I do not remember how i stumbled upon this movie but I did, and it is amazing. I just finished watching all 2 hours 25 minutes of it and I am flabbergasted. It completely smashed my expectations of being 'just a fan video'. The first section is abundantly clear that an amature made it, fortunately it is only 15 minutes long but contains valuable back story. The second part was vastly improved with the advent of voice overs and slightly better editing. Then there is the third section that is just amazingly well done and if it wasn't for the graphical limitations of WoW it would be movie quality. Over all this is as good as, if not better than most movies you can go rent from BlockBuster. And its FREE! I give it two thumbs up.

I am no expert on Warcraft lore and I don't pretend to be, but there is defiantly quite a bit of lore involved in this movie. It may all be lore or may have some creative aspects added to it, I'm not sure. My friend who knows all is currently visiting family in Lebanon (or consulting with his fellow terrorists as I like to say :P) so I can't ask him exactly how much of the story line is lore. None the less this is a movie that demands you grab some popcorn and a soda, sit down, get comfortable and enjoy.

Not too long ago you all read my resignation letter from raiding. As it turns out there have been some fortuitous changes in my class schedule. Before I had a class Monday and Wednesday and another class on Tuseday and Thursday that overlapped with raid times. At earliest (MW) I would have gotten out of class 30 mins after raid had already started. However, as the deadline for payments approached my adviser called me and let me know that some spots had opened up in both classes that I had wait listed on.

I seized the chance to take those spots so that I can get off earlier. Both of these classes start at 10:00am and therefore free up my evenings! My last classes now end at roughly 5:00pm (4:00 server) so I will be back with plenty of time to spare! Hopefully I will still be able to fill my old raid spot and continue the fun I have had with you guys. If not, hopefully i can weasel my way back into a raid spot like i did back in SSC :P

After raid tonight I looked back at the experience. We had a night full of wipes on a more or less farm boss, and yet, I still had a blast! I deduced that this is because downfall is such a great, fun guild to be in. I hopped into a vent channel with HBK and we started discussing why downfall is such an awesome guild. I came to this deduction: Downfall is such an awesomer guild because Dwarves are the superior race! Lowe and behold, the leader of Downfall is a dwarf! Thats right you heard it, I'm better than you.(Unless your a dwarf, then we are equal) :P lol. Continue reading. Please.

During our contemplation of guild leadership and how it affects the sink or swim status of a guild and raid, and how our guild has two, TWO, successful raids I kept in mind how our guild leadership fulfills both of our kindred philosophies. In short, our philosophies dictate that raids and guilds only become successful when the leadership of both possesses certain qualities. Leaders must have compassion for others. Leaders can pick favorites but not let that have any influence upon loot distribution, treatment or fair judgment on internal issues. They must be intelligent enough to comprehend the inner-workings of the human mind so that they can screen away members that may be unhealthy to introduce into our community. Lastly they must be kind and selfless, we cant have a leader who is all about "ME ME ME MINE." It just doesn't work. I call these the Super Superior Qualities.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past few weeks only popping in my head here and there. On top of moving, internet issues and getting sick just to add insult to injury, I have been spending time living with my dad for the past week who conveniently doesn't have internet. College is starting soon so I have been busy setting up appointments with advisers, getting rooming sorted out (they threw me in a dorm with a bunch of English majors when my major will be engineering so I wanted to switch to a dorm with more people that have my same interests.) and registering for classes. Then on top of that I have been working my ass off trying to get a little more money to pay for all of it. Oh and I have been helping finish my uncle's basement building walls, throwing up drywall, texturing, laying in carpet and soon to be installing a bar.

When classes start on August 25th I will most likely be quilting wow cold turkey to focus on classes. I wish I could say I will be available for every raid until then, hell I want to be available, but if things keep going the way they are It looks as if I will be extremely busy. On second thought I may quit more like cool turkey because I have a feeling I will be poking my head in every now and again to see how everyone is doing, I don't think I could not do that.

Hey everyone, just trying to update you all on my current internet situation after the move.

First of all GRATS! I was hoping you all could get that son of a... I mean Kaelgos down before my return :)

As of now I have gotten internet set up but only directly through the modem. My LAN and WLAN need to be resetup. I tohught I would just be able to plug everythign back in and have it all work because it was sert up at my old house. Unfortunantly though that is not the case... I have to dig up the old CD I used to set up my network in the first place. Hopefuly I can find it by tomorrow for raid.

I would hook up my computer here directly to the modem but my sister is homeschooled and the deadline to have everything done is the 6th. I imagine that will take them the better part of the evening, so they need the internet.

Hope to see you all soon, wow I miss WoW. Have a good one.

P.S. This cursed comp doesnt have spell check so dont kill me for errors lol.

Thought I would give everyone an advanced warning.  At the end of this month (May) and the beginning of next I will be moving.  I am unsure when my internet here will be cut of as well as how long it will take to get it set up where I'm going.  At most I won't be able to raid from Wednesday 5/28 to Wednesday 6/4. Hopefully I will get my internet set up over there rather quickly and only miss a couple days rather than a whole week but I don't know the particulars yet.  As I learn more I will update this blog as well as leave a comment on the particular raids I will miss once they are posted.
