BliNKSWORLD And the fallen shall rise in a river of blood

Louder motherfucker!!!

Haven’t really had time / been bothered to update, but I did get an iPhone 3G on the 11th of July - and it is GLORIOUS ! I wish it made that “aaahaaaaa” (angelic hum) sound every time I take it out of my pocket.

3G is actually pretty fast, faster than my works internet connection as it turns out. I downloaded the same 12mb mp3 (legally ofc) on my work machine, then again on my iPhone .. iPhone took about half the time

The WiFi / remote is really handy too, especially when I’m out in the garden reading me book, and I wanna rock out a little

Not really found a “killer” app yet, some stupid ones which are always fun (PhoneSaber, World 9, iPint, More Cowbell for example). Obviously Twitter and Facebook are cool - but nothing as yet made me want to splash out some £££ for an app. But its still early days yet, we’ll see how it goes.

I bought an Incase Protective Cover for it too, although it doesn’t come apart so you can dock it, I’ve had problems docking it to my original iPod dock (I just removed the adaptor for my Nano), although its not a sung fit it works well enough.

Another typical Monday morning, I get into work about 8.30am (gah!) stick the kettle on, grab a glass of water, turn my mac on, make the tea, login, sign into Adium & Google Notifier.

Then things get exciting, a couple of gmails (yay!) but one of them is from O2. I hurriedly open the mail:

iPhone 3G is here and its free*

The iPhone you’ve been waiting for. Order from 8am today

As promised we are writing to you to keep you updated on the next steps to getting an iPhone 3G. We do, however, expect demand for iPhone 3G to be very high so orders will be processed on a first come, first served basis so that we can be fair to all customers. Orders will be limited to one iPhone 3G per customer.

I’ve been trying to write this post for a while - then I read this post by El Jobso, and I quote:

Rule Number One in blogging is this: Don’t think — write. Ever read Scoble? That’s how it’s done, chum. You don’t think – you type this shit as fast as you can, whatever random thoughts come into your head.

So balls to it. I’ve had this crap running around in head for far too long. Now as you may or may not know, I play a level 70 feral druid called Anesthesia (yes its a chick - but thats only because I don’t want to stare at a dudes ass whilst I’m playing WoW (and yes i know I actually look at a cat’s / bear’s ass most of the time, but thats neither here or there!)).

My guild, Brutal-Deluxe, fucking rocks - we’re ranked 9th on our server and have just down Archimonde. I haven’t raided with them for what seems like for-fucking-ever. But thats because I just don’t have the time during the week.

Thankfully I have a secondary guild, who I can run 5 and 10 main instances with. So I thought it was time I sorted my shit and got a shopping list together. I’m going to cover DPS first, as it seems to be my main roll these days - and by far the easier to find upgrades for.

Head

• Grimgrin Faceguard

Shoulders

• Shoulderpads of the Silvermoon Retainer

Chest

• Tunic of the Dark Hour

Bracers

• Guardian’s Dragonhide Bracers

Gloves

• Handwraps of the Aggressor

Belt

• Belt of the Silent Path

Legs

• Trousers of the Scryers’ Retainer

Rings

• Angelista’s Revenge
• Signet of Primal Wrath

I originally created this list on the 29th May. Below is a list of the stuff I’ve already managed to get my paw’s on:

Neck

• Shattered Sun Pendant of Resolve

Shoulders

• Shoulderpads of Dancing Blades

Back

• Cloak of Fiends
  

Chest

• Shadowtooth Trollskin Cuirass

Chest

• Shadowtooth Trollskin Cuirass

Feet

• Nyn’jah’s Tabi Boots

Weapon

• Staff of the Forest Lord

I’ve mentioned two shoulder and chest slot items, because both items are upgrades to my current gear, but Shoulderpads of the Silvermoon Retainer and Tunic of the Dark Hour are the better of the two upgrades - despite looking absolutely wank!

I did a bit of playing around on chardev.org to try work out stats, gems and enchants. My idea gear setup would look something a bit like : http://www.chardev.org/?template=54093. Trying to balance hit / crit and ap is a pain in the ass, but hopefully it’ll all be worth it

BliNKSWORLD’s has been a bit dead recently (as in a year or so) - I was going to keep it that way, but something in the back of my brain kept popping out to tell me todo something with it.

So this is me poking BliNKSWORLD with a big stick and seeing if there’s any life left…
