Day After Screenie

Its the day after my 35th birthday, no longer hungover, and feeling just peachy :)
For that, ye shall recieve a shot of a screen from the far away lands of Kryta... :P

Pathetic Soldier... Deluxe version
Yes, I picked the first option there. I was in Snowden Drifts, a Norn area, when I came acrossa heart quest that had me boost the morale of soldiers, aswell as kill centaurs and frostborn's... some of the excuses these soilders had were just pathetic...

Was fun.


On The Mend

When defeating the earth elemental, its final act, was to blow up in our collective faces. And the reason behind the blackness I experienced, was the debris that hit me in the explosion.
I awoke in the care of a priestess of Dwayna, who let me know that my friends Andrew and Petra had visited me a few times while I was unconscious. I need to see them, but the priestess asked me to return the favor of her assistance and care, by helping the local farmers around Shaemoor before I go back to the city.

I did as she asked, it was after all the least I could do. A farmstead across the river was being pestered by fruitbats and some rather larger spiders, and I also pitched in to help a fisherman who had an issue with some drakes that made life difficult.

At returning to the city, I had a run-in at the tavern with a bully named Big Nose Ted (a fitting name I assure you). I had it under control until some guards of the Ministry Guard showed up and their Commander Serentine tried to arrest me along with the bullies. It was good how ever that Captian Thackeray was around and could vouch for me.
Andrew, old friend and owner of the tavern, had been injured in the fight, so Captain Thackeray sent me to Lieutenant Francis for some medicine from the Seraph supplies.

Upon arriving to the Lieutenant, I told him about the injuries Andrew had suffered in the fight, but he had no medicine to give me. It seemed thieves had intercepted the latest shipment. But he did tell me where they were holded up, and pointed me in the right direction to the cave, not far from his post.

I was supriced to find Petra waiting for me at the mouth of the cave, and stubborn as she can be, she insisted to join me. I knew better then to argue with her.
Together we penetrated their defences and found the stolen equipment and supplies. To my suprice thou, we ran into Twitchy Jake, who should be in prison last I heard, he even mentioned Big Nose Ted as if he were to show up at any moment. I have no idea how Jake got out, but if he managed it, maybe he was right about Ted being loose soon too.

Lieutenant Francis were quite impressed that I managed to get all the supplies back, and true to his word, gave me the medicin I needed for Andrew. He also recommended that I spoke to Captain Thackeray about Twichy Jake and the conversation we had about Big Nose Ted.

I returned with all due haste to the city and Andrew to administer the medicin, and he showed immediate improvement. Both he and Petra were very grateful, and asked me to give their thanks to Captian Thackeray as well.

Hate Counting Shaemoor

2 days to go... then I'm 35 years old. An old fucker, with no hair... okey so I dont have hair becouse I shave it off, but still!!! :P
The day will be spent.. umm... Well it will start slowly, I'm guessing... and if the lady of the house is well enough, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some dirty, adult oriented game time!
After that thou, I'll be heading down town to Bishop's Arms and consume some beers with a few friends. Should be fun.. if not, I'll blame them :)

I will now change subject. I watched a show called "Uppdrag Granskning" (mission review) yesterday, about the hate and threats that was going on online. They focused on a few people, but one of them was a younger woman, cant have been much older then 24-25, who asked a clothing store (H&M) on facebook to remove a specific shirt from their collection, as it was not something anyone should be affiliated with. It was a picture of Tupac on it, and the text saying something with "thug life".
She felt it was inapropriate to sell a shirt that had a know, and convicted, sexoffender on it. Within minutes, and following hours, she was called a whore, asked to commite suicide, people wished she would get raped and someone wanted to piss on her. Over 2000 of these offensive and threatening posts were made against her, and H&M even told the reporters they had even removed over 3000 more that they never saw. So all in all, 5000 posts with threats and degrading comments, just for an opinion.
Now I normally take things with a grain of salt when watching things on shows like Uppdrag Granskning, who take up issues that are relevant and are happening in todays society. But this realy hit home for me. If a woman cant even express her opinion on a piece of clothing with a famous person on, without getting threats, without being called degrading and horrible things, without asked to take her own life, then what the fuck is going on?
The law cant do alot either, but I feel like the laws about these things should change. Becouse a threat in real life and a threat online, is equally bad and terrifying. Now we all know that most, maybe even all, of these threats are hollow and empty, but what if one of these guys/girls were serious? And they actually sought her out and did what ever they said they would do?

