And That is Why I Should Not Drink...

It's amazing the things that appear here, that I have no memory of posting. It's almost as if someone else had access to the account.

Did I Hurt Your Illegal Alien Feelings...?

The last post I did was a bit... insensitive. I acknowledge that, and I say FUCK YOU!@

You don't like what I write, fuck off. Go to some commie website that strokes your ghey vein.. you wont get it here I assure you.


That said... St. Joe McCarthy is prayed to here, in the hopes he will intercede on our behalf, and rid this country of every stinking last one of you socialist pig bastards.. may you all rot in hell.

Or a ceptic tank... depending upon your geographical location...

If you're are left, then you are wrong... if you are too far right, you're actually leaning left... why can not there be center folk?

KFC=Kan't Fuckin' Comprehend?

This seems pretty simple... "I want a 10-piece meal, all dark meat. That's legs and thighs only please!" and the somnambulent behind the register says "Ok... $ten fiddy please".

Now one assumes when the register monkey asks you for cash, naming an amount as well to the cash they require... one would assume they did the math, and are aware of what it is they sold you, and what you would expect at the window.

"Que?!? Yo no sabe del pollo fuentes... Por favor escuchin mi managore..."

Cluck you, Pedro!!!... I want fried chicken... how fucking hard is that you wetback bastard?!@?

You give me an extra side or biscuits, I swear to christ I am calling ICE. I know damn well they got "el pullo" in your country of origin. So don't look at me like a retard in the middle of traffic. Go ahead, Juan, slap the backs of your hands together, and play it up for the public dole.. but GODDAMMIT when I come by, your spic ass better get my order right... or I will be making a phone call.

Correct order=Pedro get's a check, and stays...

Incorrect order= ICE knocking on Pedro's door, as well as white devil assistant manager at KFC getting arrested and sent to PMIA prison for aiding and abetting a federal criminal...

WTF Are These Ads Doing Here? ----->

I didn't pick them, so don't blame me.

What to Play, What to Play?

Well, EvE has gotten old. I left it a couple months ago, but left my main account paid as I am still training . I went back to CoH for all of 1 hour. Could not take it, and the game is deleted from my hard drive. Never again.

I had been on a 4 month break from WoW, and thought I would check out all the new things. I rolled a toon on each of the new races, and to be honest the Alliance toon seemed cooler to me. Made him a Shaman, and got to level 27 before I developed an ulcer and put it on hold. There are people on the new server I went to that I know, all Alliance-side, and thought I would just go with my old fall-back toon... the gnome mage. Mages level fast. Well, they used to. I can't seem to make any traction with this sawed-off window-licker. Seriously, I've leveled mages and it seems like the run from level 1 to level 40 took me -maybe- a week? This fool just hit 20 this weekend, and I've had him a couple weeks now.

Oh wait... I think I just figured it out. I don't play this game like a crack-addicted monkey hitting the biscuit button any more. I average about 10 hours a week on it now, as opposed to the 40-60 hours a week I did back when it was... well addictive.

Am I getting wiser, or just more apathetic in my old age?

Time For My Annual Post

In all seriousness, I had forgotten I even had this thing. Work has had me hopping so much, that I have only time to drink and play games online. I suppose I could drink, and post.. but the seriously twisted path my mind has taken in the last year would probably get this site shut down from a drunken post.

And what has happened to Blogspot? Did Google® gobble them up as well?

It has been a while....

Almost been a year!

Wow, I did not expect I would've gone this long without posting. Even for me that's a long damn time.

Oh well, I'm back, and I hope to be a bit more frequent in my ravings. So much has gone on since I last post, I'm sure I could write a book.

Atlanta needs help....

While traffic troubles in the Atlanta metro area are not a new thing; the fiasco of Tuesday's hell really drives home (no pun) the point that this city has grown beyond the ability of the local authorities to cope.

