Boss Mob with a guitar??


Every MMO I have played there has always been that memorable BOSS MOB. Not because of how difficult or the way a group would have to defeat it, but it's presence. Yeah I know that's weak at best, but I am always impressed by presence.

Its all about the presence.

I could write about all the boss mobs I have witnessed in all of their grandeur but that's not the direction I am going....(sound of tires screeching to a stop, usually the stupid noise we make that sounds like Eerrt!)

With my passion for gaming and love for music I was curious of who would have made great Boss Mobs..

Stevie Nicks – (the Witch Queen)

Elton John – (the tricky jester type)

...just to name a few but most artists can fulfill any role in an MMO. It would be interesting to see how a gaming world could be filled with artists of today. 

Justin Bieber would most definitely be a minion or trash mob to kill repeatedly for quest progression, I'm just saying.

Grastoke trifecta

Undoubtedly an emotional song that crossed boundaries and reached a level that in my opinion, has yet had an equal. "Hurt" by Trent Reznor and the cover by Johnny Cash took our breath away.

It's a covers cover and Grastoke's latest effort,


On a roll with Grastoke

More from Grastoke, keeping an eye for more...


Peeking in...

Yeah it's been quiet and I hate it. I sure miss working with the various projects I was involved in over the summer.

I really don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. Working the night shift has really messed things up but I still hope to settle in, and get back in the mix.

 Until then I'll let someone else keep the blog alive..

Take it away Grastoke, Ozark Mountain Daredevils cover...enjoy.

Apologies for being quiet and the “Closet Drive By” edition...

This is your LAST CHANCE. After this, there is...Image by kirainet via FlickrHope the Holidays are going well with everyone, time with family, friends and a little R&R. Life has been busy here, along with the Holidays I am the proud owner of new work hours. Naturally being thankful for being employed, but trying to adjust to the “Rabbit Hole”, I was hoping for the “Blue Pill”.

It's the overnight shift that I am trying to get used to and it's turned my world upside down. I have no doubt that I can adjust, millions of people have, it's just getting there. I miss my pod-casts and time on air and hope to be up and running again soon after all, new is just around the corner.



We are creeping up to the New Year and very soon the busy season will be behind us. I like new stuff because it's...well...it's new. The New Year is like a blank piece of paper, empty, unexplored newness to create whatever we are able to create.

The old piece of paper is marked with mistakes and corrections, our finest moments, accomplishments and the occasional “Oops”. The old paper is wrinkled from use and completely covered, no room for anything else, it's now old and used. It's what we do with the old that determines how we take care of the new.

Some will just toss the old paper away because after all, it's old. Others will smooth out the wrinkles, frame and hang it where they can use it for reference. I don't think there is a right or wrong way, only your way. Some are very confident on how the old piece of paper was used and shred it with the other unneeded documents on life. I fall into the paper hoarder crowd.

My file cabinet looks like someone eating with their mouth full, it's a small 2 door file cabinet with 3 decades of old paper. For me it has nothing to do with confidence, I just enjoy seeing where I have been. I can't wait for the New stuff, I cant wait to get used to the Rabbit Hole and I can't wait to see what my hobby, “Massive Multiplayer Online Games”, have coming in the new year.

Whatever your hobby, your get away, your R&R may be, I hope it's always fresh and new.

Happy New Year.
