I have finally had some luck with the free card packs. With over $200 spent on packs I had never won a Lola card of any rarity then out of a silver card pack this appears.

I ended up putting it in a headset and upgrading to 264y drive giving me a 280y powershot which is pretty crazy. I have yet to decide whether I’ll stick with this or not as its quite hard to give up both ears and two control.

The extra drive does have some benefits though.

I finally made it and I never want to see the front 3 holes of Deep Inferno again.

Still looking almost exactly the same as my Semi Pro screenshot.

Another useless record post. This time -28 Wiz Wiz which is equal to what I had on A18. Really should have been -29 but missed a putt and got par.

For the first time in nearly two years I have set a record higher than my Albatross 18 scores. Up until this game none of my records exceeded 4 chip ins but in this round I somehow managed 8. I missed pangya once in 1m wind and had a few other near misses. On hole 18 I decided to pop a silent wind for the first time ever and ended up chipping in.

Since this game I also hit -28 Blue Lagoon and -29 Pink Wind so it appears it wasnt a total fluke.

I decided to go and record the ghost of the round before it ends up breaking like usual.

It has been well over a year since my last post but I am still here. I finally got around to upgrading wordpress as I was getting spammed constantly with bot signup requests.

Following my usual rotation of games which is any mmo, TF2 and Pangya I currently find myself playing loligolf again.

In the last year I played some WoW but only single boxed this time. I ended up with a level 80 Priest, Druid and Paladin but never really progressed past 5 man heroics. I also played a few months of Aion but got bored with the grind/botfest pretty fast.

As usual I also played quite a bit of TF2 but only public play this time, no serious clan stuff. The recent unlocks and cash shop stuff has really put me off playing again but I’m sure I’ll end up trolling pub servers at some point.

Last of all I am playing Pangya again thanks to the release of guilds. Back on A18 I never ended up joining a guild so its a new experience for me. Guild chat is a nice way to help ignore all the non english spam the game is still filled with. Despite what I said in my last blog post over a year ago about never leveling up again I am actually nearly there. I’m currently Semi Pro A with around 4000 XP remaining.

I will probably post a bit more frequently now with various pangya records and stuff.

It has been over a year since my last loligolf updated but I finally have something worth mentioning. Thanks to the Season 4 XP changes I managed to grind my way to Semi Pro E rank.

This will probably be the last time I ever level up in this game. To make it to Pro rank requires 35258 experience which is roughly 11 days of playtime for me.

I also managed to win two of the swimsuits from the current event. The strange thing was that I won both in the same game. Considering how many people are bitching about the rates on the forums the chances for this to happen must be pretty slim.

Sadly this screenshot is an indication of how most games go for me, some random portugese bullshit followed by disabling chat.

I got bored and decided to try the Windows 7 beta on my Dell laptop. Much to my suprise my horrible creative soundcard and wireless adapter worked out of the box both of which caused me much grief under 64bit XP.

So far it appears Microsoft have learnt from the disaster that was Vista’s launch and the whole thing seems a lot more streamlined.

It took me roughly 20 minutes to get up and running and the only drivers I installed were the Dell touchpad and the updated ATI drivers. Both of these were functioning on install other than the scrollbars on the touchpad and the ability to disable it when another input device is detected.

The only issue I’ve run into so far is the fact that gameguard will not run and nprotect apparently have no plans of supporting a beta OS. I really did want to see if WIn7 made any difference to my ongoing Albatross 18 performance issues but I guess that will have to wait for a retail release and most likely will be as fucked as vista anyway.

After purchasing a Belkin N52te gamepad to go with my laptop I decided to make a single class group to get used to the controller. The gamepad has been great so far with the main improvement being the ability to control movement with your thumb leaving the other buttons much more easily accessible.

Still wanting to avoid the generic five Shaman group I ended up making some Druid’s. So far they have been insanely easy to level with and by avoiding instances this time I managed to get level 40 in 1 day 4 hours played. When leveling at this speed there doesn’t seem to be much point trying to get equipment until outlands.

I haven’t really had a chance to do anything with them since getting Moonkin form but my first trip to Thunder Bluff to get skills gathered quite a crowd.

My laptop finally arrived from Dell and actually came earlier than scheduled which happened to work out perfectly as I was home at the time.

Of course the first thing I did was install World of Warcraft on it and tested my planned multibox setup. Everything seems to be working well and I managed to get everything running decently even with Fraps recording.

Here is my new uber setup (clicky for full size)

I also recorded my first Instance run using the laptop which went better than expected considering the new keyboard layout. There was only one near death moment where I somehow missed my break auto follow key and got AOE spammed.

I have uploaded the video to vimeo for the moment and it can be found here.

It has been a while since my last post mostly due to the fact that no one visits this site but also due to the fact I’m now totally addicted to World of Warcraft. Somehow I quickly progressed from avoiding playing WoW for nearly three years to multiboxing five accounts at once.

For those that don’t know multiboxing is basically controlling multiple characters at once generally done by sending key presses to each WoW window. I started doing this with two accounts to make the most of the refer a friend bonus  (3x experience) but realised that running five wouldn’t be much harder.

After messing around with some groups of five Shamans and five Druid’s I decided to make a group of mixed classes for a bit of a challenge. My current setup is a Protection Paladin tank, Holy Paladin healer and three fire mages. Despite being totally under geared I managed to level to 30 within 23 hours playtime by only doing kill quests as looting five times the items for collection quests is horrid.

Thanks to the refer a friend bonus I have leveled super fast but the downside is that you only receive normal gold from monsters and quests leaving me unable to afford most of my skills. To get some money and equipment I started attempting some instances at level 33 which was a nice challenge after being able to nearly one shot kill any quest monsters.

I managed to run through  The Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard at 33 and Library at 35 without too much trouble at all. I have since moved on to the Armory to finally get some decent mail armor for my tank but it seems the Cathedral is still a bit hard for me. I did manage to clear the entire instance but ended up wiping on the boss thanks to some add’s (or just respawns) right at the end.

After level 40 and completing The Scarlet Monastery instances I think I will go back to questing until 60. There doesn’t seem to be that much point in gearing up when you are leveling so fast anyway. At 60 I will also be able to grant 90 levels to new characters if I wan’t so I may end up replacing two of the mages with other classes like a Druid and Warlock.

Another boring post but I don’t really have much better to do with Tuesday night being WoW maintenance. I will probably end up hosting some videos of my multibox group once my new laptop arrives which should handle fraps a lot better than my current shitbox.
