The Move is On

Well (I found my password)

This is the first time I reviewed a “Social” Game. (Like the bunny rabbit needs help planting his carrot patch or something like that, games on facebook etc.)

Hey hey hey! Game Of Thrones Ascent is not a 3D world you can run around in, explore, go eyebulb to eyebulb with a fairly realistic cartoon character and try to slice his (or her) head off with a sword that looks way too big for any mortal to wield-

But it is engaging. The graphics are knock down gorgeous (You don’t see naked people running around stabbing each other with swords or ‘swords’. You solve puzzles and face battles through pop up/drop down windows, make choices, face consequences, worry about your wounded loyal knights and agents and watch a fascinating story parc aquatique gonflable unfold on your computer screen, right there in front of your burning bloodshot eyes.

I think the number of registered users just went above 1,000,000 last night.

You can play it on facebook or Kongregate or go right to the developers website. (http://www.disruptorbeam.com) .

I did have a problem getting the ‘Friends’ needed for many of the quests while playing on the Disruptor Beam site but ‘clever’ Rachel Otterson went in and read forums and found a User-submitted ‘tutorial’ and then figured out how to actually make friends while playing on the developers’ site.

(( I needed google chrome to find a user ID as part of this, I followed her instructions and my poor friendless Hedge Knight turned ‘Noble’ was no longer friendless.))  🙂

I should have her write a ‘how to’ article about this process and then figure out where to put it.

Maybe I should put a page up here or somewhere with clever solutions to all the confusion I felt while playing this beautiful game.

Let’s see if I have enough left over energy to do that in the next couple days.

& hey— It works on a Mac.

10:00 pm, Friday, 20 April, 2012.

As part of TVCOGECO’s Volunteer Appreciation Week, I invited Arnprior’s volunteer camera people out to dinner. With only structure gonflable a couple weeks to plan and make reservations and all that, I had two volunteers who were able to attend.

October 20, 2011 🙂 Mom’s Birfday!

Jim at his computer, working on his game-

This is Cathi, stretching to adjust a TVCOGECO video camera as we set up for a telethon last May

Erin, looking good before we started inflatable water park setting up for the telethon.

Part 2:

Jassper, frantically digging at the beach…. Yes we do have beaches in Canada, no we don’t have to build ourselves new igloos every winter and live in tents in the warm months…. 😉

Moe in a box. Cats love boxes. I don’t think us mere humans will ever know why.

Erin at her camera on the day of the aufblasbarer hindernisparcours telethon, with our friend ‘Rusty’ goofing around behind her. (Erin is in her Second year at the University of Western Ontario Nursing B.S. program. She put in a year at the U of Ottawa and most of what she learned was applicable…)

Part 3:

This is a shot of Cathi at her camera during the ‘Dare to Care Telethon’ last May. This telethon runs on the cable station that Jim is in aufblasbares zelt charge of here in Arnprior. Proceeds paid for a van to transport seniors and special needs people and continue to fund the local ‘Seniors at Home’ programmes.

Jim at the editing console of the TVCOGECO Mobile unit that came down to Arnprior for the Telethon. (Cathi snuck up behind him and shot this photo.)

Let’s see how this goes:

Professor Darwin Boles (He said he didn’t choose the name.) Facilitating a Seminar. or

What I did on my Spring non-Vacation.

This was on the side of the road (Hwy 7) on the way to and from the Seminar.

But I have to admit, the lizard was what really captured my interest. It was raining when I took the video that we captured these images from. (the indoor image was on an overcast day, but that didn’t matter, since we were indoors.)

Here’s the photo of me that Doug took.

So I have the photos I took of you (Jim) but I can’t figure out how to upload them into the blog here. It looks like the only way to get an image bouncy castle for sale  into this thing is to grab it from a web site (it wants the URL and doesn’t have the “browse” option I got used to.) So I’ll have to email the danged things to you and have you insert them later, how’s that sound?

Thanks for walking me through the sign in process here. (Good thing I’m visiting because I don’t think I could have figured this out long distance. (& Next time, let me use a computer with a keyboard that doesn’t stick, huh? This is painful.) )

So Your Elections are just as crazy as ours, hey? (Different flavored craziness but still nuts.) And you guys spell it “flavoured” I get it. Maybe.

& I can rag on your candidates without losing my job. Can’t I? That sounds tempting.

First impression? I don’t trust your polls. Something inflatable water slide just doesn’t sound right (I listen to Canadian broadcasts over the internet.) I get the very strong impression that somebody is trying to control opinion poll results so tightly that he, she, or it probably controls the questions, who gets asked, and then maybe even changes the answers to get the result he, she, or it wanted in the first place.

Here, in the U.S., things are nuts. Are you guys really trying to catch up to us?

….. and another thing, gad, this really looks a hundred percent better on a Mac. Doesn’t it?
