Sandwich-o-matic

So much for baking!

2015-05-19T15:07:00.001-07:00

For the first time in my life I have tried to bake. I purchased 3 large Hass avocados and I was ready to make avocado egg for breakfast.

The oven was Kenmore and it has the basic digital stuff. I preheated the oven to 425 mins which took about 10 mins and cut up my avocados and safely broke an egg and places it in the middle.

The recipe said 15 mins but I didn't want to eat raw egg whites and decided to so another 30.

Now for some reason it was past 30 mins and the Kenmore oven wouldn't shut off.

Panicking I decided to google it.

- how to turn oven off

- off switch button on kenmore oven

-kenmore oven doesn't shut off

-kenmore repair number

I spoke to a not too helpful kenmore customer service agent who kept asking me the address and name of the oven owner. She wouldn't listen to me at all unless I gave her what she asked for. She then proceeded to tell me that the warranty was up and she could not help me.

I just wanted to turn it off.

So I read suggestions to turn the breaker off.

I've never done that in my life either, but right now I couldn't just let then oven cook everyone in the house.

I shut the breaker off for like a few seconds and came back to find the oven still acting up.

Finally decided to shut it down for good. Took several hours and I read up that I'm

Supposed to keep it shut off for at least half a hour. Turned it back on again and voila!

The kenmore oven finally shut up. I sure hope it was just trying to "clean".

Omg Starbucks sandwhich

2015-04-26T00:16:00.001-07:00

So lately I have been embracing my inner Basic Bitch and indulging on caramel frapuccino and egg/sausage sandwich at where else but basic heaven, Starbucks.

So usually I just get this for breakfast. Upon finishing my drink and half of my sandwich I decided to head back to my apartment and watch more Vikings.

"These guys mean business.."

Anyway naturally all that pillaging got me hunger. I decided to bite into my already semi-hard sandwich then I heard a crunching sound.

Starbucks sandwich broke my tooth.

😿

I made an appointment with my dentist who then told me I need an implant to replace it. This is what that looks like.

"Hurts the wallet more than the actual

bone drilling thing.."

So overall that's over $2000 for Starbucks sandwich breaking my tooth. I am not going to buy those sandwiches again.

Wish I listened to people instead of going here. I only posted this entry because I found on google two people already broke their teeth too. Crazy!

How to level your battle pet FAST (2nd guide)

2013-08-02T20:21:00.001-07:00

Thundering Pandaren Spirit guide

arctic hare - dodge first, then burrow, flurry when you can just use dodge whenever his first 2 abilities come up..when the first enemy goes down your rabbit should still have some hp left.

emerald whelp - bite, blessing, dream

3rd - your carry pet

Gutretch - 2 beasts 1 critter

clockwork mechanical gnome - build turret, repair , fist, turret

cogblade raptor-

3rd pet -carry

Beegle Blastfuse - 2 flyers 1 aquatic

nordrasil wisp for first 2 pets
jade owl - thrash, adrenaline rush and liftoff for the elemental penguin enemy pet
3rd pet - carry pet, bring him out when big dps cooldowns are off on the 3rd enemy pet

Okrut Dragonwaste- the asshole..yes i said it.

1 dragonkin 2 undead enemy pets

first use the anubisath idol - crush sandstorm deflection

use this guy even when the 2nd pet comes out, sandstorm will able to fend off any critical strikes

2nd pet - infected squirrel - creeping fungus rabid strike consume, keep creeping up and consume when u can, and use rabid strike as ur primary dps.

3rd pet - ur carry pet

obalis in uldum -

clock work gnome - turret first then heal . dont bother fisting here..

2nd pet if your gnome goes down take out the whelp, when the moth is out take ur carry pet out on the 3rd enemy pet and put ur whelp in again

Brok - Hyjal

Anubisath idol - deflect first to avoid the flash, then sandstorm, just keep in mind the flash has a 2 round cooldown

2nd pet carrying pet

Clockwork gnome - turret, heal, turret , dont bother fisting here and you'll be good.

