DC Universe Online
I know I am late to this party, but I finally discovered DC Universe Online. Since I have the station pass, I now have complete access to all of Sony Online Entertainments online PC games such as EverQuest, EverQuest 2, Planetside, DC Universe etc. I do play EverQuest and EverQuest 2 and I’ve always wanted to play DC Universe and now I finally get that chance.
I thought that since it was the same company that made EQ, I figured the game play would be the same where I just hit the arrows to move forward, backward and so on, but this is way different. In order for me to move, I have to move the mouse for direction (forward and side to side) while hitting the forward key. That’s kind of difficult to do considering the mouse is on top of the desk and I use my right hand, and the arrow keys are on the right side of the keyboard in the keyboard tray. Since my right hand is on the mouse, I have to reach my left hand over to the arrows. I’m sure there is an easier way, maybe I can hit W or something to move forward, I don’t know. In EQ and EQ2 you can hold both mouse buttons to move, but with DCUO, the mouse buttons are for fighting, not direction. It’s very confusing and will take awhile to adjust.
The game is very fun and I’ve already gotten to level 5. There are only 30 levels in the game, but I think I’m fine with that. I mean, I don’t plan on playing this game for the rest of my life.
My character is a superman type of character where I can fly and he is fire based, so all of my abilities involve fire, obviously lol. I can’t run fast like other people who I have seen playing a “Flash” type character, but I’m good with what I have. I have found that the space bar sends me up in the sky, so when I am about to die, I just start pounding on the space bar to save myself.
This game takes a lot of skill to play, but my main reason for wanting to play it is because I have always wanted to be involved in something where I am a superhero, like Superman. I would eventually love to create a Wonder Woman type of character, male or female, yes I have that option as a male. I would also like to try a Batman type character and even an evil villain type of character.
Oh, just in case you are wondering what my character’s name is, it’s Xanapan. I tried Xanaman, but that was taken, so I just changed the “M” to a “P.” I know, it’s not very clever, but I’m hooked on the Xana name lol.
Well, I am off to go save some innocent citizens.

Professional Photo Albums
Have you or anyone in your family recently have a bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, christening, wedding or anniversary party that was so special that you wanted to preserve it forever? If so, did you or they have a professional photographer? Did they print out a photo album? If so, what was it like?
Wouldn’t you just love to have a book made that shows the beautiful colors in all of your pictures from your special event with a beautiful hardcover and thick pages that will last many lifetimes?
I would suggest heading on over to Photo Productions because they make quality photo albums that you will cherish forever.
I was looking at the slideshow in their front page and they really do look awesome. I’m not gonna lie, they are pricey, but they are quality and that is what you look for when you are preserving these wonderful memories. You wouldn’t get married in a cheap wedding dress you bought at Wal-Mart, so why would you buy a cheap photo album to put your biggest memories in? Basically, you get what you pay for.
They come in eight different album sizes, two orientations and three design styles. You can choose anywhere from 10 to 35 pages giving you 12 to 212 photos for your album.
They are in the United Kingdom and they offer free delivery. Like I said, you get what you pay for. If you aren’t in the UK they do ship internationally at an extra charge.
Check them out and see how awesome their albums look, well don’t let me stop you, go for it!

Facebook Timeline Fun
I have been having way too much fun in Facebook lately with their timeline images. I play a game called EverQuest and EverQuest 2, well actually to be honest I play a lot of games lol. I’ve been taking screen shots from the game so that I can make a banner and an icon that blends together perfectly. It gives the illusion that the picture of me in the icon is floating on the banner, or at least I think so. Take a look at this one of my half-elf from EverQuest 2 on one of my Facebook profile. Of course last night I changed it so it’s my image, but doesn’t that blend together nicely?
I actually got the idea to do this from the Sears Facebook page. I’m sure other pages are doing the same thing, but I haven’t seen a lot of them.
It took some trial and error, but I figured it out. I have a template that I use where I put in the background image under the frame, then I select the banner and hide the frame then copy and paste the banner into a new image. Then I show the frame again so I can copy the icon and I paste that into a new image and then add my character (or my real picture which I cropped out the background) and viola, icon that blends with the banner.
I think this is so cool, I wish my Blog had this feature lol.
