One Piece -- Chapter 700: His Pace & Episode 586: ''Big Trouble! Luffy Sinks into the Frozen Lake''

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:22:00 +0100

Time for some double coverage! Yep, that’s right. I am here to make up for me not covering neither the new Chapter of the Manga nor the new Episode of the Anime last week. So, long story short, here I go!

Chapter 700, titled “His Pace” (or “At his own Pace”), a new milestone in the History of the Manga. The News sweep over the World!

*Spoilers*

Doflamingo resigned both being Shichibukai and King of Dressrosa. This led to a huge impact in the New World. All the trade routes with Doflamingo have been disrupted. Deliveries of weapons to countries in war are no more. Oh look! It’s Boney-chwaaan~! eatin’ pizza. :-* And Jinbei!

A lot of information is being leeked out by a reporter called “Absa”. Does that name sound familiar? Thriller Bark? A ship similar to Thriller Bark is clearly recognised in the Manga. Is that guy Absalon? He can become invisible after all, so gathering information is easy for him.

Nonetheless, the whole World now knows about the Alliance of the “Worst Generation”. Trafalgar Law & Monkey D. Luffy forming one of the Alliances, while Scratchman Apoo, Basil Hawkins and Eustass “Captain” Kid the other one.

Law Hates bread. *Shocked~!!!*

Who is the mysterious 7th Shichibukai? Well, it’s great to have at least Buggy the Clown confirmed as one. I am so happy ‘bout that. ^^

Hang on… what did you just say, Doflamingo? Whose Devil Fruit is that? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Mera Mera no mi, Portgas D. Ace’s devil fruit.

This Chapter was awesome. Truly, give Oda 10 medals or 100.

Now, Episode 586 of the Anime.

Sanji in Nami’s Body. Clearly, the Best part of Episode 586, by far.

So, to start it of, the Animation was great in this one. It covered chapter 661 of the Manga.

All in all, maybe the most disappointing thing in this Episode were that the Voices changed together with their hearts. :( I was expecting something like that episode in Fairy Tail, when they exchanged bodies. This was a great opportunity for the Voice Actors too, to do some silly imitations of the other charcters. Imagine Franky!Chopper being all “Suuuupeeeerrr~!” or Sanji!Nami with a deep voice, Nami!Franky going all “Kyaaa~!” and Chopper!Sanji “I became a human!”. How cool would that be?

Nevermind though that. It was a great chapter. I liked it.

Next week, there will be no new Episode due to somekind of Marathon that airs on Fuji TV, the local network that airs One Piece too. But it might be a good thing too. Maybe, we will get a more packed episode the week after.

Cheers!

(Yay, long post.)

One Piece — Chapter 699: Morning Paper

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:05:00 +0100

W-w-wait! Hold on! I need… I need five more minutes.

Okay I am fine-… I mean no! I need fuckin’ five more minutes.

Okay, calm down. Everything is okay, everything is fine. Just breathe in and out. In, and out. In, and out. *colapses*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!

I-I-I just don’t know where to start this of… I mean… Oh dear! Dear Oda, you did it again. You managed to pull of another great chapter. How do you do this? Very well, you want to hear my thoughts on this chapter? Okay. *colapses again*

Mayor Spoilers ahead!

First, I’d like to mention the color spread. Another beautiful piece of Art from Oda.

Okay, moving on. The most unpredictable, yet predictable “showdown” betwean Kuzan and Doflamingo went the way I did not believe it will take. Kuzan just kind of scared Doflamingo away. After that Kuzan and his friend Smo-yan had a pleasant talk. (Smoker: “… I… just died.” — Kuzan: *YouDon’tSay?*) So Kuzan does not regret leaving the Marines after all. I did expect that. Now as a Freelancer, he can look at the World with his own eyes and judge it himself. Good thing.

By the way, that Penguin of Kuzan’s is cute. Look:

Oh and Kuzan being Kuzan… he forgot his lines again. Marines: “We won’t tell anyone~!!!”

Moving on, Kinemon recognised Shuusui. Yep I am talking about Zoro’s Katana, the one he got from Ryuuma. Kinemon talked about Ryuuma as a Hero from the Wano country.

