  1. so i finally got around to restringing my guitar right? (it's an ibanez S470DX). So everything is going fine (blocked the trem in place to keep it at the right angle... floating trem != fun) until i get down to the last two strings.. when i realize the little metal wedges that hold the strings in place on the tremelo are missing. gone. kaput. after several minutes of panic, followed by many hours of frantic searching, i have given up on any hope of ever finding it. so... now what the fuck do i do? i looked at warmoth and the closest thing they sell is locking nuts for original floyd rose trems (which is not what i have-- i've got a shitty Lo-TRS II). so then i looked into a replacement trem ($180-200, way more than i can afford at the moment)...

    i.. i dunno what to do. i feel like breaking down and crying. you have no idea how badly this sucks. my guitar is thus rent by 2 tiny ass fucking pieces of metal. i don't understand how i could have lost them in the first place. i mean, you normally can't even pull them out if you try.

    needless to say, i am endlessly confused and frustrated and double locking trems can die DIE DIE DIE DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

    also, those who don't know what im talking about, here is an illustration:

    ok anyways, im going to go eat a cinder block and jump off a really tall bridge. afk.

  2. i've always wondered if you could convert a midi CC signal (ie that of a sustain pedal) into an actual midi note. that way you could use your sustain pedal for a kick controller or something. it wouldn't be velocity sensitive, and the action would suck cocks, but if you already have a sustain pedal it's a start.

  3. lol no kidding. orgrimmar is full of santa gnomes running around having massive snowball fights. i've noticed that snowballs have like a 1% chance of knocking people down. BUT if you're in a party with someone, it knocks them down 100% of the time. pretty hilarious watching a priest try to heal you while you're knocking him down with snowballs :D

    Just hit 53, went to BRD for the first time, looted some key off the bartender and ended up ruining the run for everyone :(

    Still though, got my stormshroud gear sorted, looks fucking class :D

    how did you ruin it? you need the key to get through the door that Phalanx is guarding after you clear all the pissed off drunkards.

  4. so no 1.9. anyways i witnessed one of the coolest threads in WoW history today, and i thought i'd reprise it all for you.

    It started with:

    To Blizzard with love,

    All the players down in Azeroth liked Christmas a lot, But the Blizzard staff, who lived just north of Azeroth, did not.

    The Blizzard hated Christmas the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason.

    It could be, perhaps, that their shoes were too tight. Or maybe their heads weren't screwed on just right.

    But I think that the best reason of all

    May have been that their hearts were two sizes too small.

    Blizzard staff: We must stop this whole thing!

    Why, for one whole year, We've put up with it now. We must stop Christmas from coming, but how?

    It came without ribbons! It came without tags!

    It came without packages boxes, or bags!

    And they puzzled three hours, till their puzzlers were sore.

    Then the Blizzard staff thought of something they hadn't before!

    "Maybe Christmas," they thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."

    And then the true meaning of Christmas came through, And the Blizzard staff found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two.

    Ok Blizz, it's December 12, where's Christmas? I've been waiting patiently, I've been good all year. I would like to get into my Christmasee cheer. Where are my snowballs, my enchantments, and rings? My gift boxes, eggnog, ribbons, and things?

    Did you really steal Christmas? Please tell me it's a lie! If you really stole Christmas, surely I'll die.

    Please Blizzard if you have a heart, please tell us all when Christmas will start!

    Just when you thought my poem was done, the players would like you to give this a run!

    The 1.9 patch, what's the hold up? It's taking so long, did you spill your coffee cup? We would like to see it live on our servers, filling us with a mighty fervor.

    Oh please Blizzard, tell us where's our 1.9 patch! I'm baking some cookies, and I'll give you a batch!

    Sincerly,

    Pika

    My dearest of Pikas, sweet gnome clad in pink,

    I'm saddened, appalled, nay, crushed that you'd think

    We'd forget the best, merriest time of the year

    And leave all of Azeroth bereft of cheer.

