Want in SCII beta? Now might be your chance.
Ewiges — Mon, 04/19/2010 - 20:51
So if you've been trying to get into SCII but just haven't, this post is
for you.
So first off, there is rumor of a huge invite wave coming. A huge SCII
patch is due for the end of April and that is to coincide with a full
beta reset and an rumored invite wave.
The star-craft wave book been giving about 50 beta keys away a day.
Through out the day they will say incoming keys in 10 minutes. In
roughly 10 minutes they post a picture with keys. These keys may be
written backwards, squiggly, or missing digits.
Team Liquid (the pro/elitest forum) recently got 50 beta keys. Blizzard
liked the way they gave now out and just gave them 500 beta keys. Head
over there for more information.

My Dramatic Conclusion!!!!
Ewiges — Tue, 04/13/2010 - 18:34
Well ladies and gentlemen, friends and enemies, beloved group 5 healers, and face-in-floor fellow rogues; the time has finally come.
So I've been looking at this date for about 4 months now, and been thinking about this post for about a week. April 15th (Thursday) will mark the date when my account expires. As most of you know I've rarely logged in since 2010, and my WoW career practically ended with the end of Burning Crusade when I retired from raiding.
Now I'd love to keep my account up just to log in, say hello, see familiar players, and play peggle; however, I have not paid for a WoW account for several years now and Blizzard did not send me a Christmas card this year (Blizzard x-mas cards = 1 free year). So until further notice I will not be logging into the realm of Azeroth anymore.
On the contrary, it looks like I may be getting a free blizzcon ticket (though some of you know how every year it seems like that but it has fallen through sometimes). So those attending Blizzcon I may see you there. If Blizzard gives me a Cataclysm copy I will probably casually play again (got a free Wrath copy). I also read the forums daily so I won't be a stranger.
My Dramatic Conclusion:
So as many of you know I've always been the blamer when people got hacked. "Well have you ever given your password to anyone", "When was the last time you changed it", "Do you share a computer", etc etc...
Well playing since beta, my luck has finally come back on me. Although I haven't logged in for several weeks my account got compromised a few days ago. Knowing my account was expiring soon I keep getting these feelings to make sure my reoccurring billing is turned off. I got this hunch the other day and went to log into account management to be greeted with incorrect password. So I reset the password and try to log into game to get a banned notice. About half an hour later I get an email that says auto-banned for having possible virus/trojon/keygen on my computer as a safety precaution. The time of the unban was exactly 24 hours from the current time. Seeing what items were missing, or lack there of, I think I stopped them mid hack. Anyways, posted a GM ticket and saw an email this morning saying all my characters are restored with the list of items.
So what I can't figure out. I searched my computer and came up nil for virus, keygen, trojons, spyware, or anything of the sort. But even if I did have a keygen I haven't logged in for awhile. However, I have logged into SCII beta at least once a day which also uses your b.net account and password. But talking to people it seems like 'Brute Force' can get anyone's account. (So get your damn authenticators if you care about your account).
So thats my story, gonna proof-read, and see ya on the forums but farewell in Azeroth!
My 'toon name means . . .
Boann — Thu, 04/08/2010 - 23:11
I've had a few people ask me about my 'toon so I thought I'd just throw a post up with some quick information. I ganked this straing from this site.
Boann in Myth
There are a couple of variations on the myth of the goddess Boann, but one element tends to remain the same - she was the wife of Nechtan, a god of the water. Likewise, Boann was herself a water-goddess, and one of her myths concerns the water. According to legend, there was a sacred well (Sidhe Nechtan) that contained the source of knowledge. All were forbidden to approach this well, with the exception of the god Nechtan (as was noted, Boann's husband) and his servants. Boann ignored the warnings, and strode up to the sacred well, thus violating the sanctity of the area. For this act, she was punished, and the waters of the defiled well swelled and were transformed into a raging river, a river that pursued her. In some versions, she was drowned; while in others, she managed to outrun the currents. In either case, this water became the river that was known henceforth as the Boyne, and Boann thereafter became the presiding deity.