The wreck (caused by one of thousands of doucebags around here) resulted in then entire northbound section of I-75 to shut down. Right at rush hour no less. My 30 mile commute home became a 3.5 hour endurance test. Other cities seem to have at least some coordinated plan when something like this happens. Not here. No, have a major wreck here and the entire city comes to a screeching halt.

The root cause to the problem is that the metro is comprised of some 27 different local jurisdictions. No one jurisdiction has been able to step up and get them all working together. Under normal circumstances, I would oppose federal intervention in any local matter. In this case, it may be acceptable if the state is unable (or unwilling) to take this in hand. And judging from the recent 'opus stupidis' of our current state level government I dont foresee this happening.

I need to move.

Time for another monthly update

When I started this, it was with the intention of marking my little piece of the web. My own little pissing spot where I could voice my opinions on things. Politics, games, life in general... And suddenly I find myself (well, not suddenly as it has been building over time) totally losing interest in those things. It is a serious malaise that has hit me. I've had a belly full of things.

I never really expected to see things improve. I just hoped they would. This world is on the express train to hell, and nobody seems to notice or care. At least not those that can do something about it. And now I think I am one of the legions of apathy. I'm not fighting it anymore. I just want to be left to my own devices at this point.

Meh.

Mexican Prez Upset??!?

So fucking what?

He's pissed because the US is taking a firmer stance against illegal immigrants. I have only two words in mind for him: Bite me.

#1 This still IS a sovereign nation, entitled to all the privileges that entails.
#2 We have a right to monitor, protect, and seal our borders.
#3 President Fox can blow my white challupa if he don't like it.

I am so sick and tired of hearing how "other countries" feel about how we run our own damn country. My opinion, for what it's worth... The next time "President" Fox opens his bean-hole, I think we should show him a little love courtesy of the USMC. Drop a frag on the mexican (the lower case is on purpose) "Casa del Presidente" the next time this 3rd-world wanna-be opens his callupa-suck. See how fast he learns the meaning of "secure border".

Fuck it. Seal all our borders. You want in... Apply like everyone else.

Druid owns my soul....

Well, I rolled a Night Elf Druid...Just to give it a try.

OMFG!!!

Had I known about this toon 6 months ago... My Rogue would never have been.

Complete and utter fun.

Druid is the class that I always dreamed of. They are the "kitchen sink" of all classes. Caster, Healer, Tank, and Rogue. You want it, the got it. Mind you, they don't do it as well as the classes that specialize in the respective skills... But if you want to solo, or be the adjustable wrench in the toolbox of any party... Druid is the way. This Class is just too fun.

I think, in all honesty... Had I not rolled a druid, I would be canceling my WoW account soon. Now,... I dunno. I'm seeing me putting another 300+hrs into leveling a toon.

Damn...time flys

Well, seems it's been over 1.5 months since my last post.

Sue me. You bastards would clikc the ads, maybe make me some cash... I might do it more often.

Anyway....

Well, I finally did it. I got a toon to max level. My rogue hit level 60 in WoW. That is the first (since UO) toonin any MMO I have maxxed. I felt proud when I did it.

And now... that toon sits in eager readiness to farm for me.

Yep, you heard me... It's a farmer. I've been on the top-end raids, and I have to say I am .... unimpressed. Soooooo.... what's to do?

Well, I rolled a few other toons... notmuch excitement there. That is... until I discovered the joy that is Druid.

Someone Giving You Shit?

Been busy

Well, managed to finally fend of that damned sinus infection. I'm now partially deaf as a result, but shit happens.

Also, I've been working like a dog in WoW. I managed to hit level 58 tonight. I'd be 60 by Friday, but work has me on call. And being on call make Baby Jesus cry.

As everyone knows... The Pope died. Major bummer here. He was one of the truly good people in a position of power to walk the earth. We're going to miss him.

Well, that's about it for now. Short post, but I need to shower and hit the rack. Work comes at early O'clock tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it.

TTFN

As Much As I Bag On Them...

Blizzard did do me right on one thing tonight. A couple nights ago I did a quest that showed complete, and for all intents and purposes it was complete, except I got no reward at all. Nor did I see the yellow "Quest completed" message on the screen.

