Did You See It?!

You missed it! It was great and you missed it! I can’t believe you missed it. Missed what? Well, I have a new domain! See? You didn’t even notice. Now instead of a silly sub-domain, I have a full domain dedicated to my lazy-ness and rants! It’s great, and you missed it. Wait until next week when everyone misses something else fantastic, it’ll be great, and don’t worry. I’ll be sure to tell everyone about it!

The Man Your Man Could Viral Market Like

If you’ve been following anything Old Spice-related, you’ve noticed today a lot of videos popping up that are video-replies to tweets and YouTube and Facebook comments and every single one of them are pure gold…if gold was not replaced by Old Spice as a high-value trading commodity. Old Spice and The Old Spice Guy AKA Isaiah Mustafa (AKA the guy I wish I could be) have won my heart forever, and infinite win of the internet. This is viral marketing done with perfection, and for it, I thank you with all my lazy heart.

The only question though, is would Old Spice cure my laziness or would it just turn me into a very manly lazy-man sitting in front of a computer desk made entirely of 20-sided dice?

If only…if only.

Crazy Busy and a Happy 4th of July

So, as you may have noticed I’ve been a tad busy. “On what?” you might ask. Well, as you may or may not know, I’m design websites and am actually looking to get into it as a career, so for the last month or so I’ve been buried inside Dreamweaver and Photoshop working with Mr. “blue” Roysher and the Gaming World Entertainment Network crew on their website, but (way) earlier this morning at around 4am it all paid off as the site finally launched. So that’s been my big project for the last month, which means I’m now more free to get back to blogging and gaming.

Speaking of which, APB released and much to my dismay I still can’t get a decent FPS-count from it, but I’ve been assured it’s being worked on by the lazy developers, regardless, I’ve been having a blast with my Enforcer clan, Fist of the Empire [FoE] and can’t wait to see what Realtime Worlds rolls out for the game next (aside from major fixes).

Anyway, that’s what’s been going on, and tomorrow is Independence day, so for all you Americans, have a happy 4th of July, and even if you’re not American, have a good day regardless!

End of the Week Notes, WWDC Has Ended

That’s right, today is the final day of Apple’s Wordlwide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco and it seems to have a pretty big hype, especially for the new (but not new) iPhone 4 which will bring some pretty cool features, like a 720p HD video recorder and a front-facing camera. I wish I could get one, but I guess I don’t have enough friends to warrant buying one. There were some other things that might interest everyone, but chances are you’ve already read up on it so we’ll leave it at that. you can tell I’m not a big apple guy.

On the gaming side, this past Thursday was to be the the beginning of the ‘Key to the City’ event for everyone who pre-ordered All Points Bulletin, but it seems that has been put on hold for…actually I don’t really know.

We’ve worked tirelessly to bring the service online, installing and configuring a massive amount of new hardware in our data-centres, to help meet the high demand and bring you the best experience we can. As we’re sure you’ll appreciate, this is a huge undertaking and unfortunately on this occasion, we’ve hit a number of installation delays.

Oh, okay, I guess that makes sense. So while I’m waiting for Saturday to roll around, the War in Kryta in Guild Wars is still raging on with new quests and bounties being given out, and there’s some more info on GW2 that I’ll go into more detail about in a later post!

Have a fun weekend, everyone!

P.S. I’m going to PAX Prime this September. Which is cool I guess.

Mid-Week Note, “Happy Birthday!” All Around

So, yesterday was my brother’s, Blue(as you might know him by from those two Lazy MMO Reviews), birthday and now today(actually, for almost a whole week now) I celebrate with millions of fans and players the 5th anniversary of Guild Wars. Oh, how far both have come in their short time in this world, it brings a tear to my eye. But while I celebrate the continuation of both these things, I also celebrate the passing of a beloved media, the floppy disk. I’ve not much to say there other than, “Finally!”

Back to my first, true, MMO love, Arena Net, to help celebrate Guild Wars’ 5th, yesterday opened the gates to their new blog to discuss some Guild Wars 2, but I’ll talk more about that in my later post! For now, I play GW until the day it dies, no matter how much I may pitch a fit over a skill update. There will never be another like it.

Until Guild Wars 2.
