Well doctors diagnosed my dad with lung cancer today.

Oh gods, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

Rude language ahead!

Why the hell is WoW full of wankers who think it's cool to smoke weed? Seriously. All the fucking time in raids full of people I don't know, someone makes a comment of some kind about smoking weed. It's fucking moronic. It isn't cool, it just makes you seem like an absolute twat. And people wonder why I don't get on with most people in that game, urg.

In fact, no, it's not just that game, I just hate people.

I HATE MY SPECIES DSJKFSKDFSDKJFS

I loathe cross realm zoning. Yes, thank you for letting the Pvp flagged folk run around zones spitting and farting on us. I really wanted Derpington the DK to /slap that poor troll hunter as he slaughtered the rare she was taming, really.

Oh, and leveling low level professions blows harder than MegaMaid. Dismounting and/or disconnecting between zones is fun, too. Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

I was flying over Wintergrasp yesterday and didn't notice that the battle was going on, so I was suddenly found myself falling from a great height. Fortunately, I'm an engineer, so I popped my parachute cloak. Unfortunately, when I landed, I still had autorun on, so I launched myself over the cliff and fell to my death...in the middle of the horde town in Dragonblight.

So I ran back to my body, rezzed, and was instantly one-shot by the town guards.

So I ran back again, rezzed, ran two steps, and was one-shot by the town guards.

So I ran back again, rezzed, popped deterrence and the rocket belt, which got me out of town. Except that the rocket belt malfunctioned, covered me with burning rocket fuel, and killed me just outside the town gates.

Latency Latency Latency...ever since patch 5.0.4 high HIGH latency!!! Today it hit over 13K!!!!!! for BOTH home and world!!! I have bloody high speed extreme for a reason! and judging from the wow Forums, I ma not the only one with this issue! Its been how many bloody days and still NO blue post on how to fix it!
One blue post is dealing with people in small select area of the world, but that's no help to anyone else...
Hell, I just spend most of my evening running virus scans, repairs, and every other suggestion that I could find and still nothing! logged in to see if all my work paid off, only to see latency at 10K!!!

Normally for me they hover at 60-10ms ...so yeah, slight difference. Oh and one Blue poster had the audacity to tell someone it was their ISP's fault! Yeah, tons of people's ISP's all conked out at the same time, right after the last patch...fgdfgdgddfgdg#$#@$#FSDFGSE$%@#%$R$5!!!!!!

I've noticed that too. My entire guild complains about it. Some worse than others. It's definitely not an ISP problem.

And this lag! This patch has made me lag so much! Gah!

Try changing the Direct X setting in the system menu and then restarting the game. I think it's under the 'advanced' tab or something. It worked for me.

Late reply is late but that worked . Thanks a bunch :3

[Snowy]

Everyone with the latency problems, look at Cow's post right above this one. It worked wonders for me, but if it doesn't help, I have no idea. Sorry. :S

[Makoes]

Tried that, didn't work.

[Snowy]

Why do people on this forum ignore me sometimes? I don't say/do anything to annoy people on purpose, sometimes I'll ask a simple question and I get downright ignored. :/

[cowmuflage]

Woke up with a migraine today. I have just managed to have a shower but ugh might go back to bed. :S but I have to stay up I have to finsih my art for Overload it's on the 22nd!

I was whispering a friend of mine in-game tonight as I was hopping around on some toons to check their mail and auctions.

The discussion we were having took a sudden turn to something much more private and intimate, not meant for third party ears, when I discovered I had accidentally typed almost a paragraph's worth of information into Guild Chat! I didn't even realize it till one of my guildies interrupted me ... guess they didn't want to miss out on all the juicy tidbits by speaking up beforehand! I've never been so humiliated!

I was thinking of changing realms anyway. Now's as good a time as any to do just that!

[Azunara]

People are idiots and I'm feeling sad and lonely and sort of sick and I can't actually tell people because it's hypocritical to feel this way anyways. Fuck all.

Edit: Oh and if people would stop spamming the same shit over and over that'd be great too.

[Moore]

Sigh my weeks been not so good. I've entirely lost interest in everything it seems as though my only interest has been in books - but they're so heartbreaking and sad that I know I'll only feel worse if I continue reading them. I get the feeling that soon I will be alone I've basically told all my friends to just not bother me. I'm not sure if I like it that way but that is how it's turned out. My days have also begun blurring together so I'm never entirely sure what day it is, much less, have a reason to care.

I think the patch fried my sound card somehow. Graphics are also borked. I did a system recovery to reset everything to factory settings (twice) but it still tells me there's no audio output device installed. I can't adjust the volume or turn the speakers off (they're built in). It keeps randomly doing the error/confirmation beep, at 2-3 times the volume I keep Hal set to, when I try to update drivers or turn the useless crap Hal came with off.
I have almost punched my computer in the monitor because of that sound.
I wasn't having any issues like this before the patch. I can't even play at all now. I can still use Hal to draw and look up stuff online but that beep is annoying my family.

Having deep existential video games crises in the middle of the night and not sure how to feel about them.

Having deep existential video games crises in the middle of the night and not sure how to feel about them.

I have these all the time...hate them. Hope you sort out the video game section of your head soon.

My life is a mess, and has been for months. I am happy and sad both at the same time. No matter which way I turn, each solution is terrible. No matter what option I pick, I lose something I love in the process. And I can only blame myself.

Guild Wars 2...stop crashing when I enter zones, kthx.

[cowmuflage]

I wish people would follow the law and keep their dogs on a lead. I'm sick of having random dogs coming up to me when I'm walking and the people going "Oh don't get angry he's just saying hello". That's how people get mauled people! They have laws for a reason.

All so pick up your dogs damn shit. If you don't want to pick dog shit up don't have a bloody dog! It's that simple.

[Lotusii]

I keep getting shuffled around for more tests by doctors. I wish they would give me something definitive so I could at least start coming to terms with what's going on.
