Disturbing RP goodness
I stumbled upon this while trolling the priest forums randomly. So far I haven’t seen much rp on the rp realm I play at… but this is a hilarious story… with pictures!
Hahahaha Gizoogle.com
Check out Gizoogle.
Here’s the Gizoogle of the front page of my blog, and here’s the gizoogle of my article on the VGL concert.
Just a snippet to get you to click on the link:
The concert started out wit tha W-to-tha-izzorst MC playa. He jizzle wasn’t funny, wasn’t charm’n, didn’t seem like he had any preparizzle but tha F-to-tha-izzirst act was awesome.
And wizzent off ta pay homage ta basically all tha bizzy videogizzles of tha 8 bit n shot calla generizzle . Nigga get shut up or get wet up. Centipizzle Donky K-to-tha-izzong, Rastan, Ghouls n Ghosts, Joust, Defenda, Tempest, Outrun… Perpetratin’ nostalgic ta a kid born in tha early 80’s. And let me tizzay ya, Outrun neva sounded so good.
Antike!
It’s here — I was able to find an online store in the good ol’ US of A and snag their last copy. Hopefully we will be playing it this weekend (along with Caylus)
World of Warcraft patch notes!
Sigh. Now I have to fix my mods. For those of you who want to read the patch notes… Click to read the rest of this post.
Video Games Live!
See the many many pictures I took of the event here!Last night, I attended Video Games Live, a live concert of video game music as performed by the Silicon Valley Orchestra and Choir, at the San Jose Civic Auditorium.
Recieved Caylus and Lost Cities and Loving it
Wow… Go go Saturday delivery. All about recieving Caylus before my friend John has a copy of it, and he’s been on the pre-order list for months now. I payed a tiny bit more for it, but oh well.
I picked up the Scandanavian version fo Lost Cities because the English version is out of print. The Scandinavian verison is basically the same game, cept the rule book is in Scandinavian. But since the rules are available online in English, might as well save a couple of bucks.
Lost Cities is kind of a rummy game for two players.

I went to funagain even though they were more expensive because they had copies of Lost Cities and Caylus.
BTW: OMGIMAGEEK.com degrades very well on a pda screen
Yeah. You heard me right. I’m posting from Ali Baba’s, a tasty mediterranean and burger joint on my lunch break. They have free wifi too, so I’m taking the time to actually use the functionality of some of my geek toys.
Life has been busy lately. I had a phone support day from hell yesterday.
World of Warcraft: The Boardgame
Yeah, you read that right. WoW has a boardgame (and has had one since Christmas). I bought the game for a friend, but he let me borrow the behemoth. Amazingly enough, its very very similar to the computerized version of the game.
Similarities:
- It takes a couple of hours to install for the first time (punching out the millions of chits and then reading the rules and setting up the board).
- There are two factions.
- They hardly ever interact.
- PVP is a waste of time because there are no rewards to pvp and it takes forever.
- Alliance racials seem way better than the Horde racials. (They don’t implement WotF in this game. )
- You have people looking to nerf other classes. (The druid is totally imba.)
- You have to mod the game, or else its unplayable (need to put those stupid chits in bowls and roll in a big bowl, lest the octahedron of doom come and wipe out southshore and most of the surrounding areas.)
- The game takes up far too much space. (The thing was too big for my big dining room table, which is like 10 feet long. The computer game eats up like 6 GB.
- You spend hours and hours playing with your self, getting experience by questing and and only questing, and get items of arbitrary value.
- Grouping sucks, but sometimes you need to, else you don’t progress.
- Powerleveling works.
- The quests send you farther and farther out to the middle of nowhere, meaning that, like the real game, you spend forever in just traveling.
- Gold is worthless. All the good items come from monster fights anyway.
- Training your skills cost you all your money every level.
- Monsters
- Murlocks fights dirty and will kick your ass all the time.
- Scarlet Crusaders are a pain in the ass, especially when the other team makes the sound effects.
- You have arbitrary server lag, like when I have to spend 10 minutes looking up a rule or looking for the correct monster to “load”.
- At the end of the game, you either fight epic monster, or spend the rest of your days in the PVP battleground.
Me and a couple of people played this weekend, 3 horde vs 2 alliance with 1 playing 2 characters. They smashed us good. How did they do this? They haxxored! Our team got wiped out by stupid independant blue wraith twice, while their team just cruised on through and smashed theirs (cleverly ignoring that wraiths are immune to attrition damage). Plus, just like the real game, druids are totally imba. All bout rolling 6 dice at lvl 1, vs like a warrior, that rolls a whopping 3 dice =p. In the end, even that kind of balanced out, though Kris’ totally imba druid soloed his way up to lvl 5 like a madman. Meh. It’s kind of just like playing the real game, cept you don’t have to install teamspeak.