Goz Banefury -

arctic hare - dodge first then flurry then burrow

mechanical gnome - by the time you get to the 2nd enemy pet their hp should be at least 50% and you have to take out your mechanical gnome, turret first then heal then turret.

by the time the spider comes out, this guy is a super asshole to beat..you can try fisting him from time to time but turret and repair should be priority.

3rd pet, as usual, is at least a 600 hp carry pet.

Pet Battles...a guide on how to level your pets FAST

2013-08-02T20:17:00.001-07:00

So I know I have been not posting lately. I had to move to another country, that's all. No biggie..right?

Anyway I have been so into pet battles lately. I came up with so many different strategies on my own, posting them on wowhead when I could.

I just came upon this thread in Warcraftpets.com but I am just going to paste it here for my own personal use, just in case I lose their link. They didnt put all the methods there so I am going to add my own 99.99% working strategy.

A lot of thank you to Phraide by the way.

Guide to tamer daily pet battles (5.3) - For beginners

by Phraide » June 5th, 2013, 2:29 pm

/edit2: added a team for Goz Banefury
/edit1: added a team for Brok

____________________________________________________________________________

Introduction
You are new to pet battles and are looking for an efficient way to level your pets? Look no further! With tamer dailies, you will be able to level up to 3 pets from lvl 1 to lvl 25 every day, with a mere 1-2 hours time investment. You will also gain Valor Points, a lot of Lesser Charms of Good Fortune, and some Battle Stones (items which allow you to upgrade your pets to Rare quality) in the process!

This guide is designed for beginners. You will be able to complete every single strategy here with only 2 pets: an Emerald Proto-Whelp and an Anubisath Idol.
If you already have a solid pool of lvl 25 pets, I recommand you to check my other guide, Guide to tamer daily pet battles (5.3) - For veterans. There, you will find way faster setups and strategies.

Goals
- Only 2 pets used throughout the entire guide: Emerald Proto-Whelp and Anubisath Idol.
- The teams have only 2 lvl 25 pets, leaving room for a lowlvl “carry pet” for leveling.
- Winning as reliably as possible. This means that some strategies will be a bit sluggish.

Addons
I strongly recommand you PetBattleInfo to monitor the enemies' cooldowns.

Description
In the guide I use these parameters: [Pet name] [(Skillset)]

- The number 1 – 3 in front of the pet names signify which pet you start with and which pet gets switched in next.
- Skillset: 1,1,1 means the first ability slot for all three abilities. 2,2,2 means the second ability slot for all three abilities. 1,2,2 means the first ability slot for the first ability, and the second ability slot for the second and third ability.
- Concerning carry pets and XP: Usually, I switch in the carry pet when my first pet dies, then immediately switch the carry pet out for the last lvl 25 pet. This way, you will get xp without having to make an action or take a hit. In some battles, I let the carry pet switch in at a different time for tactical purposes.

Pet Shop
First, you will need an Anubisath Idol. You can loot it on the twin Emperors in AQ40. This is a very easy win nowadays. You can kill them once every week on each of your characters.

You will also need an Emerald Proto-Whelp. Go north of Scholazar Basin, and check for a breed 4 of any quality (Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, whatever). If you don't know what a breed is, then read this guide here. Once you have found your Emerald Proto-Whelp [breed 4], upgrade it to Uncommon quality with a Polished Battle-Stone. You can buy one for 1000 Justice Points from Commander Lo Ping. No worries, Uncommon quality is enough for this guide.

You are now ready to go!

Twitch.tv - Unfair Banning For No Reason

2012-12-29T05:53:00.000-08:00

Well.I woke up this morning and excitedly clicked the link to watch Garylife (Reckful's funny brother) stream on Twitch.tv. Too bad MiaRose wasn't online so he decided to go out and buy a new Hookah for some reason.

I went and took a nap, when I woke up again to click on an email from Twitch that a person I was following was online (ironically) I found out that I was banned from Twitch.TV

No e-mails, nothing..I mean at least send me an email that you banned me or something. I probably don't even want an explanation anymore. Although it would be sweet to know exactly just what you did.

Hell, a warning would have sufficed but apparently Twitch.tv can't be bothered with that.

In another news, 2 weeks ago, a gamer was banned also for "putting makeup on" and eating a banana.

