Moving

Today I announce that Gaming, Graphics, and Geekdom has a new home. That home is BRUGGLIFE.COM Most information on this blog will be transferred over soon. This new website will syndicate all blogs that I write in a way that I feel everyone will enjoy. I hope to see you there soon.

Draigoch Housing Item

Tonight we got a great surprise after defeating Draigoch. We got the outside housing statue! Here is a picture.

Draigoch Video

Since this raid takes about 45 minutes on a good day. I assume that you do not wish to watch 45 minutes of video. So here is the defeat of Draigoch. This video is of the Kinship I am a member in called Shadowed Nobility.

School, Work, and Lotro

Howdy peeps!

Small update for you. FINALS ARE DONE. Yes that is correct, I have finished my finals for the Winter 2011/12 semester. Still awaiting grades, but I am pretty sure I did pretty decent. Still waiting for my VA Workstudy paperwork to get finished so I can start, but word on the street is that there will be 6 spots open within the next 6-7 months and you can bet your bottom dollar I am going to be a contender. So hopefully full time employment will be achieved soon. And now on to Lotro. Not much new other than the fact that the Kinship I am in (Shadowed Nobility) is still running Draigoch Raids and working into the Tower of Orthanc raids. Also, my Hobbit Guardian is almost level 75! Woot.  Here is a screenie of some cosmetic pieces I am sporting around.

Hello everyone!
Sorry for not updating in awhile. Finals are coming up next week and this old man has had to hit the books in preparation. But, here is some gaming news.

Xbox time has been pretty non-existent. I have been really hitting Lord of The Rings online hard lately trying to get my Guardian Tank up to level cap before the expansion. 8 more levels to go and it will be time to start farming gear.

Life in the world of Elendilmir is pretty good. The kinship has beaten end game content such as Draigoch, and has started to learn the Tower of Orthanc wings. Screencaps of that to follow shortly.

But that is all for now. I leave you with lame ass pictures of my Lord of The Rings Online anniversary festival mount.

Draigoch, Eagles, and Randomness

Hey there my loyal and trustworthy followers! I know it's been awhile since I have posted on this thing, but here are some wonderful screencaps from Lord of The Rings Online. Most of these are taken in the new content "The Great River" update. Enjoy!

Chillin in Orthanc

Been awhile...

So it's been a little while since I put up anything so I figured I would go with an update. First off, I have stopped playing Star Wars: The Old Republic and went back to Lord of The Rings Online. Why did I do this you ask? Well there are many reasons. One of them is money. While I'm still looking for a job it makes no sense to pay for a game that I am not really enjoying. The second reason is community. While I played the game with friends of mine, the community aspect of MMO gaming was just not there like in Lotro.

 So...I went back to Lotro and beasted out my Rune-Keeper with some good gear. I have completed some of the end game content by joining multiple pug Draigoch raids and getting the two gear pieces. I still have to complete the Tower of Orthanc raid, but once I do that I will have completed the end game content on my Rune-Keeper. I am current running an alt. This character is a Hobbit Guardian who is pretty bad ass. Since I skirmish leveled this guy to level 46 in efforts to skip all the boring content, I am not redoing all the content I skipped to catch up on my traits. But hopefully that will be done soon and I'll find myself in Moria soon.

 In other news, Im still rocking the Xbox by playing Red Dead Redemption and Modern Warfare III. Still going to school and rocking my classes. I just recently was sent letters inviting me to join The National Society OF Collegiate Scholars due to my grade point average. So that's pretty kool. And while doing all this, I'm still looking for a job. So that's about it for now. I promise to update this more...even though I don't think anyone reads this! LOL

Draigoch Raid

So last night I jumped on Lord of The Rings Online. It was pretty quiet Kinship wise and I happened to get into the 12 man Draigoch Raid. We only wiped once, but it was a great raid and ran very smooth for being a complete pug. The video is 48 minutes, but well worth it if you want to see how this raid operates as it takes a great deal of coordination. So enjoy.

My idea for the guild podcast

Here are some early screencaps of my Sith Inquisitor! I am currently wrecking havoc on Tatooine.

Jedi Graphics

So messing around trying to come up with some new idea's for a friends costuming group I came up with these.

Galacticon Poster

Back when I resided in Virginia and was a member of the Tidewater Allaince Star Wars Fanforce, the group hosted an annual Sci-Fi convention called Galacticon. On its second year, I put together a poster that could be placed in different places to gather interest for the convention. This image is not the original, it is the updated one for 2010. Only difference is the date. everything else is the same.

House of Night Kinship

Back when I first started playing the MMO Lord of The Rings Online, I had an idea to start a Kinship, otherwise referred to in most games as a guild. I named this Kinship "House of Night" after a favorite vampire book series I was reading at the time. But anyways, here is the banner I created for the Kinship Website. Enjoy.

Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron II

My last duty station while in the military was MSRONII or Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron II. This squadron was seperated into three detachments. I was lucky enough to placed in the detachment 23, otherwise known as the Rabid Dogfish. Talk started going around about making a detachment logo, so I again turned on the think tank and came up with this. Enjoy.

Rebel Legion Logo

When the Rebel Legion was looking to create a logo for a Jedi Detachment, the name Serenity Temple was established. After this process, members started talking about ideas for a logo for this detachment. Now while I am not a Rebel Legion member, I have helped come up with logo's in the past and offered my services. This is what I came up with. The end result was a tad bit different, but generally the same. Enjoy.

Concord Dawn

Concord Dawn was my personal website until I got tired of paying for it. Once I found out that I could post my creations on a blog, all bets were off! But here are some of the webpage images I had created. The first is the classic Boba Fett symbol, and the second is my 4 year old made to look creepy. Enjoy.
