Oh well

Im out of the IMBC, forgot to post yesterday, was too busy staying 30-0 in Counter Strike Source Gun Game to post. oh well, it was fun, and just to clarify, Tim, i won the year before last, tied w/ Full Absolution, and last year i was in the top 3 i think. better luck next year i guess. Thats all i have, gonna go download all the new addons i need for wow, finally got it reinstalled on my computer (been playing on my macbook) and i just need to get the mods, nothing fancy, just titan(ammo, $, bag, xp(alts) cal), one bag(all bags open as one) Omen2(threat meter) Recount (dmg meter, omen can do it, but i like recount for instance/raid totals) Auctioneer, Informant(i think it comes with Auc. but im not sure, gives enhanced tooltips about items) Cartographer (better map, instance/raid maps( i need a better one for some raids) and it does notes for places on the map as well as waypoints) Thats about all the addons i use, oh, i use capping to tell me things when im in BGs, flag holder, capture times, win times, start times, etc) Im also going to try this one, i think its called bongos, just adds sizeable action bars, i need more room for INC tells in BG, and for other things.

IMBC 16

Not much going on, just waiting for World of Warcraft to finsh downloading, right now its at 84%, so ill probably be able to play on my desktop sometime late tonight or tomorrow. In the mean time, im going to write this, do my introduction for my psycholgy class, figure out what i need to do for my plot summary in the popular lit class, and find out what book is next, and get a head start on reading it. For a bit, i was super worried about it, but i figure that if i do well on every other assignment (not hard) ill do fine, im trying to keep my A average, which is nice, and for me kind of surprising, so im trying to keep it that way.

Not much else going on, i can’t wait for both my guitar hero 3 to come in as well as the root beer bawls, which later on, after it gets in, ill post a bit about it, and how good it is, and how you should all go out and get some.

Everything else is the same from the last post, i guess one more person is out of the IMBC now, its surprising, this short amount of time into the IMBC, and now there are just 10 people left, it will be interesting to see if anyone (besides me of course, lol) are still around at the end of the month, making a prediction here, i wouldn’t be surprised, if there were only 2-3 people left at the end of this month, i think those people would be me, tim, amy, and maybe one of the new people. I can’t wait to see.

I really don’t have anything else to talk about, im pretty bored, and im thinking about going on, and playing some gun game, if my computer can handle it, running the wow downloader thing and counter stike, oh, and i guess the wow downloader is now up to 85%, slowly but (hopefully) surely. Class was good today, talked about the moral law and moral agent of some guy, it was pretty interesting, id get my notes and talk about exactly what was going on, but im too lazy right now. Unfortunantly, that i guy i have been talking about didn’t speek up at all today, not even before class, it was sad, no fun that day.

Topic of the Day : Disgusting

I don’t really know what to say about disgusting, all the people that smoke right by the bus stop covered thing, when there are 3 really big signs that say no smoking, especially when i have a sinus cold thing. Thats all i can really think of right now, thats the main thing thats in my mind, there were a bunch of people at the bus stop smoking (i have no problem if they choose to) but when it says no smoking within 50 feet or w/e, that means no smoking, standing outside the covered thing isn’t 50 feet, thats 5 inches, its kind of funny to hear some of them talk, they chain smoke at the bus stop and wonder why they have lung problems( again, im not making fun of those of you who smoke, some people are just funny like that) personally i don’t understand why anyone smokes, someone who does tell me why you started, i mean, really what benefit does smoking have.

Thats all for now,

Bye

IMBC 15

Not much new going on, slept pretty well, despite waking up a dozen or so times throughout the night. I also made the mistake of turning off the light to rest better, i slept through the rest of monday missing the deadline for the 2nd book test, whats worse, i was really getting into the book, it was really easy for me to read, oh well, ill definitly do better next time. My psychology class just started up, so im going to post my introduction pretty soon, probably when im on campus ill do it on my laptop in the cafateria. Thats pretty much it involving school. I finally got a version of windows that works, my friend, had a copy, and just dropped it off at my house, its a nice version, all my drives were automatically detected when i installed it, and it was really easy to get the drivers up, and my computer back to how i like it. I just need to install a few more programs that i use everyonce and a while, like open office, what happens is i usually just use the portable version i have on my pen drive, and just save everything to that, but i would like to have the full version on my computer. I also need to reinstall World of Warcraft, which i might end up putting on my 2nd drive, just so if this happens again, i just need to recopy the shortcut, and im good to go. I have Counter Stike Source, and vent up so tomorrow, ill be able to do something while i wait for wow to get done, which i might start up just as i leave for school, so it won’t be affecting my game play, not that it really matters, im always lagged out at home, so more lag wouldn’t make a difference.

