Makeover Mindgames?

Makeovers can be a great motivator to start playing dormant or non-leveling characters again.  A fresh face, new hair-color, and fresh hair-do can do wonders to kick start yourself.  It does for me anyway.  Problem is that I can never decide on what to change my look to.

Is it just me or do others of you out there dread using beauty shop coupons once you've already settled on a look that you like?  It takes me so long to figure out any changes I want to make and even then, about 75% of the time, I'm not satisfied with how it turned out and I regret spending my SparkCash on that change.

Controlled Mayhem: A Mage's Path (Part 1 - Know Thyself)

(Still a work in progress, but at least you guys know I'm working on something!)


As often as I get asked about Archers, I probably get double or triple the amount of advice requests from Mages.  From people in our academy, to random people I meet in Elderine, to even those that write me on the forums, aspiring Mages are always on the lookout for more information or a little help in choosing the right path.  And really, I don't mind it at all.  I'm happy to share what I know about the class while also hearing their side and considering their reasons for their differences from what I consider 'normal'.

Busy Busy Busy

Wow a post! xD

Sorry to have been lax on my posting recently, I've just been really busy and excited about the new repeatable quests that OutSpark added in last week's maintenance.  These quests were really what I needed to get motivated and finally get my Warlock's butt to 105.

And guess what?  I did it!

I was so excited to finally be able to wear a new set of armors, the pixel obsessed part of me is satisfied!, get some great new skill upgrades, and twirl around a fancy new wand!

Backwards Thinking? February 22, 2011 OSKI

 Alrighty, it's Tuesday, that means it's time for weekly Fiesta Maintenance!

If you're at all like me, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, I always look forward to Tuesdays to see what new wrinkles OutSpark and OnsOnSoft throw at us this week.  Exciting new content obviously can't come at us everyweek so oftentimes we're left with the semi-mundane, general housekeeping type of update, which is more or less what we have this week...

Finally! Leviathan's Nest - Warlock Set Completed

After literally months and hundreds of Leviathan's Nest runs, I've finally completed my Advanced Blast Set for my Warlock!  The boots proved to be highly elusive, not saying it drops less than the other pieces, it was just the hardest for me to obtain.  It was such a relief to see it finally drop, though I'm a little disappointed in how it looks.  It doesn't quite match the rest of the armors....

The boots have a shine to them that looks far more metallic and is of a lighter color than the rest of the pieces.  If it had been darker like the rest of the armor, it would have matched a bit more.  I guess I'm nitpicking though.  And the "panty" hat?  Ugh, couldn't we have just gotten something like the Wizards?

Curious what the Male version looks like?  Well here you go... it's um... different?

Guess this is another case of the female version of armor/costume looking better than its male counterpart.  Okay first off, what's with the exposed chest?  More akin to a Gladiator than a Warlock really.  Those dragon-skin looking pants are alright, a bit form fitting... but the worst part is when you turn him around....

Okay!  So what's with the target on his ass?  Now this has me worried... does my cutesy girl Warlock suffer the same indignity as the male version?

Hmm... okay there's still a bullseye there, but at least it's closer to her hip.  I can live with that.  I hadn't seen it earlier because I usually have the Arctic Fox Tail covering up her backside.  Excuse my huge sigh of relief.

On Vacation ... Yay!

 Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be on vacation until February 15th.  I had hoped to have a bunch of stuff written and set to autopost while I was gone, but I was far too busy at work trying to get ahead of my work.  I do want to wish you all a happy and safe Super Bowl Weekend and also Valentine's Day.

Will miss you all....

A SuperBowl Background

Hey guys!

As most of you can tell, I've finally updated my background image.  This is the fourth background change I've made, and first sort-of 'themed' design...

So who are you rooting for in Sunday's SuperBowl?

Me?  Unfortunately the teams I root for didn't make it, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the Steelers!  I don't care for Roethlisberger, but can't argue that the guy is a winner and a big-game QB.  Personally, I like watching Polamalu... <3

A long time ago I noticed that those Magmatons tend to go down in a 3-point stance and always reminded me of football players while I was out and about shooting down Jewel Trees, so I figured this was the perfect time to let the boys play!  As you can see, I couldn't fit an entire team of Magmatons in there, but it'll have to do!  Unfortunately the body of my blog blocks the Magmatons, so at least you can get a better view of them here.

I even made 2 cute cheerleaders out of my noob mage to root their respective teams on to victory (complete with team colors and signature cheerleader suntan colored tights!)!  What's odd though is that neither the Steelers nor the Packers actually have any cheerleaders!  Blasphemy right?  And at Cowboys Stadium!  The very site (well the old stadium anyway) where the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader was Icon-alized!  I guess the SuperBowl will be an eye-candy-free event for you guys.... but then again, you can probably just ogle all the babes in the commercials.

Fatal's Stone-cold, Lead-pipe Lock for this weekend:
Steelers 31  Packers 24.  
Polamalu - 6 tackles and a forced fumble. 
Book it.
