Anime 101
by ryan on Jul.14, 2010, under Personal, Play, entertainment
I certainly wouldn’t be the first, nor the best to write this post, but I think I’ve got a solid basis to, so I’ll tackle it. Keep in mind I’m not saying there’s a set order you should explore anime, or that some are more difficult to follow than others, just trying to make the ride, initially, as free from jarring changes as possible.
BINGO!

One thing I’ll be doing at Blizzcon…playing BINGO. No! Really…
Whatever happens, make sure you print out your bingo card before you go, and then throughout the weekend, cross off everything that you see on there. If, by the end of the weekend, you’ve nabbed five across, you win!
I’m printing my Bingo card right now…

A test of patience

The long wait was due to a certain orc hunter who would kill The Kurken occasionally while another hunter was taming it. That probably won’t happen on PvP servers (it’s an alliance starting area), but I can see this happening on PvE servers. I believe that type of harassment is reportable on live servers, so it might not happen too often…

The Saturday Special, 9-6-08

The Saturday Special:
~My Favorite DVD Movie Is~
- In Drama? Stand By Me. The believability of the characters is what I remember (I was around the same age as the characters at the time.)
- In Comedy? Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I saw this at a pre-release screening. I wore out that VHS tape from playing it so much. Allllllllrighty then!
- In Mystery/Suspense? Seven. I’m almost afraid to mention it.
- In Action/Adventure? The Matrix. It’s going to take a lot to topple this movie off the top of my must-have DVDs list.

Warcraft music available on iTunes – WOW Insider
Most of the albums available were included in past Collector’s Editions of Blizzard games, such as the original soundtracks of World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade, and even the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos soundtrack.
Here’s a link to the iTunes Store page. This is pretty neat, I think. I was not looking forward to extracting the music from the game files and filing in the information manually for each track. Also, this little morsel is there:

Looks like I’m late to the party. The other tracks seem to have been there for a while. They’re all iTunes Plus tracks.
