Early WOTLK video

Well I finally am back to being able to post again, and I just read the results of the poll. I guess you guys want more video game stuff. Alright well here's something I found the other day on youtube. It's me killing some bosses in Naxx when it first came out(you can tell because I still have t6 and Sunwell loot on in the videos).

Yes, the quality is poor. No, I didn't upload or edit them, I just frapsed it for a friend of mine that wanted to try to make a couple videos.

Why should you care? Well you really shouldn't about old content, but I thought it was funny that they were still up. I tried to get him to do some PvP videos of me in arenas since I was the highest ranked retribution paladin in arenas from seasons 2-6 or 7(I forgot when I stopped playing) according to arena junkies at the time, but he never wanted to do those. He said "more people would like to see how to do the boss fights that see PvP."

Disclaimer: The videos are pretty crappy quality, and I do apologize.

Question: So if you play WoW or used to what did you play? What were some big accomplishments of yours(arena, server/world first, raiding, etc.)? If you haven't played Wow, what do you play instead(I'd like to know so I can cater to everyone since every gamer doesn't play WoW)?





Sorry

I have been really busy to say the least, and this week will probably be a lot better.

Here's a video I found a while back. I think for all of you Duke Nukem fans you'll enjoy it. For other people, you might enjoy it if you like listening to people rage. And for all of you others, well you'll probably still find it hilarious.

Fallout New Vegas



So who else is ready for this to come out? It's getting down to the wire now. Only 4 days left I know that I can barely hold in my excitement. On October 19th, I'm canceling all appointments, locking the doors, shutting the blinds, turning off the lights, and wasting an entire day alone in my room with my 360(let's not get into an argument about ps3 vs. 360 vs. PC okay? I have them all, and I like them all).

Probably the next game I will purchase after this will be Rage, but that isn't for another 4 months at least, so I certainly bet that New Vegas will keep me entertained until then. :)

I know that I tried to pre-order the collector's edition and all of the Gamestops I went to were fucking sold out. So I'll just have to settle for the regular one. That's one of the reasons you shouldn't procrastinate kiddies.

What are your thoughts? Can't wait for it? Don't care?

Twilight

A bit of an update: I'm going to be really busy until Saturday, but I will still update every day(at least I should be able to).

Now everyone let's talk serious. Let's talk horrible flesh eating diseases. I'm talking about Twilight, of course! I read the first book because you can't truly hate something unless you understand or have experienced it. It was awful, and I seriously question chopping off my manhood for making such a terrible decision. Nevertheless, I'm sure you've heard about Twilight(which if you haven't you have bigger problems like: you're living in Africa with no clean water or you don't leave you house, watch TV, or go on the internet), but I found this video that I think would've made Twilight much better. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Another busy day

Sorry, I have another busy day today as well. I have a job interview for a pharmaceutical company in their research and development department, and I'm also going to celebrate with my friends that someone is actually hiring in this economy afterwards. It's kind of sad that you have a party just because you got an interview. Anyways. I'll post another awesome video I found while using stumble upon. I hope you enjoy it.

White woman's workout

I don't have much time today, so I'll keep it short. I have a bunch of appointments to keep.

Here's something to make you lulz:

She has a boyfriend

I had a very late night a few weeks back because I was bored. So what do I do when I'm bored? Why, I go to my trusty anti-bored toolbar stumble upon. If you don't have stumble upon then you're missing out on one of the best things on the internet ever.

The Stumble Upon toolbar has a Stumble button, a category selection button, Like/dislike buttons, favorite, other stumblers(that you might know), a way to share your stumble findings, and a tools button where you can edit some options. Now, what does it do you ask? Well that's a very easy question! It takes you to a random website that other stumblers just happened to "stumble upon" that they though might be relevant to a certain topic that interests you. For instance: If you choose the category of Art and the subcategory of anime, you might come across a wide variety of anime websites that could interest you. You could come across anime streaming websites, free manga website, maybe a website where you can buy anime acessories, who knows?

Stumble upon is an amazing tool if you're bored. I highly recommend it if you don't have it already. Here's something that I found recently.

Yes I realize it's big, but the smaller size was just too small in my opinion.

Mario 64

After wasting hours watching videos of old games I played back in the day(Super Metroid, Super Mario, Mario 64, Chrono Trigger, Paper Mario, some Zelda titles, etc.) I stumbled upon this gem. I seriously luled at 1:16, and at the end. It seriously made my day.



