This is a blog about my son’s pimp status in the game Portal. There have been rumors about a cake room in the game Portal, well it is a rumor no more, this is my son making it to the cake room!!
For anyone who has never bothered to see the South Park episode where our four heroes take it upon themselves to kill off a player who is killing everyone, this is a must! If you have wanted to see it and always forget, or always seem to miss it, well you gotta’ check it out. I mean stop what you are doing and watch! It is one of the most hilarious episodes ever, and for any World of Warcraft fan a great way to spend 30 minutes of your life! Anyone playing any MMORPG will certainly be able to enjoy the content of this episode. Let’s hope Trey Parker and crew shoot out a follow up!
Watch it Here! http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/103797/
Final Fantasy XI fans will be happy to hear the recent news that the rumors are true and FFXIV will be coming soon. Word on MMORPG.com is that the beta could be open by this fall, that’s right fall 2009, and the game out and in stores sometime in 2010. It looks like some great new content and PlayOnline will be gone! I for one am thankful to get news the PlayOnline system will not be a part of FFXIV. That system alone was enough to turn someone off the game.
One of the sad tidbits is FFXI players will not be able to Port over their characters from FFXI to FFXIV. So for all those people with years of hard work in FFXI, your character and all its work and gil will not be moving with you when the game is released. Don’t panic though, we’ll stay on top of things and have gil ready for everyone as they jump into the new adventures of FFXIV! I hope they add a feature for jumping, that was one aspect of the FFXI that always killed me, no ability to jump. It just seems like a traditional move, I mean everything from Pit-fall to EverQuest characters jump! I guess to be fair there was no ability to jump in Pac-Man.

I came across a photo about a year ago on the coasttocoastam.com website of a “fire demon”. It looks like a great horned entity rising out of tree casting his hand of doom out to the world.
At the time I thought it would be a great desktop background and later it reminded me of the fire elementals in World of Warcraft. The boss Ragnaros also comes to mind, though I think this all natural fire demon is much cooler than anything I’ve seen in any game. Maybe because it’s real, though it may not be a fire demon, rather just a cool shot that came out looking like some kind of fiery demonic force. Demon or not, I thought it was worth publishing and sharing with all.
Some of you may remember when the original Red Faction came out in 2001, and others may not. Red Faction was one of the first games to allow players relatively limitless level-altering possibilities using the GeoMod gaming engine. The game takes place on Mars around the year 2078. Earth’s minerals are being depleted and humans need more of them to survive. The vast Ultor Corporation runs the mining operation on Mars. The living conditions are deplorable, human rights for the miners are few and a disease called “The Plague” is running rampant throughout the colony with no known antidote available - predominantly within the confines of the mine complex. Parker, a downtrodden miner, came to Mars to make a new start in his life - taken in by the promises and advantages Ultor has to offer in the mines of Mars. After a routine day in the mine with the typical aggression toward miners and cramped living conditions and poor nutrition, he witnesses the spark that starts a rebellion when a security guard abuses a miner at the end of his shift and heartlessly kills him.[3] Parker takes up arms with the help of Hendrix, a rebellious Ultor security technician who guides Parker through the complex. Hendrix tries to get Parker to join up with a group of miners who are about to steal a supply shuttle and escape the complex. Parker arrives too late. The shuttle takes off but is destroyed by missiles. Thus beginning Parker’s battle against the Ultor resistance which ultimately ends in victory.
There is quite a bit different with this third entry. Guerrilla isn’t a first-person shooter; it’s a third-person action game that plays out entirely on Mars’ surface. Taking place years after the events of the first game, Guerrilla is again set on Mars, this time under the control of the violently oppressive Earth Defense Force, or EDF. You play as Alec Mason, a newcomer to the planet who was just looking for work, but soon finds himself wrapped up with the Red Faction resistance movement to wrestle control of the surface away from the EDF. To do so, Mason must liberate six zones on Mars, each with their own set of side and story missions.
There’s no lack of destructive freedom in Guerrilla, as structures and objects can be toppled and demolished not only by using explosive weaponry or your hammer, but with any of the vehicles you can pick up around the game world. Since there are so many ways to cripple a building, be it detonating mines set along its base, whacking apart supports with your sledge, or speeding an EDF armored transport right through the center, the game makes it easy to participate in its most entertaining aspect. It also rewards you for blowing things up, as bits of salvage will tumble from what’s demolished, which contributes to making your actions feel more satisfying.
Even if you haven’t played the previous two games be sure to check this one out!

