of monsters at night. Even with a lantern, you were hard-pressed to see a monster until it was already attacking you. Those were the days. I guess I have become jaded or are the developers the jaded ones?

Why don’t I post pictures on my blog anymore? I have a few reasons. Let me do a standard list for you.

1. Most of my readers are over 5 years old. Just like when you start growing ip and learn to read books with big words. By 5th grade most kids don’t read book with pictures.

2. It is not my picture. If I didn’t take the picture, I’m not going to slap it on my blog. If I take a screenshot of a game I am playing of find sone thing cool in the real world, I will post a picture. If I have to search Google for a cutesy picture so you read my blog, I’m not the blogger for you.

For the past 3 years I have been going strong, but last week I started to feel rundown all the time. My voice is cracking and I hear ringing all the time. I just don’t know how much longer I will live. The blackouts have been getting worse and worse everyday. Sometimes when I am reading, I passout and wake up at home. Why do I keep waking up at home.

I also have a small hole in my gut. It has blue or green stuff oozing from it. I’ve looked online and it all points to my death. I might have 3-6 months to live. Here is a list of my symptoms:

I’m kind of sad right now. I want to play Allods Online sooooo bad, but I hate free to play pricing models. We all know it isn’t free to play, so why labor it as so? I feel so dirty playing games that lure me in the way Allods Online does. “Hey, look at us! We are FREE to download and FREE to play. By the way, check out out knife collection as we stab you in the back.”

I’m into weightlifting. In the last 2 months I have been gating back into shape. All summer I have been lifting my ass off the couch to get a bag of chips or candy bar. I went from 190lbs to 240lbs in the last 2 years. This summer I put the pedal to the medal and ate everything in sight and gained 30 of those 50lbs. After looking down at my gut eclipsing my penis, I finally got off my ass.

I started playing Everquest 2 this week. I took the week off to do stuff around the house, but EQ2 got the best of me. I did finish cleaning out my old apartment, took a couple showers, watched Black Dynamite, and trolled a few of my favorite blog. If you didn’t get a comment from me, I am sorry. I will get to you. Anyways, I started playing EQ2 as a good Barbarian Paladin. I was having fun with him exploring the beginner zone and I was enjoying the game very much, but then I started reading… dun dun dunnnnnnnn.

It is a war out here. At every corner, I see the enemy. At first my friends had my back, but then they started getting picked off 1 by 1. I’m starting to feel lonely. The darkness is coming and I can’t stop it. All I have left is a little blue bird singing his song. It is becoming a silent song and the Killer Bees are Buzzing my way. No time to run or hide, I must throw the damn bird at the bees so I don’t get stung.

I guess Allods Online’s Cash Shop is over priced. I don’t get worked up about that stuff. I’m not too interested in why everybody is upset. I know it costs about $20 to get a bigger bag, but I really haven’t played it that much to worry about it. I do wish these new free to play MMOs would cone up with a better way of making money.

Today you have about 4 different ways to support your favorite MMO.

1. Pay $15 a month

2. Pay $15 a month and extras from a cash shop
