Long overdue update

Ok, I know I haven’t updated in a long time.  I really have no good excuse, I’ve just been slacking.  So what’s happened since May?

Well, we have been pretty busy.  We started raiding Icecrown Citadel and have been running it on a weekly basis now with a regular group for 10 man and have been pugging 25 man.  We still have a ways to go before we get up to The Lich King, but I’m confident we will eventually get there when our team builds up enough gear and experience.

Some more good news,  Theshat and I are going to Blizzcon 2010!    We got incredibly lucky thanks to Theshat’s quick finger on F5 and we got into the queue on the first day of tickets at around 700.  So in October look for us at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Also, Theshat and I did finish out [What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been] and got our [Violet Proto-Drake].  It was a tough ride though.  The hardest one to complete was [Torch Juggler].  Unfortunately I could not get a screenshot of that one because that one was bugged this year, and in order to reduce as much latency as possible I had to disable all of my addons, including the one that takes screenshots of achievements.

On a personal level, I finished an achievement I’ve been working on for quite some time:  [Mountain o' Mounts].  It was hard, really hard, but I finally did it tonight.

Well, it’s late,  and I need to get some sleep.  Maybe I’ll actually start keeping this blog up to date again.

Creative Labs World of Warcraft Headset (Wireless edition) – A review

By no means am I an expert audiophile, nor a sound engineer.  I am a gamer and entertainment enthusiast who likes the most realism he can get in sound.   This review is written as such.   If you’re looking for a professional reviewer, look elsewhere.  I will be as objective as possible.

Ever since it was announced last August, I’ve been anticipating the availability of the Creative Labs WoW headset.  Today, I finally received mine.      I ordered mine through Amazon.com on Thursday for a retail of $159.99, and after overnight shipping, it came to $181.95.  Your shipping cost may vary and tax of course, depending on where you live.

Love is in the Air, The Lunar Festival, and other achievements

Well, it’s that time of year again.  Love is in the air!  For the past week I’ve been working with my best friend on the latest world event.  We finished the meta-achievement [Fool For Love] yesterday.  We still haven’t had time to go after the holiday bosses due to some PC issues, but we’ll try soon.  Tomorrow starts yet another world event, overlapping for a week with Love is in the Air, called The Lunar Festival.  That will run for 3 weeks, and we’ll need it.  There’s a lot to do for the meta.  Getting all of the Elders honored is hard enough considering how many there are, but then to have to go into enemy territory to honor theirs is going to be a pain.

So, as you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve redone the site, and on the sidebar over there, I’ve added an armory feed of my latest achievements.  Last night,  I finally got the next step in [Got My Mind On My Money], at the 10,000 gold level.  It’s going to be one hell of a grind up to 25,000 gold.

Well, that’s all I have for the moment.  It’s time for some coffee.

Oops.

Never, never, NEVER drop your iPhone on a hard floor.  I’m glad I got the insurance.  I’ll be going out later this morning to get a replacement.

Death of the xbox 360….

Well it finally happened, after a year and a half, my xbox 360 got the fated red ring of death.  fortunately it’s under the special 3 year warranty for RROD, so I’m getting it fixed.  Gah, still sucks though.

OK, so, first official post

Well, ok, so I’ve set up yet another blog.  This time I hope I’ll be keeping up with things.  I don’t know if any of you will actually read it, but I’ll post anyway, just because I’m vain enough and to think someone might really read this tripe.
