WAR update

This time, Alterac Valley. The Battleground for when you reach level 51.
Essentially a copy...ahem... omage to DoTA and Rival Nations I would say.

(Is my link to rivala nations the right one? They seem to have change a lot)

Anyways... For those that played those mods... mainly stynky... you can see on the official webpage how in this battlegroud lets you arrange armies for assault like in the mods, also you can upgrade your units like you did in Rival Nations, and upgrade yourself like you did in both.
However you don't win by destroying the enemy stronghold but by killing the enemy general... who is in a stronghold :P

This weekend is Alterac Valley weekend which means bonus honor for those who play and thus, more games to play arround. This is good in AV since this battleground requires 40 ppl on each side.... Yes, 40, not 10 like warsong gulch, or 15 like Arathi Basin, but 40 players on each side, so it could be a nice battle everytime, that could go even better if all those damn 7 out of the 8 million WoW users had played some strategy before.
I say this cause with all the possibilities that the battlegrounds gives you to make and organize assault, all you get is 40 ppl rushing to the enemy base and start hacking and slashing untill they might get the general.... /sigh

I might go out and yell... "You lets try and summon the elite unit" ... and all i get in replys are... " &^$% just come here help us kill the general noob"
/sigh

Still from time to time you find one that has played Warcraft and also agrees on helping you at least upgrade our defense units.

So with all the good and bad... I'm going to AV since one of the rewards is an epic mount, and I still need to learn more from this battleground.

WoW Update.... Cancelling

First I don't want to keep paying monthly fee, I never had to do so for Diablo and original Warcrafts.
Second I have to show stynky that I'm unable to get an A on Cancer biology because it seems I reach my intellect threshold rather than too much WoW.

And
so it is cancelled. I dunno If i haven't cancelled too many things in
life, but see the picture? I was kind of amazed how much they taunt you
to stay.
-Peon Cry
-They ask u why u leave, and give u a way to stay (In my case I said too
expensive, and went on to write to them as they suggested in the
cancelling section. They haven't replied with the so call alternative
forms of payment... so much for customer care)
-And u don't see it in the pic, but below there were some characters with the begging animation.

I still be posting about Wow untill the 27 when my account expires.


On other worthy notes:
Lord Henry went on and state the truth once more so bluntly.
"A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her"
and there was another quote i liked but have forgotten.

Had forgotten about Justice the comic book, saw that I was missing two issues and bought it... trully old school good vs evil battleroyal where evil makes stupid choices when they could be winning... but still nice art :P

Anyways it ends... for now, I still have to use your game card :P

WoW update of the weekend

Fighting Gharz'rilla

The big Lizard thingy u c up there (Gonna use chat writing for this posts)

Really not that impressive, as boss fights go, there is a similar one at the end of BFD instance.
The thing is that is one boss u actually have to finish a looong tough quest outside the instance to be able to summon it.
And a cool thing (If you are high level to withstand it) Is that he can Knock you out into the air for like over1k hp damage, but u get an awesome view of everything in the air... I tried to take a picture of when he does that, but never manage to capture it in time... oh well, some other time.

WoW Wedding

And I'm the best man for the second time in my life ... woot!



Stupid free software labeling their work... does anyone know of a good program to play with tga files?

Anyways about the wedding it was kind of a joke from 2 ppl in our guild.
Still we went ahead an RAIDed SM Cathedral.
OK, guess that calls for explanation. By raiding I mean a group of more than 5 people on a team... in our case it was just 10 cause that zone SM (Scarlet Monastery) Doesn't allow for more. With this group we went ahead and assaulted a Cathedral that is held by humans that have gone mad and kinda resemble an inquisition burning innocents and all that in the name of... hmm I dunno... all I care is that we needed their Cathedral, so we went ahead and killed them all to have the ceremony :P



YAY THE GEEKNESS.
