Taken from another website. Even if you aren’t a World of Warcraft player it’s worth a watch. This happened a while ago but I finally found a full resolution version.

“A group of horde decides to hold an ingame memorial for one of their mages who died irl. They made a few mistakes: holding it in a contested zone, publicly posting that they were going to do it, and asking that noone would interfere. How could we resist?

Although outnumbered 2:1, Serenity Now does what they have to to remind people that this is, in fact, a PvP Server.

This video contains the events leading up to the memorial, the reactions to the fight, and the actual 53vs21 party crashing.

Bad taste? Lack of respect? No Human Decency? Sounds like someone should have rolled RP/PvE.

Stay tuned after the feature presentation for a sneak peak at the upcoming “Women Shouldn’t Vote” 5man movie.

This video has a large resolution (1024×768) so that the viewer can read the actual forum posts that started this event. I suggest that you run this video in full screen and up your resolution if needed.”

This is my second attempt making a World of Warcraft movie taken during a guild fight (The Demonic Reich) against Ragnaros who is the final boss in Molten Core.

A new purchase for the month and it’s the latest offering from Telstra, the HipTop 2. Overshadowed by the publicity of the Next G launch from Telstra, the HipTop has managed to sneak it’s way onto the bottom corner of select Telstra stores without any advertising at all. It was given a quite release by Telstra and confirmed by staff that due to the push for Next G, the HipTop wasn’t given much priority in advertising so the spotlight wouldn’t be stolen from Next G.

The HipTop is more well known as the “SideKick” brought by T-Mobile in the US and Europe and has been a huge success in both regions. Sharp manufactures the phone while the services are run by Danger and the phone companies provide the network connection for it, eg Telstra or T-Mobile.

Telstra only provides one plan which is $30 a month and that includes unlimited internet browsing, MSN Messenger, SMS, MMS and Email which is quite good value. Voice calls are extra so I still use my V3X on Three as it’s on a $29 cap.

Unfortunately the HipTop 2 is already out dated in the US as it’s already been replaced with the SideKick 3. Telstra brought out an older model and currently has no intention of bringing the HipTop 3 to Australian shores at the moment.

(picked this up on the OCAU forums)

HEY GUYS, I WROTE THIS AWESOME GUIDE ON HOW TO PICK UP!

Y’know, ’cause you’re all dorks and I’m so suave and wicked sick, I’m going to tell you things that you learnt when you were 4!
Don’t forget to shower, or your little man will fall off
Clothes are generally necessary for going outside
Clean your face and hair? yeah, that’s it. Sorry I forgot, I was too busy admiring myself in the mirror.

OK, so once you’re outside, what next? K LYK LOLZ, you can go down the street to the park, the supermarket, the picture theatre, a bar, a club, a pub, a par, a clar, a bub….

Once you’re inside this club (that is if you’ve been let in - the big hunky men at the doors have nerd-detecting powers), what you need to do is find yourself the hottest piece of ass in the room. Approach it. Start talking. Obviously if a little bit of confidence is good, then giant swaggering steps and thrusting and shouting out pickup lines like “what’s the difference between you and me? YOU HAVE CLOTHES LOL”* must be better, right? Right.

* This is my personal pickup line, and it might be a bit complex for you. Use with caution.

OK. If she’s looking at you (even if it’s just for a split second with a rather derisive look in her sexy doe eyes), take the chance. Since you locked eyes you’re definitely soulmates and you should do anything in your power to stop her from going away. Here’s a definitive list that you should follow (I wrote it, so it must be absolutely foolproof):
Throw her car keys at her. She’ll see the PORSCHE keyring that you got for your fourteenth birthday, and be entranced. Likewise she’ll see your fully sick Tarocash knit three-quarter-arm skirt shirt, and that’ll seal the deal.
Launch into a superficial explanation of your life and your greatest financial achievements. Since all women want is money and someone who has it, don’t stop for a second on any dorky hobbies you might have. These hobbies include computers, games, movies, music or anything that isn’t streetracing.
If she’s still straying away, throw your wallet at her. Once her neck recovers from the whiplash such a fat wad will give her (you had the foresight to fill it with newspaper, right?) she’ll know for sure that you’re a true playa.
By now she should be eating out of your hand, or possibly even your lap if you’re a super slick balla like me. Simply get up and walk away, and she will follow you, a complete slave until you want her to leave. Which you will, of course - ideally around 5am, from your room in your parents’ basement.
If all else fails, write her a cheque*. Tie it to a piece of string and trail it from your back pocket. Since every single female out there is a money-grubbing whore, you’ll get every single girl in the room chasing after you. Now just roll yo way out of there and run back to your parents’ house. This run will sort the wheat from the chaff - as anyone who can’t keep up with your fat lumbering man-nerd pace will surely be unsuitable for a night of sticky sweet Mountain Dew love.
* Does not need to be a real cheque. Just write $ $ $ several times on a coaster and show the room.

Hope this helps, nerdlingers. I have to go now, because my latest conquest is waiting for me on my bed made of lithe European female backpackers and South American contortionists.

Ciao, geek-beasts!

From your selfless mentor

Note: this guide was written to a soundtrack of Gold Digger by Kanye West - it’s what all the players listen to.

A question I get asked over and over again and each time I explain it all I get is this confused look from everyone so I’ve decided that I might as well try and set things straight. In the more technical terms of my job I am required to go to a retail store and complete a relay for the client according to the planogram given to me. Confused? Yes it makes no sense at all doesn’t it. In English this translates to, “I go to a store and move stuff around on the shelves to a diagram given to me.” Follow now? Now you’ll be thinking why do I move stuff around, all this does is annoy customers and staff so they can’t find anything. This is true, it does piss a lot of people off and I get paid to do that, I’m not complaining as I’m not the one buying stuff there or having to work there, I just go in and do my job and leave but why does this happen? Companies pay for the shelf space to retail stores (for example supermarkets) and they want to change the layout of their products, add new products and get rid of some and they hire a company (the one I work for) to change it all around.
That’s it, that’s my part time job summed up right there, my pay-rate is about on par to my old night-fill rate at Safeway and the hours are steady. I’ll only be doing this for a couple more months and than I’m off.

Yet again I’ve been slack with this blog, I do apologize and have backdated some posts and plan to keep this up to date from now on, I’ve got a fair bit of time now so I’m going to play around with the site, try some different things. Feel free to leave comments as well.

As much as I hate to say this I am actually happy that I have work, after all how can I afford to drive around with petrol/gas prices these days. As a part time job right now (I can’t seem to get away from the retail supermarkets) I do relays at various supermarkets around south east Melbourne. What this involves is getting a planogram and modify items on the shelves so basically all I am doing is going to some place, change everything around so customers can’t find what they are looking for and also workers struggle to find where all the items have been moved to. At $17 an hour for pretty basic work I’m not complaining, except for the driving which can take up to an hour but eh that’s life.

Yesterday saw Alex Nottle return from his 10 month stay in Europe where he was working and traveling around. I have to admit I am quite jealous as he tells me all his stories about his adventures and mischief up there. He had a party the day he arrived (not sure how we stayed up all night) and it was good to catch up with him but also see others from my year level that I haven’t kept up with. It’s been nearly five years since I left Haileybury and everyone seems to be settling into and deciding on their future. Trying to keep in touch with so many when everyone is spread around does make it hard but I guess that’s what happens to many of us after leaving school
