World Of Warcraft, Books, and some exciting Christmas cheer!

I'm currently in the process of downloading World Of Warcraft again, and this time I have a tonne of time to spend on it, so maybe I'll get somewhere.

We meet again, download client..

Incidentally, I've almost finished reading Mogworld, by Yahtzee Croshaw. 

In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's been dead for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all.
On his side, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's up against tough odds: angry mobs of adventurers, a body falling apart at the seams and a team of programmers racing a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI.

It's been an awesome read so far, and the ending is looking promising. The story unfolds really well, with believable characters, and great humour. I've never laughed this loud at a book before, ever. I really suggest giving this one a read, it's awesome.


But, back to World Of Warcraft! I'm not sure what type of character I'm going to roll yet, but I'm getting sick of being the support class in every RPG I've ever touched, so I'm going to try something a bit more on the "I'm going to tear out your spine and hit you to death with it' end of the spectrum.
Considering the expansions are super cheap now, it's looking tempting to actually play WoW properly. It might end up getting pushed to the side by EVE, though, which I plan on playing a lot of after Christmas.

So if you play either, and you want to play them with me (remembering that my character's going to be sparkling and new in WoW, and I haven't played EVE in a bit) drop me a message!

I can win this!

I just thought someone might want to see this.

Simply because.

Anyways, I have something I actually wanna mention.

A while ago I got some private message on Youtube, from a band (it happens a lot, you guys probably notice it a lot), and they simply titled it "<3 from italy".

They're actually insanely bad ass. Check them out:

Here's a link to their channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/readysetfallchannel

I'm going to actually finish recording a song during the Summer holidays, by the way.

A new video and Google+!

Howdy!

I went camping over the weekend, just for one night, and I filmed the first day plus video of my family leaving! Here's the product of about 50 minutes of editing:

I Went Camping!

We went to a little private camping spot in Oberon, that some friends own! Overall it was pretty enjoyable.

But anywho, in other news, I'm now on Google+! I've been giving out some invites to some friends, so if anyone wants one, you can go ahead and comment and you might get lucky. I'm enjoying it so far, and I really like the idea of the circles, it gives it a more personalized feel and sharing things with people is a lot better, when you know which circle will appreciate it more (for example: grandma won't enjoy that picture of you making out with a dog while drunk, as much as your drinking buddies might).

That's all for now, sorry for the lack of writing, I'm kind of tired.

Back.

Sorry for that long pause, guys (I don't know who I'm talking to at this point).

I got a little caught up on things to blog about, seeing as my Linux life was boring. Windows is running again and things are back to normal. I've gotten back to work on my Gmod gamemode, and right now I'm just making some basic framework.

Two teams, loadouts, and a few menus. From there, I'll move onto the more complex stuff, like setting up the different classes and maybe an in-game jukebox.

Mmm! Painstakingly slow UI creation!

In other news, my band is progressing nicely. I do believe we should be able to record very soon! That should mean at least a single shall be released. Look out for that, because I am amazing and you know you want to hear my sweet, sweet music.

Until next time, dudes!

Nostalgia... Mm...

So I'm currently playing some Warcraft 3! One of the few games that runs with ease on Linux at the moment, I'm going to try some others later... I'm sticking to some of the classics, because they're more likely to run.

Gooey nostalgia!

I'm going to try and pull an all nighter, without caffeine... Or I'll make some tea, who knows?

Amazingly, I don't mind playing some of these old games, it's really started to remind me of how much games have changed over the years. It's especially reminded me of how many carbon copies there are out there! I think next I'm going to go for something a little newer. The old WH40K maybe? After that, I'm going to try and get Battlefield 2 to run! Tonight should be fun!

EDIT (9:58 PM): So it seems that Battlefield bugs out, because of the graphics. I'm working on finding a fix, should have it working soon, if not I'll find another game.

A quick update on my gamemode:

I've hit a bump in the road, with my Windows partition breaking. I can't test it, and all my friends that own Gmod are lazy/not in the same timezone. Really sucky, but I'll get around it somehow! If anyone would like to help with simple tests, just to see if the UI and such works, please let me know.

I'm still alive!

THANKS FOR NOTHING, JESUS!

The End Is Nigh!

So yeah, I'm waiting until 12:01 AM, in order to survive the end of the world.

Judgement day is apparently at hand, and I intend to greet Jesus (and his sword mouth) with a cold glass of water.

Expect two videos on my channel. One for 12:01 AM and another later in the day, when I'm celebrating either the apocalypse or the other thing... Y'know. The not apocalypse thing...

Bring it on, Jesus!

I'm just now deciding the soundtrack for judgement day; I believe at 10 to 12, I'll play something amazing.

Happy Judgement Day, 2011 guys!
