City of Heroes
When I should have been rehearsing what I'll be reading tomorrow at the WYSIWYG Show, I had a friend come over and soup up my PC with a better video card and more memory so I could finally play City of Heroes. Naturally, I had to make a HOT superhero who is a Magic Tanker named Geardagh who wades into battle with his Stone Fists and then poses after he defeats the bad guys. Got my butt kicked a lot too, but oh well. See you on the Virtue server?
Tomorrow's show:
Greetings from Lake WYSIWYG: Summer Camp Stories
Tuesday, July 19, at 7:30 p.m. at
Performance Space 122
150 1st Ave. at East 9th St.
Tickets: $7
I'll be sharing my tales as a Lutheran bible camp naturalist raising awareness in the "Creation Center," chainsaw mishaps, boiling deer skulls, adventures in composting, and my short stint as an actual counselor and the resultant temper tantrum.
The WYSIWYG Talent Show, the first-ever all-blogger series of readings and performances, brings you a celebration of mosquito bites, bunk beds, toasted marshmallows, and makeout sessions behind the dining hall with “Greetings from Lake WYSIWYG: Summer Camp Stories”!

Waaah - stupid frickin EU servers - no fair, I wanna play hide the superpowered spandex sausage with Jimbo.
Got COH last night - spent two hours playing endlessly with beard styles and a variety of sexeh costumes.

Geardagh needs to be shirtless. I want to see his magic furry chest.

And I was just beginning to enjoy the lawn dart through the head pic.

I love the Versace, but you should have given him a little bit of a belly and had him scratch his privates after battle...now that's hot!

Geardagh is pretty yummy - but of course i wouldn't expect any less from a virtual-Jimbo ;)

Gads, that is the worst game ever.
And by worst I mean super addictive that I had to actually follow a 12 step program to finally kick the habit of playing 12 hours a day.
