Zen

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day .
10. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

Video game profile

The Helping Hand
Deliberate Sociable Fun Veteran (DSFV)
Generous, helpful, kind...a few of many positive attributes people see in you, the Helping Hand. Nothing satisfies you more than helping your teammates or friends out in all the games that you play. You may even look to assist people in some cases if there is no one around asking for help. In fact, the enjoyment that you receive from helping people rivals that of solving a puzzle, winning a battle, or achieving a hard objective in a game.

Heavily social intensive games tend to be what you enjoy the most although you can probably find something to take pleasure in with most games. For instance, if you happen to find yourself in a competitive first person shooter, you'd probably take the support class. We recommend you stick to games (and crowds!) where people will appreciate you more; these include more casual gamers seeking fun and excitement from games rather than the serious competitive ones.

Razorfen Kraul

Another instance bites the dust. I'm actually considering doing it again to loot more equipment.

IE8 = crap

I downloaded it to try it, and 15 minutes later it got stuck for 3 minutes and almost crashed.

EPIC FAIL.

Good Party

It is SO different when you have a balanced and hard working party to do an instance. I've been trying for almost a week to complete Wailing Caverns with no definite result, and last night in a simple group of 4, we completed Shadowfang Keep.

Cereal box

That's where some people seem to be getting their driver licenses these days...

On saturday night, a kid rammed into my brother's car, which was parked and had the hand break, and managed to turn it 90° into the road.

Now my brother's worried that his car will be declared wasted because the insurance won't cover a repair more expensive than the car itself.

Lunch quake

I don't know about you guys out there, but these 11:30 am quakes are my lunch-time alarm.

How long will this go on?

Loot Ninja

I was accused of being one, just because during my first dungeon raid everything happened so fast I took something and didn't have a chance to check it; in the end, I did like the item, and now wear it though.

Helicobacter pylori

So, today I had blood and breath samples taken to see if I got these little buggers...

Not that the test result will be conclusive in any aspect of my life, but at least I'll be able to tell if I have them or not.

:(

Everything I did this weekend, everything that happened in the world is meaningless now.

There was a guy breaking trash bags on the street on the way to work today to eat other people's trash, and a guy camping in a bus stop when I went to lunch.

What is happening in this country?

Day 4

Still progressing on the quests and trying to choose talents and professions I want.

Now you can see my character here.

PS. I still got the same logging problems, updating BIOS and video codecs didn't work.

Day 3

I still got the same problem with the game, and it seems that the solution is updating my BIOS.

Anyways, quests are getting harder now because the items I'm required to collect aren't dropped as common as before. I also got my first glimpse of a major city; the damned guys promoting their items for sale flood the general chat, gotta find the in-game option to ignore them.

Day 2

So, I still got the same login problems...

On the bright side, quests are starting to get more developed with more interesting objectives and storyline.

And I also got into my first party; it wasn't anything special, but it proved that there are n00bs everywhere... our warrior was an idiot who didn't follow the basic strategy of: spellcasters lure the mobs.

In other news, I want this!

Day 1

I arrived home very excited about FINALLY playing WoW, and to my surprise, the game started normally, but there was a problem seeing my character playing. I posted my problem in the official forums, but unfortunately the customer service person was already gone.

First of all, a game that is played 24/7 SHOULD have a 24/7 customer service!

Anyways, the game managed to fix itself somehow, and I managed to play.

The starting quests were the usual: kill harmless animals and collect items to report back. Only when I reached level 5 I was asked to kill intelligent warfaring beings, and to help another NPC.

Unlike ANY other 3D MMORPG I've played so far, the game NEVER lagged at all to me, which is a considerable plus, on the down side, I only saw 1 other player once riding his mount in the distance, and the dead bodies of 3 other players, which is a down... MMORPGs are not fun if there's no one online... maybe its because I'm in a starting zone, and only n00bs like me roam there...

Lok'tar ogar!

Finally today I will start WoW.

No idea if I'll ever see the sunlight again...
