goodnight Sweet Kaiser
Posted by Anjo Banjo on 08/28 at 11:24 AM | Skype: 
6 years ago, I adopted a cat and namned him Kaiser (kaiser is the latin word for ceasar).
I left with him my mom 2 years ago to live with her while I went to America.
I missed him alot and was hoping to see him again soon.
Today I found out that Kaiser was put down because of an inoperable tumour in his jaw.
My mom buried his body on his favorite spot in the backyard with his favorite toy.
I am sad, because I didn’t see him, and I wasn’t there when he was put down.
I am sorry that I wasn’t there to hold him and pet him while he drifted to sleep.
Kaiser had a good life, and was a good cat. He was gentle and well behaved.
He loved climbing up on rooftops, but took him hours to climb back down.
He always took care of others first then himself.
He brought joy to alot of people and brought so much joy into my life.
I will miss him terribly and remember every birthday to honor his memory and how much I loved him, I still do and I miss him terribly. Rest well Kaiser, you will be for ever in my heart. I love you so much and I miss you. All my tears today will be for you and the memory of you, all the good times Kaiser. I love you.
sleep well.
Your mom, Anna
I made it through PAX and back!

You know, I’ve done some traveling in my life but I’ve never got this homesick.
Me and Liquilife drove down to PAX, the penny arcade video game expo being held in seattle.
We drove through the mountains and I didn’t even know that it was possible for your ears to pop while driving.
They did no the less and I went stone deaf! Good thing cause Liquilife was rambling about something less interesting.
Ai Caramba! My DS came the other day!

About 2 weeks ago, my husband brought home a Nintendo DS. I thought to myself that I won’t touch that thing!
To my surprise I got hooked on faster than a mouse to a USB port!
I am coming home Britania

Have you ever played a game in which you enjoyed so tremendously, that you knew that one day you would return? Well I am coming home to you Britania, far to long have I been away from your glorious fiends (and without a doubt, some jerk has been in my house and fully robbed ever inch of it). Here is a little article I wrote about Ultima Online and my thoughts about it.
Enjoy

Tales of Pirates - The Anjo Adventure
Posted by Anjo Banjo on 04/07 at 11:34 AM | Skype:
As I was surfing the gigantic place called the internet, I came across a banner. The banner captures my attention since it said the 3 words I love! MMORPG, FREE and PIRATES!
While I was registrating I was still looking for that litte button that requires your creditcard number, but rest assure, nothing as such was found anywhere.
What is Tales of Pirates you say?
A few years a go an onlne MMORPG came out called Ragnarok online. Though it’s beta generated a huge audience, it has slowly died by every passing month. Most people claimed they left because it got boring, well here is my theory!
IT GOT TO EXPENSIVE!
What does this have to do with tales of pirates you say? Well the design of the game is very similar, it has the classic snes RPG graphics that reminds you of Secret of Mana. In other words. Cute pixel anime graphics. Registration online for Tales of pirates is like every online MMORPG registration a pain, but trust me, it is worth it!
The games name is a big givaway. You are a pirate and you are suposed to do pirate things, such as getting a ship, travel the seas looking for treasure! This is not a game for the weakhearted, there are a bunch of cute looking monsters that you will have to conquer to level up.
What you do first is go through a profile and character creating sequence. It’s easy to navigate and doesn’t take much time. Ofcourse choises are limited (the game is free after all) but you can still creater the pirate version that lurks within you! Here is a little screenshot of my character being born into the world of Pirates!
Here you can change face, hairstyle, gender and such to costumize the pirate within you!
You choose what part of the world you wish to start! I Picked the one that looked less evil.
Log in with your newbie character and get into the spirit of Piracy!
Time to play the game! They throw you in a city with a whole bunch of people walking around you! Usually I am a very social person but they start your character in their underooz. So here I am, walking around in my undiez looking like an obvious noob. It took me a while to realize that I had clothing in my inventory screen. So yea, now I have clothing, good huh? I still have a title that tells everyone that I am a noob, people around me tell me to join the newbie guild. At first I thought it was a mochery, someone was making fun of the biggest pirate there is and always will be. Again I quickly realize that there is such a thing called Newbie guild! In shame I drag my feet to the newbie guild and get my first assignment (talking to the blacksmith and other “need to know” townfolks).
DUDE! Where are my clothes?
So after spending a few hours in the safety of the city, I decide to take a peak outside the citygates! What wonders will await me? What’s in stored for the likes of me? Anjo ZE Pirate! HEre is where Ragnarok comparesment comes into play, the monsters weren’t hidious or scary at all, they were very adorable. It was a shame that so many plants have fallen dead by my hands! The humanity!!
Shorly after I started my distruction I met a fellow pirate who was kind enought to help me level up. He was also very informative about what I am suposed to do. How to get weapon upgrades and what quest are available to me! The more I played the more I fell inlove with the community aspect of the game. People in game are a very helpful bunch! After all, we are all brothers and sisters in the name of Piracy. Like any RPG, leveling up in the beggining is easy enought, the higher your level gets, the longer it takes for you to reach your next level.
Wasn’t I recently LvL 1?
Another wonderful aspect of your game is that you have a littlte treasure chest in your inventory, as you level up you get more awesome gear to wear. So you don’t have to pay for weapons if you don’t want to!
What Level is the duckman? -10? I want a funky duckoutfit too!!
The game can tend to get a bit laggy depending on how many players are logged into the server. It does not disturb the gameplay itself. It can be a bit annoying at times but it does not happen that often. There is a small learning curve on how to controll your character. The game has the auto run function so your character can sometimes spin out of controll and run around as if he/she is being chased by a horde of toothless turtles! Again, once you learn to controll the character it will only help you in your gaming experience! I’ve put alot of hours in the game, I am yet to have my own pirateship and plunder! As with every RPG patience is a virtue, things do take time but once you really get “into it”. You will realize how much fun you can have joining other players in finding treasure! I usually only have to play 15 minutes before I get an offer to join a party and then im off!! Twards new adventures and heroism! The winds of adventuring was calling us twards the northwest, as we reached the ocean we saw two ships in battle! I just stood there and stared blankly into the sea. It’s a wonderful aspect that you can have a ship and battle other pirates. I haven’t reached a high enought level yet to finish the really big quests. My latest quest took me to a swamp. The landscape diversity is well planned and big. You can run any direction for a few minutes and you will end up surrounded by a new scenery. I haven’t had the oppertunity to visit other citys yet, and that too is a driving force for me.
Another great aspect is the possibility of zooming in, zooming out and changing of the angle (for the picky gamer). You can customize your own angle and change it when needed.
I see your Shwartz is as bigger then mine!
It’s easy to find people to play with when a whole marketplace is filled with fellow players. Wonderful community!
What are you waiting for? THE SEA IS CALLING! Sail up and twards the sunset!
Digital Combat puts down heavy golden shower!

DC needs Pimpege
My good friends at DC combat are a hardworking bunch to keep up a ladder gaming site aimed for competing gaming enthusiast.
here soon they will have a Springtime blow out filled with competitions and fabulous prizes for the avid gamer.
DC Crash, The admin leader of the site was kind enough to fill me up on the details oh when where what and huh?
I’ve been a lurking forum visitor over at Digital combat for over 4 months now, and the professionalism of the staff is astounding. DC is not only a gaming community, its a place to visit and join if you wish to sink your teeth into heavy gaming testosterone and feast on the juice of competition. DC, as a professional ladder site is the best one I’ve seen out on the Internet. I do not join in the gaming fun cause I don’t like what competition turns me into.
Without any further delay, here is my interview with the admin ruler DC CRASH
DC CRASH INTERVIEW BANJO STYLE
Anjo Banjo: So crash, tell me a little bit about your work at Digital combat?
DC CRASH: Well, I am, err how do I put this.....
Anjo Banjo : Between you butt cheeks now spit it out.
DC CRASH : I am the newly appointed lead administrator. I am in charge of the overall competitions played on Dc for GRAW, Rainbow six and GEARS of WAR. I am also the creation and one of the co-host of the newly created digital combat podcast.
Anjo Banjo : Sounds important, what do you do to require such a heavy responsibility on such a vast growing ladder site?
DC CRASH : WOW! Alright!I’ve been hardcore gamer for the past 3-4 years now, but a gamer non the less all my life, when I got xbox life I wanted to strive towards something more interactive, Ive been in various teams but never felt really at home till I found DC. I gave up competitive gaming just recently, and I am completely devoted to give gamers what they want. To have fun and complete without being putt down or harassed and BS around if they so wish. Come play have some fun and be competitive, but most of all have fun.
Anjo Banjo : No but seriously, why are you doing this?
DC CRASH : I thought you just explained it…
Anjo Banjo : Sorry, I was just being a journalist and getting some dirt of you. I see that you are a worthy adversary.
DC CRASH : I love gaming, and gaming is supposed to be fun. Separate yourself from reality and leave stress in your back pocket.
Anjo Banjo : So tell me about this spring time blow out, does it contain spring break with the girls gone wild?
DC CRASH : No, unfortunately no ha ha, but there are prizes. T shirts/Microsoft points/gift certificates to EB/possible secret sponsorship with more prices to come. I guarantee it will be the best competition out there with a great community.
Anjo Banjo : Personally, I such at shooters, If I ask nicely, can I have a price?
DC CRASH : We will give you a t shirt!
Anjo Banjo : Sweet!!! Now I don’t have to go cloth shopping for a year! But seriously , a nice gesture non the less, you got my presidential vote. CRASH for president!
Anjo Banjo: So Crash, this has been fun, any last words you’d like to say to my 3 readers?
DC CRASH : Come to DC combat! If there are 3, then this was worth it. Come have fun, play some games, that is what its all about. We will welcome you with open arms!
