Lent

I'm not even Catholic, but I've decided to take part in Lent this year.

For those of you who don't know, basically you give up something important to you for 40 days and 40 nights (not including any Sundays that pass during that time). It's supposed to prove to yourself (and/or God) that you can overcome your desires, and that you can go through with your vows/promises (since like everyone's failed their New Years' Resolutions by now). It starts on Ash Wednesday (which was Feb 25th this year) and ends on the day before Easter.

Some people give up little things, like Coca-Cola or candies. Anything that distracts you, or that you're obsessive over, or that you tend to crave is a good candidate. My best friend gave up music a year or two ago, and she said it was hard.

I'm giving up Video Games and the Mabinogi World wiki. I'm one of the top contributors to the wiki, and I monitor every change made to it. I'm quite OCD over it. It's my baby. And that's why it has to stop.

It'll have to survive without me for a month or so.

With all the free time, I plan to:
a) study more (I got a 7/12 on my last calculus-based physics exam, which actually somehow turned out to be an A- with the T-score grading scale, but still, that 7/12 was waaaaay low.)
b) read more books (currently reading in Fantasy: David Eddings)
c) work on comic!!!! I'm so behind =(
d) read the Comics Curmudgeon every day
e) religious studies? We'll see ^^;;
f) Megacon tomorrow!
Okay, by now I'm off-topic.

Wish me luck.

X-COM: Apocalypse - Game Editors

Image
Previous --- Index So you're getting frustrated by all the agents you've lost to the brainsuckers. Or maybe the enemy UFOs are way too powerful and keep destroying your hovercars in one hit. Don't feel bad for resorting to game editors. I did. Here's a little guide on how to fix yourself up using a couple of game editors. Midnight Editor The first editor I'm introducing is Midnight Editor, made by Marcin Wichary. You can download it and some other tools here: http://www.devisraad.com/xcom/apoc.htm Open the editor, click the "Savedgames" tab, and load up your game (it must be a save in the Cityscape). This editor is very easy to use. The "Bases/Buildings" tab allows you to finish all buildings being built with one button, and allows you to change the cost of buildings. You can also easily modify your cash on hand. In the "Vehicles in Stock" tab you can change the price of vehicles at the store and how many are

Owner of the premier Ragnarok Online Sprites Archive . Admin on the forum and wiki at Mabinogi World . I'm also on Twitter . Backloggery page Steam Archive of Our Own FFnet tumblr live:fwuffles on skype If you ever want to contact me, add me on MSN or email me at: fwuffles ((((@)))) hotmail.com I don't check the email very often. Twitter is actually the best way to talk to me, and then skype. I used to post mostly about Mabinogi , an MMORPG developed by Devcat but published by Nexon . I have long since quit the game, so now this blog is basically abandoned, but I keep it up for reflection. This blog was originally on wordpress, but I moved it to blogger because here I have more control over it. Some posts may have an original post date listed at the bottom; this is why.

How to download and install KR Test Client

Image
Since I've been told this blog is the #3 result for "KR Test Client" in google, I felt I should at least add some guide on how to get said client. 1. Go to KR Mabinogi's website: http://www.mabinogi.com/c3/ Note: You must use Internet Explorer . 2. Logging in is not necessary; you just need to navigate to the download page. Mouse over the computer picture and select the first button that comes up underneath it. Picture below. 3. Click the test server client. It's the second orange button there and has a gamepad with "TEST" written over it. Picture below ( click to enlarge ). 4. Begin download. 5. Install client when finished. Note: DO NOT install it to the same folder as another client, or else it will overwrite that client. Q. But won't it overwrite my CN/JP/NA/TW server install? Nope! Test server shouldn't cause any conflicts with the server you already have. This is because the Test server has a registry s
