Random scribblings: Kicking habits and passing tests

Small update, since today so far has been an awesome day.I passed the driving theory test in England.. I had already passed the theory test in Ireland.. but never got to take the practical before I moved back to England and due to the way things work I couldn't just take the practical here.. even though I had already passed a theory test! So now I have to book some lessons in preparation for the practical.. which I'm kinda worried and yet excited about at the same time.Even though I had to come into work right after I had taken the test, it still...

Diablo 3: The Monk

As promised, I'm here again! This time with a little look at the class that I have been playing the most in the short spurts I've had at playing D3 recently. Unfortunately, most of my time has been taken up with working and.. being told what to do by she who must be obeyed.. so I'm whipped, what of it?! I actually have something else on my mind too, I was wondering about the different sites that offer homes to blogs and considering moving across...

Starcraft 2: The Day[9] phenomenon

Heyo all, welcome back to my blog! I hope you are all enjoying reading this as much as I am enjoying finally scribbling my random thoughts down! I realise I haven't done a post about Diablo 3 for a while, so after this one I think the next one will be dedicated to my Monk character. So while I was playing around with the 2v2 games about a year or so ago, I discovered Day[9]. He was a pro-gamer in the Starcraft: Brood War and he did very well for himself! At some stage he started making shout casts and for those who don't know.. shout...

Starcraft 2: The middling

So, where was I? Oh yes! I remember.. So I was left with Zerg! Why not? The general creepiness of the race seems to suit me.. or so she who must be obeyed tells me! After I had completed the campaign, I was ready for the ladder! Or so I thought, I dutifully played my placement matches and got the wondrous Bronze league! Though, as with most who got placed Bronze, I thought myself far better than that! I was at least Gold, maybe even platinum in my mind! I ended up playing quite a few matches and having double the wins that I had losses, which...

Starcraft 2: The beginning

With the Heart of the Swarm beta going on, I wanted to talk about how my love affair got started with Starcraft 2. So how and where do I start! I have been playing starcraft 2 since it was early beta, on and off I might add. It all started because ... Well because I got into the beta automatically because of work. I had never really played rts games all that much, I mean I messed around with games like command and conquer and warcraft: orcs and humans. The latter I only played a few times because I didn't have a computer and had to go round to...

Diablo 3 how to: Setting up the Real Money Auction House

First off.. wow, this has been a long time coming! I've been living back in the UK now for about 2 months and we only got the internet set up hmm, about a week or so ago thanks to moving into a newly built house share - BT and the landlord being utterly crap, managed to somehow fudge getting it set up for way too long.. and even now, the speed is garbage. I actually think I have poo'd faster than this internet. Let's get to the meat of this one. So, you found a nice shiny rare or legendary that you think someone else in the world may be able...
