29th July 2010 - Coming Home / Making Money Though Online Gaming / Flo's Boat Party

Struggling Through Reality


Today I was woken up at my sisters house by my nephews and brother in law. I have been down in London the past week visiting my family and friends. It was what I needed. A part of me wants to move back to my hometown Harrow in London. I miss things like the London tube, seeing my old friends at the student bar The Junction and just being in a familiar place. I would miss Blackpool though. I don't think the security companies have as much of a laugh as the guys from Northern Security and I don't want to go back to a job like stacking shelves. I enjoy being a bouncer but I don't think I would down south. Also, in London sure I have a few friends still there but I have loads in Blackpool and we are always having nights out in the town. Plus prices up here are nothing compared to London. 


I was so tired and had to travel to Victoria coach station to catch my bus to take me home. Thankfully its a good thing I was so tired. I fell asleep on the coach and woke up at Preston which is basically down the road from Blackpool so it kind of cut out the boring seven hour ride. When I woke up, Northern Security phoned me with some good news. My boss has found me a better door to work (More hours) which pays a lot more. Now I can save my money for even bigger pointless things!


I got home and found myself having to climb through the toilet window as all of my housemates were out and I had forgotten my key. I had to say to my next door neighbor "Look im not a criminal im just locked out of the house. After squeezing through the tiny window I could hear her in the garden laughing. My bedroom was an absolute mess so I decided to tidy it up for a little while, looks much better now. Back to watching American Dad and blogging about online games!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Making Money Through Online Gaming


The title of this sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Well ok its not exactly easy but if your a smart person and a good online gamer, it can become a reality with an online game Entropia Universe.


After running out of ammo from defeating the bog monster, Delluzeonist
decided it would be better to just piss in the bushes from now on

Now, in Entropia you real life bank account is linked to the game. So you can click to deposit some money and then click to withdraw money back into your real life account. People decide to play the game in search for a way to quit their weekday jobs and it can be done but the problem with this game is that you need to spend money to make money and you wont make any money until much later in the future.

When I signed up, I deposited $20 which gave me 200 PED (PED is the in game currency) and I was able to buy a car, a basic weapon and some decent armor. I soon found out though that by killing monsters you end up in the negative. Each weapon burns ammo. For example my weapon does 7 damage but burns 200 ammo. So it costs me about 2200 ammo to kill one monster. It costs 1 PED to buy 10000 ammo and you dont make that one PED back by killing four or five monsters. On top of that, you have to pay for your weapon to be repaired after a while.

When Delluzeonist found out that the price of petrol meant that he would have to
sell his house to fill up his car, he decided the best way to get fuel would be
to syphon it from other vehicles. Luckily no one wants to mess with a guy
syphoning fuel holding a gun and dressed in armor.

There is a silver lining though. I have seen a gun on the auction house for 100 PED which does 26 Damage and only burns 400 Ammo. This means that I will be able to kill a lot more monsters with less ammo and hopefully be able to break even at least on the repair and ammo costs. The only problem is, that it meens I have to deposit another $10 which I cant do for another three weeks due to problems with my bank unrelated to the game.


Now, some people do not want to deposit money into the game and there are ways to make money from scratch. The most well known being sweating.


Delluzeonist: OI! Prick! Give me all teh PED in the register!
Shop Owner: Delluzeonist, thats not a gun, its a tool for harvesting
sweat from monsters.....
Delluzeonist: ...... FINE! Gimme all of teh sweat on your body!


Sweating takes ages to make any money and you die over and over again. You have to walk up to a monster shoving what looks like a gun in its face and keep pulling the trigger until eventually you gather some sweat from it. It will take you a few hours before you gather enough sweat to sell to another player for about 3 PED which buys you...... FUCK ALL!


If you want to have fun in this game and have a chance of making money from doing something entertaining like killing stuff, then you have no choice but to deposit at least $30 to start you off which will give you 300 PED. Here is the things you will need to buy.....


> A vehicle - Valkery MK1's sell for about 140 PED on the auction house
> A Rifle - CB13 / CB19 Assault rifles would be your best bet they sell for about 100 PED each
> A Scope - Buy the lowest price one on the auction house. They sell for about 20 - 30 PED
> A suit of basic armor - You can buy the armor from a market terminal
> 20000 ammo to get you started - You can buy it from a market terminal for 2 PED


With these items you can head to the swamp camp and kill creatures just west of the base next to the lake. Hopefully you will break even on the repair and ammo costs of your gun.... maybe make a little more...... hopefully.


