To SWTOR or not to SWTOR

So I've decided to opt out of joining the masses playing Bioware's new mmo...for now. Someone told me that space combat was in the game and imagine to my surprise, I coincidentally see a post about it on Kotaku.




I immediately agree with some of the comments that this simple rail shooter just immediately conjures memories of the Rebel Assault series' gameplay. Rebel Assault II was the second PC game I ever purchased, or rather begged on my knees for, but nonetheless I spent hours upon hours playing this game and letting my eyes slurp up all the visual goodness.




Rebel Assault 2 was a hallmark of earlier Star Wars games because it was the first to incorporate live action footage apart from the actual movies. Let's face it, the gameplay wasn't very innovative, but if you were true fan you couldn't care less. I can't believe I actually watched the whole cutscene collection in one sitting...ah nostalgia.

Disc priests/shadow priest 2100 2v2s

Hi guys me and my friend just hit 2100 in 2v2 yesterday as disc priest/ shadow priest. I think is very fun team and would like to give some of strats against the more popular teams and maybe other will give this rare set up a try.

Hunter/Pally: The weakness of this team is that hunters do not have spell reflect so kill them with spelling. Start by dot casting at hunters giraffe pets, when the giraffes come after you, begin heavy dps rotations on their minds. At this point all hunters try to save giraffes because they are companion adventurers together through azeroth. Here is where you victory. When the hunter comes to save giraffes, just darkness priest licorice beam his paladin to slow him, have disc priest power insfuse shadowfiend down the hunter and beamed paladin will be to far in back of arena moving slowly to come save his hunter or giraffes. Collect points.

Rogue/Paladin: The weakness of this team is that rouges cannot disarm traps easily, kill them with hard traps. Start by having the disc priest sparlke explode all over arena to frighten rouge out of invisibility mode. When he is revealed, have darkness priest vampiric grasp him to group heal while disc priest regeneralizes mana recources. When enough resources are gathered you will go on the offense. Here is where you victory. Disc priest controls the mind of the paladin and darkness priest controls minds of the rouge, then darkness type "oh no I have been connection failed." And their teammate will leave arena thinking he is alone now in fight against more opponenets. Collect points.

Rouge/Mage: The weakness of this team is that rouge armor is more hard than mage armor. Start by having darkness priest aoe licorice mage to expose rouges hiding place next to him. When rouge is appeared, disc priest will mana burn cast at the rouge. Rouge thinks now that focus frames or targetting add ons are not functionaly correct and will /reloadui. Here is where you victory. Ui reloading is time consumeable and rouges have cheapest computers. While rougue is slow ui resetting, simply power infusion mind blast fiend fire the magician down, be always prepared to evaporate ice tent when finishing move him. Rouge comes back to find only corpse of adventure companion. Collect points.

Unholy Dk/palladine: The weakness of this team is the Unholy is not as dark as shadow. This is very hard fight but you can win with simply strategy. Start by having darkness priest inflict damaging shadows onto unholy knight while same time as this happening, have disc priest use level 80 move hymn of oh holy night. Oh holy night and unholy knight are almost the same and most paladines have bad eyesight from brightness heals. Paladines will heal hymn from priest thinking it is adventure companion. Here is where you victory. WHile unoholy is not given heals because paladines are blind and heal songs, simply power infuse shadow demon him into corpse form. You have probably won now, make sure to stop hymning as paladin won't know it has been tricked till song stops getting heals. Collect points

You now have posses power to win high rating with bad class, use strategy wise. Ty

Iron Dick Review

Caught a showing of the highly-anticipated Iron Man this past friday. What do I have to say? Solid movie. At Comic-con, director Jon Favreau pointed out Batman Begins was his inspiration on reinventing comic book movies. Plots parallel much? We have a main hero find new direction in his life after some catalytic event with some element from that event come back to challenge his new abilities. I didn't mind much, as they really tried to ground the origin in the realm of possibility. Robert Downey was definitely the best pick for the role of Tony Stark, but the addition of a side love interest with Paltrow as Mrs. Potts felt a bit tacked on. But overall here's what I thought.

Good: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, his relationships with the other characters and his snappy dialogue was very convincing of his playboy attitude, not overusing CG, Jarvis as a sardonic AI program, decent plot with a good balance of action and character development, Full actualization of the Iron Man suit and how it's designed and structured,cameos with Stan Lee and Kramer from Mad Money, 10% thrust.

Bad: Side romance, not enough action sequences, SHIELD Director Nick Fury is bad-ass Sam..oh wait that's not bad at all.

Ugly: Yo momma

If Tony Stark was able to make a miniature arc reactor in a cave with some scraps, what would Macguyver be able to make?

Parkour Go Girls

Whenever I see a Parkour vid, I just nerd rage over their conditioned reflexes, cat-like agility, and near olympian bods to get the job done. Someday I'd like to maybe jump over a five babies lined up in a row, but until then, I'm on spectator mode.


Even though this vid isn't as extreme as others, I'm pretty sure these girls are better than you and me.
