[od3rus] I hope the world ends cataclysmically real soon so that future archaeologists think he was a god
It’s official…PvP System in the July 30th patch of AoC!
Oh…it’s on.
Like Donkey Kong in a thong.
No matter right or wrong.
Someone’s gonna be cleaning my bong.
VilePickle finally listened to our incessant elitist QWTF rantings and has been working hard on a TF2 Canalzon version. Will this be enough to bring us back to the TF2 frontier? Hell no. But it’ll be worth the download once it’s finished. Check out the screenshots.
We all know how good YTMND used to be.
Used to be? Nothing’s changed, people are still creating crazy shit.
This one right here is my new all-time fave.
For those who’ve stuck with AoC there’s been a bit of frustration due to lack of content finalization and all the bugs. People always are asking how can you guys stick with a broken piece of shit game?! Well, this is actually the norm when it comes to MMO’s, notoriously rough to develop with the amount of content needed it’s not a huge surprise that there’s a lot left to do. In the end having the initial playerbase thin about isn’t such a bad thing because it was getting crowded everywhere you go and in MMO’s it is all about the playerbase. Now comes word that Funcom admits the game isn’t done and they promise that the game will be done in a month. With the PvP system going in soon this may actually be true, but I won’t be holding my breath. Stupid Norwegians.
With the impending NFL season not far off I was busy today digging up whatever I could on the America’s most popular pastime. The big news of course is the Favre saga which will soon be over when this happens. While that drama goes down though the NFL has bigger problems, like the use of gang signs and the thought of Eli singing karoake in public. But what do we care, all we care about is how to win our fantasy pools and what anorexic bitches football players are boning. We even care about the Dolphins, but for other reasons. So sit back and be patient, slap on your favorite Jean Claude Van Damme movie while you wait for the pre-season to begin!!
I know ya’ll miss the atrocities of the internet I used to post on a regular basis but hey we need to be semi-SFW nowadays right? Ok maybe not.

One involves 50 year old crabs and the other involves a 50 year old clam. Read more »