Even if all you do is break even with the money you make, it is still a very fun game to play. It has decent graphics, good gameplay and a massive community. it can also be played in first or third person modes but you only get a cross hair and can only use the scope in first person mode. I really wouldn't bother sweating. it isn't a good enough source of income in game.

My Twinity Life


I went on Twinity tonight for the first time in ages. I had a look at where everyone was and wasnt surprised to find that Flo was holding another house party and pretty much everyone in Twinity was there. So I went photo nuts!


Looks like the clone out of Hitman before he put on some muscle

Whenever you enter Flo's place, you gotta prepare yourself for the fact that
he is usually at least half naked

Its always a good atmosphere at Flo's Boat. I would say its one of the most
popular places in Twinity

"If a girl isnt half naked make sure shes wearing some sort of see through material!"
- Twinity Design Staff

A party just isnt a party until Delluzeonist gets naked!

Well anyway Flo's boat was a good laugh but I thought I better take some pictures of the ongoing events. I got a message from my friend Carolyn telling me that there was a party in London park. I could only take a couple of decent pictures. A lot of people were away from the keyboard or they kept speaking (I hate speech bubbles in my pictures) However Carolyn said that it was a good thing I managed to get a few as it was going to be her last event in London as she was going to virtually move to Miami basically. Heh.

Parachuting in falling through the air hitting a sheep with an inflatable shark before
dropping to the stage and bursting into a air guitar solo, its DELLUZEONIST!
You don't get more awesome than that.



This is the only photo I got of these guys where is didn't look like the guy in the
blue had his hand up the other guys arse.

I wanted to go to the quiz tonight that was supposed to be another boys vs girls thing but I turned up to find that not only was it just a normal quiz, but the quiz bot had broken. So I left and decided to use the fly command to explore the outside areas of some of the apartments.


My boat is bigger Flo :P

I think this town is supposed to be amsterdam or something. I really hope that
Twinity make this into a proper area the rivers look awesome.

16th July 2010 - Bouncing Around / Short Twinity photoshoot

Struggling Through Reality


Today I decided to shave off my beard and get a shorter hair cut for work. I realized I need to look a lot smarter being a bouncer. Especially working a posh area like Polton. All of my female friends around my age said I looked a lot better with a beard and long shaggy hair but im trying to impress my boss who is neither young or female unfortunately. 


I met up with my ex girlfriend around 4:00pm to give her what was left of her stuff round mine. Was kind of hard meeting up with her and not being with her. I get attached to girls kinda quickly when I go out with them. It was nice to just hang out with her though. It was nice of her to come all the way to mine and actually spend time hanging out with me. I really need a girlfriend. I miss having someone to cuddle and just hang out with. 


Anyway, I got to work early as my boss could only give me a lift at 8:00pm when I had to be in at work at 9:00pm. I didnt mind though, I like working the Matrix bar, all the staff are really friendly and I get all the free coke I can drink. Yes thats drink, not sniff up my nose coke.


Look how mean I look working the door!

It was a fairly eventful night. There was a group of kids trying to start a fight with some customers and when the customers retaliated the kids called their steroid fed dads so there was a bit of pushing and shoving for a while. I got a girls number who actually tried sending me a message on Match.com but I wasn't prepared to spend £20 just so I could read messages and I got to laugh at a guy trying to take a girl home with him then realizing she was completely wasted.

After work, my Boss and the owner of the security company came to pick me up and took me to another club where I got a free drink and allowed access to the leftovers of a buffet! Bliss! It saved me some money on getting a take away after work. I was starving. I don't get it though, a girl had an 18th birthday party with a huge buffet full of some of the most expensive foods Blackpool had to offer and her and her mates left almost all of it! No worry a lot of it was devoured by some hungry bouncers and their boss.

On the way home we dropped off the owner of the company first. His house was amazing. Life is good for some people. Maybe one day I will live in a big house with loads of land....... yeah when pigs fucking fly!

My Twinity Life

I didn't get much time in Twinity today. When I got home from work I did manage to log in for a little while to attend the party at The Counts Club. There was plenty of dancing and even a pole show from one of the girls but everyone was quiet...... too quiet. Not much talking was happening in the room but then again it meant I got to take some awesome pictures! :D

Pale creatures of the night enjoy a dance from time to time

Is she creeped out by the dancing or just enjoying the show?

