Yes. A MapleStory-related parody of Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love. The idea spontaneously popped into my head while listening to the radio

Written by your favorite awesomeness potato-gem RussetAure, and dedicated to my friend Kevvl14 who got from level 81 to 100 by standing on the 2nd platform at Newties and holding down his Strafe key for hours, and who’ll probably never see this but whatever. Lyric sites get some credit too since I don’t like the song enough to listen to it all day to know all the original words by heart. read more

Chapter 9

Protect the weak
Avenge the strong
Stand up for the right
And right the wrong
Uphold the good
Through day and night
And combat the dark
To spread the light

The biting breath of the frigid air above El Nath mocked the auburn-haired priest as he stared out the tower’s window, desperately straining his eyes for something that wasn’t there. read more

In a roundabout way, this is MMO-related. First person to figure out how and why (basically, the subject of the poem) gets 1 free hp in Hurt and Heal

Tears

I thought I was standing up for you
I thought my cause was just and true
Its real effect, I never knew
Until I saw your tears.

I thought this was all for the best
I thought Fate would take care of the rest
Never thought I’d made such a mess
Until I felt your fears. read more

Author’s note: OMGAH IT’S FINALLY OUT. This chapter was on hold for way too long

By the way, the ‘Vallen’ in this story came before my character in Sins RP (I re-used the name). Also, ‘Team Sashimi’ is actually a reference to my old guild, SushiRox; ‘Sashimi’ used to be the JM rank title. o_o

Anyway, onto the story I guess.

I wrote out 3/4ths of a blog. And then Windows Update restarted my comp.

GG, R’Aure.

And I’m too lazy to type it out again, which is why you’re reading this irrelevant, pending-deletion stub of a blog right now.

Assassinate ftw?

I’ll post Leaves 8 soon. I promise.

._.

I was going to post ch 8 of Two Thousand Leaves, but I have a sudden urge to play Rakion instead. So this shall serve as a placeholder and a blogspace-waster until I’m back.

‘Course, all of you are probably relieved you don’t have to endure my suckish writing yet, aren’tcha.

(They’ll have paper walls next…)

I’d like to direct your attention to the screenshot at left.
…
If you’re a Rakion player, you’ll immediately recognize what’s wrong in that picture. If you aren’t, but you tend to assume a lot, and have somewhat of an intuition on top of that, maybe you can guess.

Otherwise… here’s a hint. Mages in Rakion have a whirlwind attack, which repels enemy players away but has a long delay, which makes it useless except for knocking someone off an edge or something. It looks like this (bad angle, but you should get the idea). read more

So I’m a freeloader.

SimpleMS. It’s a you-know-what -coughprivatecoughservercough-. Created by SimplyIntricate of MapleTip. (And I’m not a member of MapleTip – relating back to my first sentence.)

What amazes me about this is how easy it is to join up, compared to just about everything else on the internet (or elsewhere, for that matter). I click a link, enter an ID, password, and birthday, create a shortcut to MS.exe on my desktop, click Properties and modify a line according to their directions, click it, and start playing. No need to even download anything (well, except the original GMS, if you happen not to have that installed). Sure lives up to its name. read more

Since there isn’t a Rakion category, I’m putting this under Gunbound. Rakion isn’t even technically a MMO, for reasons I don’t exactly understand, but it’s still a multiplayer online game. And that’s good enough for me. If it isn’t good for you, go be emo in Underground Altar or something.

Anyway, onto the blog. read more

With the help of 2x drop and a ~50%/hr LMPQ, EmeraldAure is level 60.

Finally. Insert expletive. I’ve been level 59 for too insert more expletives long.

So of course, the first thing I do is equip my gear. Blue Tai, check. White Polyfeather, check. Shoes, no check, but who needs those things anyway. Golden Crow… crud.

I surf FM rather unsuccessfully. read more