Oh, and that little brat… *rage/envy* … that little brat got to bathe with Robin-chwaaan~! Taking advantage of his situation as a child. I so envy him… Moreover he got to sleep in one room with them, with Nami-swan too. I wish I was a child again for a silly reason there.

Enough of Fanservice!

Doflamingo actually did it. He resigned, the King of Dressrosa, from the Royal Shichibukai. (He actually cares for CC, daaaaw~!)

The plot is moving on. Alliances are being formed. Soon, the epicness in one piece, will double… no, tripple… no, words can not… indeed.

Next Chapter, shit’s getting real.

Cheers!

One Piece - Episode 585: "Shichibukai! Trafalgar Law"

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:19:00 +0100

Great episode being great. Just as presumed, this was another build-up episode.

Dem faces. Oh Law and Smoker. (Tashigi Kawaii~!) Priceless. To be honest, the moment of surprice when the Mugiwaras stepped out the door was great already in the manga. (F-Franky Tank~!) But hey, it was even greater in the Anime~! A girl in bikiny, a talking Kung-fu tanuki, a Severed head and ~~a Pervert~~ two Perverts with Kids right behind them. Sounds ‘bout right.

Animation was alright for most of the episode, first half of it seemed a bit slow in pace, but overall an okay episode.

The kids actually liked Master?

I thought this before, when reading the manga… well, to put it into words: Isn’t that DF of Law’s a bit too OP? I mean, what is there to come in future episodes… Okay, STOP! Spoilers I won’t tell. Read the manga if you want to really know. But okay, back on track… I mean, the Devil Fruit suits the theme of a Pirate Doctor, okay. That’s not the problem. *ROOM* Sooo, what i want to say is that- … *SHAMBLES* …-tHaT !t,S Pr4CT|C4[[Z 0P. *FrantACs interrupts* WILL YOU STOP THAT, TRAFALGUY! *Law: Okay… :(* See what I mean? Words - indeed - cannot describe it. So, if you see a ship falling from the sky, blame on Law… oh and of course on the Strawhats. So many setbacks… damn! (Sky Island, granted.)

I am all revved up for the next episode.

Have some CodeProvider!

One Piece - Episode 584: "A Duel of Swordplay! Brook and the Mysterious Samurai Torso"

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:36:00 +0100

My thoughts on this one? Not too shabby. Animation was okay, the duel between Brook and Kinemon’s torso was cool, Brownbeards beard is brown, Captain-chan being cute, Smo-yan likes gas apparently and Law… ohh, Law.

Hundreds of hearts? They call them “Heart Pirates” for a reason now. Here we go guys! The one and only Law, a Royal Shichibukai, made his appearance in the Anime once again after a long, long time. (Not that long actually…)

Anywhore, there is not much progress, that we could talk about in this ep. It was more of a “build-up” episode. Though the next couple of episodes should be more exciting, hence my high expectations. Don’t blow this one, Toei!

Shit’s gone serious. Punk Hazard, here we go!

Have some CodeProvider!

One Piece -- Chapter 698: Doflamingo Appears

Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:43:58 +0100

What’s up with that cower story again, Granny spotlight and Caribou departing?

Spoilers!

Ohh, WOW! Well, I usually don’t do this, but the new chapter just gave me the chills, so I absolutely have to write down my thoughts on this one.

I mean, look at him! Doflamingo wiped the floor with Smoker’s face like as if he were a Lucy-like-pushover. (No, Lucy from Fairy Tail is actually a pushover, NOT!) But why am I skipping evets? ‘Kay, here’s another one. Vegapunk actually made some suits, that can resist CC’s gas. Clever one, Dr.Vegapunk! The suit made specially for Brownbeards size made me go “Daaaawww!” and laugh at the same time.

This isn’t the last time we see of Baby-chan and Bufallo, that’s for sure. Well, yes… the way Dofla entered the scene was pretty darn awesome. Severed heads flying ‘round in the Sky. Yeah, just your normal day on the Grand Line.

So, the Green Bit that Law was talking about could mean the “kind of distance” between Punk Hazard and Dressrosa. Just guessing.

Anyway, it’s acutally okay to beat up Ceasar, Sanji. But first let Chopper treat him properly, damn you!

Okay, so what’s the plan, Trafalguy? Get to Dressrosa, destroy Smile, save whoever Kinemon is after, make Dofla angry (oh, we actually did that a chapter ago…) and get out. Sounds good to me.

