4:20 pm	Warcraft 3, cool stuff ;) Yeah, this game is great. I love it, even though it's kinda simple when you get down to it.. believe you me, it's still tough. Today's rant on LJ i think is going to be wc3 ratings, yes, when i should be cleaning my room. Bite me! :P There are 4 races in Warcraft. The first one i'm going to start off with is night elves. I'm going to rate them on 10 things, and hell why not, it's out of 10: 1) Gold & Lumber collection 2) Melee attacking 3) Expanding 4) Pure defence capabilities 5) Speed 6) Air attacking 7) Spellcasting 8) Heroes 9) Overall power 10) Are they fun to play? I'm going to start off with night elves.. here we go. :) 1) Gold/Lumber 7/10 - Night elves lose a lot of speed (believe it or not) by having to use a wisp to become a tree of life, which then has to entangle a gold mine, which finally can be used by wisps (although it does protect them, you can destroy the entanglement.. bleh) The whole proccess takes longer than you think. They get points back for wisps being able to be ANYWHERE, which allows them to be used as scouts as well as getting lumber and not losing trees, which can be used as defensive structures. 2) Melee attacking 2/10 - Simply put, night elves aren't melee attackers. They have druids of the claw, who are spellcasters attempting to be melee units, but when they get down to the test, they really aren't good at all compared to say, a knight. Or a tauren. Or *anything*. And besides the demon hunter, that's about all you're going to get in terms of melee units for night elves. 3) Expanding 7/10 - It's not that they're bad at it, but night elves lose lots of time with expansion compared to every other race, just with the starting up of the trees and such. What they lose in speed, they make up for with 'mobile' defence, even though trees are slow as dirt :P 4) Pure defence capabilities 9/10 - Simply put, after a lot of testing, night elves not only have the strongest towers in terms of hitpoints, but also moon wells. This makes them rock solid on defence, even if their units are lacking some hitpoints. 5) Speed 8/10 - Night elves are pretty damn fast. They lose points again for not being able to expand fast, but they're still really strong with cheap archers, huntresses, and lumber gaining. One of the fastest races to be able to play. 6) Air attacking 10/10 - Yep. Night elves are the best to attack anything in the air. Nearly every one of their units (except for the pretend melee druids in bear form) can attack flying stuff, PLUS they have hippogryph riders, which are nearing the strongest air unit on it's own, so if you're going Air against night elves, you're really not going to do that well. :) 7) Spellcasting 5/10 - Have i said how much druids of the claw suck yet? Cyclone isn't even that great of a spell.. if it was auto cast it would be awesome, but generally you're doing other things in a battle instead of clicking on a druid of the claw and casting cyclone on one unit, since that's generally when you die. 8) Heroes 8/10 - Night elf heroes are STRONG. They are. Demon hunter is dangerous early, middle, and late game, and either one of the other heroes are good backup for them, especially once you get to level 6, for starfall and rejuvination. Otherwise, the treants are strong, and the aura for archers/ranged units is amazing, so it balances them all out nicely. Night elves only have a bit of troubling levelling up their heroes, but once the hunter starts getting stronger, they work out quite nicely. 9) Overall power 7/10 - They're fairly strong, but.. I don't know. Night elf units are very weak in HP, and melee makes up a good part of the game. They have no healing properties except for Moon wells and Rejuvination, so an average night elf player vs a average melee hitter will have problems almost every time, unless they're sitting in their own base. They're still strong, but not as beefy as you want/need sometimes. 10) Fun to play? 8/10 - They are fun to play, just the funniness of ripping trees out of the ground and smacking people around with them. :) They get a bit frustrating at times, when you feel you're pumping out archers at the rate of 20 per minute, but eventually that changes, and you're ok. Anyways, yeah! Night elves! Other races later :p (Comment on this)