We’re at the halfway mark in the 1st leg of the Ht Ultimate Pool and it’s been a good race so far in the MLB stage. Below, we’ll take a look at how each team has performed, the good and the bad, up until the All Star Game which took place tonight. For members of the Ultimate, we’ve got the EPL and NFL starting up very soon and both pools are now open, hit up the Ultimate Forum for links and info.
1st Place. Fro has been quietly distancing himself from the pack and has improved his overall lead on 2nd place to 300 points. With a scary batting order and a few true pitching aces Fro has the inside edge on finishing first this year. His team rests on Hanley Ramirez continuing to be lights out and the emergence of Evan Longoria and Brandon Phillips ensure nightly outputs.
2nd Place. My team has recently crept up into 2nd but still has a tough battle with both Breathe and Bucky hot on my tail. My pitching is the reason for the recent surge as it’s loaded with aces but only my batting order can keep me there and in some weeks the power production has been less than stellar. But with Harden’s recent trade to the league leading Cubs, Volquez rounding back into form and the Doc’s dominance there’s been some big outputs. Trading one of the top shortstops was a risky move but if Guzman can continue to produce and Prince Fielder gets his power back things will be coming up roses.
3rd Place. Bucky’s team has some real all star talent with Josh Hamilton, Dan Uggla, Ryan Howard and the recently acquired A-Rod now in his squad there could be a serious run down the stretch if all of these players stay red hot. But the pitching has been downgraded even with the addition of Lackey and there’s holes thanks to numerous injuries and questionable moves. But, the pitching has serious potential and with one of the best closers in the game there will be points from the pitchers every week.
4th Place. Breathe’s team looks nothing like his starting day roster thanks to more drops and trades than humanly possible. But hey he keeps it interesting, right? And the team is good, there’s plenty of stars but not a lot of depth. With injuries playing a part and 4 pitchers not available to use the cupboards are bare after the selling spree is over. But 4th place is good and big batting outputs have kept him in the hunt near the top. Braun, Rollins, Holliday and Ordonez will all need to be all stars to ensure Bren stays in the top 5.
5th Place. Kenyon’s team has been in 2nd for most of the first half but thanks to some key injuries and little player movement the drop down the ladder has begun. Losing Soriano would cripple any team but there’s some good players to keep the daily totals from not being single digits. With a collection of some of the best 2nd day starters out there this bullpen will surprise you week to week and the Berkman/Utley combo guarantees contention.
6th Place. Fiddler has a slim lead on the next 2 spots and will need to continue to output to stay in the top 6. This team has some serious batters but the bullpen is quite thin. The starters are as good as a team has out there with unheralded players such as Brian McCann, Carlos Quentin and Xavier Nady helping out the stars, Sizemore, Wright and Carlos Lee there’s strength to fear. But when a Giants pitcher that isn’t named Timmy is your #1 starter, you may need to re-assess that rotation.
7th Place. Fluxcore’s team has been consistent and has been in the midst of the hunt all year. While the batting order isn’t fearsome his pitchers are. With Sheets, Hamels, Haren and Jurrjens as starters and adept relievers the stability is there. Injuries have hit in the batting order but Jason Bay who was acquired in a trade has helped the power outage.
8th Place. Val has climbed out the basement over the past month and has begun to climb up the charts. Both Jose Reyes and Nate McLouth have had a huge part in that but more recently, both Teixeira and CC Sabathia have picked up their games and have pushed Val up and up and up. At the halfway mark, moving from last to the middle is impressive but the chances that moving from middle to the top are quite slim.
9th Place. Indig also was a basement dweller but after a big trade it has been looking groovy lately. Sure it cost him A-Rod but all of a sudden this line-up has teeth, Derrek Lee, Kinsler, Ellsbury and Atkins all do well at their positions and Giambi has been on fire in the first half. Adding Santana to go with a now reliable Verlander and all star canuck Ryan Dempster means that 9th isn’t where Indig will be ending up this year. Losing Matsui for the year won’t help though as his Yankee count is down to 2.
10th Place. The largest slide goes to Rumple who at one point was holding on to 2nd comfortably. It’s hard to decipher why, with 4 of the top pitchers in the game his bullpen is solid and the batting order is solid with some decent hitters who have been producing. But it just hasn’t been coming together and changes need to be made before Rumple is sitting next to Lox on the shortbus.
11th Place. Blackie’s fall from grace is much easier to decipher however, as his bullpen is just abysmal. Aging pitchers have not faired well this year and have been hardly reliable. His batting line-up has strengths especially breakout fantasy player and all star MVP J.D. Drew along with mainstays Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols and Chipper Jones but something isn’t working. Cashing in on all that power for a reliable ace could turn this sinking ship around.
12th Place. Lox’s last place finish is inevitable at this point. A number of factors have guaranteed this, namely not being able to edit his freakin’ line-up to start! That and hard luck injuries and players tanking it once they find out they are property of Dr. Loxopus. The bullpen has been picked dry but the batters have some strength with Bradley, Cantu and AG all looking better than expected. But unfortunately the return of David Ortiz isn’t going to climb Lox out of this hole. Better start studying up on your English League Soccer!!
Everyone keeps asking me, what’s Ht going to be playing down the road?
Is Age of Conan going to last with all the bugs and lack of content?
Will the WarHammer MMO be the next Hostile destination?
Will the next WoW expansion sway people back?
It’s tough to tell, I know the people still playing AoC are having fun and as we near Tier 3 buildings and look to merging to fill out our 80 playerbase it does look like AoC is here to stay. As for WarHammer, the people in the beta have told me it’s actually not that impressive and isn’t anything groundbreaking, especially since the nerfhammer struck hard. WoW, as great a game as it is it’s not made for PvP and the game has been dumbed down so hard Lox could do well in it, so the answer is we haven’t lost sight of our goals in AoC so fatalities, city building and open world PvP runs in Hyboria are our plan for the future.
With E3 now underway there’s a ton of game news that’s coming out. But who really cares about a new dashboard for the XBox or an agreement with Microsoft and NetFlix. All we care about is Fallout 3!!! However, now that gameplay footage has been shown I’m not all that excited anymore. It’s looking very standard FPS style gameplay with BioShock inspirations. Zzzz. But what did get my goose cookin’ was the trailer for the upcoming Wii action title called Mad World. Now that looks sick and they named it after me!
Well we’re into summer now and between the heat stroke and partying it’s highly recommended to relax and watch some of the summer flicks. Thankfully in todays technological age that doesn’t require you to be sitting in some sticky theatre with a bunch of other idiots, you can do it in front of your TV streaming good old rip’s all night. So here’s just a few of the better movies and rips you could be enjoying if you know how a torrent works.
Wanted
Definitely one of the summers big blockbusters, this assassin flick goes way over the top but doesn’t disappoint with a ton of great action and some hilarious moments. While you’re not doing yourself a favor watching this outside a theater this rip is as good as a cam gets, even if a bit of it is cut-off.

The Love Guru
Ok, it has a few things going for it namely Jessica Alba, Vern Troyer, Justin Timberlake as a french canadian goalie and the implausible idea that the Toronto Maple Leafs could be in the Stanley Cup Finals. All of these together don’t save this pretty crappy movie but hey, it’s rare to have a quality Screener available for a movie still out in theaters so this is the best way to avoid paying for something this crappy.

Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay
This one starts off right where the last one ended but quickly loses the appeal the first one had. The cock jokes get old fast and the weed focus isn’t even that trippy but it’s still 2 hours of stonerrific comedy and how can you complain when it’s DVD quality.

Kung Fu Panda
I didn’t expect to like this movie as much as I did but it’s just gorgeous and hilarious throughout. You may want to wait for the DVD rip but this one is more than adequate and since you need to see this movie, take the plunge and grab it!

Be Kind Rewind
From Jack Black good to Jack Black bad, I disliked this movie from the get go. It just bored me to tears and I can’t recommend watching it but then it is a DVD rip and you can throw it on while doing something useful, like sawing out your eyes.

The Art of War 2: The Betrayal
While I haven’t watched this one yet I definitely plan to because uhh wtf, isn’t Wesley Snipes in jail?! I loved the first one, let’s hope this isn’t a pure cheesefest and built off the first. And if not, least we didn’t give Wesley any bail money.

Stop-Loss
While better than I expected it was still 2 hours of watching Ryan Phillipe which I can’t recommend to anyone. The lone war scene wasn’t too bad but having to wade through Texan accents and boring American muscle flexing put me to sleep.

In Bruges
This was a great flick and some even say movie of the year. A story of 2 assassins who must hide out in Bruges may not be action packed but it progresses nicely and has a few things you won’t see coming. While not the typical Hollywood blockbuster it’s worth the time it takes to download and watch.

Futurama The Beast With a Billion Backs
The 2nd in the straight to DVD movies the gang is back and continues on with their interstellar romps. It’s the same as we’re used to and doesn’t do anything overly special but if you’re a fan of Futurama how else did you plan to watch this?

Step Up 2: The Streets
I know most of you will balk at the thought of watching some crappy dance movie sequel. I hear ya, these are always painful to watch. But hold up, this one actually does a lot of things right. It has a funny storyline with some actual interesting characters, it has a ton of breaking and one of the best ending choreographed scenes of any dance movie. If you’re bored take the chance.

Never Back Down
While I haven’t watched it nor do I really care to this modern day Karate Kid has got to have a few things we can all enjoy. Hot chicks and head busting. Mixed martial arts takes over when the new kid comes to town, yeah you know the rest.
