Windows 7, Rawr?

by: UriahPosted on:

I’m writing this post from my Laptop which has been running Windows 7 (RC) for over a week now. As far as looks, this is Vista which an update; Same general concept on most things.  I have not found anything so far that I did not like with this OS.  Since this is the RC I expected a few bugs however the only thing I’ve noticed is a problem with Sleep/Hibernate functions. I usually don’t shut my laptop down, I like to hibernate it.  So this is a bit of annoyance, about 30% of the time the system will just […]

Mountain Dew Gamefuel Winner!

by: UriahPosted on:

I won my first prize from the MountainDewGamefuel.com sweepstakes. A Moutain Dew Game Fuel Messenger Bag should show up in the mail in 4-6 weeks!  For those of you earning and bidding with the tokens, I’d recommend going for the lower-sought items like this bag unless you really want something like the mouse.  You have a much higher chance of winning a bag or shirt if you bid 1500+ points on one, especially with the bids reaching about 5,000 on such items.

King of Dire Maul

by: UriahPosted on:

Been working a lot on achievements this last month.  The last week though, I spent roughly 30+ hours in Dire Maul which was over 120 instance resets. You might wonder how many sane people would farm Dire Maul at level 80 for almost a week.  The answer: REP!! In order to get the Title Reward: The Exalted, you need to have [40 Exalted Reputations].  You can see below that I’m now only 1 away from my goal of 40. But back to Dire Maul, unknown to some — it can be used to gain reputation with the Steamwheedle Cartel (Four […]
