01: This is how it looks when one of developers (thanks Critters, was fun) joins the server and make live event.
02: Binary Division (our PvP clan) at Eloh Vale. That though guy in from is Gangleader Peetrs, my grenadier.
03: Another shot of Eloh Vale.
04: The end of Eloh Vale, where you find last living (otherwise they are there only as holograms) Eloh.
05: Closer shot of Eloh.
06: In Maligo base, Bane are developing wormhole device, which is not good for humans. This is device which is powering it.
07: Same as 06, just with different character and on lower details.
08: Clone of original Gangsta. This time it is Gangleader with his fire shotgun standing in from of probably hardest Eloh temple.
09: This is my highest level character. Lasicka Peetrs, she's Spy and as you can see, here she is polymorphed to Thrax Technician (which is only way how to disguise yourself). Standing at really nasty location ... Khulago Base, as you can see there are lot of normal mobs and quite lot of Juggernauts (that big robots), which can kill her in no time.
10: Yes, again Lasicka. My indian backstabbing spy (she's Thrax hybrid, that's why she's so ugly in face and has red color ;)).
11: Lasicka at some Control Point just after we conquered it. You know, 2 spies and sniper is fast-killing team.
12: Gangleader near lava falls in Incline (2nd planet of Tabula Rasa).
13: Gangleader need rest too. This time again on Incline and as you can see, Gangleader was originally fakeer.
14: Sharpshooter Peetrs, my sniper (yes, I clone Lasicka at level 29 so I don't need to level up sniper from scratch). With her sonic torqshell rifle (aka sniper rifle).
15: Another shot of Sharpshooter, this time with Choses' medic (he's half forean).
16: Another shot from Maligo base, this is that wormhole device Bane are contructing. Have to say I never finished this instance, you need to destroy this, but I can't make it in time limit :/

As I promised, here are some pictures from my new gaming rig. Not that I bought another month of DDO, but I just had Welcome back weekend, so at least I had opportunity to meet old friends and chek out new location of Mod 6.

01: Perhaps my most favorite character. Elven ninja. Aka Yuriko, lvl 15 pure elven rogue. With her fancy (and really deadly) weapons. +4 Acid Rapier of Maiming in main hand and Treason in off hand.
02: Nice loot generator bug. It's not possible in DnD to have two +1 enchaments on one item, it has to be +1 or +2, but for sure not twice +1 ;)
03: Ok, this is from old PC, tho even proud adventureres need some rest. Here is Yuriko resting after she did her best at her sneaky-stabby job. And some guy ;)
04: Again old PC. But my other character (2nd favorite) Yondalla, now lvl 15 pure halfling bard (spellsinger specialization). And as you can see, we're just hanging out waiting for cleric to reconnect back to game.
05: My last creation. Bending Unit (yes! Bender himself). Level 8 Warforged Barbarian. In other words, walking pile of muscles. He was usualy "working" with Strenght 30 and Constitution 30 (yes, he's lvl 8, but he's no butter). I have to say I really enjoyed how he wrecked and punished all who upset him. This time in his gay docent (i found better one later, but have no pic).
06: Same as 5, just different camera angle.
07: Here we go. Finally after 2 years after release, this location was opened in Mod 6. It's called The Twelve and it should be some king of wizard academy. Looks like that.
08: Inside main building at The Twelve. Another shot of Yuri.
09: Yondalla at harbor during night. Check out the water, looks soooo cool.
10: Yondalla near light house at harbor.
11: Another pic of water.
12: Yuriko just after she entered The Shroud, demon infested land which you can enter from The Twelve. I have to say none of my characters can stay there alive (i.e. is able to kill even single mob) alone.
13: Something terribly wrong happened above Marketplace tent.
14: Same as 13. just shot of tent itself. Behind that barrier you could see demons. Have to say that there was event when this tent got blown up.
15 - 24: Some pictures taken from The Shroud. Thanks to my friend Rayanna (dreadful sorceress) to help me with taking these shots, with her it was piece of cake to explore that land. She did aggro-magnet for me and I did what i usualy do ... kicked some demon butt! On pic 23, you can see us in action. Raya casted Wall of Fire which upset all those demonic trogs there and I just backstabbed them to death.

