There is a war going on for your mind, if you are thinking you are winning.
Fly like an eagle… er griffin.
Mar 4th
My priest on world of warcraft finally hit level 70 and is the proud owner of a snowy white 2007 griffin ES!
Being able to fly anywhere (albeit slowly) is such a cool feeling, It’s almost like the game has changed from 2D to 3D.
The push from level 60 to 70 wasn’t all that difficult. I would guess that it took about 60 hours of playing time.
The sad thing is that during this time I’ve seen several people start a brand new level 1 character and manage to beat me to level 70 despite my 60 level head start. The amount of playing time to achieve 1 to 70 in a month is staggering. I would place a rough guess at a minimum of 8 hours a day 7 days a week or approximately 1680 hours.
The sad thing about all this is that for a person to do this they would have to have no job, no family comitments, or really no life outside of WoW whatsoever, and yet they are seen as heroes and strike awe into all that see them.
We really do live in a world where complete obsessive dedication despite the subject matter or contribution to society is rewarded highly.
As for me I’m going to stay an unglorified and unrecognized casual gamer.
P.S. I have added 25 new pictures to the WoW album in my gallery, check it out!
Crossovers
Jan 24th
I don’t know why but I love crossovers. I love to play out in my mind what would happen if character X happen to end up in world Y. This video here is a prime example of something that makes me sick with laughter. BTW the following I would consider rated R.
AMV
Jan 22nd
Lately I’ve been into checking out new AMVs (anime music videos). Some have been excellent and some have been, well, crap. There are quiet a few that I have just come to love and I watch them multiple times a day like this All of this has inspired me to create a new page on my site dedicated to video, so, look for that coming very soon.

This is mainly a test of the Viper’s video quicktags plugin which makes it incredibly easy to embed video into wordpress.

It’s starting to look a lot like teh suck.
Dec 6th
There is nothing like shoveling snow after a long day of work then waking up early and doing it again to let you know the joys of home ownership.
I am also torn at the moment over choosing to setup Christmas lights, or stay inside a nice warm house and not freeze my butt off on a ladder. Right now the not freezing is leading by a wide margin.
My web design time right now has been devoted to a couple side projects. These side projects have infused me with new zeal in wanting to update and modify my site. Look for changes coming to my page soon.