12:32 am	Ohhh. WATCH me comment on livejournal. I haven't updated this SOB since october, and i think it's about damn time i did so, damnit! ... So .. yeah.. ..it's cold outside. Anyways, yeah, going bowling friday! Greeeeeat fun! I have to break 200 one of these days, it may as well be the one where like, a million people are at the bowling alley! Of course, with fate being what.. well, fate is, that means i'm going to bowl a 70, followed by a **2**, and then spend the rest of the night playing the ghetto simpsons game at Crystal bowl. After that, i get to uhm.. work, on saturday..then go to a partay! A christmas party even, with my coworkers. Which should be fun, in *theory*. But we're going to dave and busters, and the only reason i really want to go is to see A) Angie B) Cathy C) Natalie D) Marco E) Chiara, Rosemary.. maybe Terry, and.. everyone else is just like.. yeah, i'm going to see them. Cool! Seeeeeing. But.. whatever.. *shrugs* All the night will be, is everyone DRINKING. and getting trashed.. on our tip money. Hoo-friggin ha. We'll eat stuff.. and i'll be in my WORK uniform, woo, then we'll drink and drink. Or .. whatever. heh Then i get to work the next day.. yeah. :) Anyway, celerons ROCK. This one is so slow now it's not even funny! Kind of like me, i need to get to sleep, the energy is gonnne. Gnight! (Comment on this)

1:02 am	I'm the posterboy for RMD! Yeah, I just kinda realized that. Reptitive motion disorder, aka "Making the same movements over, and over, and over again." Let's see.. I work in RETAIL. I make people coffees, the same thing. Over, and over. And over.. and over.. and over. Then, when I go to school, I'm in animation. This means drawing things over, and over, and over, and over. My career will be this. And.. on the computer. Moving the mouse, over, and over.. and over.. and over. My future job will be a combination of the 2. When I get home, I get on the computer. And move the mouse.. (etc.) Plus, my hand already hurts like it's in mad pain. I hope by the year 2020, there'll be cybernetic implants.. because i'll need one. : ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:03 am	So today, it's wednesday. I just came home (well, almost) from 6 straight hours of drawing.. funfunfunfun. And Thursday (tommorow, duh) is more drawing. Of hallways. Not that i'm an expert on drawing hallways, but we already drew hallways.. for EIGHT HOURS. Last week though, so.. I guess i can't really complain, I need to practice.. And where the hell was I going with that thought? :) Oh, RIGHT! There is a random person who added me to their friends list *waves to Puttysan* Yo! And I have a feeling I might actually LOOK at livejournal once in a while! Oh my god, the world is ending! Right. Something like that.. Anyways, how many shitty dance remixes are there? I can't believe some of this trash gets published, or put on dance floors, or even CONSIDERED by the people who are making them. Like, seriously, what the *fuck* are you thinking? Did techno music kill all of your braincells that you take a song that's already bordering on "I want to kill myself from hearing the bass in my ears" and remix it so that it's too fast to humanly do anything but shake your head so fast to it you have a seizure? WHY? Why ruin bad songs?! Dancefloordancefloordancefloordancefloordandandandandandadaandandnandandnanda *SHOOTS SELF* What the hell is this crap? :( (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:24 pm	School, roger, over and out! Anyways, on my second day in my new 3d broadcasting course, I finally get to go near the computers.. nice place and setup we have around here. Without even looking at the tech specs for these machines, I'd say we have a room full of 9 imac g4s (600 mhz is my guess), and around 30 1.5ghz + computers that are spiffed up for maya.. not as good as my machine at home, but it's kinda hard to get as good as my machine at home, let alone 30 of them all at once. I'm on my break, and going to call nina now, so.. over and out LJ :o (Comment on this)