So, it was you after all, Kuzan… that shadowy guy! Kyaaaaa~! I feel kind of sorry now for Doflamingo…

Spotlights in this chapter: Franky’s hair, CC being all “puff” (now, it’s really a shame he is actually a bad guy…), Luffy vs. Law’s comprehension of their “Alliance”, Usopp upgrading Nami’s clima-tact.

One Piece is on a break next week. *Sad face* But it was a packed chapter, so I am kind of fine with it.

Cheers!

Short story long... oh wait! Fairy Tail >< One Piece, Minecraft NEWS ... and I quit WoW?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013 00:44:00 +0100

Long story short, yep you guessed it right. I now officially blog about another anime besides the One and Only One Piece.

Fairy Tail as an anime came to my attention about 2 years ago. I was at a dead point and lack of anime. Yeah, I watched like all the anime that was sort of “available” at that time. So, yes I decided to give Fairy Tail a go and I must say, I was not misled by the first impression I got from it. In a few words: awesome, funny, awesome, exciting, awesome… and again awesome. Sincerely, if you are into One Piece as a shōnen manga/anime, you will MOST likely be into Fairy Tail. I don’t want to spoil anything here in this post for you, IF you are not yet following either the anime or the manga of Fairy Tail yet. So, be warned! Next posts may contain spoilers!

All the way, back to the trees! Naaah, I KEED YA! Redstone Update! Oh boy, oh boy! The release of Patch 1.5 is ever closer. The boys at Mojang decidet to reduce new feature additions in upcoming snapshots and focus on bug fixes. All I can deduce from that is, that the release is very close to the present date. They might release the PR of patch 1.5 Soon-ish.

The new features … Oh com’on! You can use Google, right? Let me point you at the Wiki. Here, some videos on YouTube.

Your average 13 years old WoW player:

“ It’s such a sh!tty g4me! $lizzard totally ruined it with st00ped Pandahs!!!1!!1ONE!one111! I IZ h4rdc0r3. U Play dis babiez gaehm!? U suckz0r7! GO cry mo4r!!11!! ”

Okay, now that I have your attention…

They told you I quit WoW? They were right, but tell you the truth, I don’t intend to stop playing like… forever. No, this is just temporary. I intend to come back as soon as I get better, both health and financially. Actually, I am in a pinch right now. But be at ease, I will manage somehow and return with at least half of my pride… one day. Heh.

Royal Refugees! Rising like a phoenix from the ashes!

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:57:00 +0100

So this is it Guys… forget about the old guild. We are new, we are good to go! Eeyup, that’s right. We formed a totally new guild with old and new people we could gather arround on the realm Burning Blade EU.

If you are a new player or a returning one, then this is the guild for you. We are looking for people, that are willing to learn together with us, since we haven’t really touched the new content yet. (The unfortunate situation in our old guild was the reason for it.) So, if you are intersted, just contact one of our officers in game (Frantaa, Ragnarocek, Erewien, Andresxa…) or you can send me an e-mail (frantacs@frantacs.eu) with your application.

As mentioned, raid experience is not mandatory for admission. If you have the will to raid and sacrifice a bit of your precious time on preparation for the next encounter, you will do just fine.

Our raid are actually really fun. We communicate via TeamSpeak and have a blast telling jokes, harrasing old Veterans with old fads from the olden days. It just never gets borring with us. But of course we always do our best to defeat any obstacle lying before us. (In the past, we progressed through Heroic content. We called it the <insert old guild name here> harvester)

So RISE UP, Royal Regees!

Gothic Multiplayer, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, Minecraft, One Piece

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:31:00 +0200

Here we are again! A new NEW version of Gothic Multiplayer approaches and soon will be released with all new features.

GMP developers (Ojciec Inicjator):

Not without reason, when we were calling the new GMP we have been adding the adjective “new”. Of course, we aren’t changing the orginal name of our mod. Simply, in our eyes, the number of changes comparing to the available version is huge, therefore it makes it an huge evolution.

After all those months, GMP went through a lot. The project was put on hiatus during the Anti ACTA protest in Poland. But once everything was settled, the project continued and has changed shape since then so much, that you won’t recognise it. The GMP team is a few more steps close to fulfilling our dreams! Soon (let’s hope very soon) we will be able to enjoy an all new experience and adventure in the fantasy world of Gothic.

Since the release of Mists of Pandaria (the all new expansion pack for our beloved game, World of Warcraft), some new information was released concerning Patch 5.1. Yep, you heard me right. The PTRs are up. Seems like, that this patch will expand upon the Wrathion Quest Line. (The Black Prince)

A lot of sound files were datamined and… I don’t want to spoil anything here, but I can tell you, all $H!T is going to break loose. (If you are interested in those sound files, you can find some YouTube videos in this MMO-champion thread here). Seems like those sound files are going to be part of some new Scenarios featuring the Alliance and Horde conflict.

Some videos popped up on YouTube about some “Brawler’s Guild”, that is going to be added in Patch 5.1 aswell.

TL;DR: Patch 5.1 IS AWESOME!

The snapshots for Minecraft 1.4 have been mostly bug fixes now. That means, that the release is very close now. Most likely, it will be released arround Halloween.

It’s going to be called the “Very Scary Update”. All the content added will expand upon the Nether, the upper world with the addition of new mobs like Witches, the Wither and all new blocks and mechanics that will expand upon our Minecraft experience.

More details of patch 1.4 on Minecraft Wiki.

And yet again, it’s time to celebrate the end of the Fishman Island Ark with the episode 568: ”To the Future! The Path to the Sun!”

Punk Hazard! WE GO!

Cheers!

Whoring time! Czech Royal Knights on the loose!

Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:36:50 +0200

So, here we are again! Yep, exactly, it’s whoring time!

You:

0MG! L0LZ04, H3 1Z G0NN4 WH0R3 4G41N!!! Y U 50 WH0RY?

As a matter of fact, I really have no choice but to whore my guild. That’s right. We need you! (That is, if you speak Slovak or Czech language. Ohh, come on! I mean, Paragon is a Suomi guild, and won’t take anyone else!)

You see, a life of a Raid leader is not easy. You might say: “Hey! In fact it is. You just pew pew and yell at your ~~fail~~raiders. It’s just that simple.” NOPE! I call Chuck Testa on this one.

Here is the deal:

You have to be active (at least 3 days a week - Tu, Thu, Sun)
You must speak Czech or Slovak languages (or both, they are almost the same)
You have to be social as well (we speak a lot, nonsense sometimes…)
Show us that you mean it! (“Arggghh, I soloed Death~~whimp~~wing!”)
All of it above…

If you are indeed interested, a rozumíš tomu, co teď tady píšu, then apply on our website:

Cheers!

All this hate... Mists of Pandaria... Sha of Hatred?

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:40:00 +0200

Sha of Hatred

Childish… childish?! We have been playing the same game, right? Show me, at which point, in the game, was that childish thingy you are speaking of. Umm, that’s just a Pandaren… oh look a cow! And… and a space goat! LOL! You are right, this game is childish. You have walking cow-man in it and talking goats. Elves? Those spiky-eared fairy tail people? Yeah, I know them. Have seen them in Disney books when I was a child.

Okay, guys! This is getting embarrasing. We play a game, right? Who else does play games? Children? Yeah, that’s right. Children. So are Pandaren really that big of a deal? I mean, you are fine with all those ridiculous races in the game, but Pandaren cross the line? Yet you still remain ignorant. It is fine to dislike something, it’s fine to move on too, though… Here’s an example:

Ohh, I used to like this chocolate bar, that I always bought as a child, but they changed it’s base flavour and I dislike it now. I am not going to cry out loud on everyone I meet that day just because of it, since I am mature enought to just move on and buy something else I might like now. It was nice while it lasted.

You guys do the exact opposite of how a mature individual should respond to a situation similiar as written above, to a product being changed. You don’t like it? You shut your trap and move on calmly. And Not a Single Fuck Is Going To Be Given That Day.

Moving on! The game is live and a lot has happend since. Something that has happened on almost every single expansion launch. Yep, that’s right. I am talking about the World’s first level 90 being deleveled to 87 due to achieving max level with exploits. To be honest, that’s all that has happend, not even worth mentioning actually.

Well, actually all those biased reviews of the game… oh wow! They Retarded. And I accidentally a verb.

Moving, moving on. Moving-on-sception! Since I am not level 90 yet and have experienced just a fraction of this expansions content, all I can say is. Yes. The new enviroment - Pandaria - is stunningly beautiful. It gave the game this feeling of it being fresh. Yet some people find things to complain about.

Well that’s it for now. Once I actually do some of the interesting stuff, I might post again… Soon™-ish.

No "world" event prior to the launch of MoP? ...wat?

Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:15:00 +0200

Odd things happen these days… yep… odd. And when I say odd, i mean it as usual. No “world” event for you fellas! Just as the tittle says, there won’t be a world event as we knew it from previous pre-expansion patches. Well, not that I will miss those messy times when peoply are confused and not sure what really is happening to them. I mean, did you enjoy the Scourge invasion, the Wrath of the Lich King event? Well… it was fun exploding in a crowd of people while you were a ghoul, but it became annoying at times. What about the Cataclysm event? Do I even have to mention that mess? Carrying bags, or what ever the fuck those things were, stoping fire, I guess (if I remember correctly…) and listening (reading) the crap the Doomsayers were spouting with a holographic Cho’gall appearing from nowhere. Nah… I don’t need those. I can be satisfied with a Scenario.

Oh shucks, now this is what I call killing the World (of Warcraft). I mean, scenarios are fine but, isn’t that like locking people out from each other in different rooms, when this game is suppoused to be an MMORPG? I don’t think so. What I believe, is that Blizzard just simply got tired of making new world events and/or found a new way to cut some corners. I mean every single time there was an event, something just had to go wrong. There were technical difficulties (take Diablo 3 as an excelent example of the way Blizzard prepares for these big events(read: releas)) every single freakin’ time. The game crashing, laging, crowded with people arround certain NPCs… It was just a big mess. But Blizzard, come on! We pay you money Blizz, money! Why don’t you give as quality products in return? I guess, when I went overboard with my post about not getting the Beta, I was right after all.

I don’t want to be mean. I don’t mean to hate on you Blizzard. I just think, you should rethink your strategy, because this stinks of a conspiracy between you and Activision. Milking a game dry is not a good strategy. How long do you think this will last until more people notice this. I don’t want you to go this way. I want you back the way you were, when you released World of Warcraft, back then, in those days, dear Blizzard.

I just hope, you did a better job with Mists of Pandaria, than with ~~Faila~~Cataclysm. I don’t want another “Dragon Soul”. I want fresh, hard, longlasting, fun endgame content. Not some retextured zones with a few tweaks and upgrades.

Therefore, I support ideas as this: The Sulution, Segregations is Key. Why can’t you just simply create a Hardcore realm for those, that have a bit more patience. We don’t need to have a fully equipped character with epics from the scratch. We can wait, we want to progress in a challenging enviroment, in a way as it used to be back then, in those days, of course with less flaws and bugs.

Some companies just tend to forget a really important thing they miss every single time. Simply put, the key to create a good sequel is to keep all the features the prequel had and add a ton more features to it. I just had about enought headaches with those halfassed sequels released with even less content than the prequel. Never mind me though… I know you will say it’s not always true, but if it happens, I could tear out skyscrapers from anger.

Aww, give it a break already… I am done here!

Cheers!

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria - 5.0.4 (16010) Release Candidate!

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:18:57 +0200

Hey guys. Just wanted to point out, that we have a release candidate (5.0.4 build 16010) for the upcoming pre-expansion patch for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Soon, we can move on from that boring dragon ~~Gay~~Deathwing and play something new instead. Pandaria, here I come!

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (5.0.4), Diablo 3 (1.0.4), Minecraft (1.3.2)

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 21:41:00 +0200

Well, well, well… the time is nigh’ for some NEWS and opinions on some upcoming or already released patches/updates for our favourite games.

Let’s start it off with World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria with it’s pre-expansion patch 5.0.4 coming on the 28th of August (should nothing go wrong, that is).

Most likely, you are interested as to what is going to happen to your precious Valor points, once the patch hits and when/how the conversion is going to happen. Well, have some official patch notes on MMO-Champion. It’s going to happen in three phases as I read it… nothing speacial. Once the patch hits on the 28th of August all your Valor points will become Justice points and all your Conquest points are going to turn into Honor points. You will not be able to earn Valor points, but everything from Cataclysm will be purchasable for Justice/Honor points. Once Mists of Pandaria hits (25th September), you will be able to earn Valors/Conquests from endgame MoP PVe/PvP content. Valors will cap at 3000, with a cap of 1000 Valors per week. That’s about it. I’m fine with this.

