Warcraft!

I know I talk about this game alot in real life, and im sure I have mentioned a few times on this blog but I love World of Warcraft. Infact I love every game I'v ever played by blizzard. The first game I remember playing from blizzard (atleast that I knew was from blizzard, blackthorne and lost vikings were played before this but i didnt know they were blizzard titles) was Warcraft 2. I use to play that game from when i got home from school until it was time for me to goto bed. I would make maps to play, play through the campaign. Even edit the stats of my enemies to try and make a more challenging game. When i heard about starcraft. (warcraft in space as i and many other people called it) it just increased my love for RTS and blizzard in general i pretty much stopped playing warcraft2 and turned my attention to starcraft. I wasn't the best player out there, but I feel i was the best amoung my friends. After I felt i beat all the game could through at me i started to increase the number of enemy forces i would fight until it was me against 7 computers and still winning. Now I haven't been hardcore into starcraft for awhile now and when i tried to play it last fall i could only compete against 2-3 computers without losing. I still look back to the game as the game that made me just LOVE RTS'. When blizzard announced Starcraft2 i was, like many others, saying "Finally". With starcraft:ghost canceled (pout) been announced a year or so before i needed to believe that the company wouldn't let the francise die. And im glad they didn't

Anyways I'm off topic now. What this post was suppose to be about is me and maybe some friend(s) helping me make a new machinima world of warcraft movie. Most of the design of the first new episode? is complete I just need to work out some kinks in the script and some format,character design, and a few other things down. It is going to be another music video. But this time with original lyrics not me just taking clips from the game to put to a song i like. I have put in atleast 10-20 hours so far on this and im sure it wont be done for a month or more but I expect a much better product then my first video (which was made almost 3 years ago i believe). You can still find it on youtube, look fur zulma pumpkin head.

Anyways thats all that I have to talk about but I did add a new feature to the blog and im curious if it works. So here is the new weapon i just for my druid in Drak'thul.

Loan

So my student loan didn't give me enough money for my classes. I can't say I was surprised but I was wishing that I wouldn't have to work. I am almost out money so now im looking for work, i got ym resume dropped off at a local car wash, iv applied at the local video stores for work and a near by pet shop. I am now expanding my radius and looking at the mall (ok im not expanding it far :P). I saw that chapters is hiring but i hate having to apply online it seems so impersonal. I've been checking the job sites every day when i get home in hopes of finding a weekend job that will help me pay my bills. heres hoping i find one soon.

It's been awhile...

But not as long as some.

So what have I been up too? Well since my last update I have gone home atleast twice to spend time with my family which I love. I have got to see my neice on many occasions and it keeps surprising me how much she has grown and every time I talk to her she called me Uncle Aiden. Which I love. I left my job at the grocery store I was working at in the middle of Febuary. Before I did that though I had applied at Compucollege in my home town. I got accepted and am now taking a Human Resources course with payroll. I am enjoying the classes so far. I found out my WPM is 86. However if I push myself i got 122 on one of Mavis' gaming programs, i started to laugh and printed out the picture :P

That's it for today, expect more updates often.
