I'm fucking old.

Haven't updated this in a while.  My apologies, however I thought that since today is my birthday I will express a little about how I feel.  It pretty much comes down to this...

I'm 23 years old and I feel like I'm 80.  I need to fucking exercise more.

At least I get to go to my favorite restaurant, Jose Tejas in Woodbridge, NJ.  Then to come home for some cheesecake with cherry pie filling.... seriously, I need to start exercising...

Anyway, that concludes today's broadcast.  We have no idea when we will be on the air again.  It depends on how lazy the DJ is feeling.

I have completed my Focus... Eternal life awaits...

Now most of you who know me are aware of the fact that I've beaten The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 37 times (Yes I've kept count).  In my opinion, that is by far the best game I've ever played in my entire life.  But I just came across a game that is a pretty damn close 2nd.

I've always wanted to get into the who Final Fantasy franchise but I never really acted on it.  I never bought a game or really played one for an extended period of time.  But recently I was running out of games to play and decided that I would go out and buy Final Fantasy 13 for my XBOX 360.  I knew it was going to be different than any other RPG I've played before because it was turn based and whatnot.  I had heard read some really good reviews online and a lot of my friends told me that it was an amazing game.

Upon plopping the disk into my console and playing for several hours I began to realize how linear this game was, which was surprising because I had heard about the earlier games being different.  It was as if I was walking through an extremely straight tunnel...  but that tunnel was the most beautiful tunnel I have EVER walked through.

The storyline in this game was so amazing.  The cutscenes were scripted so well that I was extremely captivated by the whole thing, especially the ending... it was pretty emotional... not gonna lie.  Not to mention that Lightning is pretty fucking badass and I sure as shit would not want to fuck with Fang.  Sorry people but I'd like to have kids one day.  Also... did anyone else get the feeling that Vanille was kind of slutty?  I mean the way she walked just looked like she was a crack whore looking for some druggie to fuck.  And Hope with his annoying cliche motivational speeches... that got kind of annoying as well.  But hey they pulled it off extremely well.  Kudos to the crew who worked on this game... you all did an amazing job.

Now as I said before The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my #1 game of all time (Let's call it a 10/10).  But this game comes as close as you can get to that game.  If I had to put a number on it, then it would be a 9.999999999999999999999999999... (you get it) out of 10.  If you haven't bought this game yet I suggest you go do it.  I guarantee you it won't disappoint.

Well kids, it's time for me to go farm.  All that's left for me to do now that Orphan is dead is the go farm asstons of CP so I can max out my characters and farm Adamantoises and (Sha)Long Guis until my eyes bleed.  Gonna be farming for a while but at least my experiences with farming things repeatedly on World of Warcraft have prepared me to handle hours upon hours of mindnumblingly boring tasks.  Sigh...  I guess I just have to pretend that this is my new Focus and if I don't complete it I will turn into one of those ugly Cie'th.  I MUST COMPLETE MY FOCUS!!!

Peace out bitches.

Borgata > Bally's

So a bunch of coworkers and I decided to make a haphazard trip to Atlantic City yesterday after work.  After a lot of screaming and yelling we came down to two choices...

Bally's or the Borgata.

The choice is clear here, anyone with a brain would go to the Borgata over Bally's... but my coworkers have no brains.  Besides the fact that they have horribly lighted casino floors, terrible music and a ridiculously small amount of tables we had an okay time..... no wait, that fucking place sucked... Seriously I would have rather been punched in the nuts then to go there.

A few of us decided that we had enough of the place and took a drive over to the Borgata.  Walking into that place is like walking into the richest guy's house in Dubai.  I swear it is gorgeous... just like the waitresses.  Holy crap those are some of the most amazing looking women I have ever seen.

We played blackjack and roulette for a few hours before finally arriving home at 4:30 in the morning on Sunday (today).  Sure I only got 5 hours of sleep before work but I'm 22... I'M FULL OF LIFE AND ENERGY AND WONDERFUL ASPIRATIONS... RIGHT!?... RIGHT!?

All in all it was a fairly fun evening.  Was the first time I had gone out in a few weeks so it was a nice stress reliever/cathartic/whatever the hell you wanna call it.

Too bad I'm 200 bucks down though... gotta get that shit back somehow...

Maybe I can start selling my body... ANY TAKERS!? 22/M/NJ!! LIKES LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH, PUPPIES AND CUDDLING!!!

COME ON PEOPLE I GOTTA PAY FOR GRAD SCHOOL SOMEHOW!!!

Hard work finally pays off...