He was already warned to:

1) Not show or touch his nipples, as it would be too sexual

but he can

1)Take his shirt off

Okay, as far as I have noticed, this site is run by antisocial bullies (moderators), who would just slap you with the banhammer if they're having a shitty day, cause honestly I have seen other people show their nipples (the girls - through their shirts), attention whore like crazy and whatnot. Their rules aren't exactly black and white..or is that blue and gray, and to be honest, it's an obvious double standard.

Who knows. Who cares anymore.

Apparently this is what you should do in case you had the same case as me..

Go to this page:

http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/emails/new

It will ask for your channel name and your email address associated with your Twitch.tv accoutn. Try to be as nice as possible, beg and vow to never do whatever it was that you did again. If you're lucky, the moderator reading it would feel softhearted and possibly unban you.

I'm turned off by this site, and thank heavens I can't even view anything anymore, cause apparently even if you aren't logged in, if you are banned, you cannot watch any stream..you might be able to open a streamers channel but you will get this message:

Twitch.tv is for gaming content only...

Okay.........like that makes sense, I wasn't a streamer so that line is purely irrelevant.

Twitch.tv is a real class act. Hopefully they aren't letting site run by bots. I was a Twitch.tv member for 5 years (Justin.tv actually) and have been donating to the streamers.

By the way Twitch.tv, please fix your Ipad app. It is all black when I am trying to watch from it. Since I am not going to watch streams anymore, at least do it for your other customers if you care.

Blood-curdling scream..

I remember a few months ago when I was really heavy into arena. Well let's just say the passion never really died ever since Season 2 arena but I have not really been like one of those hardcore arena players either. I just did what I could and left it to that, I thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of BG PVP though. It spells of teamwork, random groups calling out and nerds trying hard to be more sociable and ask for stuff like "call out early" or "INC BS!".

Anyway a few months ago before Teamfind.com was put into use, I did arena games with my Warrior..me and this guy have been playing since Season 2 and I totally forgot how mad he would get especially because he thought I didn't dispel him or heal myself or why I didn't heal him without considering the fact that I was stunned, spells were on GCD or maybe even when I was dead.

I don't have enough screenshots of what happened but basically it didn't end well. I played with an Arms spec Warrior using my Shadow Priest on Alliance-Tichondrius basically because I couldn't seem to last more than 2 seconds as healer. No idea why.

Despite the fact of all these, we never practiced and were barely gemmed/geared we reached like 1200 or so and I was fairly happy. I just disliked all the stress. Raised cortisol levels whilst playing a video game like WoW I was supposed to enjoy just didn't make sense.

WoW account - how do you get hacked and keylogged?

2012-04-03T10:26:00.007-07:00

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory, as the wish to forget it." - Michel de Montaigne

Well guess who got keylogged after 7 long years of not.

I got that e-mail the moment I rolled out of bed and found out that someone transferred my beloved but unused pally. I barely use this toon because I can only heal on her and she was very lucky with rolls/drops on gear (even mounts). The hacker must've taken a lot of time because I have about 10 level 85 toons and most of them have their old gear (season 1 season 2 arena gear, etc) which he vendored.

What I did:

1)Logged on my email, I use gmail and I could see the keylogger was not able to go to my gmail account because his ip didnt show up there. Either that or he could bypass that /cringe/

2)I went on WoW customer service forums as well as posted a request on Bnet and sent a ticket saying that my account was keylogged and someone's credit card was used to transfer my toon.

3)Blizzard froze my account, and even banned/blocked my entire Cataclysm account

4)I changed my password and my e-mail's password

I waited 2 days because I didn't want to send them my personal data (passport, birth certificate, driver's license etc). Sat around moping and thinking about how life is unfair and where did I go wrong, etc. Lots of self-loathing. -_-

I gave in and I eventually called Blizzard's customer service number, Phone: Toll-free at (1-800-592-5499)

I spoke to a customer service guy who asked me these details

a)my email address associated with my game account

b)my security question and the answer

c)my name used on the account

d)last 4 digits of credit card (that I used to pay for the account sometimes)

