Rant 420 / I Like September 12

Holy crap! The swine flu virus was able to develop a resistance to the flu drugs in two girls at a camp in the US. One of the drugs was Tamiflu, a drug now famous for being effective against the swine flu. Well, maybe not anymore.

Fortunately they recovered and there is no mention of the new strains spreading. On the other hand, it just proves how easily the virus can become immune to the flu medicine we have now.









Now waiting for Tuesday when they finally add the new expansion for Runes of Magic. It is such a big deal, all US servers and the official RoM US website will be down from Monday 6pm ( local time) to Tuesday 6pm.

A new race and two new class will be released. Additionally the new zone, Savage Lands, will finally be opened. The Savage Lands is the unnamed zone with the incomplete buildings that I visited during my hike through the restricted areas.

This means lots of players will be starting brand new characters, ie the Savage Lands, designed for lv53-55 players, will be relatively empty.

Few players will also be gathering high level materials. Though fewer players will be crafting high level stuff, I'm pretty sure the guilds will still be running endgame instances regularly, therefore requiring high level potions and possibly equipment.

For this reason, I'm hoarding all my highest level materials (those that require lv51 gathering skills) for the new era. At the moment they're selling for prices similar to those that require lv44 gathering skills, so it's not worth my time to gather/sell them. But soon...











Woot Comex! No I'm not going, but my bro is. So he's going to buy a network adapter for me, plus a new router just in case our aging modem finally hits its expiry date. My mum also needs a new PC since the motherboard is practically in need of an ICU, but it would be not be worth it to buy a computer at Comex.

The prices aren't actually low, but it's just that they give lots of freebies to make it look cheap. Freebies that we don't need. We already have 2 printers, 3 portable hard disks (1 of them with 1TB capacity), multiple copies of Office 2007, 2-3 flash drives, 2 working laptops and enough copies of NOD32 Antivirus.

I'd be better off looking at the guide at hardwarezone and buying a PC built using the list of components given. At Fuwell they would recommend to you which is the closest to what you want if anything is out of stock, which some will definitely be. It is close to impossible to get exactly what is listed in the guide from a single store. The actual prices would also be slightly higher than those listed there.

However I would get a PC that is good at what I need it for, at a lower price. No warranties though, so a little expertise in PC first aid is a necessity.

Of course I could also buy some of the components at Comex, but I'm too lazy to learn to build a PC even though I know of an excellent video guide.











Oh no! The website that provides free NOD32 userkeys and passwords has just turned over a new leaf! What kind of mad world is this that pirates have, of all things, conscience??!

Anyway, time to hunt for a new password provider.

Hah! What do you know? There are tons of those websites out there! It seems the passwords are for demo purposes. So they expire within a week, but the websites always provide new userkeys and passwords just as frequently. No idea what their sources are though.

It's the best antivirus out there - free! What's not to like about it?











Americans Observing 9/11 By Trying Not To Masturbate

Sept 12 is Masturbation Day. ^^










Bored waiting for the new expansion and tired of farming, so I hiked to the edge of the world. Here are some pictures I took as souvenirs.






It can be deduced that where the world ends, the laws of physics are different and the Sun is purple.

Also, the white part is pure emptiness. I'm very very sure of that. If I fall in I'm either going to die or fall forever, depending on what the programmers coded for that.










Today a door-to-door salesman approached our family, claiming to sell "好看的东西". He was rejected, but then he asked if there were adults here. -.-

Excellent marketing skills there. Hope he gets caught with all his discs unsold, meets a suicide bomber on the way to prison, goes to the radicals' Heaven where he gets brutally gangraped by 72 male virgin weightlifters. And I hope he still constipates despite the artificially enhanced asshole.


Anyway I was wondering why anyone would buy from him in this day and age, when broadband internet is everywhere on this island and free porn sites are a dime a dozen online. It must take some ignorance to pay money for porn these days.

Or am I overestimating everyone? I probably am, judging by the way some people are still unaware that there are options in their computers that changes the power consumption and processor power.

The stupid exploits the more stupid, and the chain goes on until they hit those babies with Down's. At that point society can't exploit much anymore. Well retard porn does exist, but it's one of those less popular genres that's disgusting to 99.99% of the world.
