In case you HAND'T noticed

New template!! I like this one a lot better...

Also, I added some stuff to DQIX.

Yes, that's it.

A New Log

So I've picked up the video game Dragon Quest IX : Sentinels of the Starry Skies... again. What is it, like my sixth file? My longest playing time was over 200 hours once, but I got bored so I deleted it.

I find it hard to play thing over and over again, cause you know exactly what's going to happen. However, I had created a solution for that.

Usually, this is my party set up: (using random names)
Lucy - ranger - bow
Erik - thief - claws
Terrace - martial artist - staff
Irma - priest - wand

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

So, here's how this one is going to go...
Lucy - martial artist - staff
Erik - warrior - sword
Terrace - mage - whip
Irma - priest - wand (Really, if you don't have a priest you are dead. For sure.)

It works like that because I'm working these characters after the characters in my book. The main character (Lucy) is a ninja-like warrior who fights with a staff. Erik is a beginning warrior, and becomes very talented with a sword. Terrace is a fire wizard, and fights purely with magic. Irma is technically also a ninja-like fighter, however I needed a priest.

This will be very different because

1. The main character has never been a martial artist before
2. I've never not had a thief
3. First time with a mage character

Since the novel has side characters, I will also create characters for them in DQ. For example, one will be a gladiator because she (yes, she) works with an ax-like weapon. Another character will be the thief  because he is a pirate in my book.

I'm actually looking forward to it quite a bit.

Just Something

:D

Pictures soon and yes, I've bene gone a while (if you haven't noticed)

SCHOOL.

Moving on...

Recently I've been having mouse troubles, where the cursor would teleport across the screen, randomly right click, and minimize my windows. Note: on MacBook Pro OS X 10.8. No external mouse, just a trackpad.

My first thought was that my computer was hacked and someone else was trying to control the mouse. Hey, I've seen how a mouse behaves when two people try to control it.

Anyway, it's all a-ok now. On some occasions it might freak out, but only for a moment.

Because MC is a mouse-based game (you know, walking around, which direction to face, placing an item, etc.), playing was REALLY REALLY difficult. I hope to be on soon, take some screen shots, and post them here with an update.

Like, really soon. Friday maybe....? Saturday is the latest.

Well, just thought I'd let you know. Computers hate me.

DIAMOND

That's right!!
And I can prove it.

The pickax

One (out of four) diamond left

So I've mostly been mining at the bottom of the world. I found some Lapis Lazuli. I have NO IDEA what to do with it though. Any solutions?

I also found this weird, underground pool.

O.o

I found a lot of iron down here too.
And several coal veins.
As you can see in the above picture, I have a lot of coal. And redstone. And cobblestone (but I suppose that's natural).

But I need more diamond! I only found four pieces, and already my pickax is almost half dead!
Not cool.

I might give a house tour some time. It's small, but I'm planning on renovating. I do have a lot of stone after all.

Good News Everyone!

I redownloaded minecraft onto my laptop, so I basically play anywhere, anytime (i.e. the bus).

The sad thing is that I lost my previous worlds.

More good news is that I've gotten over my fear of zombie's, and now I'm playing a survival world (lol, on peaceful mode). It going good so far, with an elaborate stone house and a mine nearby, it's all cool. It's in prairie land, so I have unlimited sheep (plural: sheepes, jk lol) and pigs.

It took me a while to find the mine, and when I did I wouldn't stop muttering under my breath "give me all your coal!" My friend thought I was slightly mad, but me and another guy got in a conversation about creepers.

I also did the same when I found iron.

Now I'm exploring, trying to find more iron and coal, and possibly diamond. The advise given to me was that I need to dig deep, and when I find redstone, I'll find diamond.

But you know, the last time I dug deep I ended up falling in lava. So I'm not too keen on the idea.

Re-downloading

This can be taken literally and metaphorically.

I've finally re-downloaded Eden Eternal (EE), I hopefully I'll be able to play that more. And P101 came out today so I downloaded that and played for fifteen minutes until the internet failed. Hopefully this means I'll be able to also re-download W101 test.

Names?
I'm now:

• Emma Dawnrider
• Silver Emma
• Illusynaria

Hello there!
Illusynaria's name may change since I had to create a new account on EE, so if forget and hear about some totally random name that makes no sense and you can barely pronounce it.... that's probably EE.

I'm metaphorically re-downloading, meaning I'm getting back into my video gaming routine now that we have the space on the PC. I'm also very happy about that.
:)
