59. Re: Enclosure Jan 18, 2005, 19:20 Bronco
 
Some interesting theories:

Complicity:

Or maybe a 'sample' from WarPig that only Bronco's years of waste disposal experience can properly identify and diagnose?

One of the guys at work always says he could dispose of a body and it would NEVER be found. I never say this of course.

Yo Bronco, if you get time, post some pics on the blog!

I don't have a digital with me tonight but if I remember I will bring one home tomorrow and do just that. Warpig's packing is something to admire.

Banddirector:

What did you send him? I wanna see if you made good choices

9 bottles - Black Butte Porter - Deschutes Brewery
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/rate_results/63/198/
I know you like Porters and this is one of my favorites (although I
have to admit that I haven't tried a lot of different Porters).

6 bottles - Drop Top Amber - Widmer Brothers Brewery
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/rate_results/8/8917/
The beeradvocate rating is surprisingly low on this one, to me anyway
(not that it matters). I know for a fact that it won "best of" in it's
class at some beer awards hoohaw (
http://www.beertown.org/events/gabf/04winners.htm ). Mostly I included this because I really like it myself. Amber Ales are probably my favorites.

6 bottles - Moose Drool - Big Sky Brewing Company
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/rate_results/751/2296/
Not only do I like this one quite a bit, I just thought I'd include it
in case you collected beer bottles at all. It just seems to me a Man Room just isn't a Man Room without a bottle of Moose Drool on the
shelf. :o)

3 bottles - Mirror Pond Pale Ale - Deschutes Brewery
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/rate_results/63/195/
The reason I replaced three of these with three of the Black Butte
Porter was because I had never tried the stuff myself - I bought it on
a recommendation from a friend. Now that I have tried it I'm thinking
you're going to wish I include more. I like it quite a bit.
As I said, the packing was great, not a broken or chipped bottle in the bunch. I have saved the packing so I can return the favor.

I will be waiting a little bit to do this however as all of the bottles on the outside of the box froze roughly 60%. Not sure what this will do to the beer but I intend to find out tonight!

Thanks for the beer and the hat. This wager only reinforces my issues with gambling - especially against my own team! I can't help but feel guilty knowing that my win is partially attributed to Owens injury and this of course is hurting the Eagles chances over the next two weeks.

Of course Owens is stating that he is going to play next week. I can't imagine how.

I can't be the only one who thinks that is Fred?

I didn't until he started showing an interest in nin.

Fred always had a special something for nin.

Or maybe he made all of that stupid shit up and he's just trolling and you guys are all making it worse. "I smelled penis on his breath?" WTF?

When I read that line I found myself raising a lot of questions I don't really wan't the answer too.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Whee, look at all those replies. I am a bit surprised at what people think of saying.

So now that we know you are alive....

Have you decided to never reply to email? You told me I would hear from you after HL2....

Of course, Garona is one of the few non-PvP servers that hasn't been taken down. So that may be why you're not seeing them -- Garona is either running on beefier hardware or has a lower populace than the other servers. I won't presume to know which.

While these numbers are not exact, take a look here:

http://www.wowcensus.com

This site can take a while to load.

Note that their data for players includes alts - only Blizzard knows how many actual people play on a server....

Hey, sorry to hear you so down. Anything we can do to help?

I'm getting there slowly. Everyone has been very nice and supportive.

I told my wife last night that we may have guests for the Superbowl....that got a laugh. It would be great to get a dozen of us together for the day...

Of course, at my skill level, I pretty much serve as a cheap frag generator for the other guys anyways.

If you and I stand back to back we can last maybe 30 seconds between frags....

When is this gonna happen?

47. Re: Issues Jan 13, 2005, 12:50 Bronco
 
Ray and I are both halfway through 54. We have played almost everyday. We are troopers and have played through our problems, which is all you can do in MMO's. The days we haven't played is usually because our server crashed and we decided not to bother to log back in, or Ray was crashing every 15min so it wasn't worth the effort. I think Ray has re-installed WoW 3 or 4 times now to try and fix his problems.

The fact that both of you are lvl 53 is a testament to your dedication to the game. I have roughly 4.5 days played on my main character and he sits at 35.

I spend a good deal of time each day helping out guild members and at least 30 minutes of each play session in the Auction House. I currently see lag of 2-10 seconds after 8:00PM EST till 9:30 EST. I also see it on the rare mornings that I get on before work. Apparently the rumor is that some server service is running at that time as the morning lag starts and stops at exactly the same time each morning.

