Title says it all... I'm... fanboyish about this book now... DAMN IT ALL! I WANT MORE!
*slams twilight down* Book one done.. .i have completed every task brought to me, i just need to survive a few more hours..and I have succeeded. YOU HEAR THAT ALL WHO MOCK ME! HA! IN YO FACEZ!!!!
That said. To those reading this blog, I'd like to take the moment to thank you. Now please view my new site for Knight of Time.
Now.... Oh lord this was a well written book. Too good for it's clear target demographic of teenage Estrogen tanks... The description of things was through where it was needed and not so much when it wasn't, and when the action started to go, My adrenaline pulled me through to finish. This is a good story... and now i'm compeled to see it through...
DAMN THE LUCK....

...There will be blood...
I'm going to level with everyone actually reading my posts. If you are reading this, here's a cookie....
I promised to not play a single game from Monday to Monday. As far as I am concerned, I have followed that to the letter. I have stared, drooled, and even begged to game. I have been 5 days sober. And i bet some of you won't believe me... or don't care...
Well, if you glance at my Xbox Gamertag...it says I played Madden today. This isn't true. My brother used my account because he assumed mine was the only one that could connect to the rosters... In short...
My brother is a retard...
Believe me or not, I have not gamed. However, my already flaky attempts to prove it have been tainted in this regard.
I'd thought you all should know...

Stuffed....
With Stuffing. Right now i'm preforming several rituals to cleans the unholy shit that is Walmart. Whole family went, and there is only one item that even has me remotely interested (Being Rock Band AC/DC....cause i like AC/DC...).
Food was great this year, probably the first year that I thought turkey beat ham in the meat department (which is rare for me... I am a Gamer first, a Ham enthusiast second.). Have been working on my comic site with a new format. No real design yet, but it's a overhaul that has been neccessary for months..if not years....
Http://www.divinefolklore.com/kot
The art gets better......I swear.
Speaking of games...Here's the stats
Board game with sister: Done
Football Game: Done, Titans spanked the Lions 47 to 10. Was an awesome 'fumble/interception' That the Lions did when they got their touch down, but at that point... Titans were just showing off.
Twilight Progress: Haven't read past 134. Still got the rest of the week....
Time: 90 hours, 7 minutes. I want to game....

Now comes the real test.... 3 days in the shoot, half way there.... Over 4/5ths a book left and one football game I get to sit through.

Day 3
59 hours 30 Minutes...
Not much to report, cleaned my room and the downstairs in preparations of Turkey day enjoyment. Decided that Cell shading would be better for my comic as it would help things get moving easyer, and that my soft shading isn't on par with anything I'd like....
Hopefully I can get some stuff done before work...
http://raptor3k.devientart.com For more of my stuff.... I'm going to accept commissions!!

I suck at Negotiation
Title say sit all. I've duped myself into a situation I can not gracefully walk from, or gracefully walk through. There are consequences to my actions and At some degree I will deal one or the other.
I could walk away, and forfeit. That means i'm out 30 bucks, my pride, and I get the feeling of being reminded that I failed miserably.
I could keep going, win my keep... but then this week will suck even more.
Addiction...Guess I have had one to games for a while now... Maybe Cold turkey isn't the best solution, but at the moment, I have no choice.
So half of you actually reading are probably confused as all hell, this is more of a means for me to lash out, get out my feelings. Day two draws to a close, I've finished 2 projects on my two do list, and am making some headway on my book. Just got to find a board game and dupe my sister into joining.. then survive a full football game.
In short, I leave with these words...it's been 47 hours, 13 minutes. Two down, 5 to go. And I will Win.

UGH!!!
WHY DID I EVEN GO DOWN THERE!?
Brother is playing Gears of War 2 on the big screen.....bloody hell.... it's gorgeous...
I left before I could get corrupted further....
Twilight status: 110 of 498 Pages read
Mood: ...Interested...

This is who I work with...
On my (somewhat down) site, Divine Folklore, I hired a friend to 'assist' me in building and running the site. She came up with the script for this, which further proves how nutty she is...
Really...nutty.
40 hours, 28 minutes 45 seconds...... and I want to game damnit....

Day 2...
Ok, it's 32 hours and 30 minutes now. Game free. About now I should start feeling withdraws, Especially after nearly screwing myself over DOOM yesterday.... But there is one thing that stops me...
It's my day off.
My first day off in 2 months. To which if I'm called in...as far as anyone is concerned, I'm sick and dying...... Dead dying >.>. Meantime working on a filler comic for my site, which will get posted here as well.
Progress:
Page 68 of 498 in Twilight.
Feelings: Interested...

It is agreed.
I have accepted the agreement, and starting on the 24th, I will be gameless for a week. With that in mind, my options slightly changed. I now have the oppertunity to pick which book to read (though i have yet to decide).
During the week, I will update the blog with my progress, drawings, and comic blog with friends. It should be fun.
That said, here is an example of a speed painting i started for fun last night.
Anyway... that's it so far. See ya later.

The Challenge
Hello. My name is Erik, but online I go by Raptor3k, or Raptor for short. I am a Gamer.
To be clear of my level of obsession, I have a wii, a 360, a Playstation 3, a Nintendo 64 in a closet, and a very reasonably powered PC. (AMD Athlon 64 x2, 5000+, 4 gigs Ram, 8800 GT 512Mb, XP 64bit.) I currently play Rock Band at any time that I can find aviable, then spend time on homework and comic if possible.
At times, I could be playing two games at once (Not the most successfully mind you, but I try stupidly). ALl this in mind, my co-workers have challenged me.
"I bet you couldn't go a week without a video game."
I asked how much.
And that is how it started. I have placed my faith and my wallet in the hands of two of my co-workers, who are obligated to give me the ultimate non-gaming week, Week of Hell if you will. The date set for this is the week of Thanksgiving, where I do not have school as a complete distraction.
Not only have I a week to suffer, but I also have tasks to follow:
Completely read The Stand by Stephen King.
One board game with my sister and/or Mother. (*Cringe*)
Watch the entirety of a football game set in this week.
Blog about it as often as I can.
Comic blog, which I plan to attempt daily.
The details are still being sorted out, especially on how to tell if I have gamed or not, while I have assured them that I will pay up the moment I press start. So far they don't believe me...
Nor does my friends....
Nor does my mom....
So this is it, I'm out to prove ALL of you wrong. I will go a whole week without Games! ...And if i go nuts in the process, then all my viewers will have something interesting to read. If anyone has suggestions on how I can prove that I'm not gaming that week, please comment.
