Revival of the Blog

That's right all you imaginary people who read my blog, I am back!
Please, restrain your excitement.
Even though I know that chances are no one will read this, I figure its good for me to write things, to ventilate my mind in a way, so that if what I plan on doing.

Interesting thing happened recently due to a funny little bug caused by World of Warcraft and Steam interacting. Steam attempted to launch the WoW launcher and apparently failed to properly do so, and thus kept trying. Again and Again. Apparently every time it tried and failed to open the launcher, it would make 'some' (most likely more than one judging by how many there were) temporary folders. This number quickly jumped up to several tens of thousands of folders, which gobbled up a great deal of space on my harddrive. I had no idea this happened until later, when my regular virus scan took several extra hours. Now I am currently attemping to remove all these folders, about a thousand at a time. Two words to describe this little incident; fun shit.

Now let us move on to something a little more joyful, video games! As all of you out there, which would be noone, know, I love video games, and the playing thereof. So, what have I been playing recently? Well, obviously I have gotten back into the highly addictive World of Warcraft. I have been playing Wrath of the Lich King and have by now gotten my Warrior main to 80, and have tanked a few 10-man raids. I enjoy the changes that Blizzard has made to protection warriors, as I am now able to tank more than 2 mobs efficiently. However I, like most people out there, have noticed how easy the raids are. Well, I supposed I will just have to move on to 25-man raids and hope they are a little more challanging. Ulduar is also coming soon, and promises to present more of a challange.

Enough about WoW, what else have I been playing? Penny Arcade Adventures, On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness. Wow, that is a....finger full? fist full perhaps, who knows. I just recently bought and beat the second part of this amazing game from the creators of one of the internet's best webcomics. Highly reccommended to all who like rpgs or humour.

I also recieved Persona 4 for christmas. I gotta say, this is a great game. Amazing gameplay with a intriguing, mysterious story. I am fully enjoy this game and really need to pry myself away from WoW and play more of it.

I am also (see, I really am a game geek!) waiting for Fallout 3 to go on sale on steam, and I know its coming, you hear my Valve? This game looks really interesting and unique in its gameplay and I have heard good things about it.

Lastly, during a Steam-wide sale, I finally broke down and bought Left 4 Dead, an amazing team-based zombie fps. A game that is truly at its best when played with friends. Unfortinatly I have only gotten to play it with my friends twice, as they have been busy playing Dawn of War 2, a game which i cannot play with them due to some odd Games for Windows Live related errors.

Anywho, I am finally done deleting those terrible temp files. I went from about 160GB of free room to 399GB, so yeaaaa, that is a nasty bug.

Well, I have rambled on enough for one day, perhaps tomorow I shall tlak about music.
