So.. 5 months passed since I last blogged.
Had my 20th birthday, nothing special, as usual.
Got an MP3 player from my mom, no one else gave gifts. Which isn't surprising cause I don't give gifts too.
WoW is getting boring, specifically Karazhan. All's fun when we're killing new bosses, downing them after numerous attempts. But now the first few bosses are pretty much on farm status, and newer players keep coming in and completely clueless. My drive to get better gear already diminishing. With small pathetic increments to my DPS, pretty much the only thing I strive to achieve in raids, I won't be needing any "upgrades" anytime soon.
New content is always fun. But being confined to raid 2 or 3 means I won't be seeing nightbane soon. The next content patch will bring out about many new things. A lot of changes I'm looking forward to, a few that I'm not... but it's all good. Change is good. Somehow.
15th June is my enlistment date. My WoW life would end around that time. I hope I can live through what's in store for me in tekong. Can't say I'm excited to go in, but apparently, it'll shape me into someone better. I'll miss my computer.
At the moment, I'm really out of shape. I become out of breath really quickly, I'm not as agile as before and I'm gaining weight. Like fatty weight. Hair's still growing, no style whatsoever. It's gone when I go army anyway... so why bother.
Anger Management....
Anyways, I read this news article on the new paper. It was about teenagers beating up other innocent teenagers, filming it with their video camera phones, then posting it up and boasting about it.
First of all, I see no reason why someone would do something so malicious. Has the world degenerate back to wild & uncivilised beginnings? Hell, even animals don't have unprovoked attacks on one another. Is beating up another person showing how "manly" and "tough" you are? I know there are some fucking pain in the ass assholes out there... hmm, actually a good beating might really shut them up for good. However, unprovoked attacks are just rediculous.
Which brings me to another point, does being better at someone at something gives you the right to put them down, call them names, laugh and gloat at them? A sick thrend I noticed from playing DotA ( which I only play when my friends invite me to) is people, especially those on the winning side, calling the other side noobs.
It's like, no matter how fucking stupid they sound, however baseless their comments are, as long you're losing to them, u R teh SUK! This is what happens when you let 13 year olds near the computer. They get all testorone on your ass and bask in that few minutes of "glory". It's really shameful when you take pride is beating someone's ass in game and boasting about it. In fact, it's really shameful you boast about beating someone up. Healthy competition is fine, thrash talking sometimes is fun. Being a fucking dick, not so much fun.
As for me, personally... I hate losing. I love team games and stuff, but the more the players, the more I let down when I fail to perform. I don't let myself off easily if I fail to perform and I also don't let others off easily. It's easy to blame one million other factors. It's easy to say work harder next time. It's easy to say bad matchup. But I also want to know that you or I have exhuasted all possibilites before blaming on other things. Sometimes... ok, most of the time I say some really harsh things to people. Everyone has their own anger limitation... mine limit is pretty low.
"you shouldn't take out your anger on other people" that's somewhat true, but as I said before... someone has to take the blame, someone screwed up, someone didn't perform. If no one did any of that, then we were simply outplayed. Which I hate, but it's acceptable. And being outplayed shouldn't be an excuse people use all the time to make up for their shortcomings. FFS, take some hit, stop blaming everyone else.
Note: the above sometimes applies to me, however... in my blind rage, I usually fail to see that.
With that said, I don't really enjoy pvp. I'm too slow on reaction, I adapt poorly. The only way I get better at things is constantly/repeatedly doing the same thing. Which spells PvE. And Damn... I'm good
