Neverwinter PS4

I'm trying Neverwinter on the PS4 out, since it is free to play.  My first impressions are that it is not quite as pretty or as complex as The Elder Scrolls Online, but more player friendly.  Here is my first character, a Paladin.:


I'm actually Lvl 12 now. And yes, I'm a green-eyed redhead.  Why do you ask?


 Here's a pretty shot of a glowing tree



And you'll never guess who is standing near the Glowing Tree....MINSC!  I've never even played the Bioware Baldur's Gate games and even I know who he is.  I had a fangirl moment and looked for Boo, his hamster, but it looks like he doesn't have it.  What kind of travesty is that?



Go for the eyes Boo!

Foolish Frosts Avatar, The CC version.

You all know about Foolish Frost's "Avatar" song?  The Nickelback parody he did for Rezzable?



I sometimes do this thing where I make up "SL lyrics" for songs. and if there was a "CC Version" of Avatar, it would have lyrics something like this:

 Avatar the CC Version, with apologies to Foolish Frost and Nickelback.


I'm through with living real life Cause nobody cares,
And workin my job That's going nowhere
Ya know Real life ain't Quite the way I want it to be

And a redheaded harem I can go shopping with
And infinite linden cash for Anything I'm gonna need

And enough pretty shoes To keep my groove
Gettin every outfit That's ever been made you see.

And to learn how to build With blender and mesh
So that everybody's gonna Have to come to me

So how you gonna do it?

'Cause we all just Wanna be cool avatars
With the virtual land Driving steampunk cars
And the girls come easy And they put out fast
Course they're all soccer moms But hey who gonna ask?

And we'll all hang out At the Chamber Room

Every fashion blogger honey, With her swedish blonde hair

And... Hey, hey, I wanna be an avatar

'Cause we all just Wanna be cool avatars
With the virtual land Driving steampunk cars

Every newbie wannabe Gonna be there
Every fashion blogger honey With her swedish blonde hair

And we'll all build a place We can take pictures at

All the girls asking me, with little guile
About my fashion savvy coz they all know I'm the mistress of style

Hey, hey, I wanna be an avatar
Hey, hey, I wanna be an avatar...



Also "Rose Tint my world" from Rocky Horror with apologies to Richard O'Brian:

It was great when it all began, I was a regular Linden fan
but it was over when LL had a plan to hire that M Linden Man.
Now the only thing that gives me hope, is the shopping addiction dope, 
Windlight tint my world keep me safe from the drama and bling.

I'm around 10 years old, truly beautiful to behold
and somebody should be told that my arc hasn't been controlled. 
Now the only thing I've come to trust, is that shopping addiction and rush, Windlight tint my world keep me safe from the drama and bling.

It's Be-yond me help me Torley
I'll be good you'll see keep the gacha away. 
Whats this I see, one pull won't hurt me. 
Woooaaah! What's come over me, Here I pull again!

I feel released, my L$ has decreased. 
My inventory has increased, Mesh Quality is here.
SL will never be disbanded, my friends list has expanded. 
It's great that Ebbe has landed....his statements are so sincere.

Inspired by Marty Robbins "Big Iron" and the zombies that were in Babbage a couple of years ago, and maybe a bit by my thing for gatlings and Coco of Team CFVY in the web animation series RWBY

To the town of New Babbage came a stranger one fine day
 Hardly spoke to folks around her didn't have too much to say
 No one dared to ask her business no one dared to make a slip
 for the stranger there among them had a gatling on her hip
 Gatling on her hip

It was early in the morning when she flew into the town
 She came flying from the south side slowly lookin' all around
 She's a redhead loose and running came the whisper from each lip
 And she's here to do some business with the gatling on her hip
 Gatling on her hip

In this town there were zombies of the kind that are undead
 Many men had tried to destroy them and that many men were dead
 They were vicious and killers and numbered twenty four
 And the brains they had eaten numbered one an nineteen more
 One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
 Was a Fashionista redhead wouldn't be too long in town
 She came here to help the people who were living against undead
 And she said it didn't matter she was after the undead
 After the undead

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to the undead
 But the undead didn't worry men that tried before were dead
 Twenty men had tried to take them twenty men had made a slip
 Twenty one would be the redhead with the Gatling on her hip
 Gatling on her hip

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
 It was twenty past eleven when they shambled out in the street
 Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath
 They knew this lovely redhead was about to meet her death
 About to meet her death

There was twelve meters between them when they ran to eat and slay
 And the swiftness of the redhead is still talked about today
 The undead had not cleared a meter fore many bullets fairly ripped
 And the redhead's aim was deadly with the gatling on her hip
 Gatling on her hip

It was over in a moment and the engineers had gathered round
 There before them lay the bodies of the undead on the ground
 Oh they might have stayed un-living but they made one fatal slip
 When they tried to match the redhead with the gatling on her hip
 Gatling on her hip



Coco from RWBY being a badass fashionista:



"You've just destroyed my favorite clothing store....Prepare to die!"

BEST FASHIONISTA LINE EVER

My 10th Rezday Party, July 19th 2016

Unless something unusual pops up, I'll be hosting my 10th Rezday party tomorrow with two timeslots: 12PM to 2PM (Euro-friendly) and 7PM-9PM (US Prime time)  Location is Edison Hall at St John 224/56/23




By the way, I WAS threatened with Sticks and The Squid for playing Rick Astley in 2014.

While I sometimes say I wouldn't be in SL without the Shopping Addiction, that's not the ONLY thing.  If it was "just" shopping I wouldn't have stayed in SL either....it's the people.  All the friends and acquaintances I've met, you're one of the reasons SL is special.  And again, you're all welcome to come to the party!
