Dawn Razors: AoC - Hibernation Status

February 22nd, 2009

One of the premiere AoC PvP Guilds, Dawn Razors has recently announced that it will be going into hibernation status in AoC. In other words, the leadership is no longer actively supporting a guild within the game.

Here’s the official post from the guild leader.

For many reasons, most of which have nothing to do with the actual guild and more so the game and lack of PvP content, we are not able/willing to maintain a player base large enough to field a healthy fighting force.

So for now we are going to take an official break from AoC for at least a month or two. If a patch happens that provides a _real_ reason to PvP, we will be back in force and I will tap our entire roster to return, as well as do my best to revitalize our forces in game.

If the above does not happen, then we will have various side games and stick together in a less grandiose fashion. We will also keep a lookout for upcoming MMO’s that may prove to be competitive and enjoyable for our full force. On the horizon we have a few members going to scout Dark Fall, and we have our eyes on Earth Rise as well.

So the bottom line is this:

We are not disbanding or merging, the majority of us need a change. The ones that wish to stay in AoC and fly our tag are more than welcome to but there won’t be much support.

Hopefully things in AoC are not over and FunCom does something to keep peoples attention. If not then we have had a hell of a run in AoC and we will have more epic PvP in the future in one mmo or another, it’s just a matter of time.

Cheers,
Uthril

Attack of the Geese!

May 9th, 2008

Canadians know that geese are pretty vicious. They are psycho, shit everywhere and are terribly aggressive.

Most obedient dog ever, especially when it just sits there as the goose tries to bite it. Also, that man is lucky beyond words. A goose wing is strong enough to break a grown man’s leg. Think again if you want to try lifting it like a chicken in Chinatown. Weighing in at 20lbs, grabbing it by the leg is a good way to break it’s leg… and have your own broken by it’s 4-6 foot wingspan.

On that note, maybe geese just REALLY don’t like dogs. See below for proof.

The Wild Canada Goose has also been known to drive out other birds (including ducks), and completely ruin crops (common in the prairie provinces). It’s not a common sight to see hunters setting up their blinds around migration time. I hear they make for pretty good security too, if you raise them.

They might be pretty tasty too.

RE: Japanese Bug Fights… and Ninja Lawyers?

May 2nd, 2008

Some of my readers have commented:

Bah! They took down the bug fighting webpage :X

-Uthril

Pffft…probably interweb ninja lawyers.

Heh…that’d make a good flash cartoon.

-NT

While the main page for Japanese Bug Fights is down, the rest of the website ISN’T. Because if it was, how else would I bring you this?

or this?

Man tries to cash check for $360,000,000,000

May 1st, 2008

Yeah, that’s right, $360 billion.

Charles Ray Fuller tried to pass a $360 billion check, which he says was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business. He got arrested on April 22 on an accusation of forgery.

The personal check was not made out to him and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write out a check for $360 billion.

How stupid can you be? His story doesn’t end there however

He was also accused of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of marijuana. He may also be facing a theft charge.

What Game Now?

April 21st, 2008

So while I wait for my minions to finish researching Paper, I thought I’d write up a post.

My gaming lately has been rather low. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as I do have exams this week, it does present a problem for what I’m going to do AFTER exams.

The only game which comes out SOON that interests me is Age of Conan. That’s May 20. It’s currently April 21. I’m done exams on April 24. Thus a problem arises.

I have the parts sitting in my computer room for a new computer. I won’t bother listing the parts or anything since I’ll be putting together a post when I get the last part (RAM. Corsair, why do you take a month to make my RAM?). I’ve been considering picking up CoD4 and giving that a whirl.

Otherwise, I’m bored. I have WarCraft 3 (and it’s custom maps: DotA, Castle Fight, Civ Wars, Fortress Survival Alpha 4.20). Thanks to StoneToad, I have a browser game, Ikariam.

But I need MORE. Give me your suggestions <3

Theme Songs

I think I found another song that would be fitting as my theme song.

Best Argument For Global Warming Action

April 3rd, 2008

Probably the best argument I’ve seen for taking action against global warming, even if it’s not real.

Japanese Bug Fights!

April 2nd, 2008

Searched Shina’s blog for this, since I was sure she’d have it. Imagine my surprise when I didn’t see it there.

Japanese bug fights is EXACTLY what it sounds like. Japanese, and they have bugs battle it to the death! Ever wanted to see a scorpion fight a beetle? Maybe a hornet vs a praying mantis? Now you can! Site is here. Some of these fights are truly epic ^_^

Below is a centipede vs a scorpion

Film shorts!

April 2nd, 2008

I’ve been busy lately with school, one of my “cooler” assignments was making a short podcast about the effects of digital innovation and cultural transformation. My group chose the topic on electronic waste. Thus…

I also made a recruitment video for my guild in Age of Conan. Music by another guildmate, cheesy voice over by the guild leader.

That ends my shameless plug for my guild and Age of Conan. Some of you scrubs from LM better join me >=(
