Jay Talbot’s Ramblings

Yup! I’ve gone and joined the darkside and bought myself a shiny new 20″ iMac! What’s this mean? Well, not much to many people, but plenty to me.

First, let’s just say I’ve gotten sick and tired of the latest bullshit from Microsoft. Vista is a mess in every review I’ve read. Sure, you got some apologists out there who say it ain’t that bad; fuck’em. If they want a fully controlled environment, let’em have it. I don’t want functionality crippled in my computer that I paid good money for, just because a part manufacturer didn’t get a signed driver out. I’ve voted with my wallet, and I voted NO to the RIAA/MPAA restraints Microsoft installed in their latest and greatest OS. They can suck a fat donkey dong for all I care.

Heh, I know this isn’t new, but I feel it’s important to know what the Intarweb was really made for: PORN!

This past weekend, I took back a little piece of myself. I sat down Friday night at my computer, logged into WoW, and began playing. I set myself a goal, which was to hit level 54.

I hit 54 Friday night by grinding out in Eastern Plague Lands (EPL) for not only experience, but faction with Argent Dawn (AD). Let me tell ya, it’s not easy out there with the place constantly getting farmed by 60’s, but I got the right amount of kills for this deed of valor. AD has some really nice armor when you hit exhaulted, which I intend to do.

Via Digg I found this story about a man who had a hard time with a rare form of cancer. When all resources through official channels failed him, his WoW guild stepped up to pull him from financial disaster.

Holy crap! Now you see? Gamers are not all gun toting, maniacal individuals who go on killing sprees. Many of them are true and honest people who find a certain satisfaction in certain types of games. There is a type of community when it comes to online gameing. If you still don’t believe me after reading this story, you need to have your head examined because then you’re just lieing to yourself.

So now I’ve got my Hunter (read “main character”) up to level 33, almost 34, I’ve decided he’ll be my first 60 (or 70 with the next expansion). Yeah, I know I’m less likely to get a group outside of whatever guild I stick with, but oh well. That’s what alts are for. Speaking of alts….
