YAR AHOY MATEY!!!

Yar here be some piratey stuff



My pirate name is:


Mad Bartholomew Flint



Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.


me pirate personality
You are The Cap'n!



Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Talk like a pirate day!

Ahoy Mateys, today be talk like a pirate day. in honor of this beloved day everyhting me pirate hand have typed so far has been pirate. i loaded WoW and had to deal with non-pirate folk. They be using non- pirate jargon!!!! Worst of all tehy didnt know it be talk like pirate day!!!! [OH TEH NOES!!!1!!!] Avast, i spread the faith. bringing followers into the pirate life. But to no avail most of dem stayed land lubbers. dat be a disapointing fact, dat most of the people be non pirate folks. GGGARRR but do ye think that stopped me!!! I plundered teh towns and drank plenty of beer. I teased the lassies and had a pirate dance at the inn. I gave people headaches and was reported to the GM again. Avast, some people even said ninja's be better than pirates!! Yar maybe me's should stop messing with blizzard so much. If me cause too much trouble I could be runnin from the authorities forever, never again to enjoy the hearty sea... YAR HAR talk like a pirate day lives on!! None of ye shall stop it wrath.

WoW

Today i had great fun on WoW. This guy named Parol decided to tell me that he had repoted my name "thesponge" becuase it went against the RP server rules. i was forced to change it to "sponge". but i decided to see how far i could take it. I bugged this guy for about an 1 1/2 till he finnaly quit, But i didnt stop there i KEPT going. I screamed insults, called him a noob whale and a boon and such... i followed him around and spammed him until he reported me again here is the convo that ensued. a guy recorded the fight and the link to the file is down below.

GM-"Greeting sponge. This is GM krynore. How are you today?

me-"not so good"

GM-"im sorry to hear that, what is wrong?

me-"do you have to talk in proper english?"

GM-"it is always good practice."

GM-"I was just contacting you to warn you not to harrass other player, certain actions will be taken if you continue."

so i tell him the story...

GM-"i see please refrain harrassing other player, im sorry your name was deemed inapropriate"

me-"..."

me-" i dont care about the name i just hate that this guy parol is acting like a little snitch and reports for every little rule. Right now there is a guy next to me in violation of the same rule i was. Do you think he even knows? he jsut wants to play not worry about his name being 2words put together.

GM-"I'm just giving you a fair warning."

me-"ok, fangy wants to know when he is going to get his soul back"

gm-"thank you for playing world of warcraft, have a nice day!"

Also I then recieved this e-mail.

But i have this to combat it

Role-Playing realms can either be Normal realms or Player vs. Player realms. When a Role-Playing realm is Normal it is called RP; all game mechanics are the same as on a Normal realm. When a Role-Playing realm is a Player vs. Player realm also it is called RP PvP, and again, all game mechanics are the same as on a Player vs. Player realm (for example, on an RP PvP realm you still can not attack members of you own faction even if it would sometimes make sense from a role-playing point of view).

Pros
  • If you want to create a "real life" for your character, a Role-Playing realm gives you the best opportunity to do that.
  • You can count on many other players to support you by role-playing their characters too.
Cons
  • There are no automatic game rewards for role-playing, and no game mechanics are altered (if you give a rose to a felhound it will still try to eat you).
  • Not everyone will act as you would like and the experience can sometimes be frustrating.
Sentence to remember: If I choose to play on a Role-Playing realm, I will act and speak as my character should in the World of Warcraft setting.

So i guess i broke the rules and didnt at the same time!!!

I do not suggest anyone to do this... i only did it cuz this guy really pissed me off. hopefully ill get to bug him in the future and probably get banned. plz dont pull a sponge and do this. Rofl and blizzard would probably say that..."makes our jobs harder", in my opinion i gave the GM's something to do.

To watch the vid even though only the text is the good part click the link below!

Xbox 360

Well i preordered my xbox 360 and sold my original xbox but gates has said that the xbox 360 is going to be hack proof it really makes me want to hack it... not sure how long it would take me but i know i could. Maybe someone should help make a website for the xbox 360 hack where people wold donate money for xbox 360's and modder teams would just spend time trying to hack them and post news about it on the website...

metal slug and red eye

Well i have been searching for a good flash port of metal slug and i cant find one that is good... think im gonan try to get one of the ROM's so i can play, i saw red eye and it was pretty entertaining only thing was the chick was acting so stupid when she was on the plane though it all worked out in the end...

Hurricane Katrina

Well as we all know many people have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. I really am ashamed of how long it took out government to react to the disaster, and for all those people out there that are confused why people will not leave their houses and who are shooting at rescue workers... they thought they were abandoned by their government. Everyone has their own reasons I do not agree with shooting the rescue workers but they are acting jsut like the terrorists. The terrorists are not fighting cuz they feel like it they are fighting for a reason, so if anyone is a terrorist it has to be Bush at the moment. I encourage the guy who told Cheney to F*** off and some serious reform needs to happen. when i figure out this blog's code ill add a video and update that every now and then... leave your comments.

first post

Well this is my first post... most likely no one will read this but i do not care. i plan to post my thoughts and feelings on this blog... and give props to my podcast and maybe this will get moved to its own URL if and when i get one.