Obviously some servers are having more difficulty than others. I would also say that these are the maxed out servers. As you and Ray have only played on a maxed server you have no way to compare to the experiences those of us on a medium server are having.

I truly hope you consider switching servers when the opportunity arises. One last question, are you on a PvP or PvE server? I think they are going to limit the change to server type...

One more edit - both Halsy and Sixis hit 60 yesterday so you'd have other people to play with

No MMORPG I played had this lag, and the wow beta didnt have this lag either

The lag showed up at the exact same time as item durability.

Coincidence?

Just remember that there's always someone who's worse off than you...like me for instance. 2 degrees, 2 previously successful businesses, 1 sucessful outside career and the best I can swing right now for a career is slinging pints and stuff for people.

I've never had to go through this. I can't imagine....

Having a positive attiude really is mental though. If I gave you a check for 10 million bucks right now, you'd be feeling pretty damn good, wouldn't you? And apart from allieviating some money woes, what would really change? I mean, don't evne think long term, but think of the absolute immediate, you would go from depressed to happy instantly. Even before you deposited the check you'd be smiling and laughing. So if that's the case, why can't you turn on the good vibes yourself? You can! It's really a matter of perspective. As the old Taoist adage says, 'If I worry, will that change the future?' You need to plan, yes, but worry changes nothing except to wear you out.

This might sound crazy but I've never worried about money. There have been times in my life where I've been close to flat out broke to times like now. Ultimately time is what is valuable to me and I don't see myself somehow creating more of it for me.

Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you think it will. Patience only gets you so far down the road. Making an escape even if for 2 hours doesn't remove the thoughts that sit in the back of your head.

I'm beyond looking for it to get better. I'm looking for it to get bearable.

37. Re: Bah Jan 13, 2005, 10:06 Bronco
 
Ray and I duo every day, everything he has listed is true. Just because you have been one of the fortunate few to not have many problems doesnt mean they don't exist.

I'm wondering what level the two of you are considering all the troubles you've had. I know that the technical problems exist but I would argue that a larger portion of the players are not having technical problems than those that do.

The game has had issues for me but nothing to keep me from leveling 3 characters to 35, 21, and 17.

You can only look at the book and cinematic DVD so many times, and honestly, not many care about dragging a tiny pet around that does nothing but use up a precious inventory slot.

I don't think anyone would argue this - esp. the pet, I see maybe one a week at this point.

Then check the rest of the forums. Even though the underlying game is a ton of fun, alot of it is broken and people are getting pissed off.

I think specific classes (Warrior) are having problems right now compared to what a warrior was at the end of the beta. We have 3 warriors in our guild and two of them seem to be happy with the class. I played a warrior in beta and stayed away after seeing what they changed right before release.

I'm guessing there will be a patch today with the extended maintenance happening today.

I hope both you and Ray consider joining us when they allow the one time transfer...

28. Re: Azure Brigade Jan 13, 2005, 08:53 Bronco
 
so who's in the guild from Blues? Just curious.

Myself, Halsy, Sixis, The Mayor, JH Mirage and his wife, off the top of my head.

It's turning out to be a nice group - Halsy and Six are lvl 60 now and are kindly turning out great bags for everyone. We've picked up several new people in game that have fit in very well.

I would encourage anyone not involved or happy with a guild to make the jump to our server when Blizzard provides that option. It's coming, an official statement on this is supposed to be made shortly.

50. Re: a year ago today Jan 12, 2005, 20:00 Bronco
 
First off, thanks to all of you for the smiles. First time in a few days I've done that.

WarPig:

Hey yeah, we could organize a work party to finish up Bronco's Man Room. Sure, we would all end up drinking beer and playing video games instead of working, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I'd be more than happy to get the help, especially if it meant drinking and playing games.

Enahs:

Seriously, keep your chin up (or you will catch a vicious knee to your chin).

I'm trying. I'm just having a tough time swallowing what life is serving me right now.

I'll work on his MAME cabinet! I'll probably f#$* it up, but I'll help!

No need to work on it - it's operational at this point. Ugly as hell and clunky - but operational.

As for a Superbowl party - I'd be happy to host as many people that would be willing to put up with my 3 kids. This might sound easier than it is in reality so fair warning to any interested....

It's a mess right now.

I have most of my links together but....

Work has been crap and I've been running through a bout of depression for what seems like a month now. If Once I work my way out of it I'll get around to posting it.
