I have restarted to play World of Warcraft, once again. This would be my 5th time at going back to the blasted game...
and it has me thinking, why am I back playing this game?
Well for starters I bought the Burning crusade expansion pack, for I am the type of person, if there is an expansion pack out for a game and I don't have it, I can not play it, it feels as though I am missing out on something.. but that is a blog for another time...
Back to why to I keep coming back? Well I have thought and thought on the 'why and I have found the main reasons I keep coming back to World of Warcraft is the UI mods and Thottbot..
Also WoW has made the mmo thing much more easer to play and understand...
But if it wasn't for the fantastic UI mods and thottbot, I just don't think I could handle playing this game for more than a day or 2...
But this also brings the question, Why do I keep leaving World of Warcraft? Well the main reason be hind that is the community, it is absolutely horrid, it is the biggest downfall to the game, the people behind the characters have some serious issues they need to work out..
This doesn't go for all people, some people in the game are some of the best you will find anywhere in the world.. but it is the idiots that spoil it, and give it a tarnished game...
The other thing I hate is the 'Elite' quest and mobs.. Especially the roaming elite mobs.. but elite quest suck...
Oh and the grinding for gear.. I love new gear as much as anybody, but the coin you have to put up for it is just stupid, or the grinding you have to go through (most likley fucken elite mobs) is crazy...
..but that is just my opinion...
Lord of the Rings Online..
I have been in the BETA for LOTRO for some time now, and I feel it can be a good game..
The Game itself is good, but it feels as thought there is something missing...
Also, to me, it Doesn't feel like a Lord of the rings game... You read the books, you can feel it, you watch the movies, you can feel it, you play the Battle fro middle earth games, and you can feel it.. but in this game, LOTRO, that same feeling is just not there...
I think they should of made the game on after the events of the Lord of the rings story, instead of along side of it..
For running around collecting eggs, killing bears, doesn't feel real epic, like the story does, to me..
Lord of the Rings Online, is not a bad game, and it will have a few people following it...
I think it could of been so much better though, get rid of that missing feeling...
I won't be buying it when it is finished (even thought I have the founders package), I will wait and see if any updates or expansions help fill the game out...
Oh and on a side note the latest large patch in the Beta, was a bad one I think, even thought it did fix a lot of things up, there was a bit of unnecessary stuff put in to make the game even harder... Just my opinion..
If you can get in and try it before you buy it, I recommend doing so.. Make your on mind up, don't let others do it for you..
If your thinking about the game, open beta will be soon, so get ready for it and have a go.. you might like it, or you might not..

LOTR Online founders key...
A bit of a kufuffle has been happening on the LOTR Online forums of late, It is looking that Australian and New Zealand people where going to have a tough time getting the founders Package for Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar...
But I sort of came to the rescue, well for now at the moment, I found a good site where you can just buy the founders package, and don't have to pre-order the whole game to do so...
Well the site is onlinecdkey.com I got my pre-sale founders package from there, with no problems at all, and I will be looking into other keys/games and things from there as well... They also do paypal..
Happy gaming everyone....

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is Finished ???
Are they sure.. don't they need more time??? ....
Well it has been a while but now it has been said that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is Finished, and is off to the manufacturers....
WOW.. I don't know weather to get ready to rush out and buy it, or stand back a while and see how the gaming community reacts to it... yeah I might do that...
It's been in the making for a while now (around 7 years), so it will either be fully polished and be one of the best dam games out, or it has gone through so many changes, updates and such and be a good game filled with bugs, or it could be just bad... I think it will be the first one, but ya never know..
The PCPowerPlay team seam to think it will be a hit, and they haven't been to wrong before..
So where did I get this information from, well most of you reading this will most likely already know this news, but I read it at IGN.
"It finally happened. At an industry event in San Francisco, THQ announced GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was finally shipped to manufacturers for production, bringing a development cycle verging seven years to a close."

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series....
Have you seen the Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series by LittleKuriboh over at YouTube?
I think they are some of the funyiest Yu-Gi-Oh! parodies that I have seen...
I used to (still can) play the card game (sort of) and I have watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! cartoon series, which makes these parodies even funnier to me, but if you haven't seen the original series, you still might get a kick out of it, if you know a little about Yu-Gi-Oh it would help..
Check it out if you wish (start with episode1 and go from there): Click to go to LittleKuriboh's page

My eyes are bleeding
A lot of games today come with there game manual on CD, which means you have to put it in your CD drive and open it up and look as a screen to read it....This is a great way on saving paper.... and ink and such....But I hate it.. I like to have the game manual in a nice little booklet beside me In case I get stuck in a section or want to quickly refresh myself on some part of the game... Pick it up and flick through it.. I don't want to stop my game, have to load up a manual off a CD just to look at 3 or 4 sentences...
Yes I could print it out myself.. But it is not the same.....
Anyway.. Good on game companies with helping out the world a little by not using as much paper with the CD manuals and smaller boxes/plastic boxes.. (who knows what chemicals and shit go into making these things)....
I just like the little paper booklets better.....

To speek or not to speek
All these contacts I have on MSN, and many are online, then why am I not 'chatting to them.. They must be some one I want to talk to since I have them on the list....
I find no matter how badly I want to talk or chat to someone I am always waiting for them to Say Hi first..
What is worse is when Someone Does Say Hi and you say Hi back, maybe have 1 or 2 lines more of greetings then you get that 'awful silence' like you do if you where chatting face to face.. It is the same feeling...
We want to be with others, but when we are we don't know why???
Or is it just me....

Testing this stuff out!!
Just having a look at what this 'blog' thing does...
There are so many 'blogers' on the net these days, everybody shouting out for attention.....The Internet, just like the world if so full of things and stuff we don't need and shouldn't see or do....
But it is there..The basics of life are fading away so fast.. Should we hate our neighbour because he has that flash 'thing' that we want but don't have, should we hate them because what they believe and think of is different than us, should we hate them because they are there.....
We need to look past all of our differences and loot at each other as if we are looking at ourselves....The human race will never go forward no matter how much technology and power we have if we can't leave our barbaric past behind us and move forward as one planet, one species, one mind, not as one country/race/religion/ect...
