This is gonna be one of those rare occasions where something happened and I need to talk about how awesome it was. Now over the past weekend my unit pulled drill. What was fun about this drill was that it's main focus was a training exercise called "Defend a Convoy Against a Ground Attack". Being either the driver or gunner gotta be one of the most fun parts of this exercise.
We started off pretty slow for a convoy pace. Usually you'd be hitting around 70mph which is supposed to be normal. However, because of the intel that we got my plt leader played it safe and kept the convoy at a slow distance up till the first IED. After the IED was spotted and confirmed we backed up around 300meters and then peeled off into a open area to form a cigar formation. After the IED was cleared we then proceeded with the mission. The lead vehicle then spots another possible IED and the orders come in for the convoy to stop. We then back up again without fully confirming it. While that happens opfor appear and attack the lead vehicles. They return fire WHILE backing up. Crazy. Afterwards the decision is made to push on through. My gunner is so stuck on his sector of fire that he completely ignores the enemy on the left while facing his right.
Now I'm the fifth vehicle, and my TC is our plt sgt, so the majority of the people in the humvee were thinking, "we're definitely gonna get hit." That wasn't the case and instead our plt leader's vehicle got hit which was the third vehicle. Behind it was a LMTV which stopped and tried to open comms with the down vehicle. While my humvee is parked behind it with my plt sgt waiting on comms tp assess the situation. Then we got hit from the right and not only does my gunner's 249 malfunction, the damn bolt pops out as soon as he tries to find out what wrongs with it. So we're sitting there with no gunner atm, and what do we do? My sergeant rolls down the window and returns fire. Now the simulation we were going with was that we were in up armored humvee. I mean the humvees that are fully enclosed and need an ac for it. So technically the window isn't suppose to roll down. What we should've done sooner was to pass up a weapon to our gunner so he could return fire. The LMTV in front of us decides to finally pull up to the side to assess the down vehicle. We form a box formation and get the vehicle up and running. We then wait again on the LMTV in front of us to get moving since which takes a while and this puts nearly everyone, myself included, pissed off at the fact that we're still sitting ducks. Finally arriving at the FOB we quickly form up, secure the area and call in the reports. Overall a fun experience but something that the platoon needs to improve on greatly. But our instructor says for a engineer company, "not bad".
Overall it was a very enjoyable battle assembly and we did a lot of cool stuff. Can't wait to try it again.

#309914 Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Posted by Zero BD on 27 January 2011 - 07:55 AM in Otaku Square
Episode one already got me hooked not because of how it looked or even the voice actors that were assembled for the characters (Eri is a goddess!). What got me was how dark the content was, I mean c'mon, this is suppose to be a magical girl show! The enemies are something out of nightmares and they fully intend on devouring you. What drove me even more was the dialogue from episode two with the fact that they were really pushing on how even the act of becoming a magical girl (or Puella Magi in the show) there will be consequences. And then what happened in episode three... Everyone who I've been forcing to watch this show really didn't expect something like this to happen in episode three. I really don't wanna spoil it for you guys cause it's one of those things that you gotta see for yourself.
Overall Shaft has figured out a awesome formula for this post moe boom and that's "Make it look moe, make it sound moe, but don't give them moe" and I applaud them. Good work gentlemen.

@whirl Yeah that is a small guild. Right now my guild has around 15-20 active members so the guild is full of alts and bank alts and just characters that are still in the low levels.
@cloud Every time I go in that instance I'm always in my ret spec for some reason... If you confidently feel that you can handle one add on you're own then tell the group leader and have either the two other dps on the other add or you can also get the tank in to help as well. Positioning isn't that big of a deal when the adds are summoned.

Now this entry is something new to me since we won't be talking about my travels. It's a more personal blog cause I'll be talking about what's been going locally. So let's get start off with today's topic.
MHG. It is the name of my friends group. Formed around the single unifying thought that resonates with the name, maybe I'll tell you about it one day. From MHG there has spawned two filming circles, Old Guys Productions and Magicant Productions. I work deeply with Old Guys Production, chiefly as a writer, actor and the group's local military consultant. The Raid was our first and so far only script driven piece and will be until The Raid 2 is finished. The Raid was mainly a chance to see if our Old Guys could work with a script because everything up to that point had been improv. It was a tedious process designing the script but in the end it was enjoyable. I hadn't really written anything since my break from FF.net nearly 2 years ago. It was a spark that I hadn't felt for so long. After we finished with The Raid, I went to work for it's sequel. Another first for Old Guys. We're still in the production period so I've been really busy. Not too mention that Cata came out but I'll talk about that later.
The two experiences with script writing has lead me to an idea that I've never really took serious till now, and that's being a mangaka. I've gotten my three friends involved as well as they're all excited about trying it out. I'm in charge of story and creating the basic storyboard. My friend Drixie then takes the storyboard and draws the characters and polishes the paneling. We then hand it off to our friend Josh who will take care of backgrounds. The last person who sees it is Schneider who'll finish up with the tones and any lines. It eventually gets scanned and the speech bubbles are added at last. At least that's the idea I'm not done with chapter 1's storyboard yet. It's really hard coming up with 20 pages while reading a script. But I'm confident that I'll have it out before the week's done. I hope you guys will support us as we premiere Gonal in the near future.
That's about it for this log. Next time I'll be talking about Cata, the military and maybe even some of the stuff we do while filming. So till next time, later.

We started to raid 2 weeks ago and... Only managed to kill Algaloth... Seriously these new bosses are no joke. Especially if you're barely meeting the gear requirements. So far we've only tried BWD and both Magmaw and the Defense system are making quick work of us, although 5 mins isn't really quick in a boss fight. Still we'll continue to strive forward and try again when the raids reset this week. Hopefully some t11 pally tank gear drops from BH and we can continue raiding like normal.