2:10 pm	Well, here I am.. It's late sunday afternoon, and college is tommorow. My first day in college, and my first step inside a school to go to a "class" in almost 2 years.. scary stuff. :) I've just orange-ized my hair. Yes, orangized. It's the first time i've EVER done anything with my hair.. the back and the sides are now a bright orange, after I bleached it. It's a nice contrast, actually (no thanks to your "Dark brown hair" theory steve! ) although I'm pretty sure the blonde looked better when I bleached it, but then i'd look like a moron, and I wouldn't be in halloween colours! I'll upload a picture here eventually, but until then.. peace :D (Comment on this)

2:15 pm	Inherant stupidity.. Listen, people, if you're going to try and turn when there's a light, and the light lasts a total of 11 seconds, do NOT play chicken with pedestrians unless you are a professional assassin and are taunting your prey, because it looks REALLY stupid when you are gunning down on me in the middle of a busy intersection. The reason pedestrians have the right of way is because they don't have HUGE METAL VEHICLES, and if you hit them, it will shatter their *SPINE*. You do not have the right of way, turning left from a random street, to nearly hit a group of five pedestrians, then shake your fist as if we've done something wrong like a disturbed psychopath. Then we go to subway. Like, in all seriousness, who doesn't know what cheddar cheese is? The same woman who took 5 minutes to decide what type of bread she wanted. (No kidding. She called her company on her cell phone for THREE SUBS and took 5 minutes in line because she can't choose between white, whole wheat, and Jalepeno) "What kind of cheese would you like on that m'aam?" "Hmm.. what kind of cheese is that.. cheddar?" ::blank silence:: If not for the people in line, it would've been worth another $6.55 to beat her in the face with my footlong turkey sub, and buy a new one. I'm sure your boss at work isn't going to fire you because you picked whole wheat for his frickin' bun. Anyway..back to work. ;p (Comment on this)

11:18 pm	Anyways, ok, now that i know what i'm doing.. Hi. I'm Scott. *bows* I'm sure that none of you care, because you've seen lots of scotts in your life and stuff. This is even more redundant for my friends who are reading LJ, mostly because they know who I am.. I don't have to tell you guys that i'm Scott.. May as well start this off with my addictions! *scratches a lot* Oww.. #1 on my addiction list is SCRATCHING As a wee child, I was born with the gift of red spots all over my body, and was cursed to be scratching 24/7, 365 days a year. I have been since i was born, and i don't think i'm ever going to stop. See, usually my skin looks like like this dude : except well.. maybe it really doesn't.. but it FEELS like that. That's what I would look like if I had nails like Freddy Kruegar (with the amount that i scratch) :) It's painful, but what can I do? I've tried every cream from here to gods green earth and somehow ended up with celestoderm.. Fun stuff. Some people joke about how they eat so much of a certain thing, their body becomes it. Like.. "You drink so much orange juice, it should be in your bloodstream by now!". Well, the same is true of my skin. I think my new skin that grows back must be 90% steroids, and 10% actual flesh.. Oh well :) (Comment on this)
11:04 pm	Right. So here I am with a livejournal. Go me.. go livejournal! (Why the hell am I doing this again?) Oh right.. because I have a free code, and I'm waiting for tales of Phantasia to download and stuff.. and while I talk to Steve, I can type up something completely random like how much black belts ROCK in final fantasy 1. Yep. They really really do :) Uhhhmm, anywho, it looks like i have to remember my HTML 'skillz' from 2 years ago, y'know, when I actually *worked* with html code, and not just tiptaptaptaptiptyped all over the place on icq and such.. so as such, we will do a little experiment that's sure to look absolutely stupid to the rest of the people on earth, because when I submit this thing I'm sure I won't be able to format it, and it'll get posted with the wrong html code! (And DAMN, that was one SWEET runon sentance!) Anywho.. behold the test of my HTML. Hi. I am scott. Did you know that 99.9% of you will never experience the wonder of Betamethasone Valerate Glucocorticoid cream? I wonder if blink still works.. BIG LETTERS are cool! Small ones are too! Ok.. and the final test.. Frickin booya. Anywho.. there you go. more later. :) Current Mood: Itchy (Comment on this)
