Yes, yes it was a pain in ass to do that. To be fair, it's not just "my gaming PC" rather my office as well. I use the second headset on an A/B switch for my gaming PC and my work laptop. I like to consider myself a big deal at work (I kid I kid, but really though) so I'm on calls all day making sure we stay out of jail while stopping the baddies. The pro quality is top notch for me so I bought it again. The dual battery swapping is best in class 100%, +10 hours of battery instantly for a true wireless experience. The sound is amazing and yes it's expensive but you get what you pay for. I'm a "pay for the correct thing once" kind of guy these days (now that I have a wee bit-o-money).

That bitch attacked me, I went to pet it...

Name: Plains Farmhouse Location: FG Server, Southie, Plains Farm So after @RenFengge and I finished raiding our first plains base yesterday, we were left some new plants, flax and barley. So apparently you can only plant these items on plains tiles. Just over the ridge of our Southie FOB (meadows) is a nice sections of plains. So the goal tonight was to build a farming camp to....ya know...farm! So not too far in I see a massive rock next to a massive rock pillar and I think to myself, self, this could work for a base inside the rick again! So I start mining as La takes on deathsquitos and I'm able to get a few flights of stairs deep into this rock. I start building a log cabin in the rock as one does and we built a portal back to our Southie FOB just over the ridge. This works really well as nothing can get you inside a rock. I have since made a little farm outside with some spike defenses and planted our flax and barley. This will allow us to make some better food and what not. So all that black metal we are getting cannot be smelted yet which is annoying. I guess we need a blast furnace to do it which we unlock AFTER biomass. All this means is we are past due for punching that little bastard in the face. An event will be posted soon so we can defeat him and progress the server. Since we can one shot deathsquitos, we can now make needle arrows as we are getting a good amount of them. We have cloudberries all around which is new. OOOO I got a Lox trophy tonight. I went to pet one that I thought La tamed and boy was it not one of ours. Needless to say I got the better of it and he's now hanging on the wall! Enjoy the build, come on and enjoy!!

Did some work on Southie tonight. Forge up and running with smelter, the swamps here have those surtling guys that drop cores when you kill them. Make's it nice to farm cores! Anyway, since we are near a mountain, @RenFengge wanted to tame MORE wolves so we have a pen. We have one tamed in our home, will get others down the mountain later. I've also made a planter, and we are breeding 1 star pigs. Both the pigs and wolf pen are partially covered to give them some shelter. The main drag is inspired by old Quebec City sections which are built on a cliff. Neat old stone shops and what not. Either way, it's ready for everyone to come and start building their own home. Portal is upstairs on the right of the mead hall.

F-those fulings, they are all dead and hanging on my wall now! Oh and we killed a lox to get the meat and hide. La and I had our first successful plains raid. That green glowing stuff is black meatal. This camp offered up 30 ore!! I one shoted some deathsquitos too. The sneaky perk helps with the damage buff. Southie is coming along (follow here), we discovered that the island we are on has all 5 biomes. Good size mountains and swamps for iron gathering!!

Name: Southie FOB Location: Southie So @RenFengge and I went on a long sail this evening. We found ALL THE PLAINS and a new biome called Mistlands...we left promptly. our mission was to scout south for a forward operating base (FOB) for our journey to defeating Biomass. we sailed and sailed with no where to land and we mapped the Biomass island which is a massive swamp, massive mountain, and massive plains all rolled into one. It will make a super tough farming area and higher level base at some point. However, we still had a problem with a jumping off point to take out that little shit. we decided to head due west from the Biomass island and behold, the glory of the meadows. @Tar-Eruntalion and I were talking about our next project of setting up a little town rather than a massive building. I'm impatient so I chose this spot but not without good reason. Our little slice of heaven is packed between plains, black forest, and what appears to be a sizeable mountain. This is a great spot for our quick sail to Biomass and good FOB for you brave little bastards that want to give the plains a go. The goal of this place is to build a town where everyone builds their own little place with communal forge, smelter, upgraded work bench etc. Like the forge will be the blacksmith shop and so on. We can make walkways and signs as we expand. Walls and defenses are a must, was already raided by the swamp once while building our little home. I'm looking at you @Tar-Eruntalion to help make the town!!! OOO I'm breeding 1 star pigs too so we have a meat source, found a 1 star here when we landed. He was hanging our with a normie so I captured them both quickly. As soon as they birthed another 1 start I culled the normies so now we only get 1 stars. Portal is upstairs in the mead hall, right hand side.

What she said...

Welcome!

Name: Snow Lodge Location: FG Server, Mountain Portal Hub, Snow Lodge Her are the pics of our little place on the mountain.

