TFG Preview for 2011 -
2010 (+1)

=P

Happy 2011 everyone. <3 TFG

My 2010 Fantasy Football season officially came to a close today, as my team was beaten in the first round of the playoffs. Although 116 to 65 looks more like half my team didn’t even bother to show up.

Overall it’s been a terrible football season for my team. We barely made it into the play offs at all.

Ah well, we will learn from our losses and come back next year a stronger, more able, and focused team. GO TEAM! That is if I get a good draft. If I get another crappy draft (like this year!) I’m blaming the Quarterback, or the defense.

It’s never the team owners fault. Never ever ever.

It’s here! World of Warcraft is remade! Time to get back on the wagon, which means this might be my last post…EVAR! (So I exaggerate a bit, but I am rather looking forward to this new expansion. New guild achievements, new raid instances, new dungeons, new quests, new gear! Squeeee!!)

So I upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and now my images dont show up.

No one seems to know exactly why. Fun.

Excuse the lack of images. Will get that fixed as soon as I can. (Edit: I should say, I am going to ask the lovely, smart people at Dreamhost to fix the problem. They are my Tech-Knights in Shining Armor. /swoon)

(Edit #2, the Wordpress upgrade renamed one of my folders, which is why the pictures aren’t working. Now I need to figure out how to fix it so I dont have to go and manually fix every single image.)

(Edit #3, work around fixed. Images back up. Thanks soooo much Dreamhost techies!)

Its about time for another little World of Warcraft update. And though I have been trying to keep WoW topics from overwhelming the site, I do still spend quite a lot of time playing it still and could go on and on. Thus I am consolidating all my latest news into one post.

Almost forgot to add that the Midsummer World Event began today which is the last world even that my warlock needs to complete the purple drake flying mount achievement.

Last month I had the brilliant (ridiculously overambitious?) idea that I would try and review a bunch of my DS games. For some reason I didn’t find magical extra time to cram through more then a few of the games and thus DS Review month is extended, indefinitely.

I say indefinitely because I am fairly sure that by the time I get through my bag of old DS games I will have acquired more.

Actually I am rather interested in getting through some more of them as I am hoping to finally get to some better games. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to get stuck with such crappy games.

Guess I’m just a sucker for good PR. /sigh

So I installed a new Plugin called, Broken Link Checker. I figured it would be a good idea, for surely none of my links were broken anyway, and it can’t hurt to check, right?

Since I have installed it, I have spent more time fixing broken links then I have playing video games. Go Figure.

It would of course be fabulous if the plugin was perfect, but its not. Any sort of connection interference and it will flag perfectly good links as broken, which means I have to monitor it very closely. At this rate I might just turn it off.

So if you see a link that is crossed out, it is my handy dandy link checker at work. Is the link broken? Who knows, but clearly I haven’t gotten around to fixing it.

Left: DSi XL - Right: DS lite

It might be a sign of getting older, but I am LOVING the larger screen. Brings to mind large print books. Can’t see? Lets just make it bigger!

Okay, so I exaggerate a bit, its really just a slightly enlarged DSi. =P

Actually the whole size thing had me a little worried. The portability of the previously sized DS’s was quite convenient. I needn’t have worried, the size increase is noticeable and does mean that you can’t carry it around in your pocket, but its plenty small enough to carry without looking like you are lugging your laptop around. =P

Funny, size wise, it seems like Nintendo’s hand helds have come full circle. GameBoys of old were pretty much the same size as this lovely DSi XL. Amazing all the stuff you can pack into that size now a days – two much larger screens, camera, SD card, and wireless internetz. Only thing its missing is a GameBoy cartridge slot. Guess I will have to save one of the old DS’s just in case. =D

After having finished all the holiday event Achievements with my hunter I swore never to do them again. But the super fast flying mount reward is just so incredibly spectacular that I had get one for my warlock. (I should just ban the word ‘never’ from my vocabulary!)

Which of course means suffering through all the holiday achievements. Thankfully the current one, Noble Garden, is not so bad. It took me only one evening of play. Plus I got to run around as a bunny for most of the evening. Whatever changes they made to this event (I know lots of the holiday achievements got an overhaul at one point or another) worked wonders, because I didn’t finish it seething with anger. Nice change of pace. =)

Its hard for me to believe that its already been over a month since my last WoW Rant. This whole moving my entire life from one house to the new one has taken up much more free time than I expected, but then most things take far longer than I expect. =P
That plus raiding four nights a week and my goal of reading one hundred books this year have left me bereft of almost all my spare time.

How do people do it??
