The election went well. As usual my opinion didn't particularly matter in my state but hey, it was only an hour and half wait up four flights of stairs and I did get 10% off my latte at my writing group meeting. It's all a wash in the end.
I may have done something brilliant or really, really dumb. I signed up for NaNoWriMo and I'm hoping to finish a 50,000 word novel. So far I have an outline, six character sketches and about 4000 words, which means I either need to bust out a couple of 6000 word days or I'm not going to meet the deadline.
I'm also entering the Creative Loafing writing contest. The prize is actual money so it's worth a go. It's a fiction contest with the theme as "The Meaning of Life is..." As usual I'm writing fantasy.
I love Kickstarter. Being a part of tons of awesome projects is really cool. If you're a gamer this project is pretty cool: Dice Rings
My husband and I have decided to fly the geek flag high and make these our wedding rings.
Off to write until my ass falls off.

Remember, Remember...
-
- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I know of no reason
- Why the Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
- Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
- To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
- Three-score barrels of powder below
- To prove old England's overthrow;
- By God's providence he was catch'd
- With a dark lantern and burning match.
- Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
- And what should we do with him? Burn him!
- I found out about Guy Fawkes day from V for Vendetta. Now for a confession, I liked the movie far, far better than the graphic novel.
- Yeah, I know. Blasphemy.
- It helps that Andy and Lana Wachowski wrote the screenplay.
- Tomorrow is the big day to me. Crossing my fingers and hoping against hope that maybe we'll get the candidate that terrify me with taking away my access to healthcare for my daughter's condition and make sure that I have to face constant rhetoric about what I should be allowed to do with my body because of the 50% chance or so I had for a birth gender happen to fall on the making babies side.
For those curious, I am aware that a woman, artist, liberal is cliched.
If I survive that heart being in my throat and my stomach gurgling acid into my abdomen, I'll be writing more.

Things Eating my Brains
I haven't been able to post in a while due to a few factors: being terribly sick and having my brains eaten by tons of awesome things. I'm going to let you know what I've been on about so maybe you can have the pleasant brain eating that I've had.
Brains.
First off, an awesome thing has happened to YouTube that has exponentially increased my viewing, Channels. It's just like a TV network only with fewer shows and you can watch whenever you want. My favorite channels:
Geek & Sundry: Headed up by Felicia Day and many of the awesome people behind The Guild, I got totally addicted to Felicia Day's Flog (her video blog) and TableTop with Wil Wheaton a show that is part instructional video part game tournament in a way that makes you want to break out every board game you own or pick up a few dozen and play, play, play! You can also watch Dark Horse motion comics, the video version of Sword and Laser (book review podcast) and a fun little show called Written by a Kid. Also, The Guild with annotations, auditions and tons of extra stuff.
The Jeff Lewis 5-minute Comedy Hour: I found out about this online sketch comedy show through Geek and Sundry, it is hilarious but totally NSFW (you have been warned). Jeff Lewis plays Vork on the Guild and tons of the same people show up.
There are lots of other awesome channels but those are the two I have been devouring lately. The Nerdist is also a good one to check out if you are a little bit more generalized in your geeky fun.
Then there are the video games, I have an odd waxing and waning cycle with video games, I don't play all the time but when the mood strikes me I will sit and play for days. I do get up to pee though. Which I suppose only makes me sort of, a gamer. Recently, I found Gamer's Gate which is a site dedicated to download only games. The prices are really reasonable and they keep a record of what games you have bought so if your computer decides to bite it, you still have your game. I found all of the Dragon Age games for a ridiculously low price. I've played through the PS3 versions of the games an insane amount of times but I had to recently get rid of my PS3 (seriously sad face), so I had to get those games again. This time I was able to afford for my husband and I to both get the games. No more fighting over play time, hooray!
Games I've been playing over the last two weeks:
World of Warcraft: I fell in love with this game back in 2004 and I've been playing it ever since. I've had a few breaks here and there because of real life considerations but I always come back. I just got into the beta for Mists of Pandaria and it has been a blast so far.
Dragon Age: Origins: So much more fun on the PC (or Mac) than on a console, I really prefer having a mouse and tons of keys to work from than a controller. The entire series is now available for PC&Mac, Xbox 360 and PS3, and it's usually pretty cheap, so go play it if you haven't already.
Star Wars the Old Republic: As I have previously mentioned, I am a massive Star Wars nerd and so I was really, really looking forward to this game. I played for about a month and a half and in the end I have decided that while it's a solid game, it's too time intensive and frustrating to play on a regular basis. However, if you don't have kids to take care of and really want more roleplay elements in your MMO gaming, I highly recommend you try it out. It's a windows only game, though so if you're like me and have a Mac, it'll be a bit of a pain to play.
So, I'm a fan of Wil Wheaton, not that surprising considering my love of the internet and Star Trek. The fact that he is also a gateway drug to so many awesome things, if you aren't already following him on twitter, you really should be, while you're at it you can follow his brain and his dick, his dog and his cats. I think Wil Wheaton may have a twitter problem. Through him I found out about The Bloggess. Who is completely hilarious and her blog is totally worth wasting hours and hours learning all about her husband, her daughter and the various critters that hang about the place. Because they're dead. I am not kidding, y'all. While you're at it buy her book "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" because it will make you laugh until you hurt in some really amusing places. It's available for Kindle as well as hardback.
Now go forth and enjoy the awesome! I'm off to laugh until I choke.