Well, now that that’s clear, let’s jump over to Diablo 3 with it’s new patch 1.0.4 just being pushed live the moment I write this post in the US/EU.

Blizzard (Jay Wilson and Andrew Chambers) are adding some damn good features, one of them being Paragon Levels. You can read more about it on DiabloFans. Basically, what it’s going to do is, that you are going to earn extra levels once you reach max level (60) on your character up to level 100. You will gain with every Paragon level 3% Magic Find and 3% Gold Find and some core stats similiar to the amounts you would gain from normal levels. So it’s an indirect nerf to Inferno difficulty if you ask me, nontheless it gives you something extra to do. Plus there is a ton of other changes you can read in the official patch notes (on DiabloFans for example).

With the release of the new update/patch 1.3.2 there was a shitton of additions to Minecraft. And when I say a shitton, then I mean it. Trading with Villagers, new types of blocks (sideway logs, multiple wood type stairs/stabs… etc.), writing Books and many, many other great improvement to performance and a lot of other features in general. If you want to check the official patch notes, check out the MinecraftWiki.

Should I rate this update on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 9,5. There were a lot of additions I awaited and were finally added but there are a few things… actually a single thing I wanted, and that’s the online Achievements synchronization. Good thing is, that Tobias Mollstam is supposedly working on it, and that’s awesome.

Since some boys from Bukkit joined Mojang, the game just started to skyrocket in quality. The improvement in performance on slower machines is just incredibly awesome! Less lag, better stability and more features. This is what I expect from a Company that provides quality products. Minecraft is one of those products.

Well, there are a lot of things I can look forward to. And not just me, but you guys aswell. Not just WoW, Diablo or Minecraft but in general, a few interesting titles are coming out. Counter-strike:Global Offensive for example being one of those games. I have the beta, since I pre-ordered the game. It remained loyal to it’s first prequel, Counter-strike 1.6. Yep, it’s just as good and fun as the grandfather of Counter-strike.

That’s it for now guys. Thanks for reading.

Cheers!

I am back, Mists of Pandaria NEWS (cinematics) and thoughts!

Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:47:00 +0200

I am back, Mists of Pandaria NEWS (cinematics) and thoughts!:

Hey guys! It’s been a while. I know… suddenly stating, that I am going to start the Beta coverage and then disappearing. Well, yes. There are a lot of reasons as to WHY I was gone (health, family, …) and didn’t really start covering a thing that happened in the Beta. But since I am back and frankly, in a fairly good condition, I will do my best to cover up as much as I can about the Mists of Pandaria Beta.

Well I am sure you want to hear some opinions from those, who have at least glimpsed at the Beta. Okay then… here is something I can tell you right away:

Cataclysm sucked monkeyballz! Mists of Pandaria is going to be superior to anything in Cataclysm from the start.

Yep, that’s about it guys. Cope with it. I know some of you will go: “0MG P4ND4Z 4R3 CH17D15H! K1LL1NG B1G DR4G0NZ 1Z 1337! 1 QU17!” (translation: “OMG pandas are childish! killing big dragons is leet,! I quit!”)

Quiet franky, and yes I am using that word a second time just about ‘cause I find it fitting in context to the moaming you give of from you for no big reason and sense, there is this other ~~side~~ group of people, the non-vocal majority, that actually is going to enjoy the Game as it comes… with improvements! Ohh, come on! Vanilla WoW was never as good and entertaining as you remember it. Put away your rose-tinted glasses. It was horrible if I look back. I don’t even want to talk about it. I just want to point out, that there is a ton more things you can do today in WoW. You have the choice. You can do just about anything you could have done back then, in the Glorious days of WoW, when the game was not yet broken and you lose NOTHIN’! Plus you get a shitton of content every now and then (I waited months for every single content patch in BC too… not just in Failaclysm).

Sooo, what’s your point, haters? Get your arguments straight! Mkay?! The game was never bad or good. It had all the time just about as many good points as bad ones. It was never perfect. And what you should know, that there is NOTHING on the world that is 100%.

