WNLO showing Legend of the Seeker at 7pm EST in Canada

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find a station showing this here in Canada, and it figures that it would be playing right when I *should* be writing for NaNoWriMo, and I’ve read a LOT* of bad reviews on the show – but I’m going to watch it anyway, and be happy with it. Why? Because what other option do I have right now for a fantasy based tv series? Bad or not I’m going to enjoy it.

Anyhow, if you live in Canada, and have Rogers digital cable, you can find it on WNLO (channel 166 for me, not sure about everyone else) – hope everyone else out there managed to find it on too who was looking for it!

Thank You – and Little Big Planet Pre-Order is IN!

 I didn’t game yesterday, being busy with other things, but I did want to send a quick thank you to Calreth and Kasul for sponsoring me in the NaNoWriMo event that I’m taking part in. You can find all the details as well as up to date posts about this event here. Thank you for sponsoring me, the extra motivation to finish the 50,000 words by the 30th of November is great. I’ve raised 80% of my goal so far, which is actually more then I thought I’d do, so that’s wonderful! There’s still time to sponsor me, so go check it out if you’re interested.

On the gaming front – EBGames called me last night to tell me Little Big Planet is READY to be picked up! I have no idea if the game is actually live yet, you may recall that it was supposed to release last week on the 21st but was postponed due to some offensive religious lyrics in a song. Apparently these were patched out of the game and things are ready to go. Or at least I get to stare at a pretty box for a few days until it goes live. The store doesn’t open for another 3.5 hours, so I’ve got some time to waste until then.

** Edit ** Another huge thank you to Jason (Odius) for his huge contribution! Now the pressure is really on for me to finish this by the end of November *grins* Also thank you to Heather, and David who donated. As of right now I’m 80% through my goal! WOOT!

Nostalgia Meets Again – BoT

Last night Nostalgia met again, as they have been since last April. Hard to believe so much time has gone by. I had not been going for the past little while, caught up in other things – but decided it was time to rejoin the gang. We had a full group last night, and we’re still hoping maybe a second will start up. It’s not too late, though I completely understand how people don’t want to be starting from scratch or leveling alone. We had a mercenary tank who did exceptionally well – despite breaking mez a few times. A real tank would of course be better, but we’re just so very happy that the adventures are not at a stand still when we can’t fill the group. As Tipa said “It’s hard to explain just how much the mercenaries of the Seeds of Destruction have changed EverQuest. It’s like a whole new game, now.”

Qutey is now sitting at level 62, and part way into it. The experience was not amazing, but none of us expected it to be, BoT is not a hot zone any longer. We got a few drops (and a few drops over and over) as well as some vendor fodder and a few gems that can be cut. 

We all gathered in the voice chat in game, our resident bardling was having some issues with his computer unfortunately so we switched over to vent. It was nice to hear everyone again. We didn’t even have any deaths last night, go-go team awesome! Not to mention I had an absolutely wonderful time. Every time I play, it reminds me why I love the game, why I love the people I’m with. 

I’m thinking of leveling up a bard, just for fun. We’ll see how it goes.

Today I’m headed out for Pho with my brother (it’s the most awesome Vietnamese soup evah) and then after that I’ll be headed into the city (contraire to popular beliefs I don’t actually live IN the city of Ottawa, I sort of live on the outskirts) to watch Feist in concert at the NAC (National Arts Center). I’ve mentioned this a few times now, I know. I can’t help it I’m VERY excited. Concerts give off an aura and feeling as you watch, surrounded by everyone else. It’s just amazing. Plus – I have 3rd row center seats. 

WOOT
