People

People often wonder ‘why am I alive’ and ‘what’s the point in life’. I think the truth is, people aren’t intended to live. They certainly don’t deserve it.

What use has come of the human race in the last hundred years? They have invented more violent and effiecient ways to kill each other, and destroy the planet they live on. People nowdays are interested in nothing more than self gain, what are peoples goals in life? They want to become rich and/or famous so they can attempt to prove that thier existance isn’t just a piece of shit. They desperately scrabble up a tower of garbage, willing to do anything to be at the top, whilst using others as stepping stones and pulling those ahead of them down.

Everyday when I wake up, what do I have to look foward to? Working for people who don’t appreciate the amount of effort I put in? Playing or waiting for a stupid video game or movie? Talking and playing with my friends? Yeah, I guess the last of those things has merit. Shame that most people highly undervalue thier friends and don’t realise that the only ‘real’ enjoyment you can get out of life is from laughing with them.

I’ve no doubt that in thousands, perhaps hundreds, or even less, years. Humans will render Earth entirely uninhabitable, naturally at this point they’ll concieve a way to live elsewhere, but eventually, destroy that place too. Funny that.

It irritates me when I’m reminded of all this, as although I am quite clearly aware of it, it’s not a pleasant thing TO be aware OF. I much prefer when I can stupidly live my life like everyone else, blissfully ignoring the bad points and looking fowards to that new song, or book, or movie. What DID make me once again think of this, was my Sister having her house broken into whilst she was there alone, robbed of all her possesions, threatened, and attacked with a knife. She’s not seriously injured luckily, but I imagine things like that leave deeper scars on your mind, then your body.

And no, don’t worry, I’m not an emo. I don’t feel the need to wear my hair like a retard and listen to Linkin Park, nor do I feel any particular urge to jab myself with a sharp instrument. Emo people can go kill themselves for real as far as I’m concerned.

I’m sure I’ll be fine and dandy by my next post, back to complaining about silly things.

Mini Lul

As usual, the amazing balance of World of Warcraft astounds me.

So I’m running around Eye of the Storm, and I encounter:

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Turalyon&n=Moonslam

469 spell damage, 7.5k health, 21 resilience non SL/SL lock who backpedals, clicks and so forth. Compared to my 85 shadow resistance, 364 resilience, 10k health and mana and 626 spell damage. It cost me like 70% of my mana to beat this person because they were literally able to out-heal my damage by spamming drain life. Now, I’m not really expecting to do amazing damage as a Holy paladin, but I do expect to out damage a spell that ‘Transfers 108 health every 1 sec from the target to the caster. Lasts 5 sec.’ Supposedly benefits from 71% of your spell damage, AND a further 20% healing from fel armor. So with 469 damage, which is crap. You’re healing for like 500 a tick. Do the math, 425 mana for a 500 ticking heal VS Flash of Light, which heals for about 500 base, 1.5 sec cast, 180 mana cost. The main difference being of course, that I can’t also DoT somebody up with siphon life for further self healing, life-tap to get mana back, keep opponents locked down with fear spam, and eat thier buffs and silence them with fel hound. Why bother having any other class other than Warlocks? They can tank fine if they’re SL/SL, they can DPS better than mages thanks to thier mana effiency, they can self-heal fine, and have more survivibility than disc priests. PRETTY good that. :|

Bah.

SIGH. I just looked at that persons talent points, PRETTY GOOD CHOICES THERE M8EY.

Video invasion

Holy moly! Escape from Oggrimar is coming out Decembre 31.. THIS YEAR. For those of you who don’t know, Escape from Oggrimar is the sequel to Illegal Danish, part of the Zinwrath series of WoW machinima movies, it’s hard to explain how funny and awesome they are, so I’ll just show you, trust me, it’s worth watching.

Part 1 of Zinwrath (not amazingly funny, but an uh.. important start?)

Part 2 of Zinwrath (AWESOME)

Illegal Danish: Super Snacks (Even awesomer)

Trailer for Illegal Danish 2

Well, here’s 2 trailers for an upcoming machinima that, quite frankly, has crazy-good looking action scenes.

The movie

For a long while I’ve considered making a WoW PvP movie, I made one back at 60, but it was at a time when.. to be brutally honest, I wasn’t at my ‘peak’ of skill, and let’s face it, Retri paladins were more or less just auto attack +SoC.

