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.

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.

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:

For those that want to take advantage of these new features soon to be released? features..

I guess this stuff isn’t out yet.. is in testing on the PTR now or something.  Sure made it sound like it was rolled out now though.

Crikett missed her old nekkid butt EQ sigs.. and wanted a new one.  Take yer pick or tell me if you decide you want a different twist.

Well.. since I’m playing Jobu a lot now and in a guild.. with a guild website forums… and it’s Tuesday and the servers are down.. I have caught you a delicious bass.. no.. no.. NO! I have made a new signature graphic.

I moved Jobu off the 2nd account onto the first and transfered him.  I am playing with Crikett and a few of the old Darkblood EQ people.  A very few.  Hopefully Dawes will come over to this server too after he gets settled in Korea.  I’m not sure who he’s bringing.. his rogue is the best but doesn’t seem to be needing anything that he could get running with <Wreck List>.  *shrug*  I guess whoever he wants to play still will be who he brings.  Would be a little boring to be running stuff that you’d never improve your character with.  That’s just me though I guess.

Chris Hash’s WoW account was hacked… again.. most stuff in <Autonomous Collective>’s guildbank was gone.. I reported the incident to the GM’s and our stuff should be restored again soon I hope.  Go go $6.50 peace of mind, shipping included.  Anyone that doesn’t have an authenticator yet is, well.. just silly.  That’s a nice way of putting it.

I removed Hash’s two toons from the guild while the jerk on his account was online.  I can’t remember him having any other characters in the guild.  Threecard and Fourtune were the only ones, right?

If you aren’t gonna run noscript in Firefox (or the equivalent in IE) then at least keep your operating system up to date with patches and most importantly.. keep Adobe’s FLASH PLAYER UPDATED.  Java too if you have it installed.. especially if you insist on using friggin porn sites.  Shame on you for that.   You can become infected with keyloggers injected into your system by visiting sites with harmful flash embedded in them that exploit vulnerabilities in un-updated Flash players.

Use Spybot Seek and Destroy and Hijack This and a good Anti Virus.. even a free one, many of which are better than ones you pay for *cough* Norton *coughsucks*.. keep em updated and scan.

If you just can’t be bothered to keep your computer as safe as possible from predators (it’s not just your wow account, but if you bank online.. retirement plan online.. jeez you are just asking for it..  well get an authenticator at least for 6 bucks for WoW.  It alone won’t stop somebody determined from hacking you if your machine is vulnerable.. but it really is a big enough deterrent that most folks aren’t going to go to the lengths necessary (timing man in the middle attacks against you while you log in on your compromised machine) to save your account.

Quick and funny little Discovery channel-esque WoW machinima.  Made me chuckle, especially the moonkin trying to fly.

Going back to Zul’Gurub over and over pays off! I got the Swift Zulian Tiger today! That fight with Hight Priest Thekkal is annoying! I’m done with it now though with this SCORE! Not He-man now I’m She-man!  eeww.. that doesn’t sound right at all.

Still no raptor from Bloodlord, not sure that I’ll bother anymore as it was never my goal.  It was always the tiger that I wanted and the Razzashi Raptor was just something to go for while I was already there.

There’s a lot so it’s kinda hard to pick a top one.. it’s also kinda hard to say it wouldn’t be:
