To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub ~

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.

NAP TIME

It's true... Sleeper is down on Bristlebane. In what turned out to be quite an epic battle. Epic in this case meaning 18:24 of hard core dps and attention to detail.

Our prior series of attempts we pretty much would stall out at 68%. From the 1st to the 27th attempt. (There was a 54% in there one of those times.) Then came Tuesday night and our 28th run. Something just clicked and people were on the ball and we got Kerafyrm to an incredible 1% short of victory. Then as is tradition in Club Fu... we wiped.



#29 was aborted early, at what percent I don't remember, but it's not relevant as we knew we had this now, we just needed to shake the cobwebs out, hunker down and hit it like we meant it... and hit it we did. Hit it like a spider monkey humping a wombat in heat... or something. (You will have to ask Regilag for the details on that.)

Attempt #30 was epic. Far as I know only 4 or 5 people died the whole fight. 3-4 tanks and a ranger sacrifice. I wish I could say all the SKs died... but alas... they didn't.

Partial credit for victory must also go to The Imagination Song which has been played in Team Speak right before 2 major victories. While most people hate it, as it is quite a stupid song, it makes our Faerless Laeder get all fired up! Always a good thing.



With the expansion down now, I look back at all the events and have some to the conclusion like many others that the last event is not the hardest. Vyskudra or Air Two as some call it, I would have to say is much harder. The learning curve on Sleeper is high but there is margin for error along the way. The learning curve on Air Two on the other hand is very high and the margin for error is tiny. If your guild can't follow direction ever... ever... ever... you may as well give up at the event before this one.



Credit must also be given to Voight and Voodoman (Voodoman's given begrudgingly, he is a huge douchebag you see) as they were in attendance but EQ being what it is, shafted them out of their titles for the kill.

EVERYBODY POOPS... BLUE



This fight shown here, is just stupid. You get turned into a big piece of ice that the dragon looks like it crapped on the floor. Then you sit there. YAY EXCITING! Thaw, then you get free loot.

---------------------------------------------------------------


CRUNCHY OUTSIDE GOOEY CENTER



Same fight as before. But the visual as it rears up like this is a nice one. The screenshot was just one of those flukes. One person who is framed perfectly, looking like he is about to have his head chewed and swallowed whole and I didn't even notice it till I was looking for screenshots.

---------------------------------------------------------------


THINGS THAT FELL OUT OF MY HEAD



Big Ogre face all up in my grill.... oh, here comes Pouty!



Don't know how many of you have played World of Warcraft before, but this map totally reminds me of the map from that game. The references in the cartoon are of course locations from WoW.



This one along with the next one are both screenshots I took after having zoned in to the lobby after dying or gating. A lot of people congregate on that diamond where I am bound and being short I get a lot of odd views of the world and those around me when I land. Shocked



Same here. I gated and zoned into this. The name of a pet sitting there all alone gave me a chuckle.

---------------------------------------------------------------


THE RANDOMNESS PEOPLE SEND ME



Then there are these. The random screenshots that people send me are the ones I like the most. Just completely bizarre and I love it. THANKS! Send more!

At this point I don't even recall honestly what class this character is so the caption may be wrong /shrug.

CHATTY CATHY IRL ~ 38.7 Inches of chat

I actually was sent quite a few screenshots by a number of people this round. I also slogged through 200 or so screenshots of my own (I'd much rather be using contributed screenshots over mine) and used a bunch here. I wish more people would send me theirs. I can edit them for you, just email me the raw .bmp that Everquest outputs. They are about 4-6 meg each so send them one at a time if you don't edit them yourself or they have a tendency to bounce.

The result of only a 2-3 people contributing is you end up seeing a running theme... like you might notice here.

Nevertheless... here you go!

CLICK THE NEWSPAPER TO START A MOVIE THAT CORBOY CALLS ~a video of love and sexual expression, that we can all learn from!~


Hello friends. It's been awhile. I've been busy and life has been hectic, but never fear... I'm still here and Club Fu is still laying waste ahead of the rest on Bristlebane.

All events in Crystallos have been downed and all that stands between us and beating the expansion is Kerafyrm the Sleeper. It was Club Fu that woke the original sleeper on Bristlebane so I think it only fitting that we be the ones to put him back to bed after all these years.


For lack of a better screenshot I was forced to use this original Sleeper image. I was not online for the first peek at the mob so I was not able to get any for myself sadly... I'll be sure I do that next time we run into it.

---------------------------------------------------------------


Clumming It ~



With new events comes new and interesting ways to CLUM (If you are for some reason not familiar with this term... click the word for clarification.)


While this particular clum shot is not very impressive at first glance... you must keep in mind that this mob is freaking huge and it is in fact clummed very nicely.


This on the other hand, may very well be the greatest clum of all time. That mob is crammed way up there in the roof about as high and stuck as you can get it. GO FU! I wish I had been there for this epic moment, but alas I could not. So I must live vicariously through this screenshot... which I am now holding a hard copy of and touching myself... vicariously through!

Weird Is An Understatement

Some things are just weird... some things just make me laugh when I look at them and I don't know why. Pouty is always a repetitive source of humorous inspiration. Sometimes you just need those easy jabs... this is no exception.


There are times when he surprises me... or shocks me... or just outright sickens me... this was not one of them! But I did laugh.



