Today I Smiled: Storm King's Thunderbolt Fantasy

"Hey, you're one of the heroes who has beaten Baphomet, slain Orcus, and helped defeat Tiamat! Can you please go catch 200 fish for us?" -Lonelywood Moron

I'm now a few days into the Storm King's Thunder Module in Neverwinter Online, and while it's pretty cool thus far I do have to question the inclusion of that moronic fishing quest at Lonelywood, perhaps designed by a crazy who worships Slenderman. It does seem to be very grindy campaign wise too, but I'll wait till I'm further along before commenting more on that. A little disappointed that there are no living root bridges at Lonelywood too, almost as much as learning that AllSpice is not all spices put together.

In blog news, I'll be starting up my Dark Souls adventure log shortly so that there's more variety than just Skyrim all day, everyday. What really has me smiling though is this show Juris and I stumbled on last weekend called Thunderbolt Fantasy. If you like anime, then give it a try. If you don't like anime - STILL give it a try because holy heck, does it have a strong opening. Even my wife got sucked in right away. Not bad for a show using dolls / puppets huh? That's it for today - not leaving a usual music clip for you this time because the music in Thunderbolt Fantasy is awesome enough. Seriously though, watch it! :P

It's the best puppet show I know of!

Merry Christmas 2015!

Just a quick Merry Christmas post to you all! I got some nice goodies this year which I'll probably blog about at a later post, but for now please enjoy a safe and happy holiday season! Since it's the correct time to post it - here's a Casting Crowns carol courtesy of Aywren who made me aware of this song. =)

Coming up next on the blog is the "continuation" of my Darklands tale, which I think I'll be trying to switch back to a daily schedule for. As for New Years Resolutions I'm only going to try have one for next year, and that is simply to Create more and Consume less - a simple yet undoubtedly difficult plan.

For your Christmas bonus links: Here's a site called Flight Aware for those interested in seeing how much metal is overhead and how much traffic Santa's had to contend with this year. You can search for specific flights or by airports. Supposedly Heathrow is the busiest, but just scroll out to see the madness worldwide!

Lastly here's a spot you can watch this crazy anime called One Punch Man for free. I briefly mentioned it before, and continue to recommend it as something crazily different from the standard fare. Your mileage may vary.

Music to Hunt By

I know almost everyone has their own custom playlists of tunes when they get tired of the in-game tracks, I was just curious as to what you listen to get your "hero mode" on? :) I suppose I should lead by example, here are mine (strangely all from Vindictus):

Havan
Crom
Sand Guardian
Regina
Ahglan
Glas

Yep, what might be amazing for me is probably just noise for the next guy so please share your top tunes to hunt by!

And just for laughs, here's an awesome English fan dub/cover opening for the new "One Punch Man" anime! For those who haven't seen the series, I suggest watching the first few episodes as it is quite entertaining.

Coming up next on the blog: I'm going to try out a week or two of MMO Agendas (much like the ATITD test) that I hope all of you participate in, followed by the continuation of the Darklands story and more of my Nameless Writing Experiment sometime in the future!
