Sov's Crazy Ramblings

I was just asked by Lobster((Rethius)(Ret)) where the name sovhed came from… and let me tell you wow thats a story.. I think its a good idea that I tell you just so you arent wondering and I thought that it would make for an interesting, though maybe not funny read.

It all started one day when I got Battlefield 1942. I had been playing alone happily and decided I wanted to do something else, I downloaded Desert Combat.. at that stage it was in early development.. After a while I met someone called *S*G*Something (can’t remember the name now). They invited me to their clan and I thought “oh what the heck”

I joined, the day after the clan fell apart, not due to me or my choice but the clan leader got bored, as most of the small clans do.. I figured… okay whatever..

A few months later and I had Battlefield Vietnam, an awesome game… I was in operation irving and this asshole called “=SoV=DefineDeath” pwned my ass in an f4 Phantom, napalming me to death with my own plane.. We got talking and he invited me to join the clan he was in.. “Shadows of Vengeance” Cool name I thought, so stamped my name and signed, choosing the game name of  ”=SoV=hEaD_bUsTeR”. Lovely eh?

Over the next 2 and a half years I enjoyed =SoV= life, playing in clan matches, working my way slowly to near the top, eventually providing the teamspeak and game servers for the clan at the start of my hosting company. We saw our way through battlefield 2 and won many battles, but eventually when the release of Battlefield 2142 was nigh we decided enough was enough, we didn’t enjoy BF2142 and we could see that we wouldn’t be doing it for fun. We decided to go our own seperate ways with gaming, leaving the =SoV= clan in the dust of the past, a great era of gaming laid to rest.. a sad day.

Well as you can see, my name is from here, it changed slowly over time, evolved even. I started as “sovHead” in planeshift, then “SovHed” in numerous free games, then eventually WoW, leading us to the present day where my name is SovHed still… I may go by Ephirus on WoW but there is still SovHed inside me.

I purchased this domain about 3 years ago when I first took up the name SovHed and its stuck ever since.

Anyway that is the story of all about how my life got quick turned upside down and i just took a minute to sit right here, and tell you how I became the prince of …wait a minute…

Well for 2 reasons, 3 reasons I am writing this.

Firstly, because Kelate is back and its good to have her.

Secondly, she said not to talk about her in my blogs, she is just awesome how can I not? Seriously…

And Thirdly, my idea of rejoining planeshift was smashed today and yesterday by the refusal of my next generation PC to bow down and be slowly digested by Planeshift’s poor technical design and engine flaws. I have also decided not to go ahead with the idea of restarting the planeshift guild for a number of reasons: I can’t get the game to stay on for more than 10 minutes without it Bluescreening on me, I don’t have enough time to play the 2 MMOs and that thing called “Lief” all in one lifetime, sadly. Thats it actually, I will however try and help out with the planeshift project some more, my servers will stay up and I will keep trying to get another server accepted, Though that seems doubtful

Anyway, It is late again and I should be in bed, sadly my clock is all scrwed up and I am really not that tired, my hand hurts from playing mercenaries 2, carpal tunnel… me thinks.

Kelate is coming home! neena neena neeenerr. With her return, returns everything! Well actually when she returns all that she took with her will return. So….yeah it will be back to normal again. Which is going to be nice. We missed you while you were gone!

Apart from that, Planeshift! I havn’t really been playing that much and I have noticed that a lot of old annoyances are hanging around in IRC, this makes me worry a little and hope that they aren’t actually playing PS and it is all just a pretty bad dream.

I am not sure exactly what this blog was meant to be about apart from being excited that kelate is coming home. So I guess I will leave it here before it becomes a long ramble about nothing.
