And.. here is the special healing macro:

Unholy Death Knight Tanking: FTL (for the lose)!

Bah. Just tried to heal this 'tank' through the Nexus. Nothing personal, the guy was nice, but it really sucks when I have to spam Lesser Healing Wave and Riptide just to keep a level 71 human Death Knight healed. (I didn't have time to cast Healing Wave itself with healing the rest of the party too.)

Check out his stats.. btw, he was unholy for this dungeon. 351 defense. 8,851 hp. 6587 armor.
WTF, I'm a shaman and I have 362 defense with 9937 hp and 4735 armor !!

Laying Down Lieing Politicians

A bus full of politicians was driving down a country road, when the bus ran off the road and crashed into a tree in an farmer's field.

The old farmer, after seeing what happened, went over to investigate.

A few days later, the sheriff came out looking for the missing politicians; saw the crashed bus.
He asked the farmer where all the politicians had gone.

The farmer said, "I buried 'em all out back."

The sheriff then asked, "Were they ALL dead?"

The old farmer replied, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them politicians lie."

A Paladin Joke.

One night, a twin-engine airplane was flying somewhere above New Jersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan, a Paladin, the Dali Lama, and a hippie.

Suddenly, an illegal generator exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began to fill with smoke.

The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the compartment. "Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have one of them!"

With that, the pilot threw open the door and jumped from the plane.

Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into the night.

The Paladin rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am a Paladin. The world needs Paladins. I think I should have a parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped.

The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dali Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you. You take a parachute, and I will go down with the plane."

The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, dude. The Paladin just jumped out wearing my backpack."

Intelligence Analyst Arrested in Wikileaks Probe

This poster says it well.

Swine Flu

We will refer to the 2009 H1N1 Flu as the 'Swine Flu' as it is commonly called.


Incubation Period: In general, the incubation period for the swine flu virus seems to range from 2 to 7 days. Meaning you could get someone sick before you know you are infected!

Swine Flu Symptoms: body aches, chills, cough, fatigue, fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, and stuffy nose. Basically just like your everyday flu. :)

Contrary to science fiction shows (with bad or NO science), viruses with long incubation periods and non-lethal attacks tend to be the more successful ones (as in they spread wider to more hosts).

My advice is this: stop coughing in public places and always wash your hands.
Please stop spreading these damn diseases around !

Pawn Scale for Level 46 Fury Warrior

And here is the pawn scale I'm going to use for dps on my level 46 fury warrior in berserker stance.

( Pawn: v1: "Fury 46": ArmorPenetration=1, CritRating=1, HasteRating=1, Strength=2, ExpertiseRating=1, Agility=0.1, HitRating=1, Armor=0.01, Ap=1 )

Like it?

Avoidance Pawn Scale for Level 46 Warrior

Here is my Pawn Scale for my Level 46 Warrior geared towards Avoidance (avoid being hit). I chose the def=32 as the sum of the values (from what I read) that it affects, Block+Dodge+Parry.

( Pawn: v1: "Avoidance": BlockRating=10, Strength=1, ParryRating=10, Armor=0.009, Agility=2, DodgeRating=10, DefenseRating=32, BlockValue=1 )

It is similar to my previous post, but the +attack values have been stripped out.

Pure Avoidance Pawn Scale for Protection Warriors (Defense Build)

And here is the pawn scale I use when I want my warrior to be hit as little as possible.
[ Haven't had any complaints from the healers.. yet :) ]

( Pawn: v1: "Pure Avoidance": BlockRating=10, Health=0.1, CritRating=0.1, Strength=7.16, ParryRating=10, Armor=1, Agility=1.15, HasteRating=0.1, Hp5=0.1, DefenseRating=100, HitRating=0.1, DodgeRating=10, BlockValue=1 )

Binary Damage Mitigation Pawn Scale for Warriors

Here is the basic pawn scale I use for my warrior for damage mitigation.
He is level 45 at the time of this post.

( Pawn: v1: "Binary Mitigation": ArcaneResist=1, FrostResist=1, ResilienceRating=1, Agility=1, BlockRating=1, ParryRating=1, Armor=1, Strength=1, AllResist=1, Hp5=1, DodgeRating=1, FireResist=1, NatureResist=1, DefenseRating=1, ShadowResist=1 )

Adjust as you see fit :)

Who is Justin Beiber?

Really... who is he? The name keeps popping up in the trade channel on Sisters of Elune..

How to win in every warcraft instance !

Don't Panic. The first and formost rule is don't panic! Seriously!

Douglas Adams had it right in his books, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Does it need repeating? A team with half the gearscore that remains calm will always do better than a team of twice the gearscore that does panic.

The next rule is: know your class. It may seem obvious, but I've met many a player who have only ever played one class ( usually a hunter :P ). They never even know what talents and spells other classes can do.

So, play other classes. Learn their capabilities. Learn what they do well, and what they cannot do.

Your teammates will thank you.

Celebrity Beastiality

So my wife and I watched Zack and Miri make a porno (I really lke Elizabeth Banks, but don't tell my wife that!).. and it got me to thinking what does it take to make money making porn in the real world?

So I did some googling.. which is my start any time I want to research something. I mean, having the whole (well, almost) internets at your fingertips should be awesome right? Right?

Out of this research, I came across another almost-blog were he mentions that by just adding the keywords 'Celebrity Beastiality' his search engine rank shot up (and of course, his web traffic. Which equals more clicks on the ads displayed. Which equals more money.).

Even though he had no porn of any type.. it worked. So I'm wondering if the same thing would work here, or get smothered in the billion other blogs and websites doing the similar thing.

So, perverts, just so you know: there is no real porn on this blog. Go read a good book and stop looking for dirty pics. :)

"Jews should go home!" Riiiiggghhttt....

Bitch. Die. Soon.

You Bought It, You Own It

Like hell they own it and I'm just a licensee.
I will use something I buy in any which way I want, as long as it does not impact/(harm) others.


That said, as for Glider WHY would you want a program to play for you? I admit building the AI part of such a program is quite intriguing.. but aren't you playing a game to play the game?
