Ya.. did you fill out your TPS Report? Did you get the memo? M’kay…. well then, let’s get on that and I’ll send you another memo just to be sure…

I’ve mentioned that I’ve been creating websites for a while. I just contacted one of my clients, who was getting a marketing company to design a logo for them… That was three months ago and I hadn’t heard anything from her… So a week ago, I sent her an email asking, what’s up?

Here’s the response:

Vx Out

Today is the day that patch 1.10 comes out… I was looking at the breakdown of the Rogue from T1 set to T1.5 set… its distrubing… I know this will probably scroll down but bear with me…

The Main thing that I have to point out is the Set Bonus’ at the end… I would rather have the Before V1.10 Set bonus of the Tier 1 set, than have a Tier 1.5 set with those bonus’… its a disgrace…

*Sad Moo Cow cry…*

V for Frickin amazing… I mean Vendetta

In other news, I ended up seeing V for Vendetta. I must admit I was surprised. It was extremely well done movie with vivid images, and an overall storyline that wsa belivible. In fact it reminded me of Matrix 1. Before it got all religious for parts 2 and 3… Well V was directed by the same directors. Who at one point CM said to me that they are no longer the W.Brothers…. But, they are not Brother and sister, one had a sex change…

Score 1 for CM, he got me to believe that story… go fig…

That is what World of Warcraft was…. or rather that is what I thought it was…. Apparently, when a person joins a party, raid or other function that he should inform the party members of his/her actions and anything and everything he/she has done in the last three months, filling out the proper forms in triplicate and coming into work on Saturday… Mmmm Kay? good…

Either way I think that I may take a long break from the game…

Here’s the situation:
The fact that I was in a 5 person group in BRD and queued up for Battle Grounds (which I have done in the past and nothing is wrong with that, BG’s take one hell of a long time to get in…) we had just completed a quest of mine (my only one there) and then WSG Pops and I autojoin it. I try to tell my group about it but I’ve already been kicked from the party, two people have called me a ninja and already ignored my replies and have contacted my guild officier, who proceeds to chew me out while I’m still playing WSG… that I should either Farm while waiting for a Queue or just straight instance… I should be able to do both, just inform the people constantly of my actions…

I tried in all honestly to apologize for the situation that happened. But I couldn’t.

The Solution:
This is a game people. It is meant for many causal people to join together and have fun. People make mistakes. Live with it. Worse comes to worse don’t group with that person. Yes, you could put them on ignore, but only use that as a last resort. 99% of the people are truly sorry, like myself… However, yes, there are those that are out there, you know the 1% that will ninja an item and say it was by accident and such… those you put on ignore…

A better solution. Quit the game, save money and go work out, practise JJ, work on websites, anything but game.

The sky is the sky. The ground is the ground and Work is still Work.

Work has gotten a type bit busier… a tiny bit.. instead of 8 hours of WoW I got in about 5 or 6… yes I was shocked too but that’s ok. I would prefer to be busy at work then playing. People say: “Where do you work? I want to work there…” Well if you insist… But if you have a higher paying job then mine, so be it I will most definitely take your job. Speaking of jobs, remember that one I applied to a few posts back. It was in the paper again Same job, same company better pay.. apparently the hiree that they got didn’t pan out… Looks like Round 2 for me. We shall see.

Quote of the day:

Officier: “Don’t you think about your actions?”

Vx (In-game): (sarcasticly) “Yes, I do. I decide to wake up every morning and say to myself. Gee-whiz, what can I do to spoil the good name of my guild today? Hmm, I know, I’ll leave a 5man for a battlegrounds. Or I’ll Ninja Loot an item when everyone else got an item and didn’t respond to my asking… or better yet, I’ll just go to every single guild and call them a fucktard…” Do you see the absurdity of what you are asking me?

Vx Gamed Out

I’m sick.

No, not twisted sick… (well I am sometimes…)… But more along the lines of Flu type symptoms sick.. Sore and aching muscles. Sore throat. Blowing my nose constantly… etc etc.. .all the fun stuff…

It’s been a rough week so far. I’m going to work, they know I’m sick but I don’t want to take anymore PPH days off..I’ve used 3 out of 4 already… But, other than that I’ve been busy, catching up on my Cartoon watching… and I used to watch alot of cartoons, when they were good… like the Animanics, X-Men, Spiderman but I degress.

Finished the following:
- Elfen Lied
- Hunter X Hunter Episodes 1- 62, OVA’s 1 and 2 (watching 3)

- .Hack // Sign – For those of you that play World of Warcraft… yes, its a new game out there and not taking off as it originally intended just kidding… this anime is about a person stuck inside a game, unable to get out…

Now, if you play WoW AND watch this anime, the similarities are striking… (Actually the “World” in the Anime looks more like Final Fantasy than WoW, but that’s besides the point)… It sometimes gets scary…

- and probably more Anime, but I can’t think straight right now…

WoW… still playing that huh?

Yup, we have been to BWL and cleared from Razor up until Chromagus… The Druids and the Locks are still getting the love. Priests are going to be updated and then finally the mages… I truly fear for us…  I know Blizzard will screw things up.. its just a matter of time. But I did end up getting my preccciiooussss yes, my Staff of Dominance! But, the downside, my Netherwind pants dropped off Rag as well… They will drop again, I’m sure of it…

So, I’ll head to bed, get sleep early and then get up and goto work the rest of the week… fun

Vx Grogily out… zzzzz

‘Tis a famous quote by none other than Lawrence Fishbourne from the Matrix and yet it has a profound impact on many peoples lives… That’s what the wonderful and talented Numfar (without doing the Dance of Reality Check) commented on mine.

Now, I know she’s right… But, it’s really cold out there… and I’m really not into the bar scene anymore…  But I enjoy talking with people in a relaxed setting and enjoying a good conversation. I’m a geek yes, but a cultured geek… I mean I thought I was a hardkore geek, but I was told I wasn’t. I enjoy good food, a nice bottle of wine and people that enjoy a good laugh.

I’ve had alot of time on my hands recently, as if you haven’t noticed… I recently picked up the XBox port FABLE: The Lost Chapters for the computer… Beat it in three days… Maybe this time I’ll play on the good side … Maybe…

I’ve DL’d a ton of Anime, thanks to a guildmate that sent me a list… So, I’ve gotten the following:

Hunter X Hunter (62 Episodes + OVA’s 1 and 2) – Finished Watching all 62 Episodes… up till about 4am on Friday, Saturday…
Hack Sign – If you’ve played alot of WoW (and who here hasn’t), this is about a person trapped inside a game on the net (which strangely enough looks like Final Fantasy) It’s rather interesting.
Elfen Lied – upto Episode 4, its a really weird series…
Samurai 7
Ninja Scroll – upto Episode 10 out of 13.

Will probably DL: Hellsing, Berserk,  Wolf’s Rain, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Witch Hunter Robin

The only real reason I’m doing this is two-fold…
1) I’m broke, I put alot of money into topping up my Taxes for this year.
2) I love Anime with the original Japanese and english subs.
3) it’s not golf season yet…

Did I mention it is cold out? No?… well it is.

Also, side note, Firemaw will soon die tonight.. we have the people, we have the strat… its all a matter of execution-style precision.

Vx Out… Mooo

Let’s see… I’ve already maxxed out my weekly allotment of WoW time… I think I’ve done about 80 hours this week. Mind you it doesn’t set any records that I’ve done in the past for WoW or any other game for that matter…

My guild has been fine. In fact I can’t think of a better guild to be in. We are a ‘causal’ raiding guild that’s for sure, but it seems that we are raiding at least everyday.  Recently I got my third character to 60. Well, second, I still have a 53 Warlock that I’ll eventually get to 60…

But recently, I’ve been a bother to the guild and I didn’t even know it. Apparently they are fine with me getting ‘excited’ over ‘loot’ but they don’t want to hear it excessively in the guild chat. Apparently many, many guildmates have been compaining about it.

Wow… I feel that I’m an approachable person, in game and in general.

I mean, I’m not spamming that I got item xxx, and item yyy fifty-million times in the guild channel. Sheesh… Besides, I just need the Baron’s Cape and I’ll have everything that I set out to get.

Work’s that slow that you are doing what?

Because work is so slow, I picked up Fable: The Lost Chapters. It’s an XBox (original non-circular aka 360 game) that was ported to the computer. Controls aren’t that bad actually and with my finely tuned skills and many years of gaming patience… (ok I downloaded a trainer sue me). I’m having a blast with it. I’m playing it at work as well as at home.

I’ve also been working on the websites with photoshop. It is surprisingly easy too, once you have instruction and the wheels of the brain and smell the smoke burning et, all cliches where I’m starting to get back into the website design business again… You know since I have so much time on my hands…

Quote of the Day:

Conversation between CM and myself:
Vx: I was severly evil and donated 15 million gold a few times to the Good God temple and I’m a frickin saint lol.. Seriously I have a halo and butterflys around my head… It makes it hard to sleep at night… Not to mention my multiple wives that I’ve got all over town.
CM: Thank the gods, its only a game…
Vx: Yes … a game…
CM: Ya.. wait.. what?

There is no Moo Level…
