Guides
First of all, usually I'd blog daily. Occasional one-or-two-day-skip.
The simple reason being of why I'm starting to y'know, not come around anymore, is the simple fact that GameSpot is six feet under and Giantbomb ain't worth a damn when it comes for replacement. Sure, the sick obsession some had for emblems has been given a replacement; Points. Just as random, just as useless. But people love 'em.
The GameSpot Thing.
Gamespot's done. News, fine. It's led by CBS after all. Updates, fine. Reviews, all of their reviewers have felt a slow walk downhill into the fiery pits of hell since Gerstmann left, and I can't say that I really liked the fact that Kevin VanOrd was trying to mop it up by being both Alex Navarro and Jeff Gerstmann at the same time. Dressing up, wrong. Good reviews, biased as hell. Quality, meh. Timing, delays from 3 days to 4 weeks. But what really bothers me is the part "Community Website", it should be either;
- "Rules for the Community Website"
- "Bans-R-Us; come in, get bitchslapped, and get the hell out."
- "The proud website GameSpot, holder of the largest Terms of Service list since ' T.O.S for Queen Elizabeth II's Royal House of Windsor' ."
There's some moderators that I greatly respect. But there's a large number of power-tripping sons of bitches who I'd love to tear a new asshole.
Now for me, GameSpot was a great website, putting it's flaws aside. Mainly for the community part I was there.
Giantbomb came and it all split up into sides, and trying be at both didn't work. Giantbomb isn't solving one bit of the problem for me, and GameSpot's sinking further into the pool of shit it is in.
The World of Warcraft Thing.
I still don't play the game with a smile. Strangely enough, seeing as X-Fire notified me of passing the 100 hour milestone.
Why am I playing this game, still, months after months of saying "I just don't like it"?
See, whenever I set myself a goal. I stick to it. And that's currently to get a character to level 55, so that I won't waste 50 bucks.
I pre-ordered The Wrath of the Lich King, when I bought the WoW Battlechest from eBay. I figured I'd be enjoying the game so much that the expansion pack's worth buying. Now I'm on the fence with my thoughts, playing it for the sole reason that I bought the Limited Edition(What!? Free swag always takes my heart, man!).
Now, incase you don't know.
The Wrath of the Lich King is a expansion pack with a hefty requirement.
- You NEED one level 55 character, doesn't matter what race, class, anything. Or you simply won't be able of using the content. Perhaps, visiting the lands made for 70-79 characters as a 25-55 character, if that makes your suicidal mind buzz... I want to be able to play it like it's ment to be played.
Though, I'm throwing hours and hours of my life away. Hours I could've spend by watching TV, play the Xbox, socialize with random strangers, randomly call a buddy and take him out for food. Yeah, depressing thought, but makes sense eh? You're wasting time with everything.
Oh, and my character's name gives me some inspiration to play, and also the entire reason of why I am playing. Perhaps, the best nod to The Big Lebowski in a game?
The Movies Thing.
Still haven't seen The Dark Knight. Instead......
- Escape from New York(1981) - Thanks Erik, I remember watching the movie a long time ago...
- Escape from L.A(1996) - Exactly like Escape from New York, only then in L.A. I'd say, worth watching.
- Basic(2003) - Great, great movie.
- Independence Day(1996) - *stares blankly off to the Alien Destroyer...* What a movie, man. Impressive.
The PDF Thing.
I'm working on that one as we speak.
Well, another day, another blog. Catch you guys later.
