Riex captured by penguins! The Arctic overrun with sarcasm!
Filed in News / The Story of RiexPosted on May 13, 2008
I swear, I change my mind every five minutes. And I did it again. Here’s teh scoop:
I’m currently on a blogging hiatus due to my untimely capture by the Ice Penguins of the frozen north. Valiantly I fought against them, knowing that I had a responsibility to my readers and that hell…typeZERO’s been up for how long and already there’s a hiatus? But alas, my attempts to foil them ended with me getting flipper-slapped around like a fool then forced to dance to some avian interpretation of “gangsta music”.
I’ve managed to bribe the Flipper King (who, as it turns out is a rather nice fellow…forced to act like a badass even though he’d rather just chat over a barrel of fish) long enough to send you this message. In the spirit of urgency, I’ve thrown out the funny business to get you the real hard facts before I’m taken away again. I’m not sure how long I’ll be here, and if anyone can…come save me!

I know, crazy right? In any event, Riex has left his personal assisstant, Xeir (that’s me!) in charge until he gets back. I’m not a great writer, but I can answer whatever questions you may have. I can also cook up a mean batch of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
Alright, alright!
There is no Xeir, there are no penguins (yet!), and my reasonings for hiatus are much less interesting than those above. You can stop giving me that look now. Geeze.
Here are the real, if less believable reasons for my hiatus:
- After about three months of being sober, I dived right back into my wowcrack addiction. The World of Warcraft and I have a love/hate relationship, but it manages to absorb my time anyway. Initially it was the addition of the latest patch (new shinies!) that grabbed me, but now it’s become the discovery of the one other class I actually enjoy leveling besides those I already have (I has a 70 warrior and druid…working on a rogue).
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as King released on Wiiware yesterday and it’s fscking addictive. More on that in a future post.
- I’m becoming disenchanted with many aspects of anime and the current season isn’t offering much in the way of comfort. More on that in a future post.
- I’ve really got to get some of my financial shit in order..and this requires time and effort on my part. The stress from that doesn’t compliment my writing style very well unless there’s a new Naruto episode out.
- I hate boxes. And I put myself in one despite all the high-saddle ramblings of the last post.
That said, I’ve got some post ideas (if you didn’t catch all the “future post” tags up there) that I should be rolling out within the next week. But typeZERO is going to undergo a few changes that you may or may not like. More on that in a future post. Stick with me, and I promise you’ll see a better Riex before it’s all said and done. This site will be the shit no matter how many kittens I have to punt through glass windows (make sure they bring their helmets KaeBoo!).


Good luck with the financial stuff . . . and with finding a support group to kick that WoWcrack addiction!
I was seriously ready to be like, WELCOME Xier!!!
well. I like your first story better. (NOOOOOOOOOO, i’ve lost another to WoW!!!) looking to future posts!
Did I tell you I sold my WoW account? Oh yeah, I did, it’s gone. And guess where he took all my characters, to hakkar, hahaha, funny as hell. ANYWAY, dude, I get you, WoW and shit. But if you wanna really quit it, stop paying it, and stop using it, sell it. I’ll eventually play.
On a second note, log on even if it’s to say some random BS crap, doesn’t have to be anything fancy that will dazzle us all like the usual, you can even tag it with <not dazzling> blah blah </not dazzling>
And am I guessing this, or is it that you’re back on your hunter?
And a third note, damn, I’m a bit dissapointed with a couple of series out there, they’re not all that “truly epic” and some are very good, it’s just that there’s so much filling to every episode it’s just a bunch of wtf bunnies.
Becoming disenchanted with anime? You are watching Soul Eater, right? And Macross F? (Kure-nai?)
Suck it up. I’m on hiatus too, but it’s not like I’ve stopped posting.
oh, you mean like these… ???

@IKnight
But it’s such a goooooood addiction.
@Hoshi
I like the penguin kidnapping story better too. Xeir may be back..someday.
@Exodus
You sold it! Noooo! What will you do come expansion pack? I was counting on your Venezuelan ass to run with me from 70-80. And nah man, I’m leveling a butt elf rogue named Gekkostate.
@Myu
I’m watching everything you listed. Look for my post on disenchantment in 2-3 days. Maybe then you’ll understand! Muahahaha!
@Baka-Raptor
That was like a slap in the face. But the good kind…the kind that reminds you that you’re a man with man balls and man stuff to do. At the least, it helped motivate me a bit.
@Kaeboo
LOL at the cats. Before all is said and done, you’re gonna be a typeZERO celebrity. LOL at the cats!
Tish Tish Tish, to be overcome with such a addiction, how dare you fall into the depths of that “wowcrack” tears. Anyways the website designer from http://www.glasshills.co.uk and I are going to start a blog about graphic design / web design so its gonna be about css / html / photoshop and just stuff like that we’ll both good with, and he asked me to look for someone with blog experience etc…. to help with everything. If your interested drop me a comment at my blog (not much to my blog haven’t had time to put up any updates with graduation around the corner, but i’m going to get to it). So if your interested let me know.
peace
