you where one of my first followers :D. you should promote meee
Where would I ever begin? Your blog has a lot of pretty much everything and I think those that follow me should, at the very least, give it a once over. Plus, I’m digging the music there, not generally a fan of those with auto-play on their Tumblrs but, in this case, it’s acceptable. Very chill stuff.

They were gonna do a subscription fee, and they said it'd be like $5 a month. But then I guess they changed it into premium packs so you have to buy civilizations separately. Like the Greek premium is $20, you only have to pay once and you keep it but if you want full access you have to buy every single pack. It adds up. I would have preferred a subscription fee, it seemed reasonable. But it's still not as good as the earlier AoE games so it's not worth it to pay lol
This is why “Free to Play” exists: It means more money for the company. There are a few games out there that do it in a way as to not reward those that pay money over those that don’t, but even those work in ways to get people to cough up money. The best of those do so in a manner that players won’t even notice. They do this through charging small amounts for things plays might need on a regular basis and then they end up spending way more than they even realize.
The worst offenders, however, charge for things that players need to have in order to get the “full experience”, and it seems as though AoE Online falls into this category. Sure, one could play without purchasing these other things, but they will feel as though they are not getting all they could out of the game. If one were to buy all of the “premium” content, they would spend equal to or more than the price of most games found on the shelf.
It’s a nasty trick, really, but one that has proved very lucrative for companies. I have only found a few examples of games that are free but have “premium” content that does not effect the game at all. However, these seem to be a dying breed as companies realize they will get more money out of players if they have to pay to stay competitive or to get more out of the game. By breaking this content up into pieces, it makes the players feel as though they aren’t spending as much.
Free to Play is a joke. A very bad one at that.

Welp, time to clean out the bomb shelter and get the rations and water ready.
sunshadowpoet asked:
Mace Windu's lightsaber is the wrong color.
Ah, this would be in reference to this.
You are half correct in saying such. The full answer is that Ki-Adi Mundi and Mace Windu’s names, or Lightsabers, have been swapped. The sad part is that no one else seems to have noticed this… Everyone that has seen the movie should know that Mace is the only Jedi EVER to wield a Purple lightsaber. That was a special request Sam Jackson made and Lucas granted. A simple search on Google would easily confirm the mix up on this picture (though I knew just from looking *adjusts glasses*).
Seeing as you are the only one to respond, though, you get a cookie. Where am I mailing said cookie?

Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear you went through a similar loss. I have dealt fine with it, but there's always a sadness, I actually cried writing that post.
On a lighter note, that's a cool icon. It's the sweater like that or is it photoshoped? If it's a sweater, watch it close or I'll steal it when you're not looking, haha. And if it's shopped, nice job.
Her name was Killer, and she earned it. I got her from my grandparents for one of my birthdays. I don’t remember the details, just that she was half manx with this cute little stub tail that would twitch when she was concentrating on something. Usually, when she was ready to attack, which was constant. If it moved, it had to die. This counted for feet, curtains (which made the living room look cool at night, what with all the holes) and of course our dog at the time. He was a big lovable lump of a Black Lab whom we called K.C., don’t ask what it stood for, we never really thought that out. He adopted Killer as his “puppy” and would clean her regularly. I’d often see him roaming about the house with Killer practically attached to his face. As Killer got old, she got better at killing and we’d always find “presents” hidden in the oddest places. We tried putting a bell on her, and the only good it did was to let us know where she was. She still managed to kill birds somehow. Of course, collars never lasted long on her, she was quite the escape artist. We found a sister for her, a pure bred manx that was living under a building at my elementary school. She was given the name Luna by a friend of mine, and it fit her, what with her large eyes and space-case disposition. Luna was not the hunter that Killer was, and worked on a catch and release principal, which was a pain when we got a dog door. Years later, after we had moved, we lost KC. He was old, and had developed a tumor in his throat. There was not much we could do. Some time afterward we ended up getting Kip, the fluffy fluff brained chow/golden retriever. He’s a good dog, just had bad previous owners and it’s taken me years to get him remotely trained. One Easter morning we found a little black bunny in the backyard, and he’s still with us. Despite his old age, North still goes ballistic when a banana is put in his cage. Luna and KC would visit with North all the time, and I wonder if he misses them. Kip doesn’t seem all that interested in the bunny. Both Killer and Luna wandered off into the night, and we never saw Luna again. Killer came back for a day, as if to say goodbye. She was gone for almost a week and I frantically looked through all the shelters in the area for her. She would always sleep on or near my feet, quick to attack them if I moved. Often times I wonder if I would be less restless at night if she was still there, ready to pounce while her stub tail twitched.
As for the sweater, the picture is indeed photoshopped as there is too much light for it to glow. It does in fact glow though. Both sweaters are from Threadless and reffered to as My Other Ride Is A Light Cycle, for obvious reasons. The grey/orange is the Sark variation, with the teal/white being the Tron variation. Sark glows orange, Tron Blue. I bought the first one, despite the price tag and color, since I’m a pretty big fan of the original movie. When the Sark variation was released, I broke down and bought it too…

you are so sweet. thank you for your compliment. don't worry about me, i've developed quite the thick skin when it comes to arseholes like those anons. i hope you can see where i'm coming from on all of this! i didn't realise one poem would cause so much hassle!
I see it perfectly. It’s a bit unfair, them and their words I mean. I mean, you’d think you were Milli Vanilli or something similar. Now, had they left it at that, I’d not have said a thing. We all have a right of opinion. Sadly, they couldn’t leave it at that and so neither could I. However, any argument they had was rendered invalid when they slung an insult, so I really didn’t need to say much. I love it when idiots shoot themselves in the face without having to help them. Oh well, i guess the funs oer now, poor kid never stood a chance.
Choose your battles wisely, kids. Else you end up looking like a right git.
