Car Update

2012-08-20T13:43:00.003-07:00

My dad finally the the dent out of the back of my car. I really don't know how he does it. Years of experience if I could guess. Bondo is awesome I suppose.

Anyway, it's been buffed on the hood, the engine is great, and really it'd be ready once we get it cleaned up. After all the bullshit paperwork and legal mumbo jumbo and all of that. In other news, I have no focus whatsoever. I'm bored as hell right now. I'd love to go and make a map on Starcraft or do something productive, but i'm just too lazy to learn or even do anything. Maybe I should go work out.

Also, sorry about the lack of updates recently. I've been pretty busy the past couple of days. My girlfriend moved to go to school and I went down yesterday to help her out. She's going into pre-vet and she already bought a betta for her dorm room. She really can't stay away from animals for long.

Parakeets

2012-08-16T19:33:00.002-07:00

Everyone on mumble knows that I have parakeets. They know damn well. Those things squawk like a mother fucker. Anyway, I used to think I had 2 males and 1 female. That is until every single one of them laid eggs. Yeah, that was a bit of a shock. The thing is though, they keep laying them from on top of their perch, which is pretty high up. They crack as soon as they lay them. I guess it really doesn't even matter though, considering there's no male to fertilize them. That's too bad though, I was looking forward to terrorizing mumble with baby parakeets.

Dawn Soap

2012-08-13T12:58:00.000-07:00

Man, Dawn soap is the shit. I always knew it was a pretty good dish soap, but I had no idea how much other shit it could be used for. And no, i'm not getting paid to say any of this. I spent about 5 hours cleaning my new-ish car a few days ago, and I used dawn soap with water and it worked like a fucking charm. The water coming off the car by the way was orange. That's how nasty that thing was. So yeah, dawn soap. It's apparently not just for dishes. Soap is soap I guess.

Fuck teemo

That's all.

Fuck

Just Cause 2

2012-08-11T00:02:00.002-07:00

A lot of people have heard about it already but there's a mod currently that turns Just Cause 2 into a 5000 person multiplayer server. It's currently in alpha I believe but it's batshit insane. Those of you who don't know about it, Just Cause 2 is a sand box action third person shooter. It contains grappling hooks, lots of guns, vehicles, and explosions. The world is absolutely massive, and gorgeous and all of it is playable in the multiplayer. It works amazingly and surprisingly well.

The server itself is only up on weekends for a day or two, and usually will skip a week or two. I can only imagine how much a 5000 player server can cost, and they're not releasing details on how much it costs them. The syncing is astonishingly accurate as well, with very very little delay. One fun thing to do with a friend is that you can use the grappling hook to attach 2 objects, vehicles, or enemies together. We tried making a kite by attaching an airplane to a car, and you can only imagine how well that worked out. Things only like to attach if both players are hooking the same object together though. That's most likely in place to prevent griefing, but that pretty much happens any way it can otherwise.

If you don't have it already, I highly suggest picking it up. It goes down to about $5 dollars during sales, and the single player itself is very fun anyway.

New-ish Car

2012-08-08T14:52:00.000-07:00

I've been driving my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer for about.. I'd say four years, which is when I got my license. It's served its purpose well, but now i'm heading off to college which will be 30 minutes away. It's going to be a pain in the ass for gas, so I've been keeping my eyes peeled for something else to drive.

My parents recently found out that one of their close friends had a friend who owned a 1997 Volkswagen Cabrio. It hadn't been driven in 5 years and had been sitting in a pole barn the whole time, but otherwise it's in great condition, and only 500 dollars. We're picking it up within the next couple of days and my dad will work on it. He's been a mechanic for practically his whole life so it shouldn't even be a problem. Although, I will now have to learn stick shift. It shouldn't be too hard, right? Right?

I'm Probably late on this

2012-08-06T13:05:00.002-07:00

Starcraft 2 patch 1.5 was released.. Sometime within the last few days. Normally I wouldn't really care because I suck at SC2 and I could care less about balance. One thing that's amazing about this though is that it has been dubbed the Arcade Patch. What this means is that it completely reworks how custom games work. I BELIEVE that they still have the popular map bullshit and all that that almost ruined the custom game scene, minus the 5 dota clones that are shit, but it adds in lobbies.

This is a pretty big change as it was one of the main reasons that people just didn't care about making maps in SC2, nobody would ever play them unless you advertised them specifically. New maps were tossed aside and never given a chance, and the Fun or Not crap that they tried still would play games within the first few pages of the popularity. A vast majority of my childhood was spent playing SC and WC3 custom games, so it's safe to say that i'm very excited about this. I hope that this paves the way for a new era of UMS gaming.

