thank you baby arthas

'member the list of things i'd wish from blizzard for xmas. one of those wishes seems to be coming true.

Faction-Change Service in the Works

pardon me, i'm going to go cry tears of joy.

"the funk of 40,000 years"

thought i'd spend a minute or two and recall some childhood memories. like everyone else on the planet, i'm shocked at michael jackson's death. being a big fan of music and an in the closet musician, i was a fan in the musical sense. i have a few albums which i'll listen to in a blue moon but it's nothing to the fandom that i feel for my favorite bands like aerosmith and evanescense. to be the fan of his music that i am, i have to force myself to look past all of the bullshit and focus on his music. one of my favorite songs is, after all, 'smooth criminal'.

anyway, i do have a memory of michael jackson, sort of, that's stuck with me. when i was around six my sister's (they were in high school at the time) had a thriller viewmaster. i checked it out one day under one of my sister's supervision (yeah right) and it scared the living shit out of me.

i'll finish it one of these days

it's a "work in progress"

this is what i wake up to

father's day and i cashed in my 'go outside once a month' card... i'm kidding.. or am i?

anyway this is what i get to see every day. i live in the crappiest part of pennsylvania. there's nothing to do, no jobs, and the people are absolute assholes but man is it prettyful.

attack of the moronic professor!

i shouldn't post this but i am.. part of my schooling requires we post to our class forums atleast 3 times a week. once by wednesday at midnight and two more times by sunday.

the following was posted on THURSDAY... the names were removed to protect the stupid...

Professor 18 Jun 09 5:36 PM MST
Hope you all are enjoying your work with Unit 4 this week!

As usual, you should have posted at least once by the Wednesday deadline and then provide two other posts by the end of the unit.

Let me know if you have any questions at all. I am always here to help, so don't hesitate to ask.

Response from Student #1 18 Jun 09 6:47 PM MST
Boy, I sure hope I aint as far behind as you are, Professor. Easter has come and gone already!
Response from Professor 18 Jun 09 10:16 PM MST
Thanks for that clarification, (Student #1). Sorry for the confusion.
Response from Student #2 20 Jun 09 12:05 PM MST
I dont get it.

confusion.. a lot of that happens in this class. also to note, mr professor ends pretty much every post and email with the same "let me know if you have questions..." line. he will forever be known as mr copy & paste to me.

random ramblings #1

finally got a chance to check in with the guys on my team for the summer game competition. it is always tough to work on a project with others online. constantly communicating with everyone on the team is an important part. you'd think with all of the different chat programs around there wouldn't be communication barriers but there are. the toughest part is you don't have the physical real time contact like you would in an office or studio.

"does not compute"

nothing like some early morning idiocy to start your day.

i swear my character design professor is a robot.. a moronic copy & paste robot who can't answer questions with just a simple yes or no answer but instead copy and pastes cryptic responses to very simple questions.

busy and bored

just thought i'd post something to keep the dust off the blog. i'm kinda busy this week with mid term projects.

i also just joined a team for the college summer game design contest. i'll be putting my graphics skills to use while working with a team of students on a 2d game. not much else to say on that right now.

aerosmith is back on tour, i'm really excited about that but also pissed cause i don't think i'll be seeing them this time around. the last time i actually saw them in concert was around '97 during the nine lives tour. was an awesome show and my first real concert. i'd like to see them once more before i'm too old.. cause we all know aerosmith will be around way after i'm gone. ^A^

i created this for school last year but it is something that i am most proud of...

what i want from blizzard for xmas

dear blizzard's winter presents hander outer,

i been good this year and here is what i'd like for xmas

1. fix the size of gnomes while mounted.. too big
2. cow non-combat pets
3. cross faction character transfers
4. a better orb of deception... make 'em like the orb from mgt
5. no more ganking people who are 4 levels or more below you.. aka 80's can't gank 76 and lower.

kthx

pvp is bad for my health

i have been pvping a lot lately on my 80 gnome rogue. i haven't pvp'd in a long time but so far my opinion.. alliance still sucks. yeah yeah i could transfer to a different battlegroup and probably have a better time but i have too many friends on my current realm. i've been playing on the same realm since release.

to cure my hate yet still do some pvping i have always wanted to form a dedicated pvp group/guild on my realm. i have a few problems with this idea....

1. none of my friends are interested, they don't bother with pvp
2. i'm not too keen on starting a team with nothing but people i don't know
3. i REALLY wouldn't want to lead it

so what can i do? keep truckin away at this mess? reroll? transfer? quit cold turkey? the world may never know.

world of warcraft pvp

on this edition of thinkin' stupid...

oh i'm gonna have a whole slew of these types of posts cause the topic highly pisses me off.

i'm sure people are familiar with wow's warsong gulch battleground. well i play alliance and the players in my battleground are composed of 90% morons.

here's a common sense tips for wsg...

when the other team takes your flag, turn the hell around and look for the flag carrier. your number one priority in wsg should be to keep the other team from capturing your flag. its not hard to turn your focus away from your duel in mid field and look for the fc.

and most important: kill healers first.

wtf is a blog?

i got the idea for this from a classmate. i attend Westwood College Online, i'm a game art and design major. i figured it'd be cool to have a place where i can vent about any damn thing i want and to show off some of my school work.

i chose "thinkin' stupid" from a t-shirt i have. the saying on the back reads "i won't say you're stupid but i'm thinkin' it". it doesn't have a thing related to art but i like it. my shirt is compliments of http://www.bigdogs.com
