Into The Stars: Syrana Ventures Into EVE Online
by Syrana on Feb.01, 2010, under EVE Online, Gaming
The world isn’t big enough to contain me. I must seek domination far and wide. Space is a good place to seek ultimate domination. Not just world domination – but universal domination! Wait, even bigger than that!
Although, a noob like me in the vast and complex outerworld that is EVE Online probably won’t see any domination… yet. (Never underestimate a warlock.)
Ok, so, there aren’t warlocks in EVE. But! I am IMMORTAL! Mwuahahaha! (See, it pays to live off the souls of lesser opponents.)
Let me start at the beginning-ish. (continue reading…)
Cult of Personality
by Syrana on Dec.03, 2009, under Gaming, General, World of Warcraft
The other day I was going through my feed reader and was intrigued by this post at DoTs & HoTs. This then led me to a post over at Tree of Life about blog personalities. Now, I’m a curious sort. I just had to plug the blog into Typealyzer to see what it came up with! After I did that, I needed to find a free online personality test for myself since I don’t remember my high school results.
The Blog
So Typealyzer analyzes words used on the blog to develop a sense of the blog’s personality. Ideally this would be the personality of the blog author, but in some cases is more reflective of the author’s blog persona. From what I could gather, it only analyzed the first page of text. Generally this is a pretty good snapshot of what a blog offers; however, if you’ve recently posted a lot of things outside your normal posts, you might want to hold off until the front page returns to normal (or analyze a couple times to see if the types of posts change the results or not).
Our blog came up as ESTP – The Doers
(from the description at Typealyzer):
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.
I’d definitely agree that the blog is playful and full of humor. I’d also agree that I am often good at starting projects, but not necessarily “finishing” them. As for physical activity and not sitting still – Um, Hello? I play WoW.
The Author Behind The Blog
So what about the real Syrana. Well, I went to Personality Test Center to take a free personality test. I really wish I could remember how I scored 10ish years ago to see if my personality has shifted in my old (haha) age. But, we’ll stick with what we got.