Not much has been going on in WoW, despite having it not on my computer any more i did play some on my laptop, but i didn’t get anything done. I need to start doing all the dailies i can do on my main, he has under 100g, and i need to get that up, just so i can finance my other characters(which i shouldn’t, but i do anyways) im also thinking of making a twink and going pro with it, not just staying at 19, with good gear, im talking, the best gear a lvl 19 rogue can get, with all the best enchants, though since my shaman is higher i might just take him to 29, have the wolf thing, make it easier to run flags, but idk, i haven’t decided if im even going to be doing a twink, it just takes so much time, and to do it right takes a lot of gold to buy runs, and get the good enchants.

ToD: People met on public transit

Ive met some pretty interesting people while on the bus, some crazies, and some clients for my dj business. Its always interesting when i ride the bus, i see some pretty wierd people. There are also some people who i talk with on a regular basis simply because we ride the bus from BCC to issaquah everyday at the same time, and there are some people that everyone seems to have heard of, like this one guy who might be a bit crazy, but jumps around all over the place listening to some type of music, but he won’t let you see his face, if you make eye contact, he’ll pull his cd player in front of his face.

Thats all i have for now, i need to get ready for school, get my laptop in the bag, and everything from my normal bag into my laptop bag, so i can use it at school. I also need to figure out what book we are reading next for my english class, and get that out of the bag from the bookstore, and start reading that, just so i have a head start, im a slow reader, so i guess its good that i take more time than the 3 days given, and yes i could read the book in that time, i just can’t see myself sitting there for the hours it would take to read the entire book in one sitting or over 3-4 sittings, for me i like to read a few chapters now, several later, and so on.

IMBC 14

Not much new going on, just got back from school and lunch at the mongolian grill, it was pretty good, had the usual, the yellowish noodles, beef, green peppers, some corn, lots of pineapple, and some sweet and sour sauce. School was fine, the guy who kept talking all this random crap wasn’t here again, i think he might have dropped the class, and that makes me sad, it was so funny when he tried to tell us how blind people are really blind, no i mean they can’t see, and when they try and use the cross walk they are blind too. I don’t know where he gets all this stuff but its funny

Now that im home, i just need to find my xp cd so i can reinstall windows, i was using my friends 64bit edition for a lan party i went to, but now the 30 days are up, and i need to get mine back, problem is, i can’t find the disk, so i need to do some hard looking for it, so i can get everything back up and running for when guitar hero 3 comes in, on Wednesday, along with my root beer bawls. I also want to get back into playing CSS gun game, which has been what i have been doing a lot lately, i also want to get back into wow on my computer rather than my laptop which im on now.

Thats all i have for now, just need to find that disc, reinstall, get the basics up and get gaming, i also need to continue reading the murder of roger ackroyd and take the test by 11pm tonight. Also tonight im going to get back into watching the shows i like, scrubs, how its made, rick steves, and the others, which for the past few weeks have been missed due to playing CSS & WoW as soon as i get home or after i fall asleep, and have already missed the shows, plus im back on a normal schedule (for now) and that will help in preventing me from missing those shows, though soon i wont have to worry, im making my old computer into a DVR, so i can just record those shows and watch them when i have the time to do so.

Thats all, bye

Thats cutting it close for me, topic of the day: drugs

I don’t do the bad ones(though i suppose in some contexts they are all bad) but you know what im talking about, had plent of chances to do them but i never wanted to, thats just how it is i guess for me, i could push myself to do them, but in the end there will always be that voice saying what are you going to gain from this, i know you get the good feeling for a while, but then you come down, and its back to normal, and then you want more and more and then you die, i don’t want that happening any time soon, so i just stay away, and let others who really want to do them, do them.

Thats better, bye again.

IMBC 13

ToD: Super Powers

Just thinking about it now, i can’t come up with any that id really like to have, or atleast i can’t come up with reasons why, i guess flying would be cool, like the druid flight form, that would be sweet, jump off a building switch, and fly away, and then right before it get hit by another bird flying around, be tossed into combat, and fall to your death, lol. Night vision, not really a superpower, but night vision, like having goggles, but without the weight of the goggles themselves, and having it run forever, and be able to just turn them on with the thought. Those are the only ones i can come up with there are obviously others, that i can think of, but i don’t have reasons for them so i won’t post about them

Off to play some CSS Gun Game, with a friend.

Im back, at first, i hated playing gun game, thought it was stupid, but now after playing for a while it has gotten more and more fun with each round. IF you don’t know what GG is, basically it is a mod for CSS, and you play like a normal match except, each kill(at least on the WS servers) you get a new gun, and you continue on, you lose a level if you get knifed, and FF is turned on, so that addded what i didn’t really like about it, not that i constantly TK, its just that when im low on health, i tend to just spray, so if i kill one guy, and im low, chances are that i will spray the next guy i see unless it shows blue, or red if im on T.  Im also trying to join the WS group, they seem to be really cool people to play with.

Not much else going on, when i get this done, i need to hook up my AC unit to the window so i can use something other than just the fan, and keep my room cold even with the computer on. Im also going to order Guitar Hero 3 for PC, so i can start playing GH again, and then i need to get these mana vials, which are just some lquid with a bunch of caffine in them, like 151ml, with 160mg of caffine in them. I also might buy a case of Bawls’ new root beer, actually im going to buy them, get two things of caffine in one order will be nice when they come in. I also will pick up some more of the space food ice cream they have, i ordered some a while ago and it was really good.

Thats all for now, bye

IMBC 12

So the mini lan party went pretty well, which will lead into what i have to say for today’s topic of the day:latest thing to piss me off:

I have nothing against Halo, I even had some fun playing it, but when a lan party is supposed to be WoW, i hate it when the majority of the time, people are playing Halo. It was pretty stupid, we were all talking like this would be a night full of wow, and it ended up being a night full of halo, up until 2am, and then we did play WoW, but then around 6am, they started to play halo again. Then, they were all bitching how im not being real group like, and leveling on my own, when i should wait for them, but they did the same thing back when we were just starting out, i had to get some sleep one night around 9pm, because i was so tired, but they continued to play, and got to around 18 or so, and im just catching up. Whatever, still got to 20 on my pally, and got about 2k honor on my main, and worked on my mage’s herb/alc, and leveled my warrior a bit.

Not much else going on, i just got up, so im still a bit drowsy, but im up. After i post this though i think im going to lie back down and watch some tv, while i begin to fully get up. After that, then im going to get my computer out of the car, and set it up so i can get back into the game for tomorrow night, where i hope we can run through a few instances, or atleast a few instance runs. Another thing that is pissing me off is the way that the two people i have talked about in previous posts about thinking they know all about the paladin, and maybe im wrong, but i always thought a tank needed stamina, but lol, i guess im wrong about that, i guess pallys just need strength and intellect, i don’t know, lol, despite what they say, im still going to use the 3, strength, stamina, and intellect. I hate being mana dependent, but ill give it a try, it has been pretty fun so far, and the two that have pallys say that it will get a lot more fun later on as i get more spells which reminds me, i need to go the the pally trainer to get my level 20 spells which i think means i guess that ground AoE thing, that should be fun.

Not much else going on, not doing anything more this weekend, i was going to go to another lan party and this one is guarenteed to be just wow, but im think ill still be tired, and not end up going, oh well, the friend that is putting it one says they do them all the time, so there will be plenty for me to go to, i think he said something like every sunday around 2, which works really well for me, so when i do go it should be cool.

Ok, well thats enough for now, now im going to check my email, and then lay down to continue to wake up while watching some tv.

Bye

IMBC 11

Im going to start out with the topic of the day.

ToD: Your Job

My job is being a mobile dj/sound engineer. I own my own company DJ Bigman’s Mobile DJ Service, and basically what i do is dj parties & school dances as well as running sound for weddings and corporate events. I have a full PA system, as well as lights. Its pretty cool, working for myself, and i love doing it, dj’ing and all. Thats basically it, soon im going to change the name to something like DJ Bigman Productions, mainly because im not just a dj, i do other things, and i want the company name to reflect that. Im also considering becoming a LLC, just to deal with liability of things, i guess, im not sure yet. I have a website, you can check it out at djbigmanmobiledj.com.

Not much going on, just took down my computer and have it ready to take it over to my friend’s house for our little lan party, where we are going to mainly be playing WoW, but im going to make sure we get some Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike Source in. I have been getting a lot better at both games. In Counter Strike Source, i usually use the Awp, but when that is banned, or limited, i use the scout and take headshots down mid or B tunnels in Dust 2 as well as office, down that long hallway as either CT or T, doesn’t matter. I still do grab my favorite, the M249, and lay down that cover fire, lol, and no i don’t spray and pray, only when im flashed or smoked, gotten lucky headshots that way before. In TF2, i usually do either engineer and get massive amounts of kills on the custom map Mach4 with the turrets, i am also getting a lot better as a medic, and thats what i usually play, im also getting good with the sniper and as spy. Same with CSS, i am really good with the heavy, and when im with a medic, its just massive carnage.

With TF2 in mind, i heard of this BS thing they did with the latest patch, if 2 medics go uber or are uber at the same time, the time it takes for that uber to run out is greatly decreased, so having 3 medics go uber at the same time will make their uber wear out faster than if there were just one medic.

Same old same old in wow, nothing new going on, though i haven’t played any today, i just wanted to take a break before this weekend so i don’t get overly bored with the game, which happens a lot since it is now one of the main games i play in my free time, and when i make time for it. Thats one thing that differs i guess from gamers like me and the casual gamer. For me, part of my day is spent gaming, while with others, IF they have free time, they game. I make sure that i have atleast a few hours to play games each day, and not just when i have time, outside of the other things that i spend time doing.

Thats all that is really going on, there was a slight change of plans, so im not going over to my friends house until around 5:15 or so, so i have about a hour to do w/e, mainly posting this, because if i wait, it won’t get done, and i don’t want to be out of the IMBC so early, if im not the winner, i definitly will be one of the last people, maybe it will be a tie in june, like the year before last with Full Absolution (i can’t remember how its spelled, sry FA) and I. That was long and drawn out, but we finally did agree to just call it quits. I remember that year well because i think it was Hank’s mom or someone, bought (at least me) a light up mouse pad thing, im not sure what FA got, but i thought it was really cool. I guess i never really said it, but thanks Hank’s Mom (of who ever bought it) for the cool mouse pad, even now i still use it.

Thats all i have for now, i just got done patching wow on my laptop, so im going to check my mail and auctions on a few of my characters, and then check to see if i have everything and get them in the car to be ready to leave. Sorry, no picture again, i don’t have anything new, i think ill post something from this weekend in tomorrow’s post or something, idk.

Bye.

IMBC 10 - 4/10/08

Im going to stop naming my posts like that, im getting bored of it. Not much going on, just taking a break to eat dinner, write this post, and do a plot summary of the hound of the baskervilles, before i get back into wow. One of the main things i need to do is to figure out what toon i want to take to 70, normally the obvious choice is the one you have closest to 70 which would be my druid at 41, but im not too sure now. I do like my druid, but he has really bad gear, and its going to take a while to get all that gear updated, i think i just need to get a friend to run me through an instance a few times, maybe like 5 or so, and get all the gear from there, probably ZF and i maybe ST, im not sure the levels for those but w/e. I do like playing on both my mage and my shaman, but i am starting to really like my warrior. I think that im just going to for now, focus on the pally im doing for my static party, level with them, and see how it goes, plus my pally is kind of fun too, except for the mana dependency, which i am tired of, which is why i like my warrior.

Not much else going on, as i said, im working on my summary right now, i want to get that done, so i can just play wow, and then go to sleep without any worries about if i did everything i needed to. That reminds me, im finally back to a normal schedule, up at 6 or so, school, everything else, and to bed around 10, it works for me plus i get plenty of sleep and feel good when i wake up, rather than being super tired and trying to stay awake in class. The one bad thing, this weekend is going to screw that up pretty bad, im going to be up all night friday and into saturday, i do plan on leaving around 10 am or so on saturday, i really don’t want to be there all night and all day because it would just get boring, plus i would like to get some  sleep in this weekend.

Thats all i have for now, im going to get back to the summary, and then wow it up until maybe 9 and then sleep, im kind of tired even now, so i would be able to get asleep pretty quickly if i lied down. Another thing i need to do is hook up my AC unit in my room to the duct thing, and put that in my window so i can turn on the AC part of the unit that i just use the fan of right now. It still isn’t warm out side, but even when my comp is off, my room is still pretty warm, and i hate trying to sleep when my room is warm, i would rather sleep in a freezing cold room than a hot one.

ToD: Why IMBC

I signed up because its fun, i like to see how long i can hold out, and how others do as well. I won one year and want to begin a streak of wins that will go on forever, i want to be sitting here when im old and say i have been winning the imbc for 50+ years, what do you got on that. lol, that would be funny. Thats really it, i have fun doing it, and its cool to read what the others write about, and you talk with some cool people.

Thats all for now, cya

IMBC 9 - 4/9/08

Im surprised that Hank is out already, i was sure that he would have been in the top 3, maybe even beating me if i screwed up or something. From what i read, i guess his computer clock was slow, and unfortunantly found that out after posting too late.