    Rest assured, my dear Pika, the glorious Feast

    Is coming for Humanoid, Undead and Beast

    On the 15th of this month, just three short, scant days

    So prepare to party in Winter Veil ways.

    "But Cay," you might say, "The Feast is old hat!

    "I saw it last year! Tell me, what good is that?"

    Ahh, but Greatfather Winter is clever and kind;

    There are all-new attractions and goodies to find!

    So be not dismayed by the lack of Veil cheer...

    It's around the corner, yes, coming this year!

    Now regarding the patch we've been testing for you,

    We still need some time, as there are tasks to do.

    We encourage your feedback when testing the patch

    So our own testing team can try your points, and match

    The bug to reproducible known issue notes.

    Your help is appreciated, and promotes

    A better relationship from day to day;

    But still, once again, I give no ETA.

    ;)

    Not to be a poop, but, would be a nice gesture to put a Menorah in somewhere......!?!?!
    My good Tauren Candya, I know that your heart

    May sometimes in these times feel further apart

    From those who celebrate now in other ways;

    Remember, however, that December days

    In Azeroth are spent in one giant Feast!

    No menorah, no manger, and the only Priest

    Is 60, Undead, lobbing snowballs at you;

    It's a fantasy world, and within it are new

    Adventures and holidays gone from real life.

    To say otherwise brings upon all much strife.

    It is Winter Veil, Candya, and so raise your glass!

    A new year is coming, the old one will pass!

    Kill Greenches, drink egg nog, get presents each night

    For the Earthmother loves you, and so does the Light!

    :)

    so of course, a few more people got into the act.

    Ah little Pika, it's a wonder to me,

    Why you worry so much when a great travesty

    Is set to decend upon our little heads

    While we are all sleeping alone in our beds!

    They come every year, from both far and wide,

    And there's never a place for us Gnomes to hide!

    They'll pull on our ears and tuck us away

    Under their arms while their teammates will stay

    Behind the start line while their ref make call

    To start a ghastly run game of Gnomish Football!

    But we must stay vigilant, and take what me may

    And not let Rogue Gnomes stoop low and betray

    Or intentions to combat the horror this year,

    We'll make other races tremble with fear!

    We'll pull out our swords, or wands and our guns

    And rush into combat, hustle our buns!

    We will start a war and we will do it right

    And we'll be the champions that rise up that night!

    We'll kick all the orcs through goal the posts,

    And make those taurens into ancestral ghosts!

    We'll give all the humans giant fat lips

    And the undead will make extra graveyard trips!

    Since we like dwarves, we'll distract them with treasure,

    But beating the night elves will give us much pleasure,

    And those nasty trolls with their big feet and tusks,

    At the end of the day will be empty husks.

    Yes this year it's time for the Gnomes to have glory,

    and that, my dear Pika, is the end of the story.

    Twas the night before patch day

    Twas the night before patch day and all thru Ironforge

    Not a creature was stirring, not alliance nor horde.

    The lag was amazing, FPS down to one

    No shopping the auctions, no fighting, no fun.

    When what to my wondering eyes should appear?

    An epic at auction! The perfect new gear!

    A fair buyout price and stats that were sweet

    I knew in a flash that I’d soon be quite l33t!

    I bid and I ran to the mailbox with care

    Just knowing my weapon soon would be there!

    But first I lagged hard and fell into the pit,

    WTF disconnected? OMG! That’s bull&*$%!

    I tried to log in as I lurked on the boards,

    And dreamed of the damage I’d do with that sword.

    At “authenticating” so long I did wait

    That I fell fast asleep – after all, it was late.

    Those hours of grinding had left me braindead,

    But visions of ganking still danced in my head.

    When from my computer arose such a clatter,

    I sprang from my nap to see what was the matter!

    “OMG I’ve been nerfed!” was the cry that I heard

    The hunters were moaning (shaman said not a word).

    I laughed to myself and thought “tough break, chump”

    I was secretly glad my own class got a bump!

