I know it all

[quesarah]

After reading gonzo21's recent post, the answer became clear to me. We need to pack up all of the gun-toting evanelical Christians in the US (believe me, there are plenty) ship 'em off to Afghanistan and Indonesia, and let them have their holy war. What do the rest of us care? They can thump their Bibles and Korans and wipe each other out. End of the problem.

I have been asked for a proper interview. I just need to find out if they want a presentation with the interview. Hoo doggies.

Still want to sit on the couch and play KOTOR. Now I have to finish playing through with this character, then go back and play a boy, then go back and play a bad guy. So much gaming to do, so little time!

Need more coffee. Off to attend to that.

Many thanks. I'll apply it as the mood strikes me.

I'm so so so so so happy you have an interview!

Hey, I've already got a bad girl started, I just need to get finish my Morrowind game. I just love my gay elf in his shiny, shiny clothes.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

The big gay elf is super fabulous in his shiny shiny clothes. He's your favorite character ever.

[wafflelips.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think the thief was my favorite. She was fabulous.

But the Big Gay Elf is Faaabulouuuuusss! And shiny!

I agree with everything you've said. I don't refer to you as "oh wise one" for no reason. You's smrt. Vary smrt.

I see that you have a gaming addiction though. Hahahahaha! Wait until you visit us. We'll get to play lots and lots of games. gossip_ho doesn't really like a lot of video games so I never get to play with anyone.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my child. Some day, with enough discipline and maple you may be as smrt as I am.

I am looking forward to much gaming fun when we visit youse guys. Hee!

[spacey-lee.livejournal.com]

You should try Angele's Socom game. It's got a headset that you can use to shout out instructions to your men. It has really cool graphics too.

I don't like fighting games that much so we may disagree on what to play. I'm more of a skateboarding Tony Hawk kind of gal.

I am so smart! S-M-R-T! - Homer Simpson

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Oooh, shouting instructions! Do they understand swearing? "Kill the motherfucker!"

I think I'd like some maple today. Care to join me on a Tim Horton's run?

[spacey-lee.livejournal.com]

I don't think they understand swearing. This is a wholesome war game. The kind your mother would approve of. I believe the commands are something like "alpha clear the area" and stuff like that. Angele has passed the first level and she has a strategy book on it. It's really cool to watch.

I'm all about going to Tim Hortons. Let's get outta here. :)

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

This is a wholesome war game.

Ah, I love a wholesome war game. So does my mom.

All right, we're outta here. Time for Timmy's!

I have been asked for a proper interview. I just need to find out if they want a presentation with the interview. Hoo doggies.

Woo-hoo! I will state again my official opinion that you will find a wonderful job with a business that fits your needs because your talents, personality and vision will shine through.

Still want to sit on the couch and play KOTOR. Now I have to finish playing through with this character, then go back and play a boy, then go back and play a bad guy. So much gaming to do, so little time!

I understand. I am still stuck in the last encounter in the Black Vulkar base. The pair of Twi'lek badasses there are just kicking my ass, even if I lob in some grenades to kill off their lackies, and even if they are taking massive damage. I keep getting a TPK every time. I guess I could sell out and try to turn on the other gang, but I don't want to do that. Not this game. But I seem incapable of bringing these Twi'lek bastards down. Feh.

I keep playing out this scenario between games of Halo and thinking, "man, the Master Chief would have these fuckers for lunch."

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I have two interviews. I'm meeting with Al's boss tomorrow morning. Whee!

But I seem incapable of bringing these Twi'lek bastards down. Feh.

Which characters are you using, and how have you equipped them?

[king-ghidorah.livejournal.com]

I have Mission, Z, and my character, renowned scoundrel Ham Salad. (It was gonna be either that or Luke Warmwater). Mission and I are in medium armor (mine is upgraded). Z has his upgraded bowcaster, I have had mission use a heavy blaster and a disruptor rifle, and Ham has used either heavy blaster or the upgraded experimental vibroblade. . Z and Ham wear CON booting belts, and I hop everyone up on adrenal boosts, put up shields, and lob grenades, to no avail. I have seen the Twi'lek bastards take 20 - 30 hit points and still drop all three of us. Hell, we haven't even taken down their guards. I am at a loss to think of what I can do. It's not just a lack of firepower. These fuckers just keep standing. Maybe sending in both Ham and Z with melee weapons might be necessary.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

First, I recommend switching Carth for one of the others. find him better in a firefight, particularly if you upgrade his blaster pistol. (Truthfully, I didn't find Zaalbar useful until I got on Kashyyk. But that's me.)

