Tonic Water: Contains [chat]inine

Canada Dry makes tiny little glass bottles containing Tonic Water. They are twice as expensive as the little litre bottles. But they allow for fizzyness over a long period of time. So, talk about that.

Happy Bearth Day, Jolly!

April 22nd again. Another year gone by since the 6,000, or so, that have grudgingly passed since the delivery of water to water, the split of airy matter from earthy matter, the fair pronouncement of "Good" after a momentary assessment of a whole day's effort. And, gosh, do I ever agree with that assessment.

Sure, we've had our epochal deluges, sky-blotting volcanoes, genocidal tsunamis, incinerator-like wildfires, famine-inducing droughts, earthquake caused people-eating crevices, and lake bed CO2 pockets that rise to suffocate valley side villages, but here the Earth stands, still pulling its perfect sphere of a moon in perfect circles around our lovely--beautiful--blue planet. And, what more could we mortals ask for?

There's never going to be a day in my life when I won't at some point take the earth for granted, but, by gum, if there were to be a day, maybe some day, that I might not forget my place as a creature born from the dust of this earth, I think that day might also be the very day when I truly find that I have too often in my past spent too long assuming that my time to end is too far off to be of relevance to the current moment and that I, too far removed from the consequences of my actions on this here earth itself, have seen it, without sight, coming to the close of its period of hospitality to us all.

And, so, today I want to wish this earth a merry good one, and exhort my fellow co-inhabitants also to some merry earthward recognition.

Happy Earth Day Everyone.

Blue Bomber, Y'all

WoW 3.1: How to hate Demo / Destro Warlocks

So WoW patch 3.1 was released on tuesday and i've been seeking out new content. This evening I did the 10-person version of the new Vault boss, Emalon. I was in a pug with 6 guildies and 4 other people. I noticed that there was another warlock in the group but did not think much of it until I checked his spec and saw that he was using the new demo / destro hybrid build. It's a fine build, but for some reason he was not sending his felguard in to damage the boss. When I asked him why he said, "Because my felguard might die."

That, my friends, is the moment at which the gin kicked in.

I proceeded, in both /raid and tells, to yell at him, mock him, question his intelligence, suggest that he had an imappropriate relationship with his mother, and in-so-many-words belittle him to the point of tears. After about 2 minutes of this he dropped group, we recruited a rogue, we killed the boss, and I received a nifty new pvp belt.

So this is the lesson I learned: If you see a warlock being a FUCKHEAD you need to, at all costs, rage at the player to the point where they drop group and cry. Because then you get a belt.

But you may ask why one would want to be mean to demo / destro warlocks (other than to get a belt), why they would merit scorn and mockery. Here's your answer: WoW Patch 3.1 broke Affliction Spec.

Pre 3.1 Affliction warlocks had to rotate Haunt, UA, Immo, Corr, SL, and CoA; affliction warlocks had to maintain and rotate 6 damage over time spells. This was a fun thing to do. In 3.1 Affliction warlocks have only Haunt, UA, Corr, and CoA. We went from 6 spells to 4; this sucks. The spirit of the spec is gone.

So what does this have to do with the fuckhead?

Well, as I understand it, every fuckhead who you now see playing demo / destro hybrid was one of the junvenile motherfuckers on the Blizzard forums qqing that maintaining 6 spells was "qq too hard qq". It is their fault that affliction sucks now. So the only reasonable reaction to this is to be mean, very mean, incredibly mean to these shitheads. Because they broke our class.

And if we can get them to uninstall then Blizzard will fix affliction. And even if Blizzard does not fix affliction at least you've been mean to a stupid person. And that, truly, is a reward in itself.
