I’d just like to know why Blizzard?

Dec 13

I am a long time WoW player, I have taken breaks for a while, but I come back and play still, since vanilla. I’d really like to know why they feel like they have to take abilities away from us? I main a hunter, and they removed my two favorite abilities: Murder of Crows, and Stampede. These are pretty important to a hunter, they do some damage when you need it, and stampede had a long cool down so as to not be OP. But I log back in today and my main is missing those two abilites. Why? Why Blizzard? The last time I quit Wow for an extended period of time was because you removed thirteen (13) of my hunter abilities! Yes, you read that right. I mean, I know you are a bunch of incompetant script kiddies posing as developers, but it should be obvious that taking something away from your player base is bad! This is why I play Star Wars: The Old Republic a lot more than WoW.

UPS Has Already Lost

Dec 09

Warning: Rant mode on – I hate UPS. Whether it is the boxes that get destroyed during shipping because no one at UPS cares anymore, packages being left out in the rain with no bag, or they are changing shipping dates for no reason other then their own convenience. If I order something and need it when they originally say it will be delivered, I don’t need UPS changing their minds and making a later delivery. It’s probably because I live out of the town and they don’t want to make a special trip. Then we have Amazon where the big selling point of Prime was the free 2-day shipping, and now after Covid is over, you are damn lucky if you can order something and get it in a week! I know, I know, this is just me venting, but if you read this I appreciate it. Leave your UPS or Amazon stories in the comments below! Rant mode off now.

Hey Kids, Update Windows Now!

Aug 17

A string of vulnerabilities have been found in Windows 10 as of 08-2019 that sounds really, really bad, make sure you get patched up ASAP!!!

Check it out, this is from the MS Gods themselves …

“This vulnerability is pre-authentication and requires no user interaction,” reads Microsoft’s description of the four vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-1181, CVE-2019-1182, CVE-2019-1222, and CVE-2019-122). “An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the target system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.”

All I can say is OUCH!!!

Dragon Age: Origins – Console Cheats

May 25

One of my favorite games of all time is the Dragon Age series, specifically Dragon Age: Origins. Lately I’ve been playing through it again in different ways and decided to see if there were any good cheats out there that might make things interesting. I’ve put together a list of what I found for you, and how to setup the console so you can use them.

OK, first we need to enable the dev console so that you can enter the codes. If you are playing on Steam simply right click the game title in your Games List. Choose Properties, then Set Launch Options. Then enter -enabledeveloperconsole in the box provided.

If you have the game installed standalone, make a shortcut on your desktop to the file “daorigins.exe”, usually (Dragon Age/bin_ship/daorigins.exe). Then right click the shortcut and choose properties, and under Target add -enabledeveloperconsole (after daorigins.exe) so the end of the line looks like “daorigins.exe -enabledeveloperconsole” (without the quotes! 8])

Now, we have to bind a key to use to actually open the console. So, find the file “keybindings.ini”, usually located in “My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\” and find the line “OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_GRAVE”. The “Button_GRAVE” is the part we need to change, make the GRAVE part whatever key you want to use (preferrably one that’s not already in use). For example, I chose L, so mine looks like this: “Button_L”, or to be more complete, the entire line is “OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_L”. Now save the file, and start the game as usual from Steam or with the shortcut you created on your desktop.

Once you are in the game, you press the key that you chose and then type the whatever codes you want to use: (Note: you may not actually see the console or what you are typing, but this is normal), and then hit enter once the code is typed in.

Terminology

May 18

Anyone that comes to this site will know and see that I dislike “Sovereign Citizens”, those people who think that they are entitled to all of the perks and benefits of being a citizen but without having to follow any of the laws or rules. Anyone with at least one functioning brain cell will realize that this is an insane stance or argument. Mainly though, I’d like to address something that I have seen, and that is the use of the term “Sovtard”, which I guess is supposed to associate “Sovereign Citizens” with those who are mentally challenged. I’d like to make it known that making such an association is offensive to those who do happen to be mentally challenged in some way. After all, “Sovereign Citizens” make the choice to be morons and imbeciles. Not that mentally challenged people are, I’m not saying that. However, “Sovereign Citizens” are morons and imbeciles.

And the world keeps making better idiots …

Apr 10

The lady in this video is one of the stupidest, most idiotic and moronic people I have ever seen. Pulled over for not using a turn signal, she could have just handed over her ID and been done in just a few minutes. However, she decides to yell, scream, go crazy and call friends to get lawcabulary to spew at the officers and her boyfriend. This girl, because she sure as hell ain’t a woman, is a nutjob and has absolutely no clue how life works. Basically, something doesn’t go her way, so she gets mad. Pick another chick Randy! I mean seriously, there is something very wrong with this person. The video is pretty entertaining.