DJ Delluzeonist....... he's fucking shit!

Now thats what im talking about! It doesn't matter where you
are in Twinity, there is a girl pole dancing.

See above comment XD

15th July 2010 - What to buy what to buy? / Girls vs Boys quiz

Struggling Through Reality


Today I had lots of free time. I was supposed to meet up with my ex girlfriend to give her some of her stuff back but she was busy today. I was sitting on my laptop with fuck all to do until I mentioned to my landlord Tom (who I live with) that I was bored and he invited me to go check out some bikes with him and his dad seeing as im thinking of getting one.


We got to the bike shop and I saw two really nice ones. One was an actual 125cc bike and the other was a really nice looking 125cc moped. Both would cost £1500 including a helmet. So I just need a decision but im going to shop around first and see if I cant see anything cheaper. To be honest there was a bike I really wanted. It was a japanese styled racing bike but was only 125cc so it costs nothing to run and you can drive it with a CBT license. Only problem was that the bike cost £4000. 


Me and Tom got home and waited for Steve to get in from work before going to the pub for dinner. I didn't have any food in and I really couldn't be bothered going shopping today. I left the pub pretty early though. After I had my food, I felt kinda bloated so came home for a lie down and ended up sleeping for a couple of hours.

My Twinity Life


A quiz was being held today between boys and girls. I turned up for a laugh as I wanted to take some pictures of what I thought was going to be an interesting event. It turned out to be quite dull. In the end the teams turned out to be me versus about ten girls. One of the girls (Carolyn) was inhuman. By the time I finished reading the question she had already answered it. Was very frustrating. The fact that I was slightly tipsy didnt help much either. But as you can see from my pictures, I made a valiant effort to bring home the trophy for the lads.


NELSON MANDELA!

Ok, at some point I must get a answer right if I keep screaming it

Anyway, after the quiz (well more like half way through as I got fed up with Mrs perfect answering questions in milliseconds) I went over to Louis and Darks Nightclub where there was a "party" going on. Ok when you hold a party why does everyone just stand around looking miserable? I felt like screaming "DANCE MINIONS! DANCE!" Ok maybe I did scream it a few times......
Nah in all honesty is was a lot more fun than the quiz. Me and Janet had a good laugh exploring the area of the garden full of uploaded items that were too big to be Twinity furniture. It was like being lost in wonderland with my Twinity character.


She got away with not having "DANCE MINIONS! DANCE! screamed at
her thanks to her cute smile

Its not a party until a half naked girl turns up!

I wonder what the guy in the background staring into the distance
is thinking about.....

Its not a party until Delluzeonists awesome dancing creates smoke!

Janet and Delluzeonist lost in wonderland

14th July 2010 - No word about work / Party at Jo's Cool Breeze

Struggling Through Reality


Still no word from Northern Security about work this weekend. They keep putting me on the door in Polton which means I keep having to get lifts to and from work. I wish they would put me on a door closer to home. I really miss working the prom in Blackpool. All the girls in their skimpy costumes and the awesome party atmosphere. In Polton im stuck dealing with underage kids and posh fuckers. I actually had a girl the other week telling me to open the fucking door for her. 


Anyway again, I was bored all day. There is fuck all to do. I was going to go out on my bike and try to lose some weight but the heavens opened and it started pissing it down with rain. So I was stuck inside playing online games again. Although, it did make me realize how badly I need a new laptop. Even Twinity lags slightly and its not like thats a very high spec game. I managed to play Face Of Mankind for a bit in the evening to find out the game is kind of dying. There are hardly any players online anymore and the game has been overtaken by arseholes that don't understand roleplay and just kill new players for no reason because they enjoy annoying people. So I found myself in the virtual world of Twinity again.

My Twinity Life


Well I decided to make an outdoor area for my apartment. Hopefully, I am going to create a way to walk down to the beach without using the bloody fly command. With the help of Bjorn making me custom items for the place it should look really good when its finished. 


Jo messaged me while I was online. She was holding another house party so I went to visit her. She's created a massive outdoor area. Its so big that you cant see the end of the garden from the entrance as the graphics wont appear that far away. Quite impressive. The party was good although we had a problem getting the music to play for a while. 






After the party I went back to my place and did as much decorating to my outside area as possible. I couldn't do a lot, I ran out of 400cm frames and didn't really want to spend too much on globals in one day.
