Token Female Gamer

This actually happened yesterday, but since it was already deemed Raptr anniversary, I decided to hold my PnD crazy until today.

100 consecutive log in days, sort of speaks for itself. I might as well just admit to having ever so slight of a Puzzle and Dragons obsession. Bonus was that they gave me 10 free magic stones, which I already spent. Nothing noteworthy.

It might be entertaining to muse about how my next PnD update will be on day 200, but it would all be lies. We all know that its a running Puzzle and Dragons commentary around here. I just can’t help myself and since its my blog, I can spew PnDness as much as I want. HA!

I woke up this morning with a huge sore throat and simply stayed in bed for as long as I possibly could, abdicating all responsibility. But I couldn’t sleep, mostly because there is a huge Puzzle and Dragons special event going on this week and I HAVE PLANS! Thankfully Puzzle and Dragons is guaranteed to make me better (this statement has not be verified by the FDA). And yes I really am sick.

The event is the super awesome 20k Likes on FaceBook Community Appreciation event. Plus the Scotch Dragon for this week is Lagavulin, which I am totally not prepared for and now all week we have a special dungeon a day. No wonder I played all day. There is so much to do I could probably easily play all week. 120 hour marathon!

In other fabulous April news (quick before the month is over!), Geek and Sundry has  been renewed for season 2 and its already begun airing brand new shows!! The announcement went live very close to April 1st, thankfully it wasn’t a joke and Geek and Sundry will remain alive and youtubing for another year. (Yes, I just turned youTube into a verb!)

Much of the show line up has changed and though I’m sad to see Sword and Laser go, I am super happy that Space Janitors finally has new episodes. It is by far the most entertaining show I’ve seen on youTube, probably ever. Then again I don’t go in for most of the reality based stuff that youTube panders.

But the best thing to come out of this announcement was the message that Felicia Day shared in her announcement video. After lamenting the commodification and hate mongering that has become the Geek online life, she made a call for taking it back, to honor the Geek we want to be regardless of anyone else’s opinion. “Your Judgment is not my problem” sums is up quite well and is a sentiment that I can fully support. Go Felicia Day!

Having recently finished the StarCraft 2 story, I have only one piece of advice, when in doubt choose purple!

The Veronica Mars thing has been so distracting I totally forgot about Pi day. FOR SHAME! So happy Pi day everyone. (Thats all I got, pitiful, I know!)

In other Veronica Mars news, the Kickstarter offered more bit parts in the movie for exorbitant amounts of money and once again they are all sold out (over $3million now). My yearly budget is very happy that I wasn’t able to snatch any of those up, but my inner dreamer is crying. ~sob~

<3

Was just wondering, is there a movie you guys would pay $10k to have a small speaking part in?

Holy shit, the Veronica Mars Movie Project is happening and all it took was a day. I can only imagine the scrambling that is going on behind the scenes trying to figure out some interesting stretch goals. Not that the fans don’t have plenty of suggestions, it is the internet after all.

With thirty more days to go, it will be interesting to see how much they end up making. As it stands right now there are still so many people giving money, you can literally watch the numbers increase. Its rather mesmerizing.

Someone tell Joss Whedon! Who knows, maybe a Firefly movie will show up someday on Kickstarter. Better start saving my money now!

This movie is happening!

Power to the fans. =P

OMG WHY AM I NOT FILTHY RICH?!?!!? Probably because I would spend it all on frivolous things like being in the Veronica Mars Movie!!!

In all seriousness I am completely happy with my financial standing, but every now and then a spare $10,000 would really be sort of nice for random dream fulfillment moments like getting the chance to be IN the Veronica Mars movie!!!!! Yup the top tier Kickstarter reward is a speaking part in the movie. Clearly I am not the only crazy fan who is willing to throw money at this project because EVERY tier above $500 is sold out. Ever single one.

This movie is happening!

Now I have to go rewatch the show. I might not be in the movie (sniff sniff) but I can at least support its awesomeness. =D

The release date for the Zerg expansion to StarCraft 2, Heart of the Swarm, is just around the corner. It was clearly time to get ready! Which is what I did yesterday, not that it too much time. Blizzard is incredibly efficient at taking my money. Just went online and ordered the digital collectors edition. Only reason for the collectors is BATTLE PETS!

Check out this cute little dude:

Anyone else planning on playing?!

You know how I said I would stay away from Kickstarter, well I lied. Mostly because totally awesomely fabulous projects keep being offered. Damn them! The Maze of Games book is such a project.

The Maze of Games is a full-length, limited edition, hardback puzzle novel with over 50 puzzles and a deeply engaging story, all woven together in a “solve your own adventure” style which will keep you jumping from page to page. This innovative format has never been seen in a puzzle book before, and will be delivered to you in a gorgeous illustrated tome.

As a huge puzzle fan and a voracious reader of choose your own adventures (as a child) there was no way I could pass up this fabulous opportunity to support this artistic combination of the two. It looks simply enchanting. They are even going to be making a ebook version!

Anyway I could gush more, but really just go check out the page for yourself. Its at least worth a look. =D

With the recent new computer purchase I spent a bunch of time going through my old picture files. Turns out that I had a hidden stash of old EverQuest pictures. As per request I am downloading the best here to share. Funny enough, most of my pictures turned out to be me casting illusions on everyone. Lot more trolls and dwarves running around then usual. =D

I will note here that though I played on two different servers, these are all from the Inner Loop Guild that played on the Rodcet Nife server. Can do Fourth Wall next if there is demand. =P

Images are after the jump since there are quite a few of them.