Well folks I finally did it.  I GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH HONORS!!!  It's about time ladies and gentlemen.

I am now the proud owner of a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice.  Thanks to everyone who supported me over the past few years!

My next mission?  Graduate school at Rutgers this fall.  Statistics and Biostatistics?  BRING IT ON!!

The Light of Dawn

After many trials and tribulations Exodus has defeated the final boss in Wrath of the Lich King.  Arthas has fallen and the scourge are finally under the control of someone who won't use them to rape and pillage Azeroth.

After many weeks and hundreds of wipes we are finally relieved to have beaten the expansion.  We would have enjoyed doing it much sooner but there was a bit of a learning curve with all the recruits in the raid, myself included.  I think we all did pretty good and congratulations to everyone for such a great kill!  It was by far one of the most difficult fights Blizzard has developed for this game, and also one of my favorites.  This fight actually requires me to pay attention pretty much 100% of the time instead of standing there for 2 minutes waiting for Cronion's stacks to reach 9 and then taunt or having to run around a room for 4 minutes kiting oozes that will rape me if they get near me... OR sitting around for about 5 minutes smacking Professor Putricide until it's my turn to taunt at sub 20%... ORRR standing still bitchslapping a queen while everyone runs around the room biting each other spreading AIDS like wildfire... I'll stop here... I'm sure you get the picture.

All in all it has been an utterly awesome three weeks in this guild so far and I'd just like to say I am having a great time.  I'd also like to thank all of you who have given me the opportunity to be part of such an amazing place to raid (Kay, can we fuck now? no homo).

Let's end with some pictures!

Got 99 problems but a Lich ain't one!



WHY DO THEY CALL THE MOUNT INVINCIBLE IF YOU CAN SEE IT!? I DUN GET IT CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME HOW IT WORK!?



Gratz Leibo on your new mount.  I better see you eat, breathe, shower, sleep, work and shit while riding that thing for the rest of your life!

I'd also like to mention something about the triumphant return of Kaywarrior... But since I'm in awe and at a complete loss of words I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...



Pretty fucking pro if you ask me...

Once again I'd like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to raid with the best of the best.  It surely is an amazing experience and I hope it lasts for quite a long time!

Oh yeah... now that I mention that... one more thing...

"Duriek owes Kripparrian 10400 gold." ..... GET FUCKED!!

So I have come across a extraordinary addon for World of Warcraft since my wondrous experience in Exodus began a week ago.  This addon, called GCGambler, allows for players to roll off in order to win gold.

How does it work, you ask?  I shall tell you.

Whoever is running the addon tells the game what numbers each person is supposed to roll (they can range from 1 - X, with X being the number that is entered as the top end of the roll spectrum).  For example, the person running the addon tells the program "Ok, roll off from 1- 1000".  The addon will call for people who want to play the game to type "1" in raid chat.  It will then make an announcement for the "last call".  After that it will tell everyone to roll.  The person that rolls the lowest number has to pay the person who rolls the highest number the difference between their rolls.  It's as simple as that.  It's pretty addicting but it is a lot of fun.... until this happens....



And then this....



Yes ladies and gentleman.  I lost 13,407 gold (more than half my assets at the time) last night in less than one minute.  I was able to make about 5.5k of it back in one roll later in the night but that still leaves me just under 8000 gold down.  I think I may start to sell my body for some gold.  Either that or people need to start buying more of my gems and enchanting mats I have scattered all over the auction house (I apologize in advance if I completely saturate and destroy the market, but my auction house mule's name is Greenspan.  It's only in his nature).

For the most part we made some progress on the Heroic Lich King this week.  Getting him consistently into phase 2 for several minutes and then stuff just happens to fall apart due to the ridiculous amount of things going on at once.

HEY LOOK THE STUNNER GOT PICKED UP AND THE DEFILE WAS ON THE TANK WHO WAS RUNNING OUT TO THE VALKS BECAUSE HE WAS ASSIGNED TO SNARE CIRCLE AND THEN IT GREW QUITE A BIT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WIPE US SO WE TRIED TO RECOVER BUT THE LICH KING DECIDED TO INSTA SOUL REAPER CRONION WHO ARTHAS APPARENTLY LIKES FUCKING IN THE ASS AND HE RAN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS SECOND ON THREAT AND DECIDED TO WHACK ME WITH 2 HASTED 45K HITS IN LESS THAN 2 SECONDS AND I FELL OVER DEAD CUZ MY ARDENT DEFENDER PROCCED FROM THE PEVIOUS SOUL REAPER AND I HAD NO COOLDOWNS AND ALL THE HEALERS WERE DEAD FROM FALLING OFF THE EDGE CUZ TOO MANY DPS WERE DEAD FROM THE PREVIOUS DEFILE TO KILL THE VALKS IN TIME TO DROP THE HEALERS

That basically sums up all of our wipes into one long run on sentence with no grammatical merit whatsoever.

Well to wrap things up I think I will end with several humorous pictures.


Poor Shin, losing all that gold.  Well at least you just bought Altstar his new Porsche 911 Carrera S!!!



Enjoy your new ride buddy!!!

A series of unfortunate (yet fortunate) events.

Alas... my time in Gwen Stefani has come to an end.  I have decided to move onto bigger and better things.  Like Exodus for example.  That's right... I have gotten accepted as a trial into the best guild in the United States.  Well they were when I transferred on Monday.  Premonition decided to kill the Heroic Lich King the other night and had to knock us down to #2.  I'm not sweating too much about it though.  I'd rather be a horde character than an alliance.  They just have ridiculously better racials for PvE raiding (Actually the real reason is because they look cooler).

But moving onward to the aformentioned unfortunate events...

Exodus' previous prot paladin, Slackadin, got into a car accident as is no longer able to play the game.  This is what allowed me to even apply to the guild in the first place.  I am sure he was an exceptional tank and a great guy but without this car accident I would still be in my other guild.  But I guess all things happen for a reason, right?  But wait, I'm not done yet... there's even more to this story!

The day after I join Exodus their main tank, Burter, quits the game.  It's almost surreal that this unique circumstance has occured.  One of their tanks gets into an accident and then another quits the day after I join?  I am now a full time tank in the 2nd best guild in the country and I'm in the first week of my trial period.  They've already got me tanking a 10 man full time (I will get into more deatil on this later) and they said that they were extremely pleased with my performance after my first night of raiding... a night in which we cleared all 11 heroic mode ICC fights in two hours.... Let me say that again...

We cleared all 11 heroic ICC fights up to the Lich King..... IN TWO FUCKING HOURS!!!

I swear I have never had so many people riding my ass on threat before in my entire life.  I had to change my tanking gear and regem stuff so I can have at least a 10% gap between me and the #2 person on threat.

Like I said before the 10 man I am tanking for now is the 2nd Exodus group.  They call it their "melee group".  This group has not killed the Lich King on heroic yet (their ranged group has) but we are very close.  The best part about this group is the fact that there is a living God amongst it's members.  He is by far the best hunter I have ever seen play this game.  That's right boys and girls... I'm talking about Kripparrian.  This guy rides my ass on threat like a fucking fat asshole raiding a bakery after not eating for 2 weeks.  All I have to say is thank god for misdirects or he'd be dead more than he's alive.  After talking to him in my interview and raiding with him I discovered he is a really cool guy.  But I swear I thought I was going to die the other night.

Oh would you like to know why?... I shall tell you.

There we were tanking the Heroic Lich King on 10 man.  Ghouls and Horrors all around me!  The Lich King stared at me and said "LOLSHADOWTRAPMOTAHFUCKA!!".  I quickly strafed to my left and the horror I was furiously tanking followed me.  But wait!  HE BEGAN TO CAST SHOCKWAVE ONCE HE TURNED SLIGHTY TO THE RIGHT!! Out of the corner of my eye I look... and there is Kripparrian... sitting hopelessly by a pillar with nothing to do.  The horror completes his cast and Kripparrian meets his demise... no thanks to me.  I am sitting there in my chair, silent for several seconds, trying to register what just happened.  I say to myself...

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUCKFUCKFUCK SHIT ASS FUCKKKK I JUST FUCKING KILLED KRIPPARRIAN WTF I'M SO FUCKING DEADDDDDDDDD!!!"

(Yes children, just like that)

A few seconds later on vent I hear him quietly say... "Heh. That's cool."  I calmly try to explain what happened thinking that it was all in vain.  I was dead.  I was ready to get my head ripped off... but Kripparrian understood what happened and insisted that we get back in there for some more attempts. 

After the raid was over he comforted me.  He quietly whispered in my ear that everything would be ok.  We cuddled together on the bed and I burried my head deep into his chest and wanted to lay there forever. (Ok not really)

All in all my experience raiding with them has been great so far.  I was somewhat expecting a group of elitists who were completely and utterly serious about this game.  I was expecting raid leaders to rage on vent when someone made a mistake.  Oh boy was I wrong.  This group of people is so laid back and cool it is just full of pure awesomeness.

I think I am going to really like it here.
