Obsessed
October 15th, 2007 by Missy
And so it starts again. I bet you’ll never guess what my latest obsession is. Blogging, apparently. I’ve spent the entire day looking at WordPress skins and planning one of my own to create. I run into one small problem here, in that I am a moron at coding and photo editing. I made Dan spend like three hours trying to fix fonts for me because I am completely incapable of doing so myself :p In any case, I doubt any amount of whining or nagging will get Dan to edit my picture for me, since we don’t actually have a photo editing program, unless you count The Gimp. I hate The Gimp. I can use PSP somewhat, and could probably eventually with hours and hours and hours of work accomplish what I set out to do, but no amount of staring at The Gimp is going to save me.
As an aside, I hate EVE. Not that EVE is a bad game, mind you — I am just a very jealous person. Jealous in that I always want Dan’s complete and full attention. I love playing EQ2 together, but I just can’t really get into EVE and Dan loves EVE. And Dan playing EVE = Dan with no ears. Which leads me into my next point. I also hate Vent and TeamSpeak. Vent and TeamSpeak also = Dan with no ears. I understand why people like voice communication crap, it’s cool to chat and all that, but there are a few things I can’t stand about it.
- People who refuse to use PTT (push-to-talk) or otherwise think that everyone wants to know that their mother wants them to take out the trash.
- People who become so dependent on voice communication software that they can no longer read guild / group / corp / whatever chat.
- The people who have their mic volume so low that you have to turn your speakers up to max to hear them, followed by the people who have their mic volume so high that they blow your speakers when you turn them up to hear the idiots who can’t figure out how to turn mic volume up.
- Raids / big events in which commands are given solely via voice so that if your kid sneezes while something vital is being presented, you are unable to hear it.
- Idiots who insist that it’s impossible to run a successful guild without giving your raid commands via voice communication software.
- Idiots who didn’t play EQ1 and therefore have no right to talk about successful raids since NO GAME has raids as complicated as EQ1 and GUILD CHAT WORKED JUST FINE FOR US KTHXBAI~! La. QQ.
- Adorable husbands who spend too much time listening to people through their headphones instead of through their living rooms.
