Back before there was MMO’s

Back before I started playing MMO’s I would go off with my friends and ride around. This is some of what we did. I do want to let you all know that, When we filmed this. It was for us, There was no YouTube, or at lest we did not know about it. We, I was a offline type of person back then. So we would ride a lot and film a little for to watch later that week, When we all was back home and working.This was a blast to put together and I hope you enjoy this as much as we had doing it.

Not looking good for Alik Steel

Last night I found out that the little bit of extra money that we (my brother and I) was using for bill’s is cut off. Maybe I should not call it a little bit of money, Because it was half of the money that was coming into the house. With all the money we had, We was just staying above the water line. Cutting that much money out, Will make us sink fast. Unless I can come up with something very fast, The power will be cut off this saturday, and soon after every thing else.

After I was out of work for 1.5 months, then my PC dieing and like a dumb ass going out and buying a laptop for $500 that I should have spent on bill’s. We have been going down slowly. With no money put up for something like this, Well, It don’t look good.

At lest I have this PC at work and can do things like this, But as far as gaming and things at the house. I will be in the dark, for real, with no power. This is going to suck, But I know I can deal with it, as this will not be the first time it has happened. Back before I got this shitty(Don’t get me wrong, I rather have this than nothing) little job, That pay’s very little. We was in the same boat, sitting at the bottom of the water. So this is not new to me. I think in it self the fact that this is happening again, Really sucks. Damn I really thought I was out of the woods.

 

So if the blog’s slow down, and you don’t see me on MMO Voices that much, Well you know I didn’t come up with nothing. In time I will be back in and playing and talking with you all.

(NSFW) The Gentle and more Sensitive side of me

You all know me as the Big Man, Who even after having his arm ripped off his body, Never made a sound. Yes I am a manly man. Most times I would crush who ever would dare to say otherwise.

But today, I feel as if I can share with you the gentle, and more sensitive side of me. And what better way than thru a song. I warn you, This can make even the most manly of men cry.

Downloading Video’s, and Extracting Audio from YouTube

Have you ever been watching a  YouTube video, and think,This is a great video. Or Damn I wish I had that song.

I know I was last night, so I went looking, and been playing around with Any Video Converter, and vidtomp3.com (BETA) and have found that they work great. I have not found anything wrong with them. But as allways when dealing with smaller sites there is a chance of getting something. I have a few hours in them so far and doing good. Any Video Converter is a download and it’s what I have been using to download video’s to my laptop, it even has a small editor built into it. Vid to MP3 is a site I have been using to extracting the music from video’s, and turn then into MP3’s for me. This site is in beta and does seem to have pop-up’s wanting to, well pop-up. Other than that it works great. I have got the one song that I have looked for off and on for years. The Benny Hill Theme song. Not that I have any reason to have it other than the fact it reminds me of when I was a very young boy. I would snick into the TV room late at night(or to me it was late) and watch the Benny Hill show on PBS that showed the BBC late at night.

 

Here is two video’s showing you how they are used.

 

Enjoy the new toy’s

To the Haters

I was about to do a post on my new MMO FE (Fallen Earth), But then stopped. A funny thought hit me, Most the blog’s I read are really well writen post about the game the blogger it talking about. It has fact’s and knowledge that is helpful to many people. Some blog’s review games and some blast them. All have something to say about the game.

Then I started thinking about my blog, my post don’t give out fact’s and as far as knowledge goes, Well I am all ways way behind the curv. I don’t log into a game and take notes. I play for the fun of playing, and in doing so I miss a lot of stuff. I also never write out a story of what we may have done in the game. To be honest, I’m not sure what I do. I jump on here and say a few things and off it goes.

 

So I looked up the meaning of the word blog and found this.

Noun

• S: (n) web log, blog (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) “postings on a blog are usually in chronological order”

Verb

• S: (v) blog (read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal)

 

So this is what started it all. web log’s was for diary and journal writing. I was really starting to think that I was not doing this thing right. I don’t have to have the fact’s, I don’t even have to know what the hell I am talking about. This is my Journal … O, wait … whats the meaning of the word Journal? Ok I got it, In my personal experiences and observations put down in my words as the way I see it. Good I can do that.

 

So you maybe asking yourself, What in the hell is this all about, Well you see there are few people that, Don’t see where I am coming from and with my thanks to them, Sent email’s and didn’t put it in comment’s. They have asked if I knew what it meant to blog, and do I ever have a point I want to make? Well from what it say’s about blogging I seem to be doing OK, and as for my point, You are right my friend. Most of my blog’s don’t have a point to them at all. I am just talking out of my ass as you have put it.

The name Entertainment on Saturday comes from when I stared playing MMO’s. My friend’s and I would log into Everquest every Saturday and play the game together. So if you do not find my blog entertaining on Saturday or any othere day, You can all ways choose not to read my blog.

 

This blog, is a way for me to put down what was going on with me. And like all bloggers I like the fact that people want to read my blog. At the start of it, I had a hard time with my spelling, I think I have gotten a lot better with that, and never once did I ever think that someone would call me out about the content of what or how I say it.

 

Warning I will keep blogging and I will keep doing it the way I have all ways done it, so If you can’t deal with it, Take a hike.

The Gulf of Despair

The best laid schemes of Mice and Men oft go awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain, for promised joy!
      — Robert Burns, To a Mouse (Poem, November, 1785)

 

I know, I know, It’s only been a day now, and I am talking of Despair. Well, when I got to work this morning and got the office open and ready for the day, I started looking around at what I may want to jump into next. Thinking there is got to be some MMO that was going to pop out at me, and I would be bouncing on my toes, waiting to get home and check this new(to me) MMO out. That did not happen!

 I have two MMO’s that I am playing around with, but not seeing them being any thing like a main MMOG for me. DDO and Wurm both are fun and I do enjoy my time in them, but it’s not like I had a month ago. When I could not wait to get home and get into EQ2. I have been looking at Darkfall, But I am not a big PvP player. There is a few more MMO’s that will be coming out soon, That look good, but I think they will be a lot like DDO, or Wurm. They will be fun to log in and hang out for a bit, but nothing like a mian  game.

The biggest problem for me, Is that I don’t really know what I want next. I am so sick of quest, I know I want something that I can do, Without having to deal with them. I could deal with playing a game that had quest in it, As I have done this for many years in a game that had the word quest right in the name. I just don’t want to find myself in a mmog that makes you do them to level, or skill up. Right now there just not any thing out there that would be a AAA MMORPG that fit’s what I am looking for. This is why I feel that I am swimming in the gulf of despair.

This is the first time since I started playing MMO’s that I have no idea what I want to play next, And it’s scary not knowing where I will end up.
