Spring Break

So far, slightly awesome and slightly depressing. I thought that I would be able to take this week off of school and be able to sleep in, play a massive amount of video games and in doing this finally catch up in level on Warhammer Online. Instead my 6 hour drive home turns into a 10 hour one when my car dies, my phone starts to break, and life just always has to throw in a few obstacles before you get to do what you want. So when I had hoped to be lazy and gaming I am now car shopping, phone shopping, doing homework, applying for internships (thought I really hope I get one), running errands, and dreading the fact that I leave for school tomorrow.

Although I have been able to get some solid gaming in. I’ve gotten 2 more levels on Warhammer Online, but at lvl 33 I am still many, many hours away from 40. Played some more gun game, and on one of my regular servers went back up to rank #2 only to fall back down to rank #7 when I happened to have an awful time on nade level. Some pretty fun news is that I joined a new clan. :|EvO|: I’ve played with some of the guys from this clan pretty regularly now and am on their tournament team for L4D. We’ve signed up for TWL and will sign up for CAL when it gets moving again. Have to say that I’m pretty excited and think that we have a pretty solid team – especially after getting in some practice scrimmages this week. Still have to improve the aim of my crazy-death-from-above hunter pounces.

Posted after the fact--lol win for procrastination! I promise I'm gonna do better about writing my posts and then posting them quickly rather than week(s) later! I only have like 4 or so more to catch up posting on. xD ]

Hello there!

It is probably appropriate to take my first post to introduce myself and my gaming experience. I have a life passion for video games and playing them are some of my earliest memories. Memories include racing my Dad in FZero, competing against my Mom in Tetris, winning a Halo tournament in High School, going on raids with my brothers and guild in Warhammer Online, and my own adventures beta testing games like Lord of the Rings Online and Warhammer Online and playing games like Black & White, the Sims, and Spore. From the Atari to recent releases of the Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3 I have grown up and experienced the evolution of video games and I believe that this gives me a different and unique perspective. Especially being a female in a still male dominated gaming community.

I’ve gone by numerous handles differing by clan, name and game version. My main tags include |RAWR|, |DoD| and most recently :|EvO|:. Names include Kitty of Doom, Kiss of Death, and my latest Revy. PC games that I play most frequently include Counter-Strike: Source, Warhammer Online and Left 4 Dead. Less frequent ones include The Sims and Dota. Console games include Harvest Moon, Little Big Planet, Soul Caliber, Legend of Zelda, Mario, and others.

If you would like to play some CSS/L4D with me hit me up with a friend request at chibineko or message Pyra for Warhammer Online.

More personally, I am a 21 year old Ivy League college student. I’m a bit of a jock, nerd, gamer, artist/designer, and basically crazy conundrum of a person. Other than playing video games I love reading/writing, playing lacrosse/ice hockey, designing fashion, creating computer graphic designs, watching scary movies, photography, traveling, and going to estate/vintage sales.

Hope you enjoy reading my blog!