Name: Base Camp Location: FG Server, Mountain Portal Hub So it's been a week and @Tar-Eruntalion and I have been hard at work making a new kind of base. I found a mostly sheer cliff and thought it would be neat to build a cliffside mountain staging base. What started off small, became a full fledged base of operations like HQ and Vault. The idea has now morphed into this being the portal hub for all Mountain biome exploring. When we find a new mountain range to pillage and want to suit up, store meads, and just pet a few dozen tamed wolfs (yeah, you read that right...thanks @RenFengge ), this is your base of operations. Plenty of warm beds, kitchen soon to come, working smelter and kiln in the basement, it's a one stop shop for your golem and drake killing needs. So far I have two portals set up, one to the 4th boss (nothing done here) and one straight up the mountain from base camp. It's hard enough to explore the mountains and why work harder to get to the good stuff. Just take the portal to our Snow Lodge, curl up by the fire, gaze at our dragon egg and have a drink. (Yes, @Bluebear in case you wondered who left you your night light... that was me!!). The lodge is also stocked with freeze meads so you can actually walk out the door. Beware, drakes and golems frequently spawn outside, as fix, our friend @FallenDark200 got on and did what he's so talented on...digging BFH around things. So now we have a mountain moat around the Snow Lodge to make it safer. It does work, the golems don't seem to be able to cross it, the black wolf night time thing fell in when it tried to jump us, so it works. As for the drakes, well, they fly so you are shit out of luck. try crafting some obsidian or fire arrows, they seem to do the trick. Ok, enjoy the build shots, and cheers again to @Tar-Eruntalion for the hard work. @GazzaGarrattI mean, we are building ALOT so you can mine some obsidian bud......

Man she was legend, this one hurts. Some of my favorite episodes for sure. it was nice watching these clips again.

Saw this yesterday, you can build some neat stuff in debug mode for sure.

Name: Heritage Site Location: FG Server, Home Base So @FallenDark200 gets on and asks, so what should we do? At the time I was figuring out what I was doing with the Restaurantheim currently being built dockside. I mentioned talking with @GazzaGarrattabout taking down most of the old unused part of the base and making a heritage site! What do you think about working on that? I could got get the words out and Justin runs by me full tilt, hammer out and I just shit flying. As you can see in the two shots below, there was some much deleting that the base was floating on hope and dreams before the server could catch up minutes later. As we cleaned up the 2k wood, I started preserving the site where the first wee little Vikings put down their first wooden bits of home. @Plumbers Crack was in on the original heritage conversation earlier in the day and mentioned something about blue markings. So the site was preserved, the a heritage sign and dedication was erected, and ale was consumed. Not a bad day's work, three berths at the docks completed, heritage site protected and ready for viewing, and @FallenDark200 starting working on a neat new building next to the dock. Enjoy!

Name: Fort OG Location: FG Server, Home Base So I log on today to find @Plumbers Crack continuing his deforestation of the amazon (black forest) and we decide to hold off on that for a bit. We head to home base and Dave goes "so should we make a few towers then, you get you OCD design going and I'll go deforest the meadows?" I mean, yea, this sounds like a good idea! So 7 hours later (Dave left after like 1.5) we have a new tower setup, remade forge and some upgrades. I'm particularly proud of my stack kiln/smelter setup. The kiln drops coal into a collection bin and you can either fill the smelter or the chest. Saves space and fits nicely in the new setup. I also dismantled the old structure I built by the OG part of the base. While getting the wood left in @Plumbers Crack destruction zone, I wandered into the mountains near by with a frost potion in hand. Now that I have an iron pickax, I want to find some obsidian so we can have a level 5 work bench. Long story short, I found a small deposit that yielded just enough for us to upgrade home base and Lake Vault to a level five bench...I'd like to introduce "Sir Forge A Lot" and "Baby Got Bench" (if you not get it, not my fault, it's been 25 years...So come reap the spoils of our troll murdering and upgrade those suits friends. Yes, that is indeed the heads of dink and doink the trolls that attack the base...it felt all but fitting to hang them on the wall!!! @RenFengge came on to do some maintenance and planting, I must say, having planters is pretty badass, looks neato. @FallenDark200 , check out these photos and the post above for updates since you went out to be present IRL.... I'll probably be on later to continue on the dock/harbor or some other areas at base if y'all want to jump on and hang.

So....we made an island...

Man it's been years since I've heard this. We used to sing this all the time in college. I mean we were most intoxicated at the time but it felt right!!

All the stone we can get and Vault and home lol

These guys are my spirit animal....

Name: Mead Hall Patio Location: FG Server, Home Base So after @RenFengge was tending to the pigs at home base and we were attacked AGAIN by two trolls, we decided to up the defenses. The trolls did a number on the pig pens and let some out. We had some stone built up from @FallenDark200 moat building spree so we started building. It's not done by a mile but it's better, La went and worked on the pens and I built the patio between the hall and the main original base. It was all nasty from the construction of the hall so it's all nice now. Planted a few big firs for the lolz and started a few bon fires. Next on the list: Finishing the dock with 3-4 slips, as you can see, I've started construction Terracing the rear or the base with large stone planters Extending the defenses on the shore side of the hall and around the back, these little greyling fuckwits keep getting in Community build event to revamp the main base? The interior needs some sprucing up with our more advanced skills Clean up the transition areas between buildings and make it nice for any new FG member who arrives Maybe extend the base out to the main alter? It's close enough

So some of you dragged me here, what's the deal with the Tuesday racing? I see the chart up top, what week is it? I'm still on the fence with caring enough to log into GT.

Oh she has, F that WOD.

Yep @GazzaGarratt, fixed the year too, it's a '68 not '69. Have had it 20 years now, my dad and I built it back in highschool. Bought it 2001, painted it in like 2006ish. That picture is a few years old but it was taken in the town we live now so it's current. Have not driven it in a few years which is killing me. Need to dump some money in it for new suspension, the 60 year old components need some love after a massive pot hole was hit a few years ago. I plan on dumping another 20k into it so just waiting. This is a body on frame car and they make some killer aftermarket rolling chassis's these days. They come with all new suspension too so that's like 12-15k right there. Have been working on the house for the last 7 years so it's on the back burner for now.