Now at 70, I’m re-considering making a PvP movie, in fairness the only thing holding me back is my computers crappyness, I can record alright I guess, I just need to move the resolution down (I run WoW in 1650×1050 on top settings, averaging 40 FPS) and put it on bottom settings. The other thing actually, is editing, but meh, I’m not really too bothered about lolsuperediting. So in reality, all I’m waiting for is the gear, sure I could make one with my current gear, but being beaten by somebody ‘cos I have no resilience is hardly fun to watch.

Holy shouldn’t take me long to finish gearing up at all thanks to my awesome arena teams, so then I’ll hit retri again and record some duels, battlegrounds, and maybe a few arenas. I could always try recording some arenas as Holy too, but I frankly don’t want to risk the framerate drop, perhaps I can get one of my other members to film some, Healing PoV is freaking boring anyway.

I’ve always wanted to have something that I can link to people as like, backup to my claims, as I do claim to know alot about Paladins and be fairly good as a Ret paladin. I would rate myself higher than 90% of the ret paladin videos I watch, and in all honesty I’ve yet to meet a good Ret paladin in battlegrounds or arenas. Cromer and Zalgradis from Al’alkir are both pretty darn good, Jamaz was great back in the day. 

Well, watch this space.. for a few months.

Good thing too is heh, all the people I’d be duelling are amazing players, so It won’t just be me getting 10000000000 crits on green geared people in battlegrounds whilst Soil, Disturbed, Rammstein <insert generic pvp muzak> plays in the background :]

Ciao for now, and Happy Christmas to the sane people who celebrate it actually ON the 25th.

Merry releases

Happy Christmas to those Norway dwelling people. And like.. tomorow or whenever for the rest of you more or less.

Bleach 304

Naruto 383

Bleach 153 is out. I was hibernating and missed it!

Horror

Looks like Kubo Taito and Kishimoto (authors of Bleach and Naruto) certainly like to get into the festive mood, how you ask? Bleach’s latest issue (spoilers btw) has the enemy they are facing ‘impregnant’ one of the females, and then he is reborn, in an ability called something along the lines of Gabriel, Annunciation, something related to Christian junk heh.. In Naruto (again, spoilers) Jiraiya just dies even more, and thinks to himself about writing the sequel to his book, Uzumaki Naruto.. which is sort of.. christmassy.. kinda.

The latest episodes of each are.. hmm, I shall comment more on Naruto after I finished watching it if need be, Bleach however, was so-so. The most important aspect about Bleach 153 is that it showed several very interesting facts about the 2nd Bleach movie:

-Almost all the vice captains are making an appearance

-Yamamoto and Shunshui are both seen fighting.. potentially.

-Hisagi (Tosen’s old vice captain) is shown releasing his zanpakto, something we’ve not seen in anime or manga, new stuff ftw.

-Zaraki hits stuff.

The last is clearly the most important.

Oh right, one good thing about a Naruto episode (R U SRS??) springs to mind.. heh. Naruto delivered one HELL of a falcon punch to Orochimaru, (knocked off a bridge and like half a mile through a forest? Not as good as blowing up a planet, but it works.) it raised my opinion of him by a factor of 15% .. now if he’d stop obsessing over Sasuke..

OM NOM NOM

MEOW

MEOW

MEOW

FALCON PUNCH, OM NOM NOM I TAKE YOU AWAY.

Oh my..

I hope this is true.

YES! ROW, ROW, FIGHT THE POWER.

We can’t reflect this many illegal immigrants with just one flag!

THEN WE’LL MAKE MORE..

GIGA… BRITANNIA… MAXIMUMMU!

Aside from that.. so many potential awesome things. I’ll have more to say on this tomorow.

Don’t believe in you, believe in your country that believes in you.

Releases

Stuff is out!

Bleach 152

Naruto 382

Bleach Special 15

Nothing..actually something.

Corocoro didn’t reveal anything new character wise for Smash Bros. Oh well, I can’t really say I was expecting it.

However, there have been 30 ‘cards’ revealed, each of which is supposedly a character, with Pokemon Trainer’s 3 pokemon each taking up one card. I don’t know if that’s 30 ontop of our current ones or what, it’s a tad confusing tbh. As 30 would mean that there’s 2 new characters minimum, or 4 if you discount PT.. Yeah.

So in the end this thing only served to confuse me further. Great.

Update: It took them the best part of 3 years, but finally Blizzard managed it (correcting people is a serious offense)
