The Patient

Came with the new WoW 3.3 patch launched about a month ago was this new "Looking-for-group" tool. With this tool, and the new cross-server instancing, now it's just easier to get a group to run instances. There was this achievement that reward you with "The Patient" title, once you group with 50 random people to run instances. I got it on my shaman not long ago and just got one for my warlock today.

Of all three level 80 toons I have, I think my warlock deserve the title the most. Why?

Out of the three toons, he's the only pure dps class I have while the other two are mostly healing. With this totally random group, sometime you got to group with really bad tanks, or healers. And regardless of how well your dps perform, bad tanks/healers could really just wipe the group easily. And it happened to my warlock several times already.

I'm pretty certain my healers are good enough to keep the group going. I rarely had issues with the PuGs when I do my random instance run using the tool. So yes, that's why I'll just show the title only on the warlock, who deserves the most!

Bored, Soooo Bored

Oh geez... I felt like I had nothing to do for the whole day, Saturday. I finished Dragon Age around Monday and don't really feel like playing it again right now. My WoW game time is currently expired (since Dec 10th.)

Besides looking into Joomla, installing it, looking at people's Facebook page, I did nothing else... since 10 in the morning and it's already 3 in the morning!

...Maybe I should just renew my WoW.

Joomla! Installed, Now What?

I was so bored.  My WoW game time was expired and I still have no desire to renew the account. I finished Dragon Age: Origins the other day (took about 90 hours) and don't feel like playing it again (just yet) so I just installed Joomla! to my server.

Now that the Joomla site is done, I still have no idea what would I do with it. At first I thought I'd learn how to use it but well, there is really no contents I'd want to put in. Maybe I'll just leave it there for now? Gosh... I need something to do, something fun... so I won't go crazy.

My New Favorite?

I haven't played WoW much lately. Started with being swamped with too many things I needed to do, plus the tiredness from driving through San Mateo bridge during the Bay Bridge closure.

Then there was this new game that was release just about a week ago:

It's a RPG game (Non-MMO) which means I have to deal with zero human. I've been looking at some "alternative" to WoW for quite some time. Was thinking about Demon's Souls on PS3 but I heard it wasn't that forgiving and could be too tough for me.

Anyhow, I picked up Dragon Age Origins (PC version) and got a chance to play it over the weekend. Without going into details, I must say this game is really satisfying, at least for me.

As for WoW, my guild doesn't really do well since we are half casual. I'll probably log on to play with them from time to time (there is no attendance requirement) and most likely do hard mode stuff with a small group of friends (and also better players in guild.)

I must say DA could be my new favorite (of the month.) Heh…

Buy.com on Amazon

buycom_onamazonWas looking at some memory card reader on Amazon.com earlier today and I found something strange on the site. The item I was looking at was being offered by Buy.com.

I thought they were major competitors. ... Strange things always happen.

Oh Good!

Finally, Bay Bridge reopens just after 9 this morning! Yay!

Though, I had to come to work early so I used San Mateo bridge route. But now that my bridge is back, I should be a little happier.

Dear CalTrans

baybridgeI hate you.

Give me back my bridge, please. Also, give me back my time spending on your "alternate  routes." Free toll when Bay Bridge is back to service would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Me.
