Plot Twists

I'm not having a good day today when it comes to the hidden and rather nasty surprises that I have been finding. And the funny part is that the both of them I just found out less than an hour ago, and the day is almost over.

Today on World of Warcraft, I was pretty pumped up. I was level 19 when I logged in today, and I kept on thinking to myself and even exclaiming out loud, like an idiot, that in one more level I could finally wear mail armor. I did a run of VC today again (we defeated Mr. Smite and then I had to log due to a thunderstorm, however Kyle, who was doing it with me, finished it) and I knew that the next time I attempted it, at level 20+ with my stunning mail armor, that I would own the competition. Well, I was in Westfall/Duskwood training for a bit to get Kappa, my pet wolf, to level 20, and then I flew to Stormwind to travel to the hunter master. I was excited that I would finally be able to defend myself in melee combat without getting huge chunks of HP reduced from me, while Kappa helps me with taking down the enemy. To my surprise, I got to the hunter master to find out that I can only buy the ability to wield mail armor at level 40. I felt like I received a bullet to my head. Here I was thinking that dual wield and mail were both 20, but nope, mail is 40. At least I'll receive two good gifts at 40 then -- a mount and mail armor. I better save up on gold. I probably used about three gold today just buying abilities for my wolf and me, and plus I was in the middle of buying a crossbow, quiver, and arrows when I was disconnected at the bank. I might go on after I post this entry to finish up what I was doing, maybe train my crossbow skills a bit, and then log. Sounds like a plan.

The second little twist is minor, as I can accept it and work around it, but still, it's a bit surprising. As you may or may not know, I own RPG Maker XP Postality Knights edition. Yes, it may exactly be legal, but if a web site offers me something to download, then it's the site's fault and not mine. Anyway, the program is a very good game maker with a clean interface, brilliant 2D graphics, and requires no knowledge of scripting in order to complete a game. I'm creating a game, very slowly, called 'Vile Island'. I can't give away the plot as of yet, but I can tell you what's bugging me about it. I already created a few uncompleted areas, and one completed area when it comes to the map, but not the events. This one area is called 'Vile Village'. I remember a while back when I brought up the topic of my game to Kyle or another friend, they stated that Vile Village seemed familiar and may have a public use already. While sitting here late at night seeing if my internet connection was working properly after I repaired it, I searched for 'Vile Village' on Google and found out the little plot twist that could overwrite the plot of my game. In the series "A Series of Unfortunate Events" is a book titled "The Vile Village". What are the chances? Well, screw them, I'm using Vile Village. In their usage, it seems like they're using the word 'vile' to describe the village, whereas in my usage, 'Vile' is actually just a part of the village's name, as the island is Vile Island. Thus it seems legit for me. It's not really a big deal as I'm probably only distributing my game to friends free of charge. Now if I was actually making a game and selling it, then maybe a problem would come about.

Well, that's it from me. Have a good one.