So I petitioned about it, and the first response was something like "That is not broken, and we can't give you hints on how to complete a quest."

So I repetitioned, explaining that situation more clearly. Today, I get an email with *gasp*... An actual list of things to try to correct the issue, and was told that if those failed to repetition and they would do something.

I dont need them to give me a reward, or fix something out of the ordinary... However, giving me a list of possible work-arounds was very welcomed. If I can ever get this patch done, and eventually log in, I plan to try them first thing.

Patching Interface Designer Wanted: Only Crackheads Need Apply

My gawd! The patch utility (as I have said in the past) for WoW is the WORST! A 60.5 MB file to download... Which, on my connection should take no more than 15-20 minutes, tops. But nooooo Blizzard, in their wisdom thought it would be really snazzy if they had a patch server with a dial-up connection.

How the hell does a game that is near the 1 million subscriber mark get away with such a shitty method of patching? I'd rather they just have a simple FTP server set up, and grab it that way. Manual patching I would take in a heartbeat over this.

And the fact my bits uploaded is almost 2x my downloaded does not soothe the pain in any way. Shit... I hate patch days.

WoW (Working on What?!?)

Well, I went to the WoW website tonight, checking the patch notes and the forums to see if there is any mention of a fix for the issue that drove me to quit. Nope. Not a peep. Not even a recognition of this issue. They were fairly quick to respond when this issue hit the Alliance side. However, since this issue is more of a Horde problem they are in no hurry.

It seems the latentcy issues are even worse now. I am sure they are running around like mad trying to fix that. And I just the 'work around' they've put in place. Instead of looking at optimizing code, or possible hardware issues, they deiced to decrease the number of players allowed on a server at a given time. Yeah, I see the logic in that...

"Hey, I know! If we keep them in the login queue long enough, they'll be so happy to get in that they won't even complain about the lag. "

But hey, 16 slot bags are now marked "uncommon".

Meh...

Just Not Fun

I logged into CoH today several times, but just could'nt seem to "get into" it. I think I managed to collect a few badges, and read a few plaques putting me closer to more badges. I also managed to run two missions tonight. The first was against "The Family" (the mafia, basicly) and the other was against what used to be the 5th column. I still say they were much cooler when they were nazis. Kicking the snot out of nazis is more fun for some reason.

Anyway... I ran those two, did a very small amount of street hunting, and decided I had enough for one night. I'm not sure if it's the massive pain in my ears, or the fact the game is just boring... But I just could not get into playing at all.

Ok, Enough Already

This sinus infection has decided to put up a fight. For the last two days I have only been able to swallow liquids, and only with extreme pain. And both eardrums feel as if they have had a blunt pencil driven into them. The ironic part is that I really don't feel much pressure in my sinuses per se. It's the post nasal drip that's honing the irritation blade being twisted behind my tongue.

I tell the doctor I'm having trouble swallowing, and what does she do? Prescribes an antibiotic pill that (and I swear to Christ this is no exaggeration) is about the size of a .45 APC round, case and all. I wonder what the hell I am expected to do with this... Swallow it, or load it in my Colt 1911-A and pull the trigger?

Thank the maker for Thera-Flu©! I don't think I would have survived this long without that nectar of the gods.

Cape For Sale...

Well, I'm seriously not having fun in CoH. I had been away from the game for close to five months, and thought I would never return. Ethic managed to talk me into coming back. So, as you all know I did. It was nice to see they've made some really nice changes, added plenty of content, and even put in some incentives to explore. Had this been the game they had released last year, I would've had to have called it one of the best of all time.

However, a combination of past history with this company, it's in-game CS department, and the openly repetitive game play I just see myself extending my subscription another month. The game is just not fun anymore.

Last week I managed to find a shitload of my old Sega Genisis games. Now talk about gameplay! They just dont make games like they did in the old(er) days. I may just forsake MMOs for good, and just stick to the console.
