My Japanese Name
by ryan on May.10, 2009, under Personal, Silliness
My authentic japanese name is 猿渡 Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) 籍真 Kazuma (take part in reality).
Interesting. I kinda like the feel of Kazuma.
And….once I got the order right (I think.):
坂本 Sakamoto (book of the hill) 国海 Kuniumi (country ocean).

Doing a bit of questing on my alt tonight. About to turn in a quest and took a bit of a detour (on a whim) to see if I could spot a very rare creature. Looks like the hunter luck was with me tonight…

Things to do when the WoW realms are laggy
by ryan on Nov.11, 2008, under MMORPGs, World of Warcraft
Since the realms are currently down due to some mailbox issues (I have immense sympathy for the Blizzard IT guys…), I thought I’d begin making a list of things to do when you’re in the game, but otherwise can’t be doing the things you usually do in the game (quest, level professions, gather mats, etc.) due to the crush of players that are going to hit Northrend and the Death Knight starting areas. This list will probably grow over time since there’s at least one maintenance period a week in WoW. Here goes…
BRK’s Podcast Gets an “A”

BigRedKitty Podcast Episode One : It was a very good first episode! I already subscribe to the feed, but I’ll try and add it in iTunes for a convenient way to get the future episodes (of which I hope for many.) He’s far too modest (I knew it! He’s got some serious skills.) I’ve dabbled in Garageband myself, and while it’s a great app, it’s not super easy to use. His video-editing skills seem to have translated to the audio side of things pretty well.
Even though lots of things in beta are “borked” at this point, I still hope I get a beta key soon. I’d like to try out other hunter specs without the pain of respec costs (a semi-hardcore raider’s gotta conserve gold as much as possible…) and I’d like to take a Deathknight for a spin as well.
I hope episode 2 comes soon. Rawr!
