Twit! Wait, what?

So, wait, my friend, apparently, is military, or, at least, affiliated with the USO.

I have to say, I missed that. Its funny, only on the internet could you feel comfortable enough with a person to call them a friend, and not know who they really are.

I'm fairly incognito myself, but I tend to be that way cause, well, I'm boring. Funny what you learn.

(I want points, btw, for not making some snarky joke, about how he linked to the USO donate page, rather than the About USO page, or even just the USO front page. =p)

(Oh, crap, I did make a snarky joke.)

Twit! Nerf RNG-based EQ attacks, n00bs!

Seriously, Blizzard has no foresight at all, to not nerf earthquakes now risks the future stability of their game. I mean, sure, the chance is real low, and even when they do proc, they hardly ever do any damage, but they also cause a fear effect that cannot be dispelled, and sometimes, when they crit, they crit bad.

Blizzard needs to nerf earthquakes, or the class that uses them, the earth, to the ground, baby! Amirite? If they dont do this, I am going to reroll my life.

The Saga is over

At last, I have a working computer, a working copy of WoW, and my addons are (mostly) back up to snuff. Ive been quiet about my ordeal, but I think it is time for this story to be made public, but I warn you, some of the images and reenactments you are about to see may be distressing to some viewers. First, we have to cover the tragedy that started this whole thing in motion. You see, my computer broke. At the time, this reporter was unaware of the true scope of the tragedy. Some sources quoted me as saying there was magic smoke, other sources did not. What I really said, based on the remains was, "My god, their must have been smoke." At the time, I had no idea how right I was. You see, the English, jealous of my good teeth, stole my computer, and did evil things to it, only to return it later without my knowledge. (No doubt they were in league with the underpants gnomes, and that is how they got in and out so stealthily.) I wouldn't believe me either, but after long and extensive archival research, I was able to uncover this archival footage of the incident that day. Sadly, the massive loss of Bothan life could not be avoided, (they are too delicious.) It was either that, or this... And after the filming of that degrading piece of filth, my computer committed suicide. Either way, I blame Gnomes (underpants or otherwise.) From the point it became clear my computer was lost to me, I became distraught, despondent, and otherwise dis-something-a-whosit. My dear brother went out of his way, and bought me a whole new computer. There were some... http://inspiredogre.blogspot.com/2008/12/twit-i-am-so-mad.html, with the delivery, and though UPS delivered on time after all, I make no apologies for any of my words or actions. (Incidentally, you can totally blame me for the crappy "What can brown-and-bloody do for you?" ad campaign, I went a little overboard with the stabbing.) However, budgets being what they are, the video card I had was, less than suitable. But I did learn something. When the login-dragon laughs at you in 1 FPS, just don't log in, turn back around, and get a new video card. So, I did, and now, I am sitting high and happy, ready to play as soon as I get home this morning. ... ... ... ... ... ... DAMNIT!

Twit! I am SO mad.

There will not be a real post today. I am so mad, my computer delivery is delayed until the 5th. I appreciate that when UPS says '3 day delivery' they mean 3 business days... But the 5th will be seven business days... Hell, the 2nd would have been six! And, like the rest of the world, I do exist during non-business days... It will be 11 days from the day they shipped. GRRR.

Broken Promises, computers, and stuff.

Middle first, this time! My computer is broken, YAAAY! I told my friends that I saw the magic smoke come out and everything... I lied. I didn't see it, I am a bastage. Sorry, friends! (Since I am unable to log on any 'meaningful' or 'important' computer services, they cant beat me up.) Also, I am sorry, folks, all of you came to my website for the mailto:!@#$%^&*, and I promised you a lolcat. But there WAS no lolcat, I have addressed this in a very Chinese fisherman way. Here, is, lolcats! You may now see them on a daily basis, they even have an RSS feed! Here is the one I was going to give you. I am sorry. And, now for the stuff part of the post. Winterveil gifts were lame. Here is my problem, we knew about the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer since beta, when we first saw the winter veil achievements. Part of gifts are the surprise! Aside from the racer, there were 5 other gifts you could get. They were;

• Carefully Wrapped Present, gave Winter Veil Cookies.
• Gently Shaken Gift, gave either food or drink.
• Festive Gift, gave Wand of Holiday Cheer to annoy everyone, thankfully, it only lasts 10 days.
• Gaily Wrapped Present, gave one of these; Green Helper Box, Red Helper Box, Snowman Kit, or Jingling Bell. (I got the bell.)
• Ticking Present : mainly gives a Mechanical Greench, but some people got Preserved Holly. In previous years, this gift had a small chance to give a recipe for something festive, although sometimes that was a stretch. I cannot confirm it was the same this year (I got the Greench.)

So, the only thing that you could have gotten that will last, other than a Racer, is one of 4 pets, which are the same pets as before. Outside the racer, there was no change from last year at all!

Am I just a scrooge?

Merry !@#$%^&*

Yup, !@#$%^&*, the best holiday of the year. Too bad we are all required to make a stand, one way or another about the season. I mean, the religious people saying they are the firstest to ever celebrate, and the other religions saying "lol, don't forget us," and then there are the people to are making 'war' against a holiday, (?) and then there is me. I say fuck'em all... Imma celebrate !@#$%^&*, but I am going to pronounce it "Christmas," so that no one realizes I am a heathen. So, Merry !@#$%^&* to one, Merry !@#$%^&* to all! My gift to you all (all 4 of you,) aside from the lolcat, is this true conversation I really just had...

• Me: -phone ring rings- "Front desk."
• Hotel nub: "Hey, this is room 204," (I know, I can see that, noob.) "Can I get a wake up call for 6 to 6:30?"
• Me: -boggle- "Lolwut? You want the phone to ring from 6 until 6:30? or, twice, once at 6, once at 6:30? or did you just want me to guess you noob?!?" Okay, okay, so I really just said, "Okay."

Edit: So, Blogger decided that my holiday, !@#$%^&*, is an email!