Eitherway, I find it to be degrading to all humankind, that people can go this low.

And I hope the laws change to better deal with this shit.


Defence of Shaemoor

My normal duties in Devinity's Reach had to be put on hold today. A village on the outskirts of the city, Shaemoor was attacked by centaurs. These vile creatures starting burning buildings and both killing and kidnapping its people.
I arrived shortly after the initial attack and help as best I could to defend the village.
After a rather short battle in the center of the village, we managed to drive them back to the nearby garrison, where I meet up with Captain Thackeray and a handful of soldier.

Wave after wave of mad centaurs came at us, but the thinn walkway to the garrison and the small opening proved to be the perfect defensive position for us, and after a time, their champion emerged.
Before we had a chance to kill him, he put a magic protection barrier on himself, and ran back out, we followed suit and was meet with a giant earth elemental on the fields just outside the drawbridge. A pair of giant hand made from stone, dirt and debris was coming out of the ground and by the looks of it, was about to do something terrible.

It took all our strenght, but we destroyed it... all I can remember thou, was an ear shattering sound, and all went black.

Sister Hammer Sweating

Felt sweat runing down my chest today when biking home from work... it tickled :)
So the warm shower shortly after returning to my home sweet home, was like mana from heaven. ^^

Usually when ever I go on twitter, yes I have an account, no I rarely post anything... at all, I see crap, useless posts, or tweets, from people I like, some pictures, both funny, sexy, interesting and wierd... but sometimes its just a post with a fuck load of hashtags, like #sexy #cool #image #whatever... just posts full of em... why? When you click those, you just get a page full of worthless tweets with the same stupid hashtag.

But then there is this guy ... I love following him. And the latest I've seen, made my evening.


I love the character Thor, as well as the actual mythological Thor... and boy is that a strong fuckin dude!

Time for that thing I mentioned in my latest entry... the mini blog.
And just for the record, I do like to get some kind of feedback on this. Good, bad, needs change, needs more info, what ever. Dont be afraid, give me your ideas.



I am Sister Diina, a Guardian of Kryta. I have the armour and the aspirations of a conqueror.
Kormir, the goddess of truth, blessed me when I was just a girl, and thou trouble may follow me, I overcome it with my natural ferocity.
I was raised by good common folks in Devinity's Reach, and there I have done plenty of hard, but honest, work. To this day, the only thing I regret, is not searching for my true parents.

In these pages, I shall wright my history.
In these pages, I shall tell you my story.

The idea is to post one of these, short or long, at every entry I make... atleast until her personal story is complete.

Back to Basics Screenie

Here's an old sunday screen shot topic... Guild Wars 2.


Its from a quest I did with some character... no idea which one, but its a nice loading screen to say the least. The quest was called.. well you can probebly figure out what it was called :P

Anyway, the reason I went back to a screen shot of Guild Wars 2 (all thou I doubt I'm gonna make a habit of it) is that I not only have started playing it more... but that I had an idea with the game and this blog.
Now I dont know if anyone would have any interest in it, or even care, but I wanted to make a "mini blog" within this blog.
What I mean is, I give you updates and a few images in this mini blog on the adventures of my rather newly created character called "Sister Diina", She's a Guardian, a sort of holy warrior that can both damage and kill its enemies and heal and protect its allies. Use a shield, a mace, a staff or even a scepter to manage these things. But when ever they want to make life difficult for the enemy, and dont have to worry about their allies, they can switch it up with a big two handed hammer or sword and beat the living shit out anything thats stupid enough to stand in the guardians path. :)

What ever the case... if you, my dear readers, think this is just an aweful idea, tell me, and I'll ignore you, or if its a great idea, let me know.. and.. well, nothing will change :P