So, I have to say that im glad i went to bed when i did, i think i fell asleep around 11:00 or so, and i just now woke up, and i feel great. Im also glad that i forced myself to stay up. I think the thing that worked was that i was at my computer the whole time, i didn’t lie down to watch tv or anything like that. I think now that im up im going to work on the characters my friends and i started last night, i think mines level 12, and so i think ill try and maybe get him to 14, or atleast 13, maybe even 15 if im luck and just grind those quests. Other than one quest, im fully in the ghostlands, the one i still have to do is this amani battle plans quest, you get the plans after killing this one named guy non elite, across the river from tor watha. I just need to turn that in at either fairbreeze village or farstrider retreat.

I didn’t do anything on any of my other character, other than get on my main to send some money to my new character, to buy gear and stuff. I really don’t like this paladin, not because hes not powerfull, or is pretty much unstoppable untill i run out of mana, its just that right there, i hate being dependent on mana, and of course my friends, are being little babies about me wanting to just get on my warrior, they say that since im a paladin, when we are grouping i will fill the role or main tank and main healer, at the same time. They say that since ive never played a pally, and since 2 of them have that i don’t know what im talking about when i say, in a group doing an instance, it doesn’t matter if the tank can heal others or not, the tank just tanks, and maybe after a fight goes and heals someone. I called BS, but they were being little bi**hes about it. I may not now fully what a paladin can do, but i do know that a tank, tanking mobs (several at once in some cases) is not going to stop tanking, waste mana to heal someone, and then go back to tanking, its not like a druid tank in bear form is going to switch to caster form to heal party members, and then switch back to bear and continue tanking. I know different class means different situations, but i know what im talking about so they should probably just stfu and gtfo. I don’t know why they keep complaining, its pretty much impossible to argue with the, they are like little kids who want their way no matter what. Maybe ill just cut their mains off from the financial support i give them all the time, when they need help, lol i should have done it sooner, but if they want to be noobs about the main tank also being the main healer, then they can say goodbye to any more money coming from my main. Oh, i guess ill list our party layout, my friend jeff is a hunter, john is a mage, matt is a rogue, and im a paladin, which im going to respec back to just prot, i know im only 12, with onle 3 pts in the talent tree, bu oh well. Its a good group i guess, and yes we are all blood elves, though im just going to work on my warrior and maybe they will come around and let me be warrior, i can’t stand being mana dependent again.

So firefox just failed, almost lost everything i guess it saved it here, i didn’t have much after this, just that i think im going to continue listening to this wow podcast i listen to and work on my pally a bit, other than that just need to get ready to leave for school in about an hour, and then before i do so i just need to check my online class to see what needs to get done, i think the only thing i have to do is a plot summary for the hound of the baskervilles, which is due on thrusday, and it only needs to be about a page and a half long, so it shouldn’t take too long, and i thinkill get some of it done before i play wow after i get back from school.

Thats all i have for now, i think im going to get some food, listen to that podcast, and play some wow, untill i have to leave for school

Cya

IMBC 8 - 4/8/08

Not much going on, this is going to be a quick post, im really tired, but want to get to the levels where i can run wailing caverns, my friends and i just started new characters, and are questing together to level up quicker. I started a paladin, and am going protection. It should be fun with the static party, then whenever we need to run an instance, we have a full group ready to go. Not much else going on, just playing wow almost non stop.

School has been good, just now finally getting some what back into the normal cycle of things. I stayed up all night last night and now i stayed up all day today, and will go to sleep tonight, and be back to normal. Philosophy was interesting today, this one guy was just yelling out all this random crap that no one could understand but the teacher kept trying to understand him, it was pretty entertaining. My lit class is going fine, didn’t do that well on the test, but thats fine that score will be dropped from the list.

Thats all that is really going on, im just trying to get this done quick here, i want to sleep, im really tired, 24+ hours up, i know i can stay up later, but i don’t want to, plus this weekend, im heading over to my friend’s house for a weekend of wow fun, im excited, well just be leveling our static party characters during this time, hopefully we’ll get a lot done, don’t know how far, but id say high 20’s if we don’t mess around, and just straight do the quests and what not.

After this, im going to continue to play, and soon go to bed, after i get firmly set in the quests i have for the ghostlands.

I don’t know what else to talk about, still waiting on some members of my guild to get ready to start running kara, and i need to start saving up honor now to get the neck piece, and some others to complete my epic gear set. Im also going to take a hard look at my alts and see which one i really want to work on, i have quite a few alts and i want to get that number down a bit, so i can focus better on the alts i do really want to take to 70

Thats all for now, bye