Second, I'd think about putting Mission in light armor. When playing female or slight male characters, I tend to equip them with light armor. I find that the bonus of having greater dexterity outweighs the negative of less armor.

Third, everybody gets two weapons; I couldn't tell from your description if you've done that. If so, ignore this bit.

Third subA, Mission makes a lovely grenadier. Put her script as such and let her go.

Fourth, when all else fails stock up on medpacs and keep an eye on their health.

Good luck!

[king-ghidorah.livejournal.com]

I made it out and onto Dantooine. I attribute my success to some different decisions than you.

Carth is okay for a ranged guy, but ranged weapons suck the big donkey dick compared to melee weapons as far as damage potential goes. And using him to fight with two weapons does drop his hit chance a bit. He gets much better in a couple of levels, though.

I switched Ham to his upgraded vibroblade, kept Mission on her grenade lobbing duty with pistols to follow up, and gave Zalbar a vibroblade too. The damage potential was much better.

I went back and to the garage, got a droid to bust open the garage door, and defeated the cryo-ray droid. From that room I grabbed three more plasma grenades.

I returned to battle the Big Bads, but this time, everybody dropped the big-ass grenades, then a couple of frag grenades then Z and Ham closed to melee range, where the magic of upgraded vibroblades and the power of wookie limbs changed things around a bit.

Things I would note:

1. Mission's dex is too low to get switch the light armor... yet. Even so, the total bonus will be almost the same until her Dex hovers at 18 or higher. This is a truism in d20 system games on the tabletop or on the computer. We'll see.

2. Two weapon fighting is great for beating on low-level thugs (if you have the feats to offset two-weapon penalties.) However, it's a tough call on the big bads. The total potential damage is higher, but the rate of success is lower... and if you are fighting a Sith knight able to dish out huge damage, then things get ugly. Same goes with flurries. More useful against little guys.

3. Healing in combat is rough. Every time you heal, you aren't doing damage, but you are taking damage. And if you wait until you are weak enough to need it badly, then you are taking a big risk. If you heal when you are moderately wounded and the battle is close, then it is a good risk. Otherwise, it seems to be a losing choice in combat. The best defense is a good offense.

4. Missile weapons suck ass. Ham Salad now is much more dangerous with a pair of upgraded vibroblades (Mission didn't really need that vibroblade, did she?) and he will get nastier with a lightsaber (or two, if I can swing it eventually). Two pistols, however, are not so kickass. Thus Ham kicks much more ass than Carth, hands down.

'Kay. But who struggled with two Twi'leks and who moved right past them? :b

[virginmartyr1.livejournal.com]

brilliant brilliant solution...make sure all the crazies are confined and can't escape and it'll be perfect. *evil grin*

I have been asked for a proper interview. I just need to find out if they want a presentation with the interview. Hoo doggies.

woohooo. they've asked you for a proper interview because they know what's good for them. :) is there a date set yet for said interview? yay for interviews to get you out of the current crappy job. :)

Still want to sit on the couch and play KOTOR

again, still haven't played, but would be more than happy to be spending my day on the couch playing...it's dreary and yucky and it's perfect stay-at-home-and-don't-work weather.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Well, there are two now. One is tomorrow morning. Another is for sometimes soon, but I haven't scheduled it yet. Zoom, it happens quickly sometimes.

again, still haven't played, but would be more than happy to be spending my day on the couch playing...

One of these days, when our lives aren't quite so hectic (that'll be what, May?) you'll have to come over to play.

[mystikalwomyn.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! Congrats on the interviews! Getting the interview always seems like the hardest part - I have a feeling that you are a knock-em-over-with-your-wonderfulness interviewee. Go get em!!!

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)
