Faultline sounds like a cool thing to try. :cool:


I don't have Tom's number.

Can you let him know there's a TF tonight looking for a scrapper?

While he examines my eyes, he discovers that I have some cholesterol plaque on one of the arteries of my right eyeball. He told me it's rare for someone my age to have that. He even took photos of my eyes with this really high-tech computer camera thing that displayed my eye ball in full 32 bit color on a large 19" lcd. It was great! But it was also an eye opener *so to speak*.

Doctor told me I need to quit smoking NOW! Nobody can prove it's the smoking or my bad diet or the combo of all of the above,.. but I'm not ruling anything out. When he told me to quit smoking,.. I said, "Ok". Then before the eye photo I went out,.. had my last smoke and called it quits.

It's now been 1 full day (over 24 hours) and so far I'm doing fine. Been a little fidgety and have had some cravings here and there,.. but all in all doing well and trying to get through the next two weeks of this quitting smoking process. So yesterday at the doctor all day,.. been up in Sac all day today at a Microsoft seminar,.. and now here I am.

Lets' review:
1> I have cholesterol plaque on the artery of my right eyeball
2> I have an appointment to go see an optometrist to get glasses
3> I have quit smoking and have been successful for over 24 hours now
4> I have to see a medical doctor to get blood work done
5> I have to learn how to eat healthy food
6> I probably will have to start excersizing
7> I think this has a lot to do with me being glued to the computer, barely making time for anything else, eating only snacks, drinking only coke, smoking and no excersize. And more so than ever in the last 6 months.

Nyway,.. a new Wrbby has been born. Right now, the new Wrbby is still a little weak to temptation and a bit fragile,.. but within the next few months a newer, better, stronger Wrbby will begin to evolve. I will still play CoH. But I can't play in the heavy doses that I have been playing because I have health risks now that I am aware of and I have to spend more time doing physical activity so that I don't get worse. Right now I honestly don't know how I am going to manage the time I spend on the computer vs the time I spend away from the computer,... but there has to be some adjustments made one way or another. Just wanted to let you guys know. Wish me luck. :)

Wow, that sucks. Start eating walnuts daily. They are one of the few sources of Omega 3 fatty acids. We get Omega 6 in our diets and lack Omega 3 and they need to be in a balance. They help with the elasticity of your arteries.

Also, stay away from most things labled "low fat" or "fat free" without reading lables. Most of those "diet" products contain sugar (corn syrup) to make up for the lack of oil.

Use olive oil when cooking and not corn or vegie oil, etc.


Good luck man.

How did Faultline go last night? Intense?

Hasten is great, got it for RG and you can get so many attacks out so fast you can just destroy things in front of you.

Faultline was good. Decent XP and we kept moving fast which is the whole secret. Having Oinker along kept us moving and the small group meant ok xp.

yes but "conserve power" is from my primaries and it is just amazing. Major becomes a supernova when this thing is turned on, my power does not go down while it is active, and i just keep shootin'...it's freakin nuts i tell ya. the only problem is...10 min for recharge. it seems a little faster now, i have 2 DO for faster recharge. now my dilemma is: should i slot a third? fourth? will they still bring the recharge rate down?

Slot your main powers for damage. I have Power - Bolt, Blast and Burst 6 slotted with 2 aim 4 dmg. They use the least end and do the most damage and are the fastest to recharge. I use aim like 1 time per fight so It's only slotted 3 times and torrent is getting attention next with lots of damage DOs.

I don't slot my Aim, Build Up and eventually Conserve Power. But I will when SO's are affordable. I don't want to waste the slots on recharge time until I can put something in that matters.

For a blaster must haves are:

Hasten
Aim
Conserve power
Build Up
Stamina

I have yet to get hasten for dynamo but will soon and stamina will be mine in so many levels or once respec comes along.

I'm going home now to mentally prepare for tonight's Task Force. :cool:

I totally agree. Thx for the tips. :)

Btw you guys,... I can definately play the TF but I don't know what time I can start (may not be until like 9p est). I have to go to work and be there at like 4:30p pst to do a few things that just came up today (my day off). And as we all know, "a few things" in the computer world can end up taking a few hours. So if you guys start without me,.. then so-be-it. Hopefully I can make it. But if not,.. it's all good. :)

Still hope you can make it. ;)

I am officially useless today. :bor:

May be, but doesn't the sense of accomplishment overcome that? :)


BTW, I just got up 30 minutes ago and I feel great. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

Hey Wrrby, look at what you missed:

Yes... that IS the Toaster King getting a little body work done curtesy of Task Force Vortex. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/02/1.gif

From what we can tell, we whizzed through the TF in about 4 hours with no healer on the team.

Aumakua's bubbles did the trick, Diverrr, Major Blaze and Buzzerbeater provided ample fireworks while Stalemate and that other guy... Nova Tiger (yeah, that's it) tried to get aggro from the toasters.

The screenshot I regret not taking is the one where you could have seen 2 groups each fighting a Babbage. There was even some confusion as to which team should have engaged which Babbage, but that was quickly resolved with some kind, respectful verbal interaction.

The team members were very supportive to each other to the point of being altruistically generous in DO sharing, everyone knew their roles and the only unfortunate event I think happened was Diverrr getting into debt (twice?).

The SO I got was an endurance cost reduction, so I was thrilled. Got to level 19 too.



Hope you can make it for the next one. :cool:

One of those Diverrr debt situations was my fault. But for the record, i compensated him. :thumbs:

Was it and did you?

I was to busy trying to hold on to my endurance... :p


That was mighty generous of you - and another example why gaming with you guys in the SG instead of any "pick up" team is for more rewarding - in all sense of the word.


I'm going to go start the Phantoms of War SG now. :cool:

Levels 15 and up - WinDrivers members only unless all lieutenants agree on adding specific outsiders, OK?

Not really your fault more mine for not bailing when I should have.
I was trying to kill a toaster and kept missing. I shouldnt have seperated from the group like that... but thanks for the influence anyhow.. :) I will put it to much use.

Actually it was. I aggroed the spit out of a nest of Tinkertoys cause I thought I could scrap em by myself. I was wrong and they followed me out to the pack. :devil:
