Kinda cool, but really easy to die right off. I may have to make a fighter so that I can start with more HP.
Today was pretty nice. I had an assignment due in Encrypted Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08614211261844497744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908865.post-896649542003-02-24T13:07:00.000-08:002003-02-24T13:07:53.250-08:00Well, I have returned. It seems the template works. Anyways, on sunday, I wake up at about 10. Josh and Scott are supposed to come by and pick me up for some food, then D&D, Magic the Gathering, and XBox action. They are supposed to come by at about 11:45 to come get me. Well, 12:15 rolls around and no one is here. Damn, I thought, maybe something happened. I try to get online to talk to Encrypted Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08614211261844497744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908865.post-896565382003-02-24T10:29:00.000-08:002003-02-24T13:02:01.000-08:00 Well, after about 4 months of this thing just sitting here, its time to start posting. At the time of this writing, I just set up a templete done by Chris (BlackMod) and I havent tested it yet, so I will see how it works after I post this. Well, to recap the last few days, Saturday before going to work I decided I wanted to swap out the hard drive in my laptop to a blank one. Well, the Encrypted Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08614211261844497744noreply@blogger.com0