I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Computer Problems

So my computer has been having a lot of problems lately which is why I haven't posted anything for a while. I swear, if it's not my video card that's not good enough for games it's my processor. If it's neither of those, it's that I don't have enough RAM, or I don't have the right drivers for anything to work. I seriously need a new PC. I've been getting all kinds of blue screens and error messages lately, so sometimes my PC won't even turn on.

That's where all of the blogging and working money is going to go as soon as I have enough. I think I'll just buy a really nice one from newegg or ibuypower. Does anyone have any experience(good or bad) from these two companies? I'd like to hear what your comments on them would be. Do they have payment plans because I am quite broke, but I could afford to pay in payments.

Here's my current specs:

Don't get me wrong. It's a decent computer. I can run Starcraft 2 with medium-high settings without much of a problem. It's really that my CPU and motherboard are both complete crap. And I'd also like a new sound card and hard drive since 160GB isn't very big... : / I can't overclock it at all either. I tried in the BIOS, but it just doesn't support it. I also tried the Nvidia Nforce overclocking software, but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm looking to spend about $1,000-$1,500. Any advice, comments, tips?

Beam cage and prison

If you're like me, and sometimes you're looking for a flash game to pass the time when you're bored at work, or at home then you're probably played a few flash games. Well I've played quite a few in my time since I get bored of things rather quickly, and one of my favorites is beam cage and, it's sequel, beam prison.

You have to use keys on the keyboard to deflect lasers from hitting you're little guy. It starts out simple enough, but gets increasingly more difficult as you progress(what good game wouldn't?).

Not only is it both a challenge and addicting, but also the music is awesome. I love the songs from the games so much that they're on my iPod now, and they were free! YAY!

Unfortunately, I suck at HTML and can't post it directly on my site because I don't know how. So instead, I'll give you the link to play both.

Rick Sanchez

Now, I know some, if not most, of you have heard of the news about Rick Sanchez being fired from CNN for calling Jon Stewart a "bigot." I figured that why not talk about it here as well? Seriously, does Rick Sanchez actually believe Jon Stewart is a bigot? According to Merriam-Webster a bigot is defined as "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance."

When has Jon Stewart ever expressed hated for any group whatsoever? Well, I guess you can say that he doesn't favor the conservatives too much, but to call him a "bigot?" Later he did retract his statement saying "...okay I'll take the word 'bigot' back, and say prejudicial." I'm sorry, but when has prejudicial been a step below a bigot?

Should Rick have lost his job? Probably, but it was really now worse than the fear mongering Glen Beck and he still gets to keep his job. Maybe Rick can get hired on Fox News as a news distorter since those are the kinds of comment I expect to come from them.

Here's the interview:

Starcraft 2 game

This is one of my favorite Starcraft 2 games.

It's absolutely hilarious.



I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, I know that any time a player gets something out of the norm in Starcraft 2 and makes it work it always makes me happy and lulz. I hope that it did for you as well.

Most awesome intro to a song ever.

I don't know what kind of music you're into, but this is quite possibly one of the best intros to a song ever(at least in my opinion). I love this song, and pretty much every song by Kalmah.

Just a warning: it is metal, so if you're not into it you don't have to listen to the whole song, but you should at least listen to the intro.



Lyrics:

A condemned man in a prison cell
charged with a crime he has done
He draws a picture on the wall a symbol of victory
He clothed peoples thoughts in words
declared peace and liberty
The iron fist clenching his throat depriving humanity

A political prisoner a propagandistic weapon
Of the proletarian dictature against the other world
After he has been released
Got his name on the paper
A part of a macabre tradition
Released as a gift

And we´re all staring at the news
Nodding our heads in approval
We think that the the world is better now
Although he is already dead

A condemned man in a prison cell
charged with a crime he has done
He draws a picture on the wall a symbol of victory
He clothed peoples thoughts in words
declared peace and liberty
The iron fist clenching his throat depriving humanity

[Chorus:]
We don´t give a damn
He is not one of us just one from the stands
And afterwards we have cleared ourselves
Justice has done

Justice has done
Justice has done

Soon another one will come declares peace and liberty
Speaks the words want to be heard words of alteration
But he will be arrested he will be condemned
But never mind there are more in the stands

[Chorus:]
We don´t give a damn
He is not one of us just one from the stands
And afterwards we have cleared ourselves
Justice has done

[Chorus:]
We don´t give a damn
He is not one of us just one from the stands
And afterwards we have cleared ourselves
Justice has done
