Klub Terminal Presents

A REALLY CRAZY FUCKING NIGHT


Psyclon Nine and Dawn of Ashes finally performing together. They were at one point somewhat rivals. And now... you'd find the two front boys cuddling on stage and smooching. But I'll get to that later. 

I decided to go after all because it sounded like it was gonna be a good time, despite weirdness from the past. I also was able to talk to Jesus, the promoter, and it looks like I'll be molly ringwalding in costume in December. Mission accomplished. 
One thing that was different was that I didn't want to make Rot feel like he had to be around me, because he felt that he had to be around me lol... so I opted to find another way to get there. I asked Kristof and Berhermurr if I was able to ride with them. They were going separately, and Kristof was going waaaay early. I worked that morning until almost noon. So I just ended up riding with Berhermurr and all the gear. 
I took a nap and woke up as Rot was getting ready and packing all the gear to leave with Josh. He took longer so I had to haul ass to pretty myself. Rot left, and like 5 minutes later Berhermurr got there. I wasn't ready yet! So he waited in the living room playing with the synths. Belt or no belt? Berhermurr said go with the belt. So I went with the belt. Grabbed all my shit and we left, but he said there was no rush to get there because they went on later anyway. I offered my thanks by getting him coffee, and I had also told Kristoff I'd bring him some too so we went to my work! 

I PROBABLY LOOKED LIKE A MASSIVE TOOL but it was fine. It's my work. And the only people who knew who I was were my co-workers. I was wearing 8 inch platform heel boot things and amazingly enough Berhermurr still managed to dwarf me. We got our dranks and split. Huntington Park is far. On our way there I got a text from Rot saying one of the tires exploded. I almost lost my shit, but he said he was able to fix it. There was a spare, but it was flat so he had to walk to a gas station to fill it, walk back and replace it. Poor guy. He was already under so much stress and in a rush to get there :( but I was glad that he was okay. I'm glad the car didn't swerve off and like... massive booms and ugh. Yeah. ANYWAY

SO HOLLEHWUD

DAT MANE

We got there and the roadies were waiting. They were quick! I went upstairs with Kristof's drink. The venue was way larger than I had thought. Like ballroom. There were already people there just hanging out. Kristof introduced me to one of his friends, Mike, who also plays GW2. We started talking about the most out of place shit ever. I almost went off on a tangent. Good talk though. 

The sound checks of course ran longer than anticipated. That's never new, but it was stressful for Rot. :(
Marshall saw me and said "Cynthia? that you?" 
I thought he was just ignoring me. We got past our "you hate me" chatter and cleared some of the slate. Rot says he wants him to apologize, but it's been years. It's never gonna happen, and I told Rot that I honestly don't care anymore. Whatever. It was good to be able to talk to him again though. Once upon a time, before all the bad shit went haywire, we were all really really cool. but... one step at a time. I also met Carissa, his gf.
Mordacious was also there! He was performing with his side project "I love club sluts" lol.
Super sweet guy, ironically. Hahah

At one point, I remembered that I had left Kyrie's gift in Berhermurr's jeep car thing. It was fun trying to run around to get someone to go with me to get it. He was busy and kept disappearing, but eventually Mike went with me to go get it.

We got back with the sound checks going on forever. Lots of catching up though. I got to meet Meritt, the new addition to P9. Nice guy!
We all fucked around a bit backstage while the others performed.

The braiding is never too far from a Cynth with booze. 

Beware.

Mordacious!

He has the cutest freckles. They're all over his face it's adorable lol.

 And then suddenly...
Marshall comes to me and says there's no one merching for them. His gf's friend was supposed to do merch but "has a stick up her ass." He asked me to tend merch, so I agreed to do it at least until Dismantled's set was done. They only had two albums. Crwn thy Frnicatr and We the Fallen. 
This was unexpected but I agreed to do it because I felt bad at how messy things got. But my friend Kyrie was coming and she's kind of important to me. He ended up selling the guitar he wrote two songs from We the Fallen on which made the fan super happy. It was touching. He wrote Happy Birthday on it :3
I stayed there for about 45 mins before he walked by where I told him I couldn't tend all night.
Thankfully, Josh came in and took over shortly after.
Kyrie arrived and said they couldn't find her name on the list. Rot and I went down and got her. I engulfed her in my arm and swooped her upstairs. We talked about silly things and awesome things.
She loved her giftsies. :3 I made her two little charms, and got her a cute shirt with a bat skelly on it. The body guards made for a lame wrapping of it, but she seemed to like it muy much!
I'm so glad she was able to make it.

 She's so cute :B

 

She also fell victim to the braid.

She couldn't stay long because she worked super early the next morning, but it was so so so so good seeing her and talking to her about stuff. It blows she lives so damn far away.
Ponies arrived to pick her up where she gave me a pretty box wrapped in purple. We said our bye byes and I skipped over to go back inside, but the body guard stopped me!

I had to open my box (heh) right in front of him and Ivan. Ivan works for the promoter. They're friends and stuffs. But that was fun... lol. I told him it was a present, and all jokes aside... it still needed to be opened at least partially. CANDLES!!! :D hahahaha
Fricking candles. and They smell all autumny and delicious and good and mmmpf!!! She also put in body butter and a little Sweet Basil grow kit. It's so cute I can't wait to start growing it. I'm just afraid I'll kill it. lol =\

Dismantled put on a good show. Super crazy energy, although I didn't get to see their whole performance. The crowd was really into it though.
Then Dawn of Ashes came on. They're nuts lol. Fun though :3
I stayed out of the main crowd for the sets just because I'm horrified of everything and kept to the side stage area.
I headed backstage to check up on Rot.
Tons of random people, but I did get to meet Chromegirl (Shannon). I've known of her for a long time, she's cool looking. She's a gogo dancer. Wish I could've gotten a pic with her by my phone had already died by then.
When I went back there again there was just some random chick no one knew walking around. That was questionable. At one point I saw Rot put his camera down under a seat and told me I could leave my bag there near his stuff. So I did that, but wanted to grab his camera for safe keeping. I didn't, because he told me he didn't want me using it that night. I should've trusted my gut and grabbed it. =\

Psyclon Nine was insane. Coke is one hell of a drug.
There were a ton of technical issues, but they kept going. The fans were loving it. Marshall poured all of himself into it and I'm not sure what was more concerning... how fucked up everything was or that because everything was fucked up so much, the fans were starting to just go on stage and ... do stuff.
Rot made a facebook status update about a bunch of random drunk people going on stage. He wasn't kidding. It irritated him lol. Then it got to the point where penises got involved.
Marshall started touching himself, as he always does. And then he kinda whipped his dick out, which is fine. He does that. But then he started coming in my direction. Remember that wet cat picture from my last post? Yeah. That was me again. My brain started going into hyper drive screaming no. no no no. no no what's he doing turn around go the other way WHY WHY WHY ARE YOU WAGGING STAHP IT
I turned bright red and guarded my face with my hand. The guy next to me was so amped that he .. did something to Marshall's dick. I don't know what. I turned away and had my hand in my face, but Josh said there was contact. O_o
There was this other drunk dude who kept hanging around us that Marshall invited up on stage. This guy was gone. He was obliterated. Marshall's mic kept dying out so I guess this was the alternative xD. The guy undid his belt and lowered his pants. Whipped his dick out and ... I don't know. I didn't see what was going on because his butt was facing us. That was fun. All I could do was laugh and watch Rotny trying to contain his anger. Carissa also was... participating. Random. very very random. And then Dismantled's synth player just came out from back stage and started walking around, then got in a cage and started dancing. Random.
Two fans climbed up from the sides and got in a cage and started just... moving in it.
Carissa kept walking out on stage. Eventually she got in a cage and started dancing and climbing it and stuff. Marshall was no where to be seen, I think he went into the audience and started moshing with them. He likes making me feel uncomfortable. He came over to me again and started doing something with his fingers in his mouth and air grinding. I'M GOOD, THANK YOU THOUGH

Ah, drunk people. :)

Eventually, Kristof came out and Marshall had Josh get him a mic to join in on a song. That was fun to see. They snuggled all manly like and looked like they were having so much fun. The fans were loving it. Then Kristof whipped his dick out too. But not before they kissed. Awww!
Then at 2AM the sound guy turned off the backing track and all the lights came on. The fans roared, and drunken screaming pressured them to turn it back on and let the show go on. It ended really late because of the prolonged soundchecks earlier. But man was it nuts. Good show. *nods*

but then after the show..

See that belt with the lime green thing on it? That's his. Someone stole it. They ripped that band off and took it. The wristband was just sitting on top of his clothes without its host after P9 finished. He's had that belt for like 8 years. I went back there to help him get this stuff so we can leave. We saw some guy and some chick just sitting there alone with all of the bands stuff... wtf.
His camera was gone. His belt was gone. Thankfully my bag was still there, but there wasn't much to take. My phone was dead, and there was no money in my clippy wallet thing. Suffice to say how infuriated he was.
What people don't realize about Rotny is that he is a business man. The band he plays in does outlandish things but he seeks professionalism and is a man that believes in taking diplomatic routes. He stays neutral and just wants to get the job done, get paid, and go home. When so much goes wrong... it just really, really, really, really sucks. It drains him so much because he just wants to go home. He doesn't care about partying. Anyone that knows him knows that. I felt SO horrible for him, he never does anything to deserve the shit that happens to him because of this scene, so it just really sucked. He had just bought that camera like 3 weeks before and was extremely excited about it. It was the same camera model he had during the Crwn tour back in 06, but that camera was ruined. And now look what happened =\

Either way... Psyclon did what they did and delivered as they always do in the most dramatic ways. Dawn of Ashes was amazing. Seeing the two perform together was incredible, and it will be a night the fans won't forget. Unfortunately... any future shows will probably be extra strict on who gains access to the backstage area. That's a bummer but honestly, as cool as it sounds... this is their work. They're trying to get ready and prepare for a show, I'm sure they don't want a bunch of random people getting in the way, adding stress to where there's already plenty of it. Food for thought.

Phew!
Rotny made me dinner, so now I must go finish that, and finish laundry!!
What a day. My fingers are tired XD

I have some video clips, but I'll probably post those later this week. :3

Persevere

  I'm sitting here eating nutcream pocky trying to figure out how I'm gonna do this without sounding like a butthurt tool.

I don't think I'll ever be able to let go unless they go free to play.
If you haven't already gathered, this is gonna be yet another ranty entry about World of Warcraft, even though I don't even play anymore and haven't since a few months after Cataclysm launched. My sad ass is still gonna go to Blizzcon... but ugh.

The other night my guildies were having a discussion regarding MMOs and how much they've changed from what they used to be back in the day regarding integrity... lol. It's pretty pathetic how much emphasis I put on these games in my life, but the reality is they've been a big part of me since my wee years. They're just not the same, and it hurts. :(

My friend Aaron, who I've mentioned before I'm sure, went off on a tangent. See, this is why I like him so much.

I did a review of the skills
And wanted to vomit.
Priest.
Stealth.
'nuff said on how retarded that xpac is.
WoW singlehandedly buttfucked community-ness of MMOs
By drawing in the shooter crowd and the "ease of grouping" thus turning every group to a "fuck it I'm never gonna see them again" mentality
Priest have a stealth skill now
Warlocks have instant cast normal fear.
Blood DK does the most DPS in the game.
BM hunters ROFL people without any second thought.
Rogues now carry 10 combo points on targets
because apparently managing 5 was too hard for nubs.
So they gave them more combo points for all those spammers.
It's depressing that it's such a lore rich game
That it's at the point they no longer care about anything other than the "easy-fix" and moneyInstead of a lore rich expansion
What do they release?
A regurgitated "theme"
I'm just tired of the lack of creativity and caring from the company lol

guildie: I mean after 8 years
guildie: what else can a game do
guildie: it's like how simpsons was the shit
guildie: but eventually had to past the torch to family guy

That's the thing though
They have like what
4 books?
and like 40% of it's content covered.
They completely left out an entire raid in Cata because they didn't feel like puttin in the work
So the entire abyssal maw thing, and all the bad guys and shit you were involved with there
"just magically poofed"
lol
All they care about is money.
My favorite quote from Blizzcon was
"So what about your new MMO?"
Blizz: "Yeah we don't have the money for that."
They've ruled the MMO world with an iron fist for EIGHT YEARS.
How. How do you "not have the money"
lol

guildie: so true

If Activision is bleeding them THAT dry

guildie: cuz those fat cats are too busy eating all they can every meal

Wtf was the point of selling out
I also like the wording on the launcher haha
"GET A FREE FACTION SPECIFIC MOUNT!"
".... When you bring a friend back to world of warcraft"
Idk
It was a good game while it lasted
I'm just tired of it.
It got to the point where I knew exactly what you were going to do at any %age of HP
Just based off the class you were.
:/
In WoW, not to sound like a doucher
But I probably knew what you were gonna do before you did.
Every class played the exact same.
On higher tier arena, everyone played the same.
X class will use Y skill at Z percentage hp.
Always.
First time grouping with friends or even people you never met
It's hard to give up
Which is why people keep going back to WoW
They're hoping
Each new patch will give them that feeling back
But they're just setting themselves up for disappointment
They cares about the people who played shooters
The people who played phone games.
console games
xD
Cause that's where zhe money is
The mmo players started leaving WoW
So they had to grab the attention of the other demographics
Wow would be dead if they didn't

me: one day I got drunk when I decided I wasn't getting MOP
me: and started watching concerts of video game music
me: and this one epic video had all the old WoW songs on it, and some songs from WC3
me: I started bawling my eyes out

Well you have to remember
The team who made WC3
Blizzard.. north? was it?
Was fired upon selling out to activision.


Are you bored yet? I know. This seems retarded. WHATEVA, IT'S MAH BLOG. AH WRITE WHAT AH WANT.
It just feels good having someone go off like that because it's all exactly how I feel. I feel bad for the ones that have been there since Vanilla and still hang on. They have no idea. Hopefully, Blizzcon will address some things that will give players like us piece of mind. I still love what they've made in the past, and sort of have some hope for the future, I just want closure. And I KNOW... I know someone is going to be asking those questions at the panels. I just know it. And the developers will have to answer to us all. What the fuck happened? What are you doing? DOES ACTIVISION'S DICK TASTE GOOD? And I wanna be there for all of it. Also there was an awesome rice and bean stand outside that was bomb.

It's unreal how much I'm looking forward to Blizzcon. I haven't decided if I wanna cosplay or not. My undead mage was so important to me... =\ but I don't know if I could do her justice. Not many undead cosplayers for a reason. It's hard! Probably expensive as shit, too. We'll see. I'm definitely gonna be in the dance contest again though.  :D That was unbelievably fun.

GAMEY THINGS ASIDE... 

I have stuff to work on regarding this last weekend. As some might have been aware there was a Psyclon Nine and Dawn of Ashes show on Saturday.
My work schedule had me wake up at 9pm today. I'm all sorts of fucked up in that regard. However I do have a lot to write about and show from Saturday.
Apologies ahead of time. My phone died halfway through the night, but I still was able to get some stuff.
 Including this.

My life has turned a weird angle, but I'm enjoying it. I only wish I had let loose a little earlier on. OH WELL. :D
Despite that... I'm still horrified by everything that moves.

This Friday it seems that the Little T gang are all off from work. I'm hoping something happens. I'm craving ramen and boba tea. I'm just not looking forward to the solo Metro ride.
Devon has started school again and unfortunately Friday is one of the days she has classes until like 3 or something. We've agreed to just meet there at the station.
The first time this was planned out, I misunderstood and flaked from mortification. The very notion of texting about going by myself to meet her there made me anxious and told her another time. =\
So then we tried again. I prepared myself mentally for it, and braved the drive to the metro station and the ride to ... whatever stop I had to get off at. My brain is so against it that I can't remember the name of the stop. haha
However, on my way to get to the metro I got lost. With a GPS. Even though I've driven there with Devon like 8 times before.
I finally got there with surprisingly no issues finding parking. Got my fare on my weird card thingy and as I was passing the little metal gate thingies, some (homeless?) ogre guy 8 feet away from me kept trying to get my attention by shouting a crude compliment. Naturally I'm ignoring him and screaming bloody murder inside hoping I drop dead. I lowered my head and stared at the floor because he just wouldn't shut up, so I finally said 'thank you' 
Again, my brain blocked the memory of what he kept shouting.
However I do remember that he felt 'thank you' wasn't enough and got louder, trying to get me to react.  I kept ignoring him and he said even more crude things to which I eventually responded with 'go die in a fire'
He then kept shouting something about me loving him looking at me and telling me whatever.
I'm pretty sure the look on my face when I got to the platform was similar to this:

 I locked my gaze on my phone and didn't look up for the next 45 minutes. There were no available seats so I had to stand in the middle area by the doors.

Are you reading this in my voice? Is it hilarious?
SHUT UP

Also, November is a thing. I'm gonna be going to visit the east coast for a few days. My video card can wait. All I've been doing when I'm not working is watching Gossip Girl and jumping on GW2 intermittently.
Time for foods and more editing! Not gonna lie... Season 5 is a little whack.
