Beta-Blocking with D2

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
This idea for a Comedy Video Game could become an instant viral hit.

WIPE OUT TRUMPISM!

Yes, you can totally and completely wipe out any vestige of the existence of Trump simply by using Diablo 2 as a meditative field of concentration, mindfulness and effective iron-age combat skills plus a seriously developed sense of winning battle strategies.

I view D2 not only as a learning field and skill developing area but also a way of immersing yourself in another completely different world, a world in which Trump and Trumpians simply don’t exist, and if they did, they wouldn’t last long among the other dungeon monsters.

I make money from Trump. He feeds my comedy needs and keeps my blogs interesting, just because the guy is dangerous enough to get your full attention, like someone with their hands around your most delicate body-parts.

Let’s be perfectly clear here — I am not a “nevertrumper” — never heard of Trump before he was elected — nor am I a Trump-Hater, although it’s hard not to be, due to his incessant need to have his branded name in the news cycle every single day.

It’s reminiscent of the constant blaring of loudspeakers in countries which have fallen to dictators, talking constantly about their “Beloved Great Leader”, usually just another dumb shmuck with a talent for mass murder and some friends in high places, generally along the lines of some religious fanatics who feel the need to control everyone and make them all either be exactly like them, or push up daisies.

Generally, as is the case with wise-ass standup comics like myself, the case for daisies is easy to make. I have to have SOME frigging escape from the Mad King of Amerika, and D2 is my first choice.

I am highly skilled at very deep levels of meditation and mentation, but nothing works against Trump, Trumpies and Trumpism as well as Diablo 2.

Keep in mind that you’re battling the forces of Hell and that the demons are out there, more or less the entire GOP, and they’re busily swarming and devouring the wheat all over the world, and there are zombies and hate-filled vermin everywhere, and all you’ve got to stop them when you first get into the world of Diablo 2 is the equivalent of a fist-axe or a blunt instrument resembling a lead pipe.

Learning to Teleport

Alien nude from my unpublished book, “Alien Portraits”

Often I’ll come up with an art series that has been inspired by Diablo 2, and the “Alien Portraits” portfolio is one of those ideas that never reached the public, but is sitting there, ready and waiting, for a publishing opportunity.

Sometimes it takes a while to get out there with a good idea. Meanwhile, I’ll be working on teleporting tonight.

It’s not that I forgot how to teleport or something — I’m trying to come up with a set of TRAINING DRILLS that will work here, and I think I have a few ideas that you’ll find very easy to implement, very effective to use and have a definite spillover effect in your daily life, which is all to the good.

See, the idea behind the TELE is the SWAY.

The idea is generally to use a series of gaming drills that help you find your “TELE-LEGS” — that’s professional “teleport talk” for achieving that gaming sway and swerve that makes you stand out as an excellent player.

But you want to develop your skills without pain and without injury, so you work within a situation where things are such that you don’t get swatted like a fly while trying to learn the aforementioned skills.

And what skills are they?

They are primarily skills of relaxing and moving without involvement in conflict, and that means skirting great mounds of howling enraged mobs of vicious unregistered and unlisted creatures ravenously biting at you from every direction.

Avoiding the Christmas Rush, you TELE in and TELE out.

Speaking of Christmas, we can use the BARDO SAFARI operations as a way of putting the “X” back in “Xmas”.

It’s all about the SWAY, and that comes with PRACTICE, and there isn’t any other way to get it — there is no mental substitute for PRACTICE.

Best way to get some practice in the TELE would be to find a gaming space that matches the general conditions of what it will be like in the area to which you think you might be teleporting, and duplicate that space, but do it in a quiet zone, no enemies about.

The very first thing you want to do is to TELE — teleport — where NOTHING can possibly happen to you, there are no enemies alive, and where there are no surprises. Continue reading →

Beta Blocker Meditations

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Meditation can be achieved in a variety of interesting ways.

Diablo 2 is not the only way to set up a Beta-Brain Block. Just in arm’s reach, you’ll find a variety of other “weapons” in the War Against Sleep, notably meditation, but there’s a catch — which meditation are we talking about?

Just like aliens, there’s not just one single breed, no single source of origin, panspermia — the idea that ALL life originated in one single spot and spread throughout the galaxy.

