World Of Warcraft

When I hear people saying that they play World of Warcraft, the only thing that comes to mind is "why?". Why pay for the game, then have to pay a subscription to play each month. Maybe I could understand if it was like $4-$5 /month "maybe". However its like $15. Forget that, I will go play GuildWars that has only a one time buy the game fee.

Then, the other day I here WoW is giving away free 10-day trial accounts. So I decided why not see what all the hype is about. I downloaded it (over 2 gigs) so it took a little while. Then I run it and it has to download a small 3 meg update. No big deal. Well they run off what seems to be torrents, and it took about 20 minutes for the download to start working.

I finally get in game, setup my character and move into the realm (which took forever of me choosing which realm. most seemed to be maxed out). I move around, figure out the controls and what not and decide to take on a wolf. Easy piece of cake killed it no biggy. After wandering around for a while I got extremely bored. I MEAN BOOOORRRREEEDDD!!!. The coolest part of that game I found was that you can run and jump. Other than that I don't see why people just don't play GuildWars instead. At least in GW you can't run through guys/animals which makes it a lot more challenging than WoW. While graphics wise WoW were about the same, both quite good, the level seemed to blah. It was a Anarchy Online level. You walk around and see the same stuff you would in any other game. The detail in GW is a lot better than WoW could ever bother to achieve.

So I leave Blizzard with these final words. Drop WoW and release Starcraft: Ghost already.

Great Sony Article

I will just put it right out there. I don't like SONY. Two main reasons

a. Installed a rootkit on your computer (a couple years back). (that was cool when it came stumbling down)
b. They are like Apple once was. "Our hardware is the greatest. Nobody else in our competition will use it" (PPC instead of x86)

They have the cell processor which is probably bad ass. However, if I remember correctly, the cache and memory speeds were absolutely horrible for it. (haha suckers)

So in essence, this blog post was to point you to >> TheBestPageInTheUniverse.net (SONY Article) which sums it up pretty well. It also includes a pretty disturbing animation of SONY crapping on its fans.

2 for 3

The voting results are in.. and I was 2 for 3 of the things I found important. My man Fred Upton won by quite a bit. Also the banning of affirmative action in some areas also passed. Unfortunately Jennifer Granholm won (Democrat). Personally I think that if we didn't have this 2 party (the major ones) system Dick DeVos would have won. However since he is a Republican and so is GWB he got screwed.

2/3 isn't bad I guess...

First time voting!

So today was my first time voting since I just turned 18 a few months ago. It was a lot easier than I thought.. w00t!

I always gotta vote for Congressmen Fred Upton. He has helped out my dad majorly so he has earned my respect there. Also, he is the only one I have seen that has ran a clean campaign. The commercials I here are not about how his opponents f***ed up, but what he has done and why we should re-elect him. That my friends, is a true campaign and earns even more respect.

As for Governor here in Michigan, I voted for Dick DeVos. Jennifer Granholm in my opinion has not done a good job and needs to go. 1. She claims to be the reason Google is opening another spot here in Michigan, when in reality, its because one of the founders grew up in Michigan. 2. She vetoed a bill that would keep people from being on welfare for a lifetime. Now I am not against welfare by any means. If a person/family really needs it, then there is no problem there. What I get pissed about is the people who live off welfare because they are to lazy to get there fat ass off the couch and get a job, or abuse it. I have seen many times someone goes in and buys a 12-pack of pop on food stamps. They walk outside open it up and dump all the pop out. Once they do that, they take the cans back in for the 10c return on each one. So they spend $5 of tax payer money to get $1.20 in cash to buy drugs or some other stuff... Talk about low life.. Dick DeVos if he wins will be curing this problem. 4 years is plenty enough time to find a job so I support him.