Another thing… Failablo 3, I mean Diablo 3. The game did not fail… You guys just simply burned the content way too fast. Ohh, and do I have to mention patch 1.0.4? I mean, have you seen those additions and fixes? Well I have. And I am very, VERY pleased with those changes. Jay (the director of Diablo 3) is one hell of an inovator. I know, you would come up with a better idea, I know you would have done the game differently from scratch and I know you would make it to be a rightful successor of the prequels. Okay, I get it! Calm down. You should have told them that in the early beta.

Oh and one more thing. It’s not game design fail that made Diablo 3 what it is/was… It was the community… yep it’s our own damn mistake to play the game as one should not! Infact, playing a game for 12 hours without a break is not healthy. Come on! You have grown up already! You are not the innocent (not that innocent) teen that used to play Diablo 1 or 2 back in the days. You are a grown up adult now, you have matured. (And when I say matured I mean by the definition of being mature (psychologically). Look it up on wikipedia, seriously, and then we can continue talking.) You are not a child anymore, move on!

Long post short… I am glad I could tell you guys my thoughts on the situation. If you have any questions just ask me, I should post now regularly. (More or less)

And big news is that I am returning to WoW once MoP hits the shelves.

Cheers!

Anyways: Are you looking forward to the release of Mists of Pandaria?

I got the Beta... finally. Now WHAT?

Umm… Okay now… I went maybe a bit overboard with my last post. But hey… I had to get you attention somehow. ‘Cause the one who rages gets a lot of attention, right?

Okay, so I got into the Beta, but I was unabled to copy any of my characters yet, nor was I able to copy a Premade one. Seems like a lot of people are trying to do the very same thing as me. I will give it a rest for now and try sometimes later today.

Soooooo, my Beta coverage can begin. Hopefully Sandis (R4gn4r0k) got in too. Let’s see whether it’s any good…

Betaaaaah!!!

(Oh and for the ones, that want to see a TL:DR version of my posts, read only the bold parts of the text.)

"Good news, everyone! I think I perfected a plague that will destroy all life on Azeroth!"

That’s it… I am out of here!

Not really. I just can’t believe, that another wave of 250K Beta invites wen’t out in a total of over 800K Beta invites already out and I was NOT invited… yet again.

Crazy numbers we got there. Still… Blizzard keeps trolling me and pulling a fast one… GET REAL FFS BLIZZ! HANDLE IT! THROW MOAR DOTS! MORE DOTS! NO more DOTS!

Might I ask you something Blizzard, for the greater good of all of us, for a brighter future? Will you Fuck!ng stop toying with us and be prepared for future promotions more carefully? ‘Cause I have no interest in signing any agreement with you anymore… GO BUCK YOURSELVES! I regret that I signed the Annual Pass and have no interest in the Beta whatsoever anymore… I even consider cancelling my account after (or even before) my AP runs out.

The wait… it’s just not worth it. You have been inviting people, that signed the AP just recently… you have invited people, that have created a WoW account just not so long ago. What about us, loyal longterm customers? We mean nothin’ to you? I see… Scroll of Resurrection… WHAT?! YOU GIVE PEOPLE FREE 80’s that haven’t been paying you for months already? I am sorry… but this is stupid. I WANT A FREE Level 80 too!

I have been way too nice to you Blizzard… I have been way too patient… I pay you money, so give me what I pay for!!! WHERE IS MY BETA??!! WHERE IS MY FREE LEVEL 80???!!!

Ohh, I see… so you do not value my money? Suit yourselve Blizz. Don’t expect me to buy your future products anymore.

It’s a shame, that Activision has such influence on a once great game developer and publisher… Shame on you Blizzard. You sold your soul to Activision. MONEY HUNGRY BASTARDS!

Incoming: 250,000 More Beta Invites

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:38:29 +0200

Bashiok:

That’s right — we’re in the process of sending 250,000 additional beta-test invites to Annual Pass holders. Keep an eye on your email and Battle.net account for an invitation to come test Mists of Pandaria with us.

As with previous waves, it’s going to take a while for the invites to process, so we recommend checking your games list in Battle.net Account Management to see whether yours has arrived yet. Once it does, you’ll see the Mists of Pandaria beta client available for download from there. We expect this entire wave to take a day or so to complete.

