The World needs you ..do something

Hello there.
I feel lucky, My house is warm, i have a full re fridge of food and can foods in my basement.
Just had a yummy breakfast and typing this from my living room rocking chair.
I am a very lucky man.
I … i…. i…. me… me… me… point of this is not me..
quote-our-lives-are-to-be-used-and-thus-to-be-lived-as-fully-as-possible-and-truly-it-seems-harry-chapin-55-57-78
 
For 20 years i’ve listened and watched the world hungerthon on various local tv and
listened on radio. This year it really hit me for some reason.
Maybe there’s a way I could help. I been sick awhile myself and take care of a blind person.
So alot of time im in my own world. Thinking of my issues. But really I am lucky.
So last few nights and days I been tweeting, emailing, streaming, and just trying to just get people
to think about others that don’t have the vary basic thing we need as a human.
Nutrition. My 10 or 12 hours of talking to people in teamspeaks, vox, text, may result in planting a seed (see what i did there)
in peoples minds to do something.
”When in doubt do something positive. ” So i donated my time. Last year I donated warm clothes,
and food throughout the year to my local shelter.
This year I spend 10-15 hours just chatting with people about hunger.
Whatever your passion may be to help a fellow person.. do it. Don’t wait..take action.
there's things you can do even if it is not a money donation.. grow some veggies during the summer and donate them to the shelter..
tell your neighbors your collecting old coats to bring to a shelter.
(i’m going to volunteer my time every year now doing what i did this week. it cost me nothing and more I spoke about the topic
the more I would look for questions people might have making me more knowledgeable)
I want to share this site if you don’t mind… I been watching or listening to it every Tuesday for 20+ years on New York radio and tv.
The sites was created about a organization Harry Chapin (http://www.harrychapinmusic.com/ ) made in the 80’s.
What people don’t know is Harry donated like 75% of his money to feeding people that needed help.
don’t think about money or donating.. just read the site and think… what can you do for people?
thanks for taking time to read this poorly written wall of text. on your busy day.

ArchAge players accuse video game developers of violating consumer laws


SAN MATEO, Calif. (Legal Newsline) — Three video gamers recently sued the developer of a “free-to-play” game over allegations that it misrepresented the game.
Aaron Van Fleet, Paul Ovberg and James Longfield, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a class-action lawsuit in September in California Superior Court, San Mateo County against Trion Worlds, Inc. for allegedly violating the Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, as well as for negligent misrepresentation.
The case has since been removed to federal court.
Trion Worlds is the developer of a game called ArchAge, which is marketed as a “free-to-play” game in which players either advance through playing the game, or by purchasing virtual game goods with real world money or purchasing a subscription service.
The plaintiffs allege the company violated California law by failing to provide customers with the benefits it promises players who purchase game goods. Each of the plaintiffs allegedly spent $149.99 on a founders pack, which promised each player a “Patron” status for discounts and virtual gaming goods.
The plaintiffs allege, however, that the defendant did not honor its promises and has therefore violated consumer laws.
They are suing for restitution damages, an injunction against the defendant from further unlawful acts, court costs and attorney fees, and any other rewards deemed proper by the court. They are represented by attorneys Susan S. Brown, Karl Olson and Michael F. Ram of Ram, Olson Cereghino & Kopcyzynski LLP in San Francisco; Toby J. Marshall of Terrell Marshall Daudt & Willie PLLC in Seattle; and Venkat Balasubramani of Focal PLLC in Seattle.

DANGER TO ALL OF US
I am one of few people that miss lectures of various sciences and history I was able to
have the benefit of attending at night school.
Recently I decided to start watching some of the available lectures on you tube.
Some really wonderful topics discuss by a plethora of amazing people. Individuals that have spent their entire life's studying
various topics and then put on youtube for you to expand your mind. All for the price of FREE.
Free KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE that can be taken advantage by all ages.
In the last week or so I've come across the following 2 videos that really interest me and I thought
I would share them with you. Posted by Stanford University. Please take time out of your busy schedule to
watch. As a human being these topics should be important to you. Even if takes you a few weeks to watch, few minutes at a time.
you will question yourself what can I do to help the earth and my environment.

WARNING: sixth mass extinction is here

Star Date: Operation Furniture
Captains Log: MMO furniture Wars
Written for my friend at SwordandKeyboard.com
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Buckle up! I know alot about mmo’s, I was a spokes man for the first mmo World of Warcraft.
MMO furniture wars. It’s 2015, we killed each other enough, killed enough Murlocs
Quagen, Wolf’s, Worms, Centaurs, Orcs, Gnomes and other various creators.
I’ts just not any fun killing stuff anymore. So I told all the devs of various games, lets just all
make furniture, for are virtual houses. Devs said hey that might be a great Idea Jim,
we can sell all those houses and make millions. Instead of making games we can just be like Ikea but virtual furniture outlets.
I’t all started that way. I,  Captain Kirk came up with the idea. Now like 5 of the top mmo’s in development are selling make believe ships, cars, houses and furniture for millions of dollars.
Even better and more peaceful, you don’t even get to use them just look at pictures of those items,
this way making it more echo friendly. You can look at pictures of the stuff you bought then log off saving tons of money on the electric bill. You can brag to your neighbors about the $457 dollars you spent for a virtual castle and how by doing that your lessening your personal echo foot print
and helping stop global warming . They will think you are a hero rather then the weirdo down the street that never comes out of the house and has daily delivery’s from dominoes, larry’s sub shop andPiggly Wiggly.  Does not matter your lawn is 2 feet long, and garbage not put out in a decade. They all will know now you Sir are an environmentalist.
I as a spokesman for gaming think everyone should buy at least $100 worth of virtual home goods a month. It will kick start the economy. Especially with the success of Ikea and home goods, and more and more women playing, and guys that like pink fluffy stuff, why not, I can see a full blown industrial boom of virtual furniture, billion people buying virtual furniture saves on waste, saves trees, energy, and will greatly reduce the worlds carbon foot print.
Grand Parents just died? Hit the lottery? came into huge wealth. Blow it all on your favorite game..

So far I've played about 6 hours...  1st I would like to say this was not a planned purchase and I did not play
the previous DA games. I am not a big fan of EA and limit my purchases from them. Because of reasons I dont want to get into
plus I am a huge steam fanboy. (yes people over fifty can be a fanboy LOL)

Graphics
Really love the artwork
Solid overall quality even on my dated machine (3 years old/ was all current parts when I bought it)
Lighting is awesome and I really think the frostbite engine is top knotch.

UI
Keyboard controls - need way more commands unless im missing them somewhere.  For instance I cant figure out how 
to clear the screen for screen shots.
Controls -  a little hard to get used to but i am learning

Game Play story line

At 1st I was frustrated
But now i'm learning how it all works I am enjoying myself immensely.

On 1 out of 5  one being best I would say my entertainment score would be 1.5.

Excellent storyline, great characters, and story flows well. To be honest I am really surprised by how good this game is.

I tend to be really hard to please and if there is something to nag about I tend to hammer away.
Believe me LOL, trion got my earful on a daily basis in AA. So if I am not bitching that I got fair entertainment value
I will hammer the game everywhere, and make sure some other poor slob gets warned before spending good money on broken stuff.

I am not say others will or wont like Dragon Age but myself I am having a total blast. I am enjoying the storyline way more then I enjoyed
Skyrim. I find it more like game of thrones. Which I LOVE.
