I wanna meet the wise guy.
You know, the pai·san gettin' cute with the Soup!
Cuz' the CAPTCHA preview characters keep throwin' me insults

and this schmuck starts slappin' insults at me
like: PMSR,
VAGP,
and U 8 ET

Fire School is in session! Aventurine has released a new video that shows off the skills of one aspect of Darkfall Unholy Wars' Elementalist role, and casters and and pyros-at-heart will enjoy a look into the Fire Mage. Feel like swimming through a bubbling lake of lava? Cast a self-buff and dive right in! Like to lob flaming balls at others and watch them catch fire? Then Fire Mage is the class for you!
Like its name implies, this particular mage uses an arsenal of fiery tricks to best opponents. The class focuses on medium- to long-range combat and incorporates knockbacks and area effects into many of the spells. For a demonstration of Dragonbreath, Magma Bomb, Heat Stroke, and other skills, check out the sizzling video after the break.
You should know your role in Darkfall Unholy Wars. After all, your role determines a lot of what you're capable of doing at any given time, so it's pretty important. The newest development blog on the game gives a preview of one of the updated re-release's new roles for the Warrior, the defensive school known as the Battle-Brand. This is not a role for going out and making people miserable; this is a role for ruining the days of those trying to make you miserable.
The Battle-Brand's abilities include two self-buffs to reduce magical damage taken and reflect a portion of damage taken back to the source. It also features Foebringer, an AoE pull for all nearby enemies, and Bandage, a self-healing spell to keep the Warrior up longer. Last but not least is the ultimate ability, Stoic Defense, which makes the Warrior entirely immune to damage for a short time while consuming mana and stamina. Take a look at the role's abilities in action in a preview video just past the cut.
My opponent will destroy democracy
But my opponent will normalize hypocrisy
My opponent pays hush money to whores
Well, my opponent snoozes in meetings and snores
My opponent’s in cahoots with radical progressives
But my opponent’s tax cuts are regressive
My opponent is in bed with Putin
Well, my opponent for Iran is rootin’
My opponent’s spending will stoke inflation
But my opponent’s plans will increase starvation
Enough! Stop! Cut! Halt!
It’s not all the other guy’s fault
All this negativity makes one thing clear
I’m voting for the first candidate I can cheer
Inspired by the Bible Scripture of Habakkuk 2:3
Sneak Preview
So thankful for the gifts from God
They are all my hopes and dreams
Those joyful Sneak Previews
Of what He will someday bring
When I dream big
And keep my hopes high
It is like I did something good
By at least giving it all a try
The journey may be long
And the load is sometimes heavy
Just remember it says in the Bible
The vision will come, it will not tarry
Even though it is at an appointed time
It is surely still coming in brand new
Certainly better than ever before
It is great to see a Sneak Preview
Those sneak previews
Make waiting not seem slow
By enjoying the given thoughts
They come true before you know

Not a single flake of snow has fallen,
Yet the ground is covered with white.
Jack Frost is delivering sparkling rime
On this November moonlit night.
Wind has been welcomed to join in the game.
He is waiting to bite your nose,
And Jack Frost, the rascal,. is capable
Of nipping away at your toes.
You attend their gala at your own risk,
Before Winter comes at full speed.
The party hosted by Jack is a blast,
A welcome to Winter indeed.

I AM NOT A BLASTED VIRUS
I AM HUMAN, POET, ARTIST
And you’re a confounded nuisance…
Picture this—
A world where a simple click
Will send the comment more swiftly
Will log you in faster
No more silly letters in a grid
If only…
Well—I suppose its fine
I’m a complainer, a nuisance, a swine
But hey, fine, I’ll say it:
Thanks, Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans
Apart
It is things like you that will prevent a robotic takeover
POTUS Joe Biden
met Vladimir Kremlin
said, 'Show me your wares if you dare'
Whereupon Vladimir Kremlin
unleashed a gremlin
grinning atop nuclear hardware
Not to be outdone
Joe had a plan
whipped out a fierce water gun
Said, 'Come here, Vlady Kremlin
along with your gremlin

One cold dreary morn,
I observed sun - a pale orb -
peeking out from clouds.
All at once, it shone boldly. . .
my glimpse of bright days to come!