New Mouse

2012-08-03T09:06:00.001-07:00

My new mouse just came in the mail today. New is a strong word though. It's a Logitech MX 518, you know, that one from 2005 or so that looked like it had bullets in it. Every one of my gamer friends has one so I figured why not, it's lasted them years and mine last me.. Months?

Sore

2012-08-01T09:39:00.002-07:00

If anyone has been awake and had the TV on at 4 in the morning on just about any channel, then they'll know what I'm saying when I say fuck Insanity.

I've been doing it for awhile, but I hadn't done it for.. A good 2 weeks at least, since it's my girlfriend's brother's discs. They had been on vacation so i'm just getting back into it. I'm going to be honest and say that i'm not active or athletic in any sense of the word. I'm not fat, per se , but i'm not skinny either. Most of the time I just sit at the computer or play just dance or some bullshit to work out. I hate the feeling afterwards, but at the same time when you get up in the morning and you can barely move, there's some weird feeling that just makes it worth it.

This still exists?

2012-07-31T11:15:00.000-07:00

I'd all but forgotten about this blog. I decided to check and see if it's still here and... Well, it is! I might as well make use of it.

Lately, I've sort of grown out of League of Legends. I haven't quit though, i'm just a little burned out is all. I still play it from time to time with friends, but my new current love is DotA 2. I used to hate on it, but I just didn't want to take the time to learn a new game is all. What I have learned though, is it's complex as fuck. I mean really, you can't say that League of Legends is completely simplified. In an average skill bracket, league of legends is easier. I'm not sure about competitive play though, since I'm not nearly that high in ranked, but it's at least simpler. There's so many things you can just end up fucking up in DotA.

I'm going to keep this one short since this post really is just a spur of the moment sort of thing, so keep an eye out for me (maybe) making more posts. I want to do this, I really do. I do, I promise.

Finally Sold my TF2 hat!

2011-12-16T13:45:00.000-08:00

I'd been trying to sell my Unusual Backbiter's Billycock with the Circling Hearts effect for.. I'd say a month now. I finally sold it for $50. Could I have held out for more? Yeah, probably. I'm just happy to be rid of it though honestly. I'd spent too much on that game for it to be free. At least now I can play The Old Republic with my horrible computer though!

Well, it's been awhile.

2011-12-06T17:28:00.000-08:00

I'm really sorry about being gone for... I don't even WANT to check how long I've been gone for. Well, i'll try and update this more often. I've been busy, between college, a girlfriend, and work. Don't worry though, I just know you've all missed me.

A few updates

2011-06-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

So my girlfriend got a 3ds, I helped her out by trading in a few games. But THAT'S not what's important. She gave me her DSiXL, which is awesome. Most people say the pixels are all stretched, but then again I don't think they've ever actually played it. 90% of games look fine on it.

If you didn't know, today Ocarina of Time 3DS came out. So of course I had to get that, even though I don't own a 3DS. I borrowed my girlfriends to just play it. It's great, just like the old game and the 3D looks alright. It just kind of gives you a... Hell I dunno, what are those words they're using to sell the damn thing, put one of those words there. That will work.

I'd probably get a 3DS just for that game, but I doubt i'll ever get one. I'll just mooch off my girlfriends because i'm a cheap baster.

I love Terraria

2011-06-11T15:00:00.000-07:00

Since my internet's going to shit right now due to a small thunderstorm, i've just been playing Terraria. I just keep coming back even though I have everything. Don't get me wrong, Minecraft is awesome too, but it's just not as in depth... Even though it's 3d, still though, you know what I mean.

But my internet is shit. Complete shit. I guess that's what I get for living somewhat out in the country. I wish I could get cable instead of DSL. At least I don't have satellite I guess.

Orionna: Delayed Thoughts

2011-06-07T15:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry for this to have been so late, but I wanted to make sure that i'm not just talking out my ass.

So far, she seems like a great champ that might need a FEW small tweaks. Nothing major. Her early game damage is pretty bad, but it's on a low cooldown. Luckily though, once she hits six she wins the lane. Your combo with the ulti will wreck anyone that's not a true tank.

Early game once she hits six, she can be considered somewhat of an assassin, but you HAVE to hit your full combo and your ulti right. She has pretty ridiculous burst. Mid game, it's somewhat the same and with a lot of AP and penetration, you'll be able to deal some serious damage at a pretty low cooldown.

Late game though is where she slows down. She still can do some damage, but it's best to switch over to a tankier and more cooldown oriented build and start being more of a support by slowing, speeding up your allies, tossing enemies around, and using your shield right.

One thing you have to remember though is that her E does damage, albeit not much. That can be the difference between a death and a kill though, so remember that. Try to put it into your combo after you hit your ulti, as that's when it will most likely hit.

