Time for another obligatory status update from beyond the grave! (Bonus points: I'm posting it on Halloween too!) :P


House!


Just moved in to my first house (not counting student digs) which is exciting times. Got settled now, but still tons of painting to do, and random fluff to buy and decorate the place with. Expensive!


YouTube!


My YouTube Channel - Shameless Plug: www.youtube.com/user/RangersOf… - is going from strength to strength. Now at over 1,000 subscribers (YAY!). I've also started livestreaming on the channel, so keep an eye out for future streams and drop by if you're interested!

Main series currently running include (but are not limited to):
  • The Lord of the Rings Online
  • TellTale's Game of Thrones
  • Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
  • TellTale's Minecraft: Story Mode (Coming soon TM)

Life!


Job is going well. Been there almost three years now (in March 2016). Got another payrise this month, with a further payrise and promotion scheduled for April 2016, so life is good (handy since I have so many bills to pay now, GAH!)

Recently went to the League of Legends 2015 World Championsip Quarter finals in London, (all 4 days!) which was bloody awesome. Managed to meet two of the casters and get photos with them (Deficio & Krepo), and get myself on the official livestreams repeatedly (even a nice solo shot! YAY! Naturally doing what I do best - Pirating the winner's interview, recording it on my tablet :P). Also managed to troll on the 4th day. You can get some Coca Cola branded signs to put your own designs on and hold up during the day. I decided to troll hard and wrote "I Prefer Pepsi" on mine (I don't really, but the temptation to troll was too strong). Got that repeatedly on the livestream too (Look for it at the first crowd shot on day 4, KTB -v- KOO). Coke hate me now, lol. Will be getting a recap video up on the YouTube channel at some point.

Bye!


Hope all my friends on here are still doing well! Sorry I don't check here enough and comment on all your art and cosplay photos as much as I would like :(


And those people just randomly dropping by and finding some of my ancient art and favouriting it or downloading the wallpapers: you guys are awesome too!

88: Still Alive

3 min read
So yeah. I'm still alive and kicking. Just haven't been doing much in the way of art of literature type creative-y stuff of late. Still keeping busy with other stuff however

THE RANGERS OF ERIADOR WEBSITE:
My Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) kinship (aka guild), of which i am the guild leader. I did a massive redesign of our website, doing everything again from scratch by hand, which kept me occupied throughout the first three quarters of 2012. If you're curious about what it looks like the link if below. And if you fancy playing LOTRO, come join us on the Snowbourn Server!

www.rangersoferiador.com/

THE DRACOMANCER WEBSITE:
Was retired in late 2012 for a number of reasons. I didn't have the time to update it, and there wasn't a large enough audience to warrant the time required to do it. I haven't been spending much time on many of my creative projects, so it wasn't really worth renewing the site. Plus it had got hacked in some capacity by spammers towards the end of its existence. For now, DeviantArt is the only home for my eternally ignored creative projects :P

YOUTUBE:
Since the start of the year, i've been bitten by the YouTube bug, and have started recording "Let's Play" series, as well as many gaming related videos. That growing and gaining popularity rather nicely at the moment (and heck, it could eventually even make me some money!).

Currently got videos for:
+ The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) - Only Miscellaneous vids atm, but planning on a massive "Lets Play" series, as well as tutorial vids in the near future.
+ Deus Ex
+ LEGO Lord of the Rings
+ FTL: Faster Than Light
+ League of Legends
+ Kerbal Space Program

Coming in March 2013:
+ AVP: Aliens Vs Predators
+ Minecraft (Yogbox Mod Adventure Playthrough)

Probable Games For The Future:
+ Mass Effect Trilogy
+ Deus Ex 2 & 3
+ More Minecraft Mod series
+ Half-life 2 (inc. Episode 1 & 2)
+ Mechwarrior  3 & 4 (Inc. Expansions)
+ Serious Sam
+ From Dust
+ Freespace 1 & 2 (Inc. Expansions)
+ Command & Conquer

If you like watching gaming videos, particularly people failing at playing video games, then please check out the YouTube channel below :D

"I'm sorry sir, they jumped just before the missile hit," reported the lieutenant. Grand Admiral Alex McCarthy pounded the table in anger.
"This is the greatest embarrassment in the fleet's history!" he roared, "and it took place under our noses!" My nose, he thought. It was bad enough that a senior fleet officer could commit such treason. It was worse still that he could be rescued given the extensive security on the ground. But in orbit was his flagship, the Zeus. A newly-commissioned super-dreadnought, the only one of its kind. It was a symbol of strength and leadership for the fleet, and already it had a black mark in its history. The battleship Typhon was also present, but had also failed to prevent Kane's escape.
For the rebels to escape his clutch – It was a huge personal embarrassment, let alone a coup for the so-called Resistance.

Resistance: Vol.1, Chapter 1
Act of Sedition
Resistance: Vol. 1, Chapter 1TDF Pegasus - One Week Ago
The CIC was virtually silent. Only the ambient sounds from the various control consoles permeated the air. The two dozen or so people in the Combat Information Centre were all silent and motionless. All eyes were fixed on me, and I could feel the weight of their stares. Some wore shocked faces, others displayed contempt. A few were somewhat neutral.
I turned to face my XO again.
“Colonel Fox?” I prompted. She swallowed before opening her mouth to speak. Her voiced stuttered to begin with, but still carried that tone of authority you expect from a senior officer.
“Commander Kane. For refusing to carry out a direct order from a superior officer, Admiral Hayes has ordered you to stand down. I hereby relieve you of command with immediate effect.” She took a step towards me before continuing.
“I’ll need your rank insignia,” she said, stretching out her hand. I reluctantly removed the symbols of my rank and handed them over




So I finally managed to finish the third chapter and get it out there.

Well, It was either that or the Gym while LOTRO was down for maintenance...

Anyway, enjoy and provide feedback. The remaining 7 chapters of Volume I should be a lot easier to write as things ACTUALLY happen in them. As opposed to endless exposition. Always nice.
