Herald of the End 2:25 am I hate summer. It is sometimes confusing when I hear people looking forward to summer like it is somehow better than the other season they are currently in. What's so great about it? I'm currently awake not because I wish to be, but rather because I fear that if I try to sleep, I will suffocate from the 100% humidity. I honestly feel as if some assassin is trying to bring me down with a wet towel around the face. Then there's the argument about all this "free time" you have during the summer. Uh...what free time? You mean the free time I spend working a full-time low-paying job, worrying about scholarships, doing yard work, oversleeping, being smothered whenever I step outside, fighting away millions of parasitic organisms, all the while seeing everyone's personal hygiene drop to zero because of the oppressive heat and humidity? Oh, that time. I must have forgotten... In case you're wondering: no, no, and no. I finally finished the Xenosaga review but am currently unable to post it as there are about five people I don't know in my room watching the Matrix. Besides the fact that I just want to relax and perhaps start studying or working on my two Programming labs, I don't think I could stop myself from passing out if I seal myself in that airless chamber. Yes, the windows are open and the fans are going, but they may as well be pumping carbon dioxide at the rate of ten cubic meters per second for all the help they're doing. The title of this update is more or less correct: I do not think another update will be made for quite some time. There is a small chance that I will update once more before I leave Wittenberg for home--to post the Xenosaga review--but if that doesn't pan out, then I'm not entirely sure what the prospects of updating over the summer are. Before I leave I'll map out Razor Witt to my hard drive so that I can possibly upload it easily to some free service like Xoom or Geocities. In either case, you will always be able to access the site through "http://flash.to/razorwitt" or "http://up.to/razorwitt". Your best bet would be to bookmark the latter as the current outlook for Flash.to isn't all too clear. Some other items of interest are that the two AD&D campaigns I took part in have both ended. One was hosted by a sophomore named Sean. That ended with my character--"El" Cid, the evil cleric--becoming a lesser deity for the Watchmen. I'll spare you the details. The second campaign that ended was my own. The general consensus was that it "kicked total ass" and that "[I] never thought anyone would be able to pull that off"; encouraging words if there was ever any for a first-time DM. My campaign was the most planned-out of any that I have seen or heard about, and I was not entirely sure at the time how it would work in the classical D&D sense. Essentially, the campaign is a part of a story-arc that will have at least three "Acts," although that might be lengthened to six. The three players who braved the experiment completed Act 1: Herald of the Soulless. Again, I'll spare the details, but I should mention how tempted I am to simply making a Feature out of all the material I've written. In fact, that may be something to look forward to in the months to come...because as we all know, there's nothing else to look forward to in summer other than its eventual end. Cheers.