I eventually got my account back but it was very distateful and made me feel like I didn't want to play anymore. Firstly because:

a)I scanned my pc and I did not find anything, these are the programs I used

1)Malwarebytes

2)Spybot search and destroy

3)Ccleaner

4)Avast anti virus

5)Ad-aware

6)Security Task Manager

7)Spyware Blaster

8)Rkill

9)TDSSkiller

10)Hijackthis

11)Hitmanpro

I think theres 2-3 more that I forgot to include, but that is an extensive list.

b) It took me about 2-3 hours to put my restored items back on all my toons :( and I am not done yet on 3 more toons.

c) I was very uncomfortable knowing that hackers/keyloggers may specifically target a person who has a wow account..I didn't really realize that until some guy in another computer forums pointed it out, that I shouldn't play AT ALL.

It was kind of really depressing, I know people are going to say I was stupid but the only thing I can think of is that I don't have my firewall ON. I have issues with lag and stuff so I keep it off most of the time and to be frank I have kept it off for years. I am keeping it on now.

I used to have a lot of sensitive information on my pc. Information about other people too, now I realize this is what makes these keyloggers and farmers extremely dangerous. They are not your garden variety 10-12 year old boys mischievously stealign your gold so they can sell it for extra cash or to buy something in the game. These are high profile criminals who are out to destroy people's lives. Let me give an example..

Example they get into someones computer and keylogged it in search of a person's gaming account, that is just the beginning. If this person worked for an insurance company and has all your insurance stuff, cards and info there...these things could be stolen.

Now I have been online for so many years, I would like to think I am not that dumb to click an .exe or click any link like a drunken sailor, but yet this thing got on my computer for some reason. I never use my game account to log on any other computer except my new laptop.

I feel at a loss now cause I don't want to go through that whoel thing again. Come Diablo 3 I may never go back to playing wow..

If anyone has any information about this particular type of keylogger please message me, where he lives, I may have jurisdiction of and lead him to the proper authorities. Thanks.

I would like to add also I am using several measures to type in my password, and I am thinking of getting an authenticator. Even if I don't want to play anymore I don't want to lose my characters and stuff.

For more info on authenticators please visit Battle.net

Annual Pass

2011-10-23T04:19:00.000-07:00

There are a few good reasons why you should get your annual pass, much of it is explained in my video but I can explain here too, cause I have been having some trouble with the video itself anyways.

So heres one big thing, they won't charge you $160 outright, it's a monthly bill that goes to your credit card. You need to be eligible for this (aka i mean you need to be in the u.s., canada, singapore, australia, new zealand).

Here's a quick image of you should expect from getting the annual pass..

You can pay for the WoW Annual Pass on a monthly basis at $14.99 per month or according to the billing plan of your choice. To participate, you must be 18 or older, have a valid credit card, and have registered a full version of World of Warcraft on or before October 18, 2011.

Sign up for the World of Warcraft Annual Pass here, and then keep an eye on the World of Warcraft community site or the Diablo III community site for future announcements regarding the launch dates of these bonuses.

Here's the Youtube Video..in case you missed it.

Pandaren as a new WoW race?

2011-10-22T00:32:00.000-07:00

So I heard Pandaren is going to be a race. This has long ago been discussed since BC and they even said they were going to come from Hyjal..but I think thats not going to happen since its about 70% on fire. Don't wanna burn their precious furry faces. To be honest they look a lot like Ewoks. I'm pretty sure they share the same bloodline.

Increases the stat benefits from food by 100%
GOURMAND
Cooking skill increased by 15.
INNER PEACE
Your rested experience bonus lasts twice as long.
BOUNCY

QUAKING PALM
You touch a secret pressure point on an enemy target, putting it to sleep for 3 seconds.

Available Classes (Pandaren):

Monk
Hunter
Mage
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warrior

New Class: Monk
Pandaren masters have chosen to share their ancient martial arts with young fighters in both the Alliance and Horde. Harnessing their inner strength and potent "chi" energy, Monks are extremely capable in every role: damage, defense, and healing.

Cloth, Leather
WEAPON
Fist Weapons, One-Handed Axes, One-Handed Maces, One-Handed Swords, Polearms, Staves