    When the pallies complained I said “sucks to be you”

    And to all the rogues – “Learn to play, freakin’ newb!”

    With joy in my heart I ran fast to the mail

    To grab my new weapon and unleash all hell!

    I clicked and Oh Noes! My very worst fear!

    Empty mailbox – no message – and no purple gear!

    I paged a GM and submitted a ticket

    And waited all day in hopes someone would get it.

    When what to my wondering eyes should appear?

    A sparkly GM with uber-sweet gear!

    His eyes how they twinkled! His whispers so merry,

    He said “I’ve arrived to answer your query!”

    “My gold is all gone! My weapon has vanished!”

    I screamed at him, beginning to panic.

    “We aware of the problem” was all he would say,

    “I can’t help you out, but have a nice day.”

    I threatened to cancel, to flame and to cry…

    He just cut and pasted another reply.

    I cursed and I broadcast my plight o’er the land.

    The only result: for 3 days I was banned.

    The lesson here kiddies, for young and for old:

    When the lag-meter’s red, hang onto your gold;

    And before you laugh at another’s bad luck,

    Eventually you’ll be the one who gets %*&$ed!

    makes me want to start an OCR christmas poem thread.

  5. is 1.9 out yet?

    also, regarding the dude with teh CD drive problem: reset your bios back to defaults. if that don't work, format. and get a good virus scanner. and if that's a lame attempt at warez in disguise, ROFLMAO ZEDONG and uhh good luck with that kthx.

  6. all i know is if you're horde, 'D C D' comes out as L O L to allies.

    and i've seen more than one alliance guy say "U Lo Se" though im not sure what they type to get it.

    the only other way i know of to communicate is through the gnomish mind control cap and then emoting whatever it is you want to say. i had some 60 warlock do that to me when i was around lvl 35 at nessingwary's camp and he was telling me to get the fuck out of stranglethorn. so i got some guildies to come push his shit in. fun times.

  7. the aspect of the cheetah/aspect of the pack buff in 1.9 ONLY AFFECTS DAMAGE OVER TIME. it's about freaking time too. the way it was before, EVERY type of damage would put you into dazed, including each and every tick from a DoT.

    normal attacks and direct damage spells will still cause dazed.

    pallies need to die more. they're just getting harder and harder to fucking kill. an epic paladin isn't even worth the fight because you aren't going to kill him plain and simple. and now with 8% speed increase it's going to be even harder to get away from them.

  8. i've never had that problem, but if you still can't get it sorted out you can always get a pre-paid 60 day game card. they're like $28 at walmart last i checked.

    anyways i now understand what people mean when they say paladins are overpowered... they most definately are.

    i've begun my big grind to rank 11.

    i essentially refuse to play AB now without a good group going in. in PUGs i've seen 1 paladin and 1 warrior hold a point against 5 horde. the paladin has a freaking counter for everything we do against them. they get out of snares, they cleanse my mana drain poison (WHY CAN IT BE CLEANSED!!?!?), and they can shield and heal the hell out of the warrior. it's god damn ridiculous.

    not to mention the fucking elves and their shadowmeld. track hidden is the most useless skill ever, and now flare is getting horribly nerfed, so i basically have no way to counter elves anymore.

  9. you could say all classes are like that in end-game (except for MTs and maybe feral druids).

    mages: pyroblast, fireball, fireball, fireball, wand, wand, wand, wand, wand, wand, repeat

    hunters: hunter's mark, aimed shot, multishot, feign death, repeat

    warlocks: shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, life tap, death coil, repeat

    shamans: totem, totem, totem, totem, heal, heal, heal, heal, earthshock, repeat

    warriors (non MT): enrage, battleshout, rend, heroic strike, heroic strike, heroic strike, repeat

    rogues: sinister strike, sinister strike, sinister strike, sinister strike, eviscerate, repeat

    priests/druids: heal. repeat unto infinity.