Oh how World of Warcraft has changed. I have been playing WoW since day one of it’s release and I remember the good ole’ days. Back when it took two months to hit level 40, MC was the only raid out there, the Grand Marshel grind was the top PvP title (I still consider that better than Glad), where only 2-3 guilds could down Nef, you could get full tier 1-2 and own everyone in pvp, standing outside IF for hours on end dueling never got old, and Alterac Valley was an all day event. Well, maybe not that last one… But you get the point.
And now today, Blizzard released the new mount changes to help n00bs and alts level up faster: Apprentice Riding skill at lvl 20 for only 4g, Journeyman riding at lvl 40 for only 50g. Granted it is for the good of the game, and allows newer players to catch up with everyone else. But I remember grinding for hours to save up for my epic ground mount and what a reward it was to hit lvl 60 and buy one. I think Blizzard should have “rollback” servers, where the top level is 60, and you can’t go higer. With the old school unbalanced talent trees (I can’t even remember what they looked like, or the end talents) and all the level 60 raids, just for some nostalgia.

In a recent update to SWG, they added a drink that gives a bonus to milking creatures. If you have played the game in the past, and have tried to get milk, you know its a real PAIN!!! Well now with this new drink, Starshine Surprise, the bonus added to milking is phenomenal. I pulled two missions for some milkable creatures, and just kept going back and forth. Within the first hour of milking, I got more milk than I have ever harvested in five years of playing. I can’t say enough about how much this helps. You need milk to make some foods and drinks and to make additives for foods and drinks. My production has hit an all time high, and my PvP has taken a back seat to crafting. I know, I know, but I gotta’ do it. I love every aspect of SWG, and its just getting better. Until next time…

In their May 6th article, Wi-Fi to Go, No Internet Needed, The New York Times reports that Verizon will unveil the Novatel MiFi 2200 sometime this month. Think of the MiFi 2200 as a miniature wireless router without the hassle of power cords or a hard line connection to a conventional modem. Simply charge up the battery (just like your cellphone), hit the power button and away you go. As long as the MiFi is with you, you are your own Wi-Fi hotspot. Roughly the size of a deck of cards, the MiFi will keep your Internet dependent iPod and gaming systems connected anywhere you travel. Think of the possibilities!
Approximately 24 hours after content patch 3.1 was launched Yogg-Saron was slain for the first time by the European guild Ensidia (formerly SK Gaming & Nihilium). Six hours later the first US kill was completed by vodka of Alterac Mountains. The race is on now to defeat Yogg-Saron on hard mode and be the first in the world to clench a kill of Algalon the Observer. Stay tuned for more updates.
EXPRESS DELIVERY means when you place an order you give us your login info and if you aren’t able to log in and pick up your gold when it’s ready we will log into your account and pick it up for you. Now I know some of you are like WTF, NO WAY, I’m not giving anyone my login info, and that’s understandable. From what I’ve seen though it’s really the best and fastest way to get gold delivered to your toons.
We do tons of EXPRESS DELIVERIES a day with no problems and our normal delivery times are 30 minutes to 48 hours but with EXPRESS DELIVERY I’ve seen them filled within five minutes. We usually get them filled within the first eight hours or less it seems. And if anyone has any doubts about giving us the login info for your account keep in mind that we do powerleveling for tons of people too. That’s just another area where we have the info and log into a customer’s account with no problems.
I know some of you have authenticators and obviously we can’t do EXPRESS DELIVERIES on those. Just keep in mind for those of you that don’t have authenticators that if you really want your gold as fast as possible EXPRESS DELIVERY is the way to go.
Thanks,
Mark
