Hello and welcome to the madness. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do here just yet, but I would imagine it will begin with my rants that are longer than 140 characters.

I’m so thrilled to see this that I can barely contain my joy. Thank you for the likes and reblogs and, most of all to geekgirlsmash for the post! You’re my favorite person in the world right now.
I hope you find the site useful and if there are any suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me here.

Gamer Seeking Gamer is a site similar to a dating site, that exists to help you find people to game with in your area, and it’s free. They give you up to four profiles, depending on what you’re looking to do, and it can even be used for MMO guild recruitment.
So, if you’re looking for a group, online, or in meat space go check it out. I’m giving it a try to see if I can get a group together in my area.
So… As you might have guessed, I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan. Recently, they released “Celebration Day”, a 2-CD (plus DVD or Blu Ray video) set that contains the final (?) reunion concert they did at the O2 arena in December of 2007. For those of us that couldn’t be there, this album was my hope to be able to experience in some small way.
It exceeded my expectations. The entire show was amazing. They sounded like the rock-gods they are, throwing down their music like lightning and thunder from the hammer of the gods.
It is well worth picking up and rocking out to. If this is, indeed, their last show ever, it is a great way to end it.

Classic Fantasy RPG: Primary Abilities and Resist Rolls
Reblogged from classicfantasy
After much thought, I have decided to move forward with my alternate ability scores and “saving throws”, now called Resist Rolls. A summary can be found below:
Ability Scores
- Strength - Represents a character’s physical strength. Affects how much can be carried, skills that require physical…
This is a sample of what I’m working on with Gamer Seeking Gamer. It is the current version of what a user’s profile page will look like. There are still a few tweaks coming, but I thought I’d share. As always, comments and questions are welcome.
Pentatonix is the reigning (and final? I hope not) champion of the Sing Off. They are amazing and you should check them out. This is a member of the group, Avi, doing a solo number he wrote. It is a wonderful piece of music and he is a hidden gem. Enjoy.

Gamer Seeking Gamer on Facebook
I know, I know… and I still don’t have a personal Facebook page. However, I can see its benefits for my little website in order to spread the word about it. So, it’s there. Please “like” it if you do. If not, that’s cool too. Regardless, if you are a gamer of any type of multi-player game, either online or off, please check out Gamer Seeking Gamer!
Updated my Layout
I like it, but I wish I could figure out how to make my avatar image just a bit bigger. Not that anyone comes here anyways, haha!
Tha Mo Ghaol Air Aird a' ChuainJulie Fowlis
Reblogged from geekgirlsmash
This is my 2nd most anticipated movie of the year. And, I just saw the Avengers, so Brave is now my most anticipated movie of the year. Who’s 2nd now? Prometheus.
Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A’ Chuain
Julie Fowlis
I heard this song in the trailer of Pixar’s upcoming movie Brave. So I searched around the net and found the title and meaning.
This song is a Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) song. The song is beautiful. And if you read the meaning, it’ll be much more.
Below I’ll post the translation. And of course, the link to the original lyrics.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
My Love Is On the High Seas
On a quiet evening at the beginning of May
When the bat was in the skies
I heard a tearful young maiden
Singing beneath the shadow of the green branches
The sun was setting in the sea
And no stars yet graced the sky
When the young girl sang sorrowfully
"My love is on the high seas"
The night's dew began to fall
Each bloom yielding softly to the droplets
The wind blew in a fragrant breeze
Bringing life and renewal to each field
The girl tunefully sang her song
Quiet and peaceful like the June dew
And this chorus constantly repeated
"My love is on the high seas"
Day darkened and the stars shone
Setting their course amongst the clouds
The maiden sat, burdened by her sadness
Her singing could not have been more soothing
I moved closer to the young woman
Singing of her love sailing on the sea
Oh sweet was her sad lament
"My love is on the high seas"
The music enticed me
Nearer to the brown-haired maiden of the warm eyes
And she prayed to the King of Heaven
"Protect my love on the high seas"
Her heart was breaking with love
When I took her by the hand
"Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
I have returned to you from the high seas."———————————————————————————————————-

Wow! I’ve gotten a lot of reblogs on this! I appreciate each and every one! Not to mention the members that signed up for GSG. Thank you all.
Also, about the concern of it turning in to a dating site, I will be very careful on this and have had the same concern. There’s no searching by gender, so I am hoping that will help curb the attempts, and there will be an easy to use report tool.
Plus, with the user blogs, multiple profiles, and other features, I really feel it will be come a community rather than simply a match-making site.
Again, thank you to all those who liked, reblogged, and/or signed up! You are all awesome!

So, I haven’t been posting much on here, but that’s because I have been hard at work creating a website that I think will be a very welcome addition to gamer world. It is called Gamer Seeking Gamer and it is designed to bring gamers together to play games. Online or table top, MMO or shooter, collectible card game or traditional board game and everything in between. You will be able to search by location, game type, and even preferred style of play.
Each member will have 4 available profiles that will allow them to detail what games they play, where and when they play them, and their preferred play styles. One of the profiles even focuses on promoting and recruiting for clans and guilds! There may be other “find gamer” sites out there, but none of them are as robust or detailed as Gamer Seeking Gamer will be. The best part? It’s all FREE!
The site isn’t live yet, but we’re very close to making early sign ups available. So, I would like to spread the word now. Gamers, please reblog this and let your fellow gamers know that soon, they won’t have to go to an outdated forum thread to try to find people to play with. They will be able find people instantly that play the same games they do and, more importantly, the same way they do!

Fantasy Football
I was conned into joining a fantasy football league with some coworkers. I am pretty happy with my team. Now, let’s see what this is all about. This is my first time. I’ve already retroactively lost my first game, though. So, that’s a bummer. :( I hope today goes better!
