A Massively OP Kickstarter? You don’t say…

It’s no secret that today Massively Overpowered ( a group I am honored to be a part of) has launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring back all the news-sharing, editorializing, screenshot one-shotting, and opinionating that was our favorite MMORPG blog. Apparently the cosmos already knew our plans!

It’s with more than a little irony that today’s horoscope reads:

“Ready or not, start investing your effort in the direction of your big goal.”

Yessir, Mr. Cosmos, Sir!

The fact that the goal is closing in on 50% funding in just hours is just a mind-blowing topic for another post!

Just say no to shinies? NEVAH!

Obviously my recent horoscope proves it doesn’t have any clue who it is dealing with.

“Temptations abound, but you know a trap when you see one. Maybe you’ll get away with the prize, but is it worth the risk?”

Heck YA! It is always worth the risk for a shiny. Death, repair bills — none of that matters as long as you get that beautiful little shiny in your hands. But wait, the horoscope didn’t even stop there! The next line:

“‘Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare’ — John Dryden”

As if. As if! Better luck next time, Mr. Horoscope.

The cosmos must play ArcheAge

Sometimes you have to wonder if these people can peek into your life (or at least your computer). Here’s today’s horoscope:

Patience isn’t only a virtue; it’s also a winning tactic.

Farming, sailing, running trade routes in hostile territories… yup, patience is definitely a thing in ArcheAge. The more patient you are, the better the payoff. And the more likely you will survive to see said payoff!

If nothing else, I think it proves the cosmos plays ArcheAge, too.

By jove I think they’ve got it! Does this recent horoscope know me or what?

Temptations abound, but you know a trap when you see one. Maybe you’ll get away with the prize, but is it worth the risk?

Heck yah! A shiny is TOTALLY worth the risk! As if there was ever any doubt…

You have been warned!

Beware! Today’s horoscope offered an important caution:

You should be warned, though, that you’re more memorable and entertaining than you think.

Should I be worried? Honestly, I can see that as a good thing… except when being IDed for a bank heist!

Ain’t that the truth!

My recent horoscope advised me:

Don’t play to win; play to have fun.

Preach on! It’s like they know me or something! Either that or they have been watching my Drunder streams…

Truth?

My horoscope recently said:

“In a key way, you are different from the other people in the room.”

I looked up — I was alone.