Another aspect of the myth of Boann is that she bore Oenghus. She and the leader of the Tuatha De Danaan, the Dagdha, engaged in an illicit affair that resulted in the birth of this god of love. However, since both Boann and the Dagdha wished to keep their rendezvous a secret, they used their divine powers to cause the nine month gestation period to last but a single day - or so it seemed, for the sun was frozen in the sky for those nine months, never setting and never rising. On this magical day, Oenghus emerged into the world.
So yeah, I named my 'toon after a Celtic Goddess of water who has an interesting back story. :-D
The Courts: Comcast v FCC and Net Neutrality
Dragon — Wed, 04/07/2010 - 07:17
Due to the massive size of text I will NOT be linking the full case brief as written out by the U.S. Court of Appeals in their decision. This will be updated throughout the day until I feel as if I am done. Some things of note before reading my arguments:
#1. I will for the most part try to leave my own personal position on this out of whatever I type.
#2. The ONLY sources I'll accept are those with a link to the actual pdf write up by the Case by the Court of Appeals in Comcast v FCC when dealing with facts of the case itself lest others need to come into play.
a. Comcast v FCC This is a link to the actual Courts opinion on the case however it is a 3rd party link as I cannot get one from the Actual U.S. Courts website yet. This link does provide full text of the brief however.
#3. Discussion is encouraged however flaming of others will result in possible deletions of comments
#4. Depending on how this goes I might look into doing similar things on other hot topic court cases at varying levels.
Social Experiment: Countdown to Destruction
saedo — Tue, 04/06/2010 - 03:04
Hello everyone on this Tuesday morning. I would like to take this opportunity to just say I've recently become a fan of this Glenn Beck fellow. He is very entertaining, like watching a real life Eric Cartman or something. So I just felt I had to contribute to the cause, here's my thoughts....
So the Democrats installed a foreigner as president. But why... They suddenly want to drill on American soil... And they just signed some secret pact with the Russians to destroy American nuclear stockpiles. That must be it, they're letting the Communists invade America for its oil reserves under the pretence of getting at the Weapons of Mass Destruction! Ingenious!
But there must be more to this, Obama's endgame. He pushed hard for this Health Care Bill, again why. To make everyone healthier? Stronger? Faster? You know what this sounds like? The Nazi Super Soldier program. So that's it! Obama's creating a nazi super army out of ordinary citizens.
With such a large fighting force built, it stands to reason it'll be used. Where? Mexico. That's right, there's no other choice but to invade Mexico. But here's where decades of planning come into play. They've purposely let Mexicans into the US for years, cause to them, US is the "promised land". The ones that continually "escape" into America only inspires others to follow. So when that Nazi army rolls in, they'll welcome them with open arms cause they've been liberated.
But what of Canada? The northern border... Well they're so far north anyways sharing a border with Russia so that makes them practically Communists already. Obama's programs have already taken steps into joining their Socialist Commie union.
Back to the Mexicans, with such an influx into the American population, that can't be just the end of it. Here's where the Census comes into play. Oh it was no coincidence that they happened to want to make everyone do it now. The population must be categorized. Then the internment camps can set up.
But who to put in those camps? Well with the Mexicans, it would add to the brown skin population. And you know who else are brown skinned? Arabs. That's right, with this, the Muslim population would dramatically increase. Then there's one logical group of people left to put in the death camps, Christians. Every one of those will be rounded up and put in front death panels!
And that's Obama's endgame! Creating a Communist Nazi Muslim state!
My Book Review Blog
Boann — Mon, 03/22/2010 - 20:18
If any of you find that you have five or ten extra minuets on the internet and just don't know how to spend them I've got a suggestion for you. Go take a look at my book review blog, Boann's leabhran ait, on blogger. I just reviewed Silverfall, by Ed Greenwood. This is a stand alone Forgotten Realms book about the seven daughters of Mystra. Thanks for taking the time to read my silly blog post. ;-D
