Daily Blogg: Worth1000pictures

Oh ive been busy lately, so if you will forgive my tardyness i'll just get on with the blogg...


...ok i confess AriesAntics has taken a ride on the back burner for a few weeks as i've been working on a new project over at my shiny new freelance site located here on blogger

http://worth1000pictures.blogspot.com

Basically im fed up with just working through word of mouth so im taking it upon myself (in these difficult finical times) to expand my business range and give myself some well deserved free advertising.
So i've had some business cards printed up (ooh!) got a somewhat professional website started (aaah!) and intend to publish some short storys and poetry there as a way of showcasing my work.

so if you feel like giving it a look you now know where it is.

Daily Blogg: BREWFEST!!

Ah my poor little avatars head must be pounding because for the last few days hes been drinking some of the strongest and most unusual brews in all of Azeroth because its that time of the year again.

Once again the Dwarfs of the world of warcraft drop there usual Scottish brogue for a more German tone and don there lederhosen to enact that most famous of the alcohol based holidays OCTOBERFEST!

so grab your ram pull on your leather short shorts and join us all in a drunken stupor as we celebrate the end of the summer and the beginning of harvest.

Daily Blogg: ...and thats why

Well Blizz you done it, you made me so sick of being squishy that im going back to my trusty Human Paladin, finishing leveling to 80....and Faction transferring to the Horde.

Oh wait did i tell you that i finally managed to get 7mbps out of BT?

no?

Well i did, for all of 11mins on Wednesday at 01.30am i was so shocked i actuality giggled... I'm a man looking down the barrel of my 30th birthday and i caught myself giggling and clapping like an idiot and STILL not getting my full service yet so damn happy that i have proof of my line capacity that im acting like its Christmas at one in the bloody morning.

oh well, i can now at least demand an off peak service comparable to this (around 6.5-7.0 Mbps) and feel like im not being an unreasonable jerk. Well thats my reasoning anyway despite knowing that im never gonna get it.

Daily Blogg: Well aint that a kick in the teeth...

The battle with BT continues...

...it appears im not exactly winning. For all intents and reasons beyond my control the indian chappys at "British Telecom" have somehow magically come to the conclusion that "up to 8MBps" is the same as saying "tough shit you can only have 4-6MBps and you can keep paying for the 8MBps service and like it!" despite my local service provider has my line speed clocked at a whopping 20MBps and the fact that i can throw quite a sizable stone and hit my local exchange, meaning that my line speed should be in the region of 16-20MBps with little or no line lag.

A complaint has been made, fuck em i want what the hell im paying for.

this deos however mean that until this is resolved im stuck to 4-6MBps Broadband, more than enough to play MMO's and browse comfortably but it still not what i am paying for...

more info as i get it.

Daily Blogg: Too much WoW?

Ok so its that time in the game again, im geared, im at the level cap and im bored out of my tiny mind...

As with all things repetition leads to monotony and after finding out that during my down time my guild Blessed has fallen apart my desire to play has wained somewhat.

so what do i do?

Well as with "wrath" and The burning crusade" before it im left the leveling doldrums until the next expansion hits the shelves. I feel now is the best time to relax, maby play some xbox and take a break from Raiding.

...meh...

Daily Blogg: cataclysm to hit Azeroth

Yes Blizzcon '09 happened, storeys were told, rumours were routed and panels were bombarded with the myriad miscellaneous query's and questions of the great unwashed.
All in all a good time was had by all.

So whats new then? Well basically there gonna blow up Azeroth...as in explode....destroy....mutilate....annihilate.

er yea I was shocked too. but this Cataclysmic event is to allow certain long awaited changes in the World of Warcraft. During these events however two new playable races have emerged from there hidey holes and joined one of the two factions vieing for the now distinctly limited resources of the now shattered world.

The are the Worgen (feral werewolve like creatures with an aptitude for magic) joining the Alliance and the Goblins (greedy little green dudes who run the airships) joining the Horde.

How this will play out im not sure and the exact story line is currently unpublished but rest assured as soon as i get some concrete info ill be posting it here.