We appreciate the enthusiasm of everyone who signed up for the World of Warcraft Annual Pass, and we’re working hard to get you into the beta. We know you’re excited to explore Pandaria and test the new content, and we’ll keep you posted here in the forums when we’re ready to send out another wave.

I feel like… so dull in my soul, so sour. I just checked my Battle.net Account and found… NOTHIN’ AT ALL! I even wanted to start a project with my buddies reviewing, testing the game. But like this, we won’t be able to get the audience we could have had gotten at the start of the Beta. This sucks, yes. But, what to do? Wait and see? Rant on Blizzard? Nope. Chu… *gets interrupted by Chu… *gets interrupted by Chu**…** *Interruption-sception!!*

Blizzard… why do you hate me?!

300K Beta invites!

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:21:00 +0200

Excuse me, but WHAT??!!

I feel like Blizzard is trolling me…

I’m still Betaless. (Pun intended, yet again… NOPE!) Nevermind me… I can wait, a bit more… just in case you look for me, don’t miss Sicily… I have some business to negotiate with my “family” about the Annual Pass.

I KEED YA! I ain’t got no “family”. :(

You can read more about the beta on MMO-Champion and Battle.net.

In other news, a new episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic just aired recently on the Hub. Worth checking it out. :)

100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:12:16 +0200

Well… okay. Let’s admit it, Blizzard is really trying to get all those people into the beta. Seems like the wave already ended and the invites have already been sent out. So no more invites for atleast a week again.

And gues what? I ain’t got my beta invite, again. Even though I have an active sub since 2007, signed the AP the minute it wen’t live. I… I… I still feel like Blizz is trolling me. I can’t help it.

Nevermind though… I can wait… a bit longer. It’s just a shame, since the weekend is aproaching and I could spend all my day doing nothin’ else but Testing the Beta. So here we go again. Another week of hardship before I get a chance to participate in the course.

So long… my dear followers and readers. Let’s anticipate what yet has to come.

Cheers!

Best Day... ever? NOPE. CHUCK TESTA!

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:58:00 +0200

Okay, so this is the deal: Best Day Ever? Not at all. You want to hear the shor version? Well then you won’t get it, ‘cause there ain’t no TL;DR version.

“Birds fly, sun shines… and me, brother? I kill Laptop Screens!”

Seriously… I just can’t help to think, that the change I wanted in my life is forcing itself now on me… As if all I ever wanted to get rid off, is now getting rid of me instead! Yep, you heard me! So yeah, I actually managed to crack my screen…

Now I am forced to use my TV as a monitor, since I cannot afford right now a screen repair, nor buying a new laptop… Shame on me! *cry*

“I smell something… burning… MY HOUUUUUSE~!!!!”

Nay… not my house, but the field next door. Engulfed in flames and in smoke. Awww crap, and I just wated to open my windows! (Pun intended.) Now all I can see right now is nothin’, nothin’ at all. I wanted to film it, but the cops stoped me just about 10 meters from the point where the flames were visible. Now that’s a shame.

Check this out:

And now we get to the prank part. You ~~can stop~~ read~~ing~~ here, it’s ~~not that~~ funny ~~anymore~~… Wait, what? Awww you!!!

So right after I came back from the filming, a friend of mine called me. He was like: “Come pick me up on the train station.” And I was like: “Mkay, I am on my way.” And then my phone was like: *BZZZZZ* YOU GOT A MESSAGE DUDE! saying, “Sry, but change of plans, get back home m8! Don’t wait for us on the station.” While I was actually already waiting there for 5-8 minutes.

Mkay, I went home and now I am writing this ~~shiz~~’. HEY! WATCHA’ LOOKIN’ AT??!!

In other news, there ain’t NO other news. I still am in the lack of a Beta key for Mists of Pandaria. But I am getting to a point, where I am loosing interest in it and regret, that I signed the Annual Pass at all, since World of Warcraft does not keep me as interested and entertained as it used to. Maybe it’s just something wrong with me. Who knows…

Well anyway, the day is not over yet! It’s 4:12pm. (16:12 for EU readers and… nevermind… *shrug*) So I have this feeling, that it’s not over yet. It’s never boring with me. :-D I can guarantee that.

Oh and the classes in the Beta were nerfed by GC - Ghostcralwer Greg Street to the groud. Yet again.
