Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 3/4 pound lean ground beef

Days Since I Quit WoW

The days since I quit playing WoW have gone by very quickly. Gone are the hours of playing arenas undergeared and outmatched, struggling against 12-year-olds with names like Xdemonbladex. I once was the highest combined-ratings priest in the United States. Now, with below-average gear, I couldn't attain an 1800 rating playing a Warrior. Nothing can express my joy of not having to deal with that anymore.

Success!

I'd like to thank all my followers for their support. Though I just started last night, I'm proud to say that I already have 34 fine friends following my blog. This is a shout out for you guys.

League of Legends

If I wanted to play a horrible match-up between Nickelodeon commercials and rejected pilots and DotA, I would be on this piece of garbage all day every day. However, I value my free time too much to squander it on a bad DotA remake that requires absurd amounts of money and time to experience. All the time sinking of WoW with all the game quality of The Bible Online.

Also, each and every new hero introduced to the game absurdly breaks game balance. Thanks, Riot.

Void Rays

I am so sick of each and every pre-pubescent Starcraft II-bandwagon-jumping kid who masses void rays as soon as possible. I have no idea what Blizzard was thinking when they put them in the game. I guess the idea was a 'surgical strike' aircraft that could level a base in seconds, or overpower armies after the pathetically short charge timer of 5 seconds goes off. Oh, and not to mention that you can get them in only a few short minutes. Awesome bro