The Attention Whore Conundrum
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Geeks are so Mainstream
Hey, you. Yeah, you there, no, you the person who is raging about there not being any "real" geeks or nerds anymore and who thinks that we should be trapped in a narrative that puts people into a permanent high school dynamic, that's right, I'm talking to you. Stop it.
Millions of people all over the world watched Star Wars. A huge number of those people loved it or at the very least enjoyed it. Star Wars is un-fucking-believably popular not because of people who make it a point to know about every detail of the world but because of everyone who saw the films and enjoyed them. Almost everyone I have ever known has seen this movie. It has entered pop culture and even people who have never seen this movie know the characters and are familiar with the basics about it. Star Trek, Babylon 5, Buffy all of these shows were on national television. Millions of people watched at least some if not all of these shows and many, many more.
Just because you call yourself a Geek or a Nerd, you aren't special. Lots of other people like what you like, too and even if they don't know as much as you or didn't watch as many episodes or didn't go to that convention last month, those people still have just as much right as you do to label themselves any way they want to. What people mean when when they say "You aren't a real, Geek/Gamer/Nerd" is "You aren't a Geek/Gamer/Nerd the way I am or I find acceptable." This is hardly a standard by which legitimacy can be determined.
If a cheerleader wants to put on a pair of thick black glasses and call herself a nerd, I say, more fucking power to her. If she wants to post pictures to the internet about it, so what, that's what the internet is for! If someone who is popular and accepted in her school is calling herself a Nerd/Geek or whatever, then that means that we won.
When I was in public school, being a nerd or a geek was a sure way to be bullied, tortured, harassed, assaulted or generally made miserable. Now it is becoming accepted, Nerd is a point of pride. Does it end bullying? Fuck no, but it takes one more tool away from the little shits who think that calling people names is funny. It doesn't matter that I was bullied or that you were bullied if what we are doing is turning around and bullying people because they aren't fitting into our stereotypes properly. Why the obsession with being an outcast? Accept that people don't think it's that weird to watch Sci-Fi shows or play video games and just be fucking happy.
I am.
Oh and by the way, Hipster is not synonymous with condescending, arrogant asshole. Just like Geek isn't synonymous with intelligent, tolerant, awesome person. Both are just references to what part of pop culture a person identifies with, that's it.

Riding a Purple Magic Pony
Recently my husband got his dream job ruling over the data farms as a Linux Sysadmin. I get to hear all about what he does at work and as someone who was a former Apple employee and PC technician, I don't know a damn thing about Linux and this is largely an ignorance I have cultivated. I am a hardware person, I love the parts and the puzzle of putting them together and getting them to work. Learning Red Hat seems like choosing to learn an obscure foreign language I'll only ever speak with my husband, never mind that actually sounds kinda cool. Off to borrow his books on Fedora Core.
Ok, I'm back. Red Hat also apparently is really awesome about spreading around the free marketing swag. One day, Colin was sick and lost his chance at a red felt fedora just like the one on the Red Hat Fedora logo. He didn't quite degrade to lip quivering but there was definite shoulder slumping. Today he came in with a ball cap, a pen and a mouse pad. I made sure to look appropriately impressed by his swag.
Colin: You know, Red Hat is really good about swag, we all got some really cool stuff.
Me: If you're into that sort of thing, yeah.
Colin: Yeah. You know what I never see? The Windows admins never get Microsoft swag. I find that odd.
Me: Yeah, well even if they got it, they probably wouldn't wear it.
Colin: Why not?
Me: Well, you wear that stuff and think it's cool because it's relatively uncommon for people to use linux. So, it's like showing off that you can do something awesome that not that many people can do.
Colin: And the logo is cool.
Me: Yeah, much better that multicolored geometrical shapes.
Colin: I suppose that's true.
Me: Linux geeks are all proud to show off their Linux flavor logo just like Mac geeks are all happy to show off the Apple. What has Windows got? Also, it's dead common. Very difficult to be proud that you can do something everyone can do. I mean it's as if Linux admin's ride a silver surfboard to work, Mac admin's ride a purple pony that can do magic and Windows Admin's drive a car.
Colin: So even if it's a Maserati, it isn't a purple magic pony or a silver surfboard that can go through time and space.
Me: Yep. I mean, would you wear a T-Shirt proclaiming by inference that while the rest of the world is filled with magic ponies and silver surfboards that the only thing you can make work is a car? That's pretty weak sauce.
Colin: Admittedly, getting those silver surfboards to work is a total bitch sometimes.
Me: When when you do, it's cool.
Colin: It can even be fucking awesome.
Me: My Point. Purple magic ponies on the other hand are dead easy.
Colin: I suppose that explains why you ride the Ponies.
Me: Too many years of driving a car.

When MMOs Collide with Geekery
This past week has been insane. Getting kids ready to go to Grandma's house and arranging the travel then getting my husband's new computer, which was an adventure. Then the shopping trip to try and get the kids out of the house for a while which turned into another adventure. This year seems like it's just going to be full of adventure. This does not bode well as my adventures tend to include missed potties and whinging teenagers and me having to build something. Somewhere in there I did get time to play video games, because if I didn't I would go insane.
As a long time World of Warcraft player, I have a pretty soft spot for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. As a longtime nerd I just like RPGs. So, after mentioning them in a prior post, I ventured out and played both the Star Trek Online MMO and the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. I have discussed my feelings about Star Trek and Star Wars, so as a hyoooge geek for both I had some really high hopes. STO was first up as it was free to play and as I was just coming off of two weeks of a full on Star Trek: TNG binge. The character creation was amazing, I had tons of fun going through the myriad options, I could spend all day just making characters. Unfortunately, as it has gone free to play there are lots of things that you have to buy Cryptic points for, having more than one character is one of those things.
I might like STO if it wasn't free to play, but somehow I doubt it. I am still contemplating going back as it was at least more fun than The Lord of The Rings Online. I may not though as I really hate it when a free to play game totally milks it and I mean milks it so hard the poor cow is chafing. The movement isn't as responsive as I've gotten used to in WoW and the ship play was slow and rather meandering (granted this probably gets better at higher levels, I didn't stick around too long). I could get over all of that though if it weren't for two things that just pissed me off so badly I logged out right then and there.
The first time I rage quit was when I had gotten to the planet Vulcan to complete a quest. I was playing a Vulcan and when I was faced with some serious allegations of wrong (or at least weird)-doing I was given NO option to try and find out what was going on without having to go through with letting the overly emotional VULCAN ambassador onto my ship and then take full responsibility for him. Every single bit of rpg and Star Trek nerdishness in me was screaming "IT'S A TRAP!" I did it anyway because I didn't have any other quests or ways to get experience other than this quest. Fine, okay, I can fudge this little storytelling thing and carry on. I get to the planet and three warbirds come out of cloak. They hail me rather than blowing my very small and insignificant ship out of space. Great! an opportunity to talk a problem out. NOPE!! I'm calmly asking questions (really, I was searching for the, I test the damn ambassador, because it's logical and turn him over, again, logical) and when there was no option but to attack, and my tiny insignificant ship blew the warbirds out of the sky. I logged out with a vengeance.
The second nerd rage incident was less story driven and more just my irritation on having to pay in game money to do a quest. I mean really, not having to pay credits for an item to complete a quest, no, I got the quest but to travel to where I would have to do the quest I had to pay energy credits, the same thing I use to buy gear. This felt like such an arbitrary way to reduce the amount of money I had so I would have to buy Cryptic Points, that I again nerd raged and logged off.
Ok, so STO is a bust. Maybe if I had more patience or wasn't as much a fan so I couldn't point out all the inconsistencies or, hell, maybe if they were just subtle. I left my illogical Vulcan and deleted the entire program. I do have thoughts that maybe if I don't play my favorite race or if I just spend a little money... nah.
On the other hand SW:TOR is a thing of beauty. The game play is responsive and I love that there is so much voice acting. Hearing my character talk is awesome, I just wish there were different voices per race as well as class. I really can't complain about much, the story is consistent, I love the social options and the conversations are incredibly immersive. I don't like some of the choices that were made for the Jedi Consular, for instance, I hate Qyzen Fess. Consulars are supposed to be diplomatic, concerned for the welfare of others and generally trying to avoid combat (their spec lines bear this out at least) unless absolutely necessary. My Trandoshen companion on the other hand, hates it when I care about others and really can't stand it when I think of an option other than let's just kill 'em all and let the scorekeeper sort them out. Gah! I really just cannot wait until I can get another companion, but I think I'm going to be waiting a while. To make up for this, all of the Sith are British and I can't help finding this utterly hilarious.
SW:TOR just came out in December and it is most definitely not free and it's specification requirements are rather high if you want to be able to run the game at anything but low. The ongoing fee is $14.99 per account, per month just the same as WoW. So far though, I made it all the way to level 13 and I'm still having a blast.
Happy Hunting,
A Big Fat Nerd