Last weekend on Saturday I visited DnB action in Ceske Budejovice (yes, am telling you truth, it really was there!). It took place in KD Vltava and we felt bit like we went 20 years back to past. The place looked same as it looked 15 years ago (perhaps even in time where it was build). Just the music changed.
Anyway, main DJ of the evening was Aphrodite and I have to say he was really good (was 1st time I heard his live set), I didn't expect anything special, so I was surprised how good set he played. Friend of mine (Mr. Walrus) said after 1st hour of set that Aphrodite suddenly changed his mind on style of music he'll be playing tonight and he want to scorch us with those nasty heavy beats. I had no other choice then agree with him, because it was 100% pure truth.
Ok, that was for main star. Other local producers were just a band of wankers. Playing some really ugly ragga-jungla bullshit, also they had MC who gave whole new meaning to words "worst MC ever".

I tried. And the result is that sushi, tho procedure is simple, not really simple food to make. Well ok, there are steps I understand and i did them (imo) at right time and in right way.
So far I found 2 major problems. Ok, one is not that big, but the other one is cornerstone of making sushi. The big one is to prepare sushi rice, this will need a lot of practice, yesterday it looked more as rice paste ;) Another problen, this is possibly dependant on rice queality, is to roll that damn thing. From 2 pieces I made, neither was good. There was too much of ricein 1st one and not that much, but still much more then necessary in 2nd one.
So the conclusion is: I'm not going to buy a fresh fish until I'll learn how to do the thing. I mean, it doesn't need to be perfect (like on pictures), but for sure, it should look at least distantly as sushi ;)
Also have to mention, that quality of wasabi I have is good. It's flippin strong.

I wasn't able to resist my urge to eat some sushi today. So my choice was Miyabi restaurant. I ordered one set of tekkamaki sushi (sushi with tuna fish) directly from their web. Guess what. It's yummy, very very yummy. For the price you get box with complete sushi (sushi, wasabi and ginger) + sticks (one-use package) and plastic fish filled with soya sauce. I was also pleased with quality of service, they send me SMS that my order is prepared to pickup, nice.
Am just thinking what will be my next choice. I think it's time to really try my skills with sticks and next time it will be ohiru obento (complete japanese lunch menu).
Anyway, this was final impusle to try to make sushi myself. Ok, it won't be tekkamaki or sakemaki sushi (2 my favorites with tuna or salmon), but even plain vegetarian sushi with some cucumber (or something else) will be ok as 1st try and at least I'll get chance to try the procedure.

There it is. I had visioconference (for those who don't knoc whats visioconference, well, it's videoconference, powered by frogs) with The-one-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken. IT was me, my boss and him on side of czech team against 2 IT guys from SK. So teams were uneven, the thingz to disscuss were hardshell whooping brain killing 2 excel sheets, The-one-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken was in good mood.
We started. I did check over situation. Conclusion: 2nd SK IT guy was (same as me) just crowd. After 15 minutes, 1st excel sheet was discarded, because there was missing one column (for TOWNSNBS very important one, because otherwise he doesn't know anything about this topic). Woot, 1-0 for CZ! Yay! 2nd excel sheet, teams are ready, sheets filled, printed and covered in frog goo. The discussin started, i've noticed, that 2nd SK IT guy is bit bored and he looked like he has plenty otherwork to do instead of this bullshit. I began to fall asleep. That wil be hard. Starving. Sleep. Starving. Doh, i have to say one sentence. Sleep. Starving. Sleep. 1 hour passed. Sleep. Sleep. 15 minutes passed. Starving. Suddenly someone said it's over. FOOOOOD!
NO MORE MEETINGS WITH THIS BASTARD. He can talk about golden fart for infinite period of time and still no serious information will come out.
