So as the title suggests, my comp is pretty much next to dead. Over the past couple days I've been battling to get my comp back to 100% operational with little to no success. It used to cease up constantly on boot. I finally got it to boot but it still will cease up every few seconds for 5 to 30 seconds at a time. It even stops calculating the time, as I type this my computer has fallen 22 minutes behind what my phone says after just a couple hours of being on.

It's hard to even run the internet, as I type this it is stuck at the beginning of this sentence as it's trying to figure out wtf to do with all these keyboard inputs. Needless to stay that in this state my comp cant even remotely run wow and is continuing to piss me off. Even steaming you tube seems to be an impossibility at this point. This is probably the end of my raiding career since I won't have the money to get a new computer until student loans come in so I can buy my school comp, unless, of course, I win the lotto or some other miracle happens. But even then, when my loans do come in It will be the fall when my classes start at 6:30pm and continue to 9, so I would be out of the week day raiding game anyway.

Best of luck to you all in KB on those achievements! I wish I was there to complete them all with you guys. As for Existential Rabbit, go ahead and give someone else my permanent spot, though I would love to come back to raid with you all on the weekends if a spot opens and I get my laptop. I obviously cant ask you to save my spot for a couple months.

A man goes to work in the morning, to a job he apparently doesn't like. He searches for new jobs for awhile, applies to one or two, and then, he starts up a new search: A Google image search for "hemorrhoids". The last image he decides to click on redirects him to a fake AV site. The bad part is, the unsuspecting fellow who had to run the attribution forensics on the virus alert wasn't paying enough attention as he searched the other man's cache and pulled up a good hemorrhoid shot before he noticed the file names. Trying to click on something else to get the retina-burning image off his screen, he could only seem to find more hemerrhoid shots. After six or seven pics he finally found something other than raw anus to view.

The End

Nuitarin's current interfaceThis is a screenshot of my interface while tanking Hodir on 7-17. I labeled most of the addons I use where they show up on the picture. Its mostly standard except I have a feral specific addon called FeralByNight. It provides a frame that suggests what move to use depending on how much rage/energy you have and what debuffs are on the target. Its usefull for cat dps but not so much for bear tanking. It also has a proc monitor to tell when trinkets/idols/enchants activate. I use the following macro along with a separate button for maul and demo roar to do most of my tanking on a single target:

/castsequence reset=6 Faerie Fire (Feral)(), Lacerate(Rank 3),Mangle (Bear)(Rank 5), Swipe (Bear)(Rank 8),Lacerate(Rank 3)

This keeps FFF and Mangle on cooldown almost always and maintains Lacerate on the target in most cases. Parrys and dodges by the boss when tanking in mitigation gear with low hit and expertise sometimes allows the Lacerate stack to drop, but using the macro helps my situational awareness.

I FRAPSed the hodir kill so you could see the interface in action: YouTube

Back yet?  Good. Now that you're back from changing your pants from laughter-poop I have to share my favorite line from that article:

Here’s where it gets tricky. When you tell 25 people to go to The Caverns of Time, seven of them don’t know what that is, two of them aren’t playing anymore, one fell asleep in his pizza, two have to drive their kids to therapy, one tells you to shut the fuck up, four are rebooting their computers, one is getting kicked off by his parents, two are lost foreigners who thought this was the train station, one is pressing enter on the same Chuck Norris joke over and over, two of them tell everyone to go to three different places and one is your girlfriend bitching at you about how much this sucks.

That makes me LOL endlessly and I just wanted to share. Also, for the first time in my life, I've found the EXACT set of words to describe what it's like to lead a raid and then watch your raiders fuck it up spectacularly:

Imagine you’re trying to teach your son to play baseball. You teach him the rules, how to throw, how to swing and when you tell him to go for it, he throws the ball into the side of his own head, runs the wrong way and tries to sell a blowjob to an undercover cop. Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible

Dear Diary:
 
 May 30th: My husband and I just moved to Texas from up North. Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home.. I love it here.
 
 June 10th: It’s really heating up. Got to 100 today! Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.
 
 June 14th: Had the backyard landscaped with southern plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for us! Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
 
 June 30th: The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat and humidity is taking longer than I expected.
 
 July 10th: Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.) Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ole' sun in a climate like this.
 
 July 15th: I missed Morgan (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Morgan had died and was swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $2,000 leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.
 
 July 20th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the A/C repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts!
 
 July 21st: Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. $1,500 in house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
 
 July 22nd: It's 105 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today... It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85, but this humidity makes the house feel like it's about 95. Dumb repairman peed in my pool. I hate this stupid state!
 
 July 23rd: If another wiseass cracks "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to strangle him. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!
 
 July 24th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts and sat on the black leather seats in the car. I lost two layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.
 
 July 25th: The weather report might as well be a recording: Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for two months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. How can it WARM UP when it’s already 1000 freakin’ degrees? Doesn't it ever rain in this desert?? Water rationing will be next, so I might as well watch $1700 worth of cactus just dry up and blow into the pool! Even the cactus can't live in this heat!
 
 July 26th: Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 105 today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" 
 
 My husband had to spend the $1500 house payment to bail me out of jail.
 

Dang South! WHAT KIND OF A SICK DEMENTED PERSON WOULD WANT TO LIVE HERE!?!??!!