Sure, it could happen in some galaxies, but not all, but forget about galaxies for the moment — let’s talk about YOU.

Meditation has many faces, many forms, but let’s just take a glance at one of them for the moment — Relaxation Meditation, meditation that you do in order to rest and relax without going napping.

In general, we don’t associate snoring with meditation.

Defending Yourself Against Trump

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am a very outspoken critic of Trump, yet he cannot silence me. I have taken steps to prevent it, and the more he tries to silence me, the louder my voice will become.

There’s no better way to publicize a book than to have it be a White House Hate Object.

This is a very different world from the one in which you were born, the ones in which you traveled through a variety of experiences, all leading to HERE and NOW.

In this very different world, a would-be world dictator is attempting to overthrow our government.

It’s still legal at the time of this writing to criticize Trump, but that won’t be the case if he gets his way in court and on the political battlefield — the Senate.

The HOUSE is just a bunch of poor Democratic idealists, and they don’t count for anything, unless impeachment is in the offing.

There used to be a time when both parties were united on one issue —  limit the power of the President.

That’s not what’s happening now. They’re defending Trump. He’s attacking US, and they’re defending HIM.

Republicans are not Republicans anymore. They’re stacking the deck with Jerrymandering so that YOUR vote doesn’t count, CAN’T count, because of the “RED” loaded district in which you voted.

Trump has sold us out to the Russians. Putin promised him that he could still stay in power after the takeover and dismissal of Congress forever.

This all happens, unless YOU motivate yourself to VOTE the bastards out of office, and then get busy helping EVERYONE defend the Constitution.

But while we’re waiting for the inevitable end of all dictators, how can you defend yourself and your family and home from Trump? Continue reading →

Block That Bitch!

Trump spent HOURS in front of the mirror, practicing this Hitlerian grimace.

Have you totally had it with organic world reality? Tired of the Hell World and Brute World invading your territory and keeping you awake nights waiting for the nuclear flash? Has it come to this, that your afternoon nap is the best part of the day?

When you find a hair in your fruitcake, you’ve found the best part of that fruitcake, and that goes double for Trump, Trump’s Minions and Trump’s World of Hate and Fear.

How would you like to escape from Planet Trump?

I have the answer, and it’s so easy to do.

All you need is a distraction that is compelling enough to draw your attention away from the news media screen for a few hours of relief, and I have just the distractions for you! Continue reading →

Why I Re-Created Gorebagg in Diablo 2 Today

Kurt Russell signed this photo, one of several dozen cast-signed shots from the production, including original script.
Kurt Russell signed this photo, one of several dozen cast-signed shots from the production, including a signed original script. I’m trying to get Kurt or James Hong to sign one for Amy — it’s her favorite film!

Teena, if you read this, please ask Jim to sign & send photo, thx.

Yep, I did it; I went into ALL my Diablo II accounts and refreshed them, upgraded characters, settled the contents of backpacks and stashboxes, and in some cases took the character up a level or three, to make sure I wasn’t booted out for switching games too fast, although that did happen a few times in spite of my care.

In all, I’ve rescued about a hundred D2 characters, representing some $2,000 in value of what they carry, and another several thousand hours of gameplay over the past decade or more to bring them to that level.

So, they’re all fine, all doing well, none of them lost, none at all, including my level 77 HARDCORE chars in the EUROPEAN server and another 50 HardCore chars on the EASTERN server and still more, about fifty, in the WEST server, so I’m ready when you are to do Bardo Safaris in D2, and to hand out tons of great drops to those who join safaris.

GoreBagg 99 is Back in Town

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,

gorebaggnew99

My deleted level 99, GoreBagg, is back in business, currently sitting at level 91, after a strong opening two weeks ago. Taking my time leveling, I’m also doing a lot of magic find for the folks coming up the line. We’re running lots of D2 safaris now that it’s very clear that we won’t be using D3 anytime soon. Had we known that Blizzard intended to scrub out any vestige of what made D2 charming, we’d have saved ourselves the trouble of the download and install, but we gave D3 a very fair chance — it was Blizzard that wanted to kill the game, and they managed to succeed eminently well. D3 is dead, long live D2.

See You At The Top!!!