My dear Donald Trump
At your tender age
you shouldn't be bumped
into early retirement, and so
I want you in my new Cabinet, although
to your unique talents the position must fit...
Therefore, after mulling things over a bit
There's an idea that makes perfect sense
A new, complementary position to old 'Defense'
~I hereby appoint you my 'Secretary of Offense'
I peer through mists of coming years,
The present disappears,
The crimson clouds of war blow past—
Utopia—world peace at last.
No famine, plagues or hunger then,
World law among all men,
Complete coerced security,
The subtlest sort of slavery.
I HATE
I hate to say I understand some ones pain knowing I really have no clue.
And I hate trying to give them advice when I know I wouldn't know what to do.
I hate saying its going to be okay when I myself is doubting it in my mind.
And I hate asking millions of questions when I know the answers are hard to find.
I hate to pry into someones personal space even thou I know a hug is needed.
And I hate to fuel the fire of emotions by accident because I don't want to feed it.
I rather not be the one held responsible when someone's world comes tumbling down
And I hate to be the person that catches the after shock but I'll always be around.
I hate to say it doesn't matter when I know deep down inside it really does.
And I hate make people dwell in the past because this is the way it is and that's the way it
was.
I hate to see people sob even thou it doesn't move me enough to make me want to cry.
And I hate to see people who hate life so much that it would make them want to die.
I hate to see that ignorance is still being birth in a country who lives off of being diverse.
And I hate to think that we came along way in these hundreds of years just to disperse.
I hate that it takes drastic measures to bring people together as one.
And I hate that people no longer have the attitude of what's done is done.
I hate that people now have to take things to the next level when it could easily be dropped.
And I hate that if your walking down the street innocently your life could now be stopped.
I hate that kindness is now taken for weakness so people are taking advantage of others.
And I hate when fathers don't take care of their responsibility and the same goes for
mothers.
(In working progress)
In the ancient lands of Egypt, now no longer the upper and the lower kingdoms, but the united New Kingdom established by the new Pharoah Akhnaten, after the passing of his older brother. He began abolishing the gods of Egypt and replaced them with a single god named Aten. He began his rule as the rumored Heretic King. His wife of great beauty was named, Queen Nefertiti, and their firstborn was young Prince Tut.
In the wee hours of the summer solstice, a cry rings out, heard throughout the great sacred palace, alerted servants and the Queen awakes, and they quicken their pace to the room of his royal highness, Prince Tut. Enters the Queen.
Queen Nefertiti: "The dream visits my son?"
Prince Tut: "Yes, mother. You there, summon my father."
A servant hesitates to awaken the Pharoah himself.
Prince Tut: "Mother, need I repeat myself, for she refuses to obey?"
Queen Nefertiti: "Of course not my son, be at peace. You there, what is your name?"
Memneht: "I am the hand-maiden, Memneht, my sacred Queen."
Queen Nefertiti: "Why have you disobeyed my son's command, such will be the pain of death!"
Memneht: "For I have fear of the Pharoah, my Queen."
Queen Nefertiti: "There is enough of fear here, go and do as my son commands!"

Hold your saliva.
The kissing syndrome,
is on prowl.
A threat looms large;
over the face on the face
of most beautiful eyes.
Are you fascinated by the-
picture of shedding the skin ?
The reptile was most venomsus.
Strikes, when you are
sleeping. Floats into your house
when it is dark.
A remake of the horror
of holocaust ? Will it
affect your lips ?

I peer through mists of coming years,
The present disappears,
The crimson clouds of war blow past—
Utopia—world peace at last.
No famine, plagues or hunger then,
World law among all men,
Complete coerced security,
The subtlest sort of slavery.
Passion knows fit,
Ride through the storms;
Expand fine wit,
Voice a new norm;
Invoice your words,
Expect fond pay;
Waves can be heard.
Trust in soul play;
Reach for a pitch,
Insist on this;
Use alters reach,
Meet a sure ease;
Prime a clear say,
Heed path of play.
