My soul is being torn in twain!

Yeah, that title was really emo, I’m sorry for that. There are so many MMOs that I want to play, though. Blizzard’s claws are still firmly sunk in to me, but… but I got in to the Guild Wars 2 beta. That was pretty fun. Thankfully GW2 doesn’t have a subscription fee, so I’m free to just have that forever and just play it or don’t play it whenever I want without managing a nozzle that attaches the game to my wallet.

But TERA… Oh, TERA. It grabbed me by the balls and it won’t let go. Now, while I wait for the next WoW expansion to come out, and while I wait for GW2 to be released, it seems okay to indulge myself in it’s gloriously refreshing true action combat system… Grinning while I slaughter fields of unicorns, laughing at the asian culture influences, all while playing a character that’s so pretty it hurts.

It’s so good… I’m afraid of what will happen when WoW finally opens up the pet combat system that I’ve been waiting for. What am I going to want to play more? I’m only level 16 in TERA. I’ve barely scraped the surface, but I’ve become so quickly obsessed. Is the end game going to be even better? Will it be boring? I almost hope it won’t be good just so that I don’t have to choose what I want to play when the time comes.

Something inside my chest is writhing. I know it’s not a heart because I’m pretty sure I don’t have one of those.  I think it might be a war over my soul.

Abraham Lincoln, save me!

“16th president and first super hero”

And now, for a limited time only, we have a new Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie poster background.  I’m so super excited for this movie. I read the book and became obsessed, and today at WonderCon they’re going to be showing exclusive new footage! Huzzah! I only get to watch via the live stream… but still!

So, I figure I’ll put up the picture, since it looks badass. And it can stay there until the movie comes out on June 22nd… and then depending on if the movie sucks or not, it might stay a little longer. We’ll see! I think it looks neat for now.

Edit: Oh my dear god. New trailer from WonderCon. Holy shit, gun-axe. Gun-axe.

Now we’re cookin’ with… PHP. Again.

I really like WordPress so far. I wrote the theme for this myself since there wasn’t really anything pre-made that was close enough to what I wanted. I think I did alright. I’m pleased to know that I still remember how to code HTML. So, that’s something. The layout is almost done, there’s just a few more things I need to work out and then I have to finish importing my old content, which has been going surprisingly quickly.

Really, my main concern at this point is that I’m going to end up with a repeat of PHP Fusion, where the security holes did me in. I’m hoping, though, that since WordPress is so vastly popular that those sorts of issues won’t be a problem.  I guess we’ll see, in any event. I’m keeping my old site where it is for now, just in case.

Anyway… that’s pretty much it. I don’t even have any plans for more content right now, I just felt like switching the back-end randomly. So… yeah. Maybe I’ll come back later and ramble about tabletop games or something.

Trying out WordPress

Yeah.. site looks like shit right now. I’m trying out WordPress. Seeing if this new and exciting thing is for me. For now you can access my old home page by clicking here. It might give you some insight if you’re wondering what the fuck I’m doing.

Update:

This seems to be working out alright now. I’ve got the format set up a bit. Obviously there’s still a lot more work to be done, but I think in the end this will be pretty neat to play with. At least until I get bored with it. I’ll probably start migrating over posts and content as I keep working on the format, but still for now just use the link above to go back to the old site.

Back to tinkering

02 - 29 - 2012 -- 5:15am

Well, I posted links to things in my SchorlCraft page. And so, there’s that. I don’t really feel like talking about that, though. I feel like tinkering with the back-end of the site again. After using stuff like WordPress and Blogger for other websites I’ve worked on recently, I feel inadequate hiding behind CMSimple. Not that I don’t like this back-end. It’s serving me well and I’ve been completely secure and hack-free. It’s great.

I just need to tinker, though. I can’t help myself. Anyway, I’ve got a few days off, so I’m going to waste my time installing WordPress and seeing if I can make that look just like this site, or maybe even better. Because I’ve grown kind of attached to the layout I’ve built here… but.. then there’s the possibility of floating transparent tables and such… I’ve kind of been wanting to something like that, instead of having the static tables…

Anyway, this may or may not be the last post on this back-end. We’ll see! Maybe it’ll be cool the next time I post. Maybe it’ll be the same. Maybe somehow I’ll make my website implode and you’ll never hear from me again.