Scan 4 Life Incomplete

I bought some stuff on monday, a whole bunch of stuff... well maybe not a bunch, but a few things... a few new pillows (that cost virtually nothing), a new showerhead that I cant install couse I cant remove the old one :P ... a bike, a few inches too small, but it was cheap, and I can use it without any difficulty.
And I also bought a new printer with a scanner.
This has lead me to be able to turn some old photos into digital photos... its awesome!!!
And to share this new found greatness, I shall give you a picture of me :)

I dont know how old I was there, but as you can probebly imagen, I wasn't very old... I think it's safe to say that it pre-dates the internet :P
The picture is taken in a yellow (duh) car somewhere in Norway.
Dont know if it was a camping trip, all thou I wouldn't be supriced at that, we did alot of that in my early years...
Come to think of it, I miss camping... need to get out into the wild some more.


Anyway, the bike!!!
Its making me dirty.
This weather is creating puddles and sluchy on the road, and the mudflap isn't really helping all that much.. my backpack is not only blue and black, but it now also includes light brown polkadots :P
These dots also shows up on the lower part of the back of my jacket ^^

Thats life thou...

And as I said, its a few inches too small... but with the amount of money I have to spend each month, it was either pay 2200 bucks for a right size bike (if the old memory works properly about that number that is), or go down 2 inches and 1200 bucks... The decision at that moment was easy... So what if I have a slightly smaller bike for a few months or even a year or two? It works! I'll get a better one later when the cash flow is better.

On the gaming front.. got some idea to pick up Guild Wars 2 again. Dont know why I stopped.. but one thing is for sure... a lot has happened since last I visited the world of Tyria.
And since I haven't played in a while.. I wanted to start from scratch (sort of, I mean I still have some gold, gathering materials, and a few skills at high lvl to help a new character along). So I made a Mesmer, a wizard/sorceress that uses manipulation, mirages, confusion and controls the enemies. Currently I have a massive two handed sword as a main weapon.. and belive it or not, but its a ranged weapon in a mesmers hands :P
I'll see if I cant get some evidence of this at some point.

Far Screenie 101!

The 101st blog post is a sunday screenie entry! Go figure :P

Gonna keep at the Far Cry 3 screenie for this one, couse its such an awesome game. Dont have an action screenie yet, couse letting one hand all of the sudden run off to push the "Prt Scr" button when you are being fired upon, is not a good idea.. but I'll work on it. Perhaps can get the button macro'd to some other button.

Anyway, this on is just a screenie of an early mission, where I use my camera to zoom in on, and pinpoint the loaction of, the pirates, and also figure out where my main targets are...

The guy with the yellow thingy over his head, is my main target... he and 2 others.
The mission tells me to not get noticed, so I cant just kill em all and get the keys from the main target to get to the radio, thats an automatic fail. So I have to lure them away by throwing rocks around, then sneak up on em, stab em with a big fuckin machete and then drag their bodies way to hide em.

Anyway.. if memory serves, I failed shortly after that screenie was taken, so I had to try again :P


Anyway... we'll see if you get more of these.. if not... oh well :)

100th Celebration


It is time to celebrate my good friends!
For this is the...

100th Blog Entry!!!

Yes folks, you read that correctly, I have to this date, made, and written one hundred blog entries. And to celebrate this "First Edition 3 Digit Blog Entry", I thought I might wright something meaningful... or funny.. or crappy...

So come along for the ride, a ride noone knows where it might end up.

My first thought of a celebration thing I could do, was to make a video of me playing a game, and doing voice over, either at the time I was playing, recording both my voice and the game in one file, or record the voice after and add it to the video.
Then upload said video to youtube, and post it here for all my fans (?) to see.
But alas, so is not the case.
For you see, I have a crappy voice (according to noone else but me), an even crappier microphone, and a computer that makes all the videos I record laggy as hell, so who would ever want to watch that shit?
So in the end, I made the decision to not torture people with that, and instead make a regular post here, like any other day of the week.

But ofcourse, its not like any other day of the week, its not like any other of the entries... is it?

