Oh No!

Well, it's my first stumble with my blog, I actually forgot to post anything almost all of this/last week. To those who might actually read this, Sorry!

Anyways, time for some updates hm?

1. New cable is in! I had a line ran for my computer from the router and a new cable line ran to another wall in my bedroom, 20 bucks for each run, the cables alone cost about that much, let alone if you had anyone else do it besides myself it would've cost a lot more.

2. No new tv yet, turns out I want to get new tires for my car first, I hate being so darned responsible... bleh.

3. Not sure what's going on with the girlfriend honestly, haven't heard from her for the past couple days even, guess I'll have to call her up and get her attention sometime this afternoon.

4. Our IT dept. now has a "work order" system for internal purposes, not in use yet but it looks like it will work out just fine, I just got done making the instructions for it.

5. Haven't played Xbox much lately, I actually went out and bought Age of Conan...and...it's good, suprisingly good.. Note: Slow down, read the text and savor the story because it's a good one.

Some of the coolest things about AoC though have to do with the fighting, everyone gets mortal kombat style fatalities (on chance), set someone aflame and watch them crumble to the ground screaming in pain, take a swing at someone's crotch and as they fall down bring your sword around in an arc, cutting off their head, swing left, taking out the left arm then right taking out the right arm and finally the head, crazy stuff like that.

Also, it actually matters WHERE you swing your sword, you have options for directions and even when doing a "special ability" some spells and abilities make you swing in certain directions, which can mean more damage if they're not actively guarding the side that you're swinging at.

Guarding: Everyone has three "defense points" or shields, default is that one is in front, one is to your left, one is to your right (can only swing left, right, forward so that's all you can block from). You can change these shields around (not suggested) and so can your enemy, sometimes you can fool an enemy into guarding one side heavily by focusing your attacks to that side of them before then switching sides to a completely unguarded side of their body, this works with combos too and can be VERY deadly. I haven't done PVP yet so I'm sure that's freaking crazy with people moving shields all the time, but in PVE, simply trick them into going 2 shields left, 1 shield up, and then lay into them with combos that make you attack their right side, boom, they're dead in no time.
