Lack Of Updates & WoW EoE!
Heyaz everyone its been a while since theres been an update here my aplogies, also my aplogies for the lack of uploads latley RL has been pushing at me. So first I want to give you all an update of whats going on and to expect. Without going into detail RL is of course getting in the way without going into to much detail its cutting into my time a bit more the ussal and probley will for a while. This means I will be slowing down on updates and uploades hopefully not to the lack of uploads for a week but as most of you who have stuck with me thus far know it does occur.
So whats up on the ballot? Well I do have a WoW update and vblog for you all as you can see. Our guild went in and took down, again, Malygos. This time with me present so I could get the achivment and of course get you all the footage! So by all means take a look and enjoy it! There is another STO update on the horzion as well I do have footage of at least another rank so that vblog coming up soon is a good possiblity. And of course theres plenty more gamming/programming vblog footage to cover and go over for you all as well. Vblog's aside the LP department things have switched a bit, i've put off starting the new replacement for TFTD for a bit as I get a little more used to playing it, my aplogies to everyone whos waiting for that just hang in there another week or so longer and it will be up before you know it, hopefully you will all feel it was worth the wait!
As for the other LP's of course more MM9 is always on schedule, as most of you who saw the last LP's know I was having a bit of graphic glitches/issues with it running in Windows 7 (before I was running it in XP along with TFTD) if I can't get thoese issues more ironed out I may switch back to running it on XP, you wont notice much of a change except less of me complaing about it heh. And of course Freelancer LP is well overdue now and I totaly aplogize because well i've been picky latley. I'll be sure to rectify that asap and getting it up. There also is another new LP on the horizon another test out for you all, this will be a good one, its the first DOS LP for you all. All i'll tell you for now is it's a stragety/RPG game and hopefully you will all enjoy it!
For all other LP's just a quick update, Chrono Cross and Rainbow Six remain on suspended, and of course Company Of Heros is Discountinued. For thoes of you wondering what that all means, it means based on your views and response Chrono Cross and Rainbow Six LP's are not continuing on a regular basis, however I still have the saves and such of where we left off so I can also continue it if desire is there latter. Company Of Heros was suspended but with the loss of my save data in a bad backup it is now discontinued so theres no hope of resuming it. Again I base the response from your overall viewing trends just to give you an example if I release a new LP and I put up 4 parts. If the 1st part gets 200 views, the 2nd gets about 78, the 3rd about 89 and the 4th gets 175. Then from that I can tell the LP is popular enough and theres intrest enough in it to continue. Even thou the views level off bewteen the two from the 1st and 4th I can see theres a following and intrest in the LP.
Just a little insight on how I make my decisions, anyway thats all I have for you right now hopefully i'll have another update for you all, i'm hoping Tuesday. Untill next time!

WoW Obsidan Sanctum & Addon Special Part 7 & 8!
Greets once again to everyone, its been a little bit I know, RL is doing its thing but I have defintly not been idle for you guys, oh no and not even a holiday can slow this man down LOL! Seriously thou, first good news for the LP fans, all problems with TFTD has been worked out and you can expect new footage from that LP around the end of the week! I'll spare you the details of what I did (you dont want to know LMAO) but needless to say its done. But lets get to the main event here, RAID VIDS!! Yes as promissed there here!!!
(Addon 7)
First up is Obsidan Sanctum or OS as its commonly refered to, you can find this lovely 10-man (normal)/25-man (Heroric) instance in Dragonblight directly under the Wyrmrest temple. This was our first major 10 man our fairly new casual raiding guild got to dive into it. Witch is good for a few reasons, its not to complicated its basicly a huge giant cave with a horseshoe shaped rise around the middle area where the main boss is. Pretty straight forward. A good starting Raid for Northrend esppicaly for under-geared just learning causal raiding guild ;)
(Addon 8)
So how did we do, take a look at the vid for yourself and see :) keep in mind you will notice theres some resoultion changes, none of this footage thats complied here happend in just one day (as most all raids go!) so this was inbetween my operating system change. I also have here the next two parts of the addon special. Definlty a big deal here esppicaly in part 7, as it covers Auctioneer and now were starting to get to the lower addons I use, you may noticed through-out these addon videos I have some mods changing (like my minimap for example) this is important with 3.2 probley only a month or so away i'm trying to get rid of the oldest UI mods that I can, so i'll keep you updated to that.
Also my list for my UI will be updated here very soon as I finsh filtering through addons with more specific links and of course EVERYTHING thats been covered in the addon videos thus far even if there not on that list right now. (Woot I just made more work for myself LOL) Lastly I want to say HEY to all my fellow guild mates checking out my blog again or for the first time, and encoruge anyone curious about our guild theres a wonderfull link to the guild website just to your right there. And finnaly my wonderfull Paladin alt has made it to level 20 (WOOT!) and i've added a new armory link for her to the right as well.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and esppicaly your votes on this new layout, there is still some time to cast your vote so please do so. Dont forget to comment and of course subscribe here or my youtube channel (BOTH :P) And definlty more to come as I begin my NAX series of videos, so you dont want to miss that, and of course the TFTD LP, and more addon special parts, so much more to come as always. Leaving you all here with a great beatuy shot of our guild in NAX chilling for a moment as I feel a little heavy from a dino behind me...hmmm LOL. Enjoy! Till next time!

Addon Special Part 4 & WoW Level 76-77 Part 1 & 2!!
Well its a bit slow in coming and although I have no where near as much as I was hoping I still have something for you all! First its important to note that we have gotten a new hard drive and I have re-done or re-installed our OS, in fact were using the Windows 7 RC witch is avalible for free from microsoft to try out from there site, there giving it out for testing/evaluation reasons untill the end of this month (June 30th) so if you curious know your stuff or are using vista I seriously encoruge you to go check it out, you will be able to freely use it untill June 2010 altought starting March 2010 it will begin to reboot after every 2 hours of use, still thats a long time of free use and it will be out in retail late this year so definlty check it out!!!
(Part 1)
So what does this mean for the vblog and LPs? Really some good things and some bumps, the TFTD LP is on hold untill i can get things setteled on our new os/setup i'm hoping to have it up and running soon (since i'm using the windows 95/98 edition theres some compatablity working i need to do) so it may be a week before anything new comes out there, as for WoW footage no shortage there in fact starting with Part 5 of the addon special when it comes up you will acutall see in INCREASE in resoultion size as i'm able to run my desktop and wow at much higher res with no decrease in fps or response (Windows 7 RC is VERY NICE!!!) So, but on to what we got here!
(Part 2)
So we have part 4 of the addon special that I was unable to encoded properly early this week, and we have the first two parts of the level 76-77 up as well. I ran out of time due to some guild raid runs last night and didnt get all of 76-77 parts done something i hope to finsh tonight, if thats so you can expect another update pretty quickly this weekend! As for more addon parts I wouldnt expect thoese any ealier then monday but who knows! I still have a lot of system side stuff to reinstall and fix and of course setting up compatbality and things for my LP recodring of TFTD (so dont fret just a bit of a break!)
Once again in my rush I frogot to place a beautey shot *whimpers* and yes I am 80 and am starting raids and stuff and have wonderfull footage! So you can expect that all up as we get to it, so much much more still coming, stay with us, keep the comments up and spread the word! Thanks all!

WoW Level 74-75, Next VBlog WoW Special Poll
Greets once more to everyone out there, quickshot14 back with more WoW goodness! As promissed my vblog post of my main going from level 74-75 is now up and viewable, a whopping 5 parts! So defintly dont miss out on it. Also again a reminder i'm looking for your feedback on what you want the next VBlog WoW Special to be, like the shaman special. Theres three choices avalible, do you want to see about each of my addons, including features, where to grab it, etc. Or would you like to here about my auction house stratgies, tips, and overall ideas on making gold. And last but not least would you like to see a special about the warrior class from level 10-20 just like the shaman special? So what would you like to see, you got till May 21st to make your vote, so please do so!
(Part 2)
Back to the vblog, we are now in Dragonblight questing out and leveling up. Theres many things in Dragonblight but many will find its a lot more sequencenced in its quests, this is a good thing as it makes it more intresting reading the story that is engraved into it. Theres also much more phasing here then we have seen previously as well. Though i have all the major flight paths open and already grabed some quests when I start, pretty much everyone will be starting in stars reach or/and wintergarde keep. Weather you started in Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra this is your next stop as it is a level 71-74 zone. There is some great quests here, as well as a very fun dragon repeatable quest and also an easy tuskar repeatble quest as well.
(Part 3)
As you will see even though I went as fast as I could from quests via the clips there was some I just had to capture all of it, because of that and the amount of questing I did to reach level 75 theres a huge amount of parts here! A total of 5 parts! So be sure to look over them and also included in part 5 is more info about the poll thats up for the next vblog special. For you LP fans as well dont fret I didnt get to CoH this week as planned but there will be some LP posts up next week so be on the look for it. I'm getting excited about my main as shes only 5 levels from 80 and just 2 from being able to get cold weather flying!
(Part 4)
Of course a you have probley seen in my vblogs as much as i'm holding onto the gold I will need i'm very short! I'm not quite half-way but very close, as I need a total of 6k gold to learn both flying its self (costs 5k/witch can be learned at 70) and then of course cold weather flying (costs 1k) And unforunlty my auctions seem to be on a downward dip once again. Witch does happen, it goes up and down, i'm even trying my luck on the netural auction house for somethings and have had mixed results so far, but well see what I can do. Honeslty the most gold 've been making is from running quests and selling the non-used soul bound items! Most quests with this method you can make i'd say an average of 10 gold.
(Part 5)
Witch granted isnt a huge amount but if you add how many quests it takes to get a level at these levels if you do just 50 quests well thats 500 gold easy. So thats encoruging and not to bad and as I get back to major levling and questing of course it should add up quick. And hopefully, hopefully by level 77 I will be able to get my flying skill. After reaching level 75 I have spent some time working on some tuskar rep, for some great rewards including some recipes and an awsome epic fishing poll. Still a long way to getting that but doing the quests and evrything else has manged to give me nearly 25% on my next level, including the dragonblight daily witch I recommend eveyrone do cause its easy, fun and will easily get you the simple re-quest achivement if you dont have it. So thats all for this post, next VBlog post will be the results of the poll and of course moving upward and on so stay tuned untill next time, make sure to subscribe, post your comments and heres a beatifull shot of me flying from Wyrmrest Temple. Thanks all!

WoW Level 73-74, More Comin!
Greets once again all, back here again with much more for you, first there should be two blog posts coming up this week for WoW. First today, and then Wensday as I have made it upto level 75, so make sure you stick around for that! But up first is level 73 to 74. This vblog is quite as long as the others, I had massive XP from my instance runs that I did before, so thats why it didnt take long to do this. Also to be sure of time and space I kept the clips short and to the point, so this vblog can and probley will go pretty quick for all of you.
(Part 2)
Important things to note here is first, this is the last of Howling Fjord, after I hate 74 I decide it was best to move on and worry about the achivement for quests latter. Reason I did this is Dragonblight is next (and you will be going there no matter witch end of Northrend you started in) and its a level 71-74 zone and I wanted to make sure to max me XP potentional there as much as possible as Dragonblight has a ton of quests to do as well as its probley the first real area you going to notice phasing.
(Part 3)
Other things to really note, is that I have added some new addons that you may notice in here, i dont have it up on my list just yet but i'll try to have it on that addon list by wensday, i'm also going to start a poll for a special vblog, I basicly would like all your input on what it should be about, choices are, addons, auction tips/tricks, and finnaly a warrior class special (like the shaman one). So please let me know what you'd like to see i'll be sure to mention it in detail in the next vblog so the poll is going to be up for quite a while. Thats all for now, so stayed tune, remebr you can subscribe here on my blog to follow it or of course youtube as well, upto 115 subscribers since last post and thats just awsome! Heres a wonderfull shot of my DK flying, untill next time everyone!

A long time comin.....DING 70!
Greets everyone, back again finaly after fighting with youtube/my uploading I have all three parts of my first step in northrend and my journey from level 68 to 70! Woot finnaly 70, well okay i'm acutally 71 already but still ;P For thoese of you just starting in northrend or getting ready to goto northrend I hope these vblogs help give you some great insight into it. I love northrend its ben a blast to play so far and theres defintly no shortage of quests for you to do let alone of course the instances. On another note there will be no level 70-71 video as I took a bit of break from recoding so my aplogies on that.
(Part 2)
However I will continue recording as soon as possible, also my shaman is very close to 20 now so i'll try to have her level 10-20 videos up very soon, i've kind of taken a break from WoW but I havnt played any MM9 yet....not quite yet mm9 fans but soon ;P Instead i'm playing avery old game with some enhancments, yes its on the righ hand side and no your not seeing things i'm playing X-Com again (yes the orignal for now)! Also you may have noticed I have all my toons up on the right hand side, minus my paladin as she hasnt hit level 10+ just yet. But i'm hoping to play more of her soon as well. So as ussal the quickshot is game hoping, i know your all used to it by now lol.
(Part 3)
As for showing X-Com videos I dont know its been done quite a bit on youtube already so i'm not sure I will but if anyway like to see it by all means throw a comment up and let me know! Also my gear is ever changing on my main so defintly keep an eye on that with the links to my toons, more coming of course as quickly as I can, as long as youtube and my upload get along i'll get the videos out to you all very quickly. Untill then heres a beauty shot of Shattrath City in outland.
