Project Website

If you have found your way here, you might as well know, it's a trap! Run away now! Just kidding—this is the template build of what is now my IT 237 final project, but will become my professional portfolio. Who am I? I am a writer, aspiring copy-chief, graphic artist, web designer, reviewer, journalist, and entertainer, with an especially strong interest in the gaming industry. Check out my bio to learn more.

I've done a lot of tests, but am withholding damage numbers and WS comparisons until I've had a chance to merit with a non mage sub. More on this later...

DRG is an incomparable force of solo destruction in Campaign. Good luck pulling these numbers on any other melee.

Site Updates!

I finally added the writing section, where you will find several different stories I have worked on. If you like or dislike my work, please feel encouraged to tell me exactly what was right or wrong about it. I take all forms of criticsm very seriously and appreciate anyone who takes the time to read, whether their reaction is good or bad.

Humor in the Golden Era

Here are some funny screenshots and model viewer comics I did during the height of Impulse (and a little beyond). Good times.

When Charitwo jacked a picture from Sorsis's blog and posted it on a bunch of different forums, I helped Sorsis get even by changing the source of the picture to this:

When I staticked WAR with Taku's MNK way back in '05, I critiqued his equipment harshly!

When I staticked MNK with Delila's BRD, she was always bitching about me grabbing the mob before it could put her into yellow HP latent activation. My riposte?

During that same static, I kept saving TP for the end of the fight so I wouldn't use too much of Aki's MP curing me. And fucking Taku kept cutting me off. Fuck you, Koolaid!

Before Alina left for Kupo, he whored all the gear he could get his hands on. He went on and on about wanting to be a Paladin and lotted up a bunch of Koenig adbjurations. To ridicule him, I made this comic (much too large for site, loads in a separate window).

And last but not least, the Vana'diel History comics parodying various members of the Linkshell. Remember to click on each for the larger version!

That Syncing Feeling

9/09/08

So today I decided to try out Level Sync. I knew that I wanted to get my level 55 Samurai some much-needed experience, so I levelled Shine's Black Mage to 10 the day before. But that's not all. I also did a little camping, hoping to get lucky:

I did get Katayama for my SAM, perfect for level 10. Lizzy, of course, is a no-dropping whore.

So the party started a few hours later, in Tahrongi, where I decided that dhalmels were too easy for a level 10 crew. We moved it to the Maze of Shakhrami, and when that exp got slow (around level 15) we jumped to Korroloka Tunnel. All in all, we did great exp in just four hours (camp changes included). Kaska went 55->57. Other party members went 46->49, 48->50. Most notable however was this:

Congratulations Kikuji!

That's all for now!

Bards can indeed score well in Campaign! This fight was only halfway over when I cashed in, too.

And because I didn't know what to do with her eight newest merits...

Dragoon is a solo hero in Campaign. Kaska will even duel things whole groups of players try to avoid.
