For some football?!

It’s that time.. forming a league from my AIE raid team and a few other WoW friends (or whoever) that might want to join in. I’ll add more teams if the first 10 fill up fast.. and scrap it?? if only 4 or so. Not sure.

Standard NFL.com fantasy rules are applying, draft on the 6th.  I know this is starting kinda late.. hoping to get at least 10 folks in.

Will anyone currently playing WoW be using the RealID?  I think I’ll give it a try.  The “friends of friends” being able to see your real name is a bit of a turn off.  I don’t understand why they can’t just have the option to use a username that is shown instead of forcing real name to expand their social networking aspect of it.

A new WIT from Jay.  I’m speechless.  I’m also stumped at the moment.  Fire truck outside your childhood home you burned down when you were 8 years old?  *shrug* I’m just playing the odds.

Please don’t kill me.

Today was Jason’s day I guess.  Nothing fancy on the avatar.. just figured you might like that.  Here’s a choice of styles.. not incredibly happy with all.. but varied file sizes (all are still pretty small).  As usual, tell me if you want something different or changed or aren’t ever gonna bother using (so I can stop hosting)

this one is transparent in the middle too.

Where’s our WIT? ….

Protect yourself!  It’s not just for WoW players.. this can be used against you for any other sensitive info.  Adobe vulnerabilities aren’t generally made known through mainstream information outlets.  Here’s a heads up for you though.

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9.x, and could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash 10.1, Release Candidate 7 (available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/), does not appear to contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible. Earlier versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat, specifically version 8.x, do not appear to contain this vulnerability, either.

It’s a fast install of the plugin.. whole process of D/L to install took me about 30 seconds that was including virus scanning it.  Don’t get hacked.

I have another SC2 Beta key to give away.  Anyone else interested?  The beta is closing at the end of May for unknown period of time.  They say it will reopen several weeks before the launch on 7/27/10 though.  Let me know.

Portal.  I’d heard about it, heard the song about it, knew about it.  Never got it.

Now that’s it’s free (till 5/24/10) I have it!  Pretty fun game with what seems like twisted logic but once you get each step it all makes sense.  I’ll try and promise to keep the “cake is a lie” crap to a minimum.

I didn’t have Steam either.  I’d heard of a few really good deals on games through it before.  I just never cared enough.  I have it now and might actually get some of the stuff that goes on sale.   We’ll see.

Speaking of new games.. Red Dead Redemption comes out today.  Hard to resist a good western and this looks like a good game.  Even if the kids won’t be playing it, I’m considering picking it up this week.

Sorry Billings.. I totally forgot about the definition of the Fword I said I’d throw up here.  It’s quite humorous and chock full of the grandest expletive goodness ever so do NOT listen to this .wav file around your children or grandmother.

Finally have a morning raid team going!  Jason and I are going strong together in it.  We’ve made our way to Queen in the first week together basically.  We have a few that haven’t been in Icecrown Citadel yet and a chunk that have been partially through and one that’s been through it all seemingly.

We’ve made a few mistakes in fighting there, but we’ve all learned pretty fast and have adapted to the fights well.  We play together on Wed/Fri/Mon mornings.  I’d like to start an hour earlier but it’s not gonna work out for a few others.  All the raid teams in <alea iacta est> have names.. since we are a morning crew fueled on copious amounts of coffee, we named our team:
