Earth Eternal

Earth Eternal is pretty good so far but bears many resemblances to WoW, which is maybe why I find it a little boring. I'll keep playing and see how it is!

Yet another MMO to try...

I just signed up for Earth Eternal. It looked cool because there are 22 unique races (no humans, dwarves, or elves) and looked like a breath of fresh air. I'll see how it is!

Circus also known as animal torture

Ringling Brothers Circus' keeps their elephant training grounds fenced off and out of sight--is it because they don't want the elephants to escape or people to steal them? NO! It's because their "training grounds" are actually elephant torture rooms. We now also know the Rock 'n' Roll music blaring from the grounds isn't to "help the elephants get used to loud circus noises" but is actually to cover the screams of the baby elephants.

Sam Haddock courageously tells all to P.E.T.A and shares with them dozens of disturbing photos. The pictures show elephants being gouged by bullhooks, electrocuted, and dragged away from their mothers. When Haddock passed away from illness in 2009 P.E.T.A carried out his wishes and told the world the truth. Please help stop the cruelty by signing the petition, writing a letter, or taking some other action at RinglingBeatsAnimals.com!

What to do about possible excessive liars?

So there's a girl I know who is by far the most interesting person I know. She claims to have a dad who's a genius engineer and so earns a lot of money, hence her being rich and spoiled. She says she has more than 10 cars, 3 houses, a small island, credit cards, multiple iPods and several cell phones. She also claims to have been raped, had a friend who committed suicide, have met Johnny Depp and have a grandma who went out with my algebra teacher. (Apparently she read this in her grandma's diary, though she just moved to Alaska so I don't know how they knew my algebra teacher!) I want to feel sorry for this happy, entertaining girl who tells so many sad life stories, but at the same time it's a little hard to believe all this. I've researched a few lie-detecting techniques and I'll try to remember them the next time I talk to her. Any advice, people?

Hair in my food

At the top of all my hates, so bad it isn't even on my Hate List, is hair in my food!! Finding disgusting hairs (and I'm very good at finding them) is almost enough to make me lose my whole appetite, certainly enough to make me dissect every small bit of food that I eat afterwards. (Living with two cats, this happens quite alot!)

End of break and computer problems

With the end of break comes work for us all! I'll try to post when I can, but it will probably be about a post every two days. Worse still, I just found out my primary computer has a major driver problem and another big error that causes it to run well below average. This will take about 2.5 weeks to fix...so needless to say this will make it even harder to post on Warp Ten. Sorry!

Territory War Online

Territory War Online is a very fun, addictive game online in which you can challenge other players and battle it out with you stick figures! Watch out though, it's rare to find anyone who doesn't fall into the "total internet jerk" category. I even ran into an Indian terrorist who made his stick figures wearing turbans and named them after famous terrorists! He cussed me out for being American the whole time. I'd post some screenshots, but I'd rather not be involved in his weirdo terrorist activities, so I'll just leave the subject alone.

Anyway, come check it out! Here's a few useful tips to get you started:

• If you haven't already created an account on another game by XGen Studios you need to do that first. If you already have an account on another game on the site, then just use that to log in!
• Before you start playing (but after you create an account) go to the main menu and select "Create Team". Then you can give your stickmen (or women!) names and choose from a selection of awesome hats for them to wear! Then when you battle someone choose your team name from the drop-down list on the page where you select your preferred map and number of stickmen.
• When first starting out try to play people who don't have many wins or losses. You'll know how many they have by scrolling over their names in the chat room.
• I'd recommend playing the offline version here to build your skill. Be warned, though! It's much easier than facing off against another player!
• Add anyone who you enjoy playing with to your friends list! Polite opponents who are fun to chat with or just don't chat at all (which is preferable to chatting with a total jerk) are rare. Make sure you remember who they are and play them again and again and again!
• DON'T press f5. It makes your forfeit the match. Some opponents will try to trick you into pressing it!
  

I'll post my team profile soon so my readers can find and challenge me!

Sometimes I wonder about ghosts

Sometimes I wonder if supernatural forces are at work, or if the space time continuum has tiny rips that affect everyday life. For instance, I was playing a board game with my friend and I really needed a pair of ones. I said, "C'mon, snake eyes!" to my friend's and my utter shock, two ones came up. I took her piece. If this wasn't amazing enough, my friend said, "What I really need is a two," she rolled and a pair of twos came up! We kept calling out numbers when we rolled and the die kept obeying our commands! Too spooked to play another game, I ran to confide in my blog. So this raises the obvious question, what the hell just happened?!