1000th LoL Win

2011-06-03T20:41:00.000-07:00

I just got my 1000th normal game win on LoL. Well okay it was a few days ago, but at 999 wins I decided to make a thread asking Phreak to play with me. He actually said yeah.

My god it was crazy as hell. He has to be the ballsiest mother fucker i've ever seen. Overextending when all are MIA, past the first turret, and no one is near him. And he makes it out with a triple.

Needless to say, we won. We won hard. All in all, it was a great game and a great day.

Not Posting Much

2011-05-29T12:21:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I haven't been posting much. Yesterday I had to go to a wedding in St. Louis so I didn't really get to do much. At all. I did play persona 3 psp, so I guess that counts as doing something.

Anyway, it was all worth it though because they had a chocolate fountain there. Man I miss that thing.

I'll try to post every day now that I don't have to go anywhere for awhile. Most of it will be about LoL, of course.

Speaking of LoL, I just got an email about the new Tribunal system. Apparently from 16 cases I've done I earned 80 IP. That's just crap. I can buy what? A tier 1 rune. Oh well, I guess it's a decent amount from just doing it in between games. Still, 5 IP from 1 case? Blah. I need a chocolate fountain.

MacLaren is a boss.

2011-05-27T16:19:00.000-07:00

He's amazingly awesome and could beat anyone in a 1v5. He could beat hotshotGG in a 1v2 and get a pentakill. Like he could totally do some stuff and get some more kills and do more stuff. He is the most interesting man in the world.

If he were an ice cream he'd be chocolate, because everyone likes him. Except for fags because they don't like chocolate. Wait that makes no sense. Nevermind he'd be vanilla because he's so plain and no one can hate him. That's better.

He did not ask me to write this. That's a lie, don't say that.

Also rawmeat3000 is awesome.

Anyway, for real. His video is here if you haven't seen it and play league of legends. Which is a 10% chance.

I feel so dirty for this post.

I have the best/worst job ever

2011-05-26T05:46:00.000-07:00

I work on the Flow team at target, which basically means I help unload the truck and stock the shelves at 5:30 in the morning. At first I thought it was going to be slow paced, simple, etc. Damn was I wrong.

Unloading the truck is the worst part. It reminds me a lot of that I Love Lucy episode where they get the job wrapping candy. Boxes come down the line and we have to put them on palettes based on what number is on the box. The boxes get stacked pretty high so if you mess that up the boxes will fall or you'll have to re-do it.

This usually lasts about an hour to an hour and a half. After that we have until 8 to get every box unpacked and on the shelves. Half the time we barely make it or are off by about 5 minutes, and there's about 30+ people doing this.

After my first few days, I had 7 blisters all together. Then again I'm lazy as hell so I wasn't expecting something quite so crazy. I love the job, but damn do I get tired. It never gets boring because there's always something to do, so that's a plus.

League of Legends vs. Heroes of Newerth

2011-05-25T09:07:00.000-07:00

I'm just going to get this out of the way early so I won't have to later on and have people ask questions.

I actually do play HoN a little and I love it. Personally, I play LoL more but that's only because my friends play it since HoN costs money. That's one thing about LoL, you don't have to pay a cent. Sort of.

If you don't buy anything with money in League of Legends then it's basically impossible for you to get every champion. At the same time though there's free weeks and you will rarely ever need every champion in the game.

HoN is fairly cheap for the replay value (Especially since i got it when it was only $10, hell yeah). It's a lot more fast paced and games seem to go a little quicker.

They both have their ups and downs and are both great games. They feel a lot different but skill does somewhat transfer over between the two. It's like comparing apples and oranges, it's hard to do. Even though oranges are obviously superior.

First Thing's First

2011-05-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

This is just going to be a personal blog with all my rants, ideas, etc. I just feel I just need to get some things off my chest.

So, first thing's first.

I fucking hate Teemo. If you've ever played League of Legends, you'll probably know what i'm talking about. That is unless you main him, you little faggot.

He's definitely the most useless champion in the game right now, and yes I do know that Rainman mains him and is a top tier player. You can't do what he does, so stop trying. Unless you can go 10/0/10 on average with him, stop picking him.

And the mushrooms, dear god the mushrooms. Usually they're pretty obvious where they are and I like to pop them for fun, but then there's the people who get crafty and put them in places just to piss me off. What's that? Someone's low? RANDOM MUSHROOM IN THE WEIRDEST PLACE EVER. And I die.

So, that gets that post out of the way and I will never have to talk about Teemo ever again. I hope.

I guess that kind of kills the point of this blog being named Teemo hate if I'll never talk about him again, but I'm sure i'll get penta-killed by one and come back.
