Latest Patch Notes....umm wow

So, after reading MMO Champ, I am pretty excited about the various changes that are being made.

First of all, this change is far into the future. But FACTION CHANGES?! That would be nuts! Lets say you have friends on another server that play another faction, you could just transfer over and change factions. That is incredible. What will they think of next?

The other changes that I am excited about are the engineering changes. First of all, I am excited about the small things. For example the cost of making ammo has gone down. I am very appreciative of that. But the cool stuff includes a schematic that drops and teaches you how to make a robot butler! Basically it will repair your stuff, sell stuff and also has a mailbox! It is something that can be re-used, so it is not like a scrap-E or repair bot, which I think is pretty neat. It has a cooldown, naturally.

There will also be the Steam Powered Auctioneer! It will be in Dalaran in the engineering shop. Basically a grand master engineer will be able to access the auction house from Dalaran by using the steam powered auctioneer. So no more running through portals to cities to get to an AH before raids. Yay! The only problem is being the auctioneer bitch and getting constantly nagged about buying stuff and checking AH prices. That will be annoying.

What is also cool is the new belt that will basically be a cobalt frag bomb dispenser. It never runs out of bombs, but there is a cooldown I believe.

The other addition to engineering is the ability to create a portable wormhole generator. Basically it will act as a portal to send you to various locations in Northend but will sometimes send you to dangerous places. That will be fun!

Oh, and I almost forgot about the mind amplification dish that allows you to control any humanoid target. It will allow you to treat the humanoid as a pet and attack other players. Of course it has a chance of failing and the humanoid you are targeting could end up controlling you!!

There are various other changes that I think are pretty awesome, but those are the ones I am most excited about. Engineering was sucking a lot and I was hoping some changes could make it better. I think these chages are a move in the right direction!

Zombieland

I love zombie movies, books, comic books, shows and anything else! So, of course I am super excited to see any new zombie movie, especially if it has a decent budget and looks awesome!!

Sure, it looks a little cheesy (and I have doubt that it will be as good as Shaun of the Dead), but it looks like it has potential. I will definitely see this when it hits theaters!

Drag me to Hell


I went to see Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell a few weeks ago. It was awesome! Being a fan of Evil Dead and a fan of horror movies in general, this movie was funny, gross and downright scary!



The story begins with Christine Brown, a nice loan officer looking to get a promotion. Her boss makes it clear that he wants the promotion to go to someone who knows how to make the tough decisions. Cut to the scary gypsy woman tapping her gross fingernails asking Christine to help her get an extension on her mortgage payments. Christine is given the choice to make the final call on the extension by her boss, who notes that it is a "tough decision". She decides to refrain from giving the extension, and of course havoc ensues when. Christine is attacked in the dark parking lot by the gypsy woman and then cursed. Eeek!

There was plenty of scary in this movie as well as just plain hilarious. Not to mention gross (flies up the nose, slimy dentures, rotting corpeses and so on) If anyone has the chance to see this flick and loves horror movies that are both scary and funny, go see this before it leaves theaters!

New Moon mania

So, I have a little obsession with the Twilight series and I am not 13 years old, so sue me! After watching fan made videos of the trailer of New Moon the past few months, I finally got to see the official trailer for New Moon that premiered at the Mtv movie awards. I even DVR-ed the show, which is pretty nuts considering I have not watched an Mtv awards show in years. I even had to scroll the tv channels to find the channel. But it was all worth it and Andy Samberg was hilarious too. I also got a kick out of the fact that Twilight won all those awards over Oscar winning movies, but I suppose movies like Twlight should enjoy their moment in the sun. But it is pretty obvious that Slumdog Millionaire and friends are better movies than Twilight, duh! But those movies did win Oscars, so I guess they are not feeling too bad that they did not win their golden popcorns.
Here is the trailer for New Moon!
