Unwashed Village / I didn't know the UV was still around!

When I originally started posting on the Unwashed Village it was back on the old forum. I think I was in 8th grade then and I'm 36 now so wow, time has really gone by. Just wanted to say I'm still around and I'll be peeking in from time to time.

Unwashed Village / Wrath of the Lich King launch!

Ah, it's that time! A new WoW expansion.

It's been a pretty smooth launch so far, at least when it comes to the realms being stable. (For those joining in, I work tech support for Blizzard).

The main problem we have is that the DVD of the game is dual layered and most older dvd drives are running on older firmware that can't read it properly.

They've actually consolidated the installations into a single disc, so if you don't have WoW or Burning Crusade installed you can install from the LK disc and it will install everything up to 3.0.1 which is about time!

I actually haven't gotten a chance to play myself, I worked 6pm to 5am for the launch, went home, created a Death Knight, immediately passed out, and now I'm working 2pm to 1am. We've already been hearing that some European players have been hitting level 80.

Maybe I'll get to play after I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday.....the massive amounts of overtime is nice. and my collector's edition signed by the dev team is even nicer!

Unwashed Village / I finally left Memphis!

And I'm staying with my girlfriend's family in Austin, TX until I get a place of my own. I've had a few job interviews that have gone well, even one with Blizzard here in Austin for their technical support. Just letting everyone know that I've been a little busy getting settled in.

It's really really nice here, and I'm hoping all works out. And now here's a picture of the fireworks we went to see last night.

Unwashed Village / Bungee cords hurt by the way...

Thanks for the whiplash, life has just been super hectic lately (Laid off from my job - my job got outsourced to the Philippines! - trying to find another job and making sure bills get paid).

It's good to know everyone is still around and hopefully I'll be a presence again, once I recover from that rather rough bungee cord pull.
