Nerd Alert: A Look Back at the Burning Crusade! World of Warcraft

From now on, Nerd Alert will be a section of my blog for world of warcraft!

my my, the world of warcraft my stress reliever, the expansion is coming out this Thursday and for sure i will be falling in line at 12 am. in the cold with other warcraft fans for the midnight launch. the excitement is in the air a new chapter for nerds and adventure lovers.

Now a look back at the Burning Crusade, the past expansion! i would have to say that it was great, if i had to give the game a review it would be an A++, lots of good stuff and story line. Had lots of sleepless nights, great dungeons and raids, if i was given a choice i would still delay the next expansion so i could see more content of the burning crusade but that's that, i could say that i have seen 92% of the content and that's fine with me, im a casual gamer not a hardcore one.

i am still inlove with my mage Vetkin, he kicks butt with fireballs and flames, trolls rule. Burning crusade time, i have decided to make my very first alt, the hot and feisty shadow priest Francheska, and i got to say, she turned out better than expected, not only was she leet, but in my opinion she helped the guild greatly in clearing out dungeons with ease with her off healing and mana regen, come expansion time she might not see much playing time, but she will be getting some action i guarantee it.. but she might be a healer in the future.

the greatest guild in the world...... of warcraft, Prolong The Torment! the guild has seen its ups and downs in the expansion, the ups, clearing out and farming karazhan with 3 groups, hitting Gruul's lair with 25 members and almost clearing ZA! i would say that it was pretty great for a casual guild. Was really fun! then of course the decline, with so much peeps, diversity, differences and opinions there would definitely be arguments and drama. with that a lot of peeps left for personal reasons others want to see higher content so the raiding ceased. Then comes the up again, the main members stayed, started to rebuild the fun and excitement, stuck with our values and started having fun again, new faces and personalities the guild is back to its old form a family of fun loving and respectful people,. come expansion time we will rise to the top again! i love my guild and i will never move, was tempted too move to other hardcore raiding guilds but ive been in PTT for so long that i don't think i can manage without my online family. best casual guild in Alexstrasza!

Overall it was hella fun, great experiences and more to come once the expansion gets here!

Long Live The Torment!

NBA: Evaluating the fantasy team

Im so excited, the nba season is upon us and it begins today with two excellent double headers. FIrst off my much hated Boston Celtics, with the exception of Kevin Garnett vs. King James and his cavaliers, i just hope the Celtics lose. Next is the purple and gold led by kobe and his big men company vs Portland's young and athletic team. Portland is good but the lakers are God, wait for Bynum to own Oden down the paint. Go Lakers.

Now for the fantasy team line up. I got to say i have yet to win a fantasy gold tile, but for the past years that i have been playing 2006 i got 3rd place, 2008 i got 2nd place, which leads to 2009 CHAMPIONS! i can only hope that my players are healthy enough to finish, but now i have two players who might not even start because of injuries so here goes.

PG:
1.Tony Parker-one of the best point guards in the game, He is one of the reasons that the Spurs are still tough and are still a team to beat in the western conference, with his assist and scoring ability, there should be no problem at the pg position.
(PG RESERVES)
Jameer Nelson-had a good season last year, hopefully will have another good season this year.

SG/G:
1.Richard Hamilton-the man with the iron mask, one of my favorite players, can score and good at crunch time.
(SG/G RESERVES)
Ray Allen- Deadly shooter, scoring streak but a Celtic heh thats a toss up.
Mike Miller-excellent shooter but cant defend so we will see.

SF:
Ron Artest-NBA's badboy after Rodman, i didn't put him as a reserve because i love his toughness and defense.
(SF RESRERVE)
Luol Deng-hopes this guy has a good season, he is one of the best players in the bulls with his length and the ability to finish.

F:
Carmelo Anthony-can be compared to Lebron and Dwayne Wade, got game but needs to improve on defense, lets see if his Camby less Nuggets can secure a spot in the playoffs.