No it is not, for this is the 100th entry... yes I might say that a few more times... and thus, I must celebrate it.
For you see, I never thought I would get this far. I never thought I would even get as far as 10 entries, and definitely not over 25... So reaching the 100 marker is a big deal, atleast for me.
Now granted, most of my posts have just been screen shots of games I play, once per week, or very long "facebooky" entries, with some added images I find littering the interwebz.
But you have to admit, there has been some deep thoughts here too, like my Wolves of Chaos entry way back when, and ofcourse, a shit load of gaming stuff like the Derpy Sniper entry.

I cant say that much will change on the blog after this entry... I mean, why would it, I'm happy with it.. granted, I wish more people would comment more, but I wont lose any sleep over it either. And I sometimes wish I had some deeper shit to say more often... and not just "deep" shit like the thing with the sex toys... that wasn't very deep, just a cold hard fact... ^^

Hmm speaking of commenting... lets take requests. Do YOU have anything you would like to see me adress, wright about or post screen shot of? If so, let me know, and it might not happen... see what I did there?
This is my blog, I wright what I want... all thou, if someone actually has a good idea that I like, ofcourse I'll wright about it, why wouldn't I?

One hundred... its a big number... but this isn't the only thing that I will be celebrating during the coming weeks... I will also celebrate, with my fiancée, our 2 year anniversary and a few days before that, my 35th birthday... I'm old -.-
Not to worry thou, I dont feel very old... parts of me sure, like my back, but I'll fix that with some much needed exercise... come spring time... until then, I'll just keep the body healthy with some minor weight lifting at home... got stuff for that you know.

So thats 3 different celebrations early in the year of 2013. All importaint, some less then others, but all adressed.

So what should I talk about now then?

Gaming? Movies? TV shows? Boobs? No not boobs, this is a "Safe For Work" blog after all... and if I start talking about boobs, I'm just gonna want to post a pic of a pair... cant have that now can we? If you wanna see boobs, just enter it into google... or look down if you are a girl.

But why not, lets talk about those things, all of em, from the first to the last.

Gaming first then.
I am currently playing... ummm... 5 different games. Not all at once ofcourse, that would be silly, but I do play them alternately, these are, in no particular order (but close to it) Far Cry 3, Minecraft, Metro 2033, Tourchlight 2 and Saints Row the Third. I alos play a bit of Warhammmer 40k Soulstorm when I'm bored too, but mostly just skirmish matches which never last for more then 10-15 minutes. Or I dabble with some game I never finish... like Warhammer Space Marine (posted a screenie of it before) or some Spore.

Movies! I look at them... what else is there to tell? I've seen alot of em... the latest one I've seen, all thou, it was a while back, late last year... as in 3 days before the end of the year, was The Hobbit. First thing about it... the Lord of the Rings trilogy was based of 3 books, so one movie for each book... the Hobbit is one book... so why 3 movies? But I wont complain, the movies are great, not my favorites, not by a long stretch, but they are fantasticly made, the cloths, armour, weapons, dialog, scenic views, makeup... well to the say it plainly... even if you dont like the movies, you just HAVE to appreciate them... Just wish I could get someone to get that ^^

TV shows. There are none... and by that, I mean there are no more episodes of any of my favorite shows going now!!! I miss the Sons, I miss my Dexter... I look forward to quite a few shows actually, but Sons of Anarchy and Dexter is the top 2 of em. After that, I guess it would have to be The Big Bang Theory... I'm sorry, I'm not that into The Walking Dead anymore... its just the same shit every time, and no, I'm not explaining that one.

Told you I'd post boobs
Boobs! Fine we'll talk about boobs... I like boobs. I like my fiancée's boobs. I like almost all boobs... couse they are BOOBS!!!

During the course of wrighting this entry, I have been listening to Foo Fighters... no idea how many songs have been playing by now, but I just love em to death, so I dont mind if I've heard some twise... all thou, its 54 songs in t his playlist, so I dont think I've heard any of em more then twise ;)
Might aswell talk about some music too... I like music... kind of like boobs, I like most music, some more then others, and some I just dont want to hear at all. Currently I like Foo Fighters, Rob Zombie, Slayer, Queen and Flyleaf the most. There is atleast one of these bands playing each day.

You know what?
I think I'm feed up with celebration now.
Gonna make sure some pictures are added and placed good, then call it.

Cya (on the 101st entry)