The things this game throws at you can make you wonder wtf they were thinking at Sony. As you probably know already, "Doug" as he is called is the default graphic for anything that is missing or faulty. This is why you see this model in a zone where they have yet to install the animations for an NPC. (Remember snakes in old school zones looking like Doug?) So what would you expect when a non npc model is missing? Not Doug... that's for sure... but guess what we got!... yes that's right... Doug.



If I've said it once, I've said it 227 times... Loots all originate in Pouty's ass.



This was a late addition to this post. I was writing and editing when I heard a DING! from EQ which indicates that I have received a tell. I tab back and see a tell from Castiran. (Someone that has been missing from Everquest for a long time.) "Hey Flip, can you shrink me. I seem to be stuck." When I found him he looked so pathetic stuck ducked in the corner behind a loom... much like a wet cat stuck in a wine press.

Fan Faire 2008

Ya, I went to Fan Faire again this year... and it was even better than last year. Once again Triangles and his lovely wife Etuinka welcomed me into their home for a week and we had a hell of a time. Chrishaller was there with us but unlike last year where we had 12 people from Club Fu there this time it was only us four. AND I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT PLAYS STILL!


Seen here, Triangles and the 2nd place winner and Chrishaller. I suck at names so I don't remember this guys name but him and his wife both were in Best of the Best. Nice couple!


Triangles, Chrishaller and I joined in and played in The Best of the Best PVP tournament they had. This is where you take level 20 "Beta Buffed" characters (The Beta Buffed necro has a strike through aug in his epic... that is... pure... WIN!) and you hash it out 1 on 1 with ten people. This lasts for 10 rounds and then a winner is declared.

TRIANGLES WON! Playing a ranger of all things... I have to admit the win was a bit cheesy but PVP in EQ isn't all that hot.

DEMORALIZED!... in my second round 7 of the other people all made Shadow Knights... and I got prison raped in the first 15 seconds of the match... fuckers. Sadly you cannot use a shaman or I would have destroyed them all.


It was really hard to pick a best costume this time out. The woman here in the awesome necro costume, complete with Epic and pet and evil cat's eye contact lenses i think was the best personally. Sadly for whatever reason, she did not even place in the top 10. When I commented that she should have won the whole thing let alone placed... she says to me, "My tits were not big enough." Shocked I think her tits were plenty nice!



This one on the other hand was also awesome... very innovative. Her attention to detail as you can see in these screenshots was solid. When I asked her to pose for these and also FD she smiled and said sure and falls to the ground "Ayyyeeeee" thump. Then places her hands oh so carefully. She got pretty damn close.



CLICK THE PIC FOR A SHORT MOVIE

This guy here in the "Flippety" costume won. His costume was also awesome but he had no tits as all... so not sure why he won at all! Make sure you click that movie and see what he did for me. =) I promise it's not very dirty.



The dwarf here worked for a magazine that was being represented at Fan Faire so could not enter the costume contest, but still it's a pretty good one. But tell me. Why do all Dwarves speak with a Scottish accent?



The free swag they handed out was nice. A pen that had a button on it that flashed the Bat Sign on any surface rocked. It especially rocks on... *cough* tits.



She haunts me. In case you don't know the story, allow me to copy paste an excerpt from last years Fan Faire news post. "Kumulas and I were walking together into the vendor and gaming room and didn't get halfway across it before an older woman with a walker and a yellow hat walks up to me and says. "Are you Flippety?" I said yes I was and she puts both of her hands down on her walker, looks straight into my eyes and says. "I don't like you." It was all I could do not to say something incredibly snide right about then, but instead I asked her why she didn't like me. All this struck me as odd since her name tag didn't even say she played on Bristlebane. She again looked at me very serious and told me, "You don't buff noobies. You deleted all your low level spells and now you can't buff me" I'm thinking to myself wtf. Who the hell are you? But being who I am I had to be nice... I said to her, "Most of the time I am not raiding, I am afk or I am on my other computer working on something." She then informed me that if I was going to be logged in I should be at the computer and ready to buff her or anyone that should ask. It was at this point that I slowly backed away and went elsewhere.
Moral of that story is if a woman in a yellow hat comes up to you at Fan Faire... walk the other way.


Ya... she was back again but in some rainbow pastel instead of the yellow hat that haunts my dreams. At least this year she did not assault me.

Chatty Cathy You Are Not

This is what you get when people don't contribute much. I end up going back to the chats I have saved for just this occasion. Thanks to those that helped with these.




---------------------------------------------------------------


Well here we are yet again at the end of another graphic heavy post. It would have been more personal had I been around to experience all that went on with you. But sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. I always seem to have have something come up right when we are doing exciting things. /sigh

I love 76.9% of you 86% of the time on all days save Tuesday where all values should be modified by + or - 12.89% randomly.


Lastly I leave you with the obligatory bucket... I made this for Fan Faire. Zatozia loved it! Made from a wicker type basket and chocolate colored Styrofoam balls that looked like ice cream. I was very tempted to walk around begging for coppers but they would have fell out of the bucket. Sad

I am working on a post. Life is hectic atm and I can't seem to find the 6 hours that it requires sit down and do one up.

Hopefully by middle of this coming week at the latest.
I love doing these posts. But they do consume a great deal of time so be patient.

I leave you with one of the cartoons I made for the news post.



Boo ~