PF:
Chris Bosh-one of my favorite players, tremendous passion for the game and excellent defender, proved his abilities in the olympics.
Lamar Odom-definitely the sleeper on my roster,can be great one night and can have good nights and off nights therefore inconsistent. Prediction this will be his breakout year and he will win the 6th man award! go Lamar!
David West-with last seasons success of the Hornets, this all star will provide me with solid stats.

C:
Amare Stoudemire-excellent game, rebounds,blocks and points, Amare's got game but his laker hate is really bugging me.
(PF reserves)
Tyson Chandler-Alley-Oop Dunking monster, has passion and brings tenacity to the hornest, excellent pick up!

there we have it, i hope these guys stay healthy all season, dont want to trade any of them, but are welcome to any ideas!

Predictions: Lakers 2009 Champions! woot!

NERD ALERT: World of Warcraft Mount!

woot woot! yes as you may know i am addicted to world of warcraft and i am a nerd about it,and last night was the best experience yet. Hallow's end event is a halloween event in WOW and i think its the best one, and for the main event you have to kill a headless horseman in the process. Me and my guildies managed to kill him and guess what dropped? a super rare item which is his epic flying mount, with anticipation everyone needed on it,and hell yes! i was the one who won it! i got to say it really made my day, for a long time, this has got to be the best thing that ever happened to me in wow so im pretty psyched about it. Yes i know im a nerd, but that makes me, me, so deal with it!

The Palku's

I miss em! I miss the stories and the booze, the laughter and the tears, the jokes and the girls, the problems and advice! man i love these guys, i dont consider them to be just my casual friends, to me their family and they are irreplaceable. like the saying goes, there is no place like home! and yes when im with them im home. Hanging out with these guys is the best and they are true friends not some fake ones who would stab you in the back. Our routine usually starts at around 11:00 pm... everyone hangs out at "the post" its a joint street in my hometown, and it literally is an electrical post, lol, from then on we share stories and whatever nonsense we come up with, come 12:30-1:00 a.m. if we have the money we pitch in to buy beer, ice, generoso and pulutan! well our pulutan varies if we have left over food from dinner, we bring it out! its better to use it as pulutan than just waste it! and you know what they say,nothing beats home cooking! we enjoy sisig, happy peanuts and i think the best pulutan is something that comes in a can and you cook it with dairy cream margarine, which is sardines mixed with margarine! i love it! as the night pushes through we share thoughts and opinions about problems with our daily lives, girls and relationship what not! sometimes we ridicule each other with nasty jokes, but its all good, and for the problems that we have, you get very good insight and advice, because no one knows a problem better than the one who experienced and dealt with it and i know that almost all of us have problems, and the greatest solutions for them is a beer and a talk with your friends. As time pushes through with all the laughter and meaningless story telling and life experiences, our happy hour of drinking ends at about 7:00 am. the latest that i drank with my friends is until 10 am. after that, we usually head to Manoy's or any other casual carenderia where they serve Lugaw and Tapsilog and of course fried rice and sabaw with chili sauce! the best! at these point were sober and sleepy.... then after some good shut eye the cycle starts again at 11:00pm. that i would have to say is one of the best experiences in my life, and when i go back home i would do it over and over again with the palku's! i miss you guys like hell!

Wicked Week!

Heroes: this week i have to say that i am pretty much awed by my physical geography professor, ms. Crystal Lovetere! literally her class rocks! that's the only reason i enjoy my Wednesday night class. She makes geography fun, her comments are really funny and she has this dating tips, why is the sky blue? hahaha now i can tell you the answer to that.. anyways what impressed me the most was how she changed her lifestyle to save planet earth! seriously our minds are so washed up that we dont think about simple stuff that can help prevent global warming or just to save nature! i truly like her insight on things.. she inspired me! so from now on, less water bottles for me, no more paper plates and plastic cups! Go Earth!
