That is right i have the server up and running and it seems to run very smooth. if enough people are interested in playing i will end up purchasing a dedicated server to run it off of, but for now its running off my hp server at home.
if you are interested in joining the server the web adress to create an account is nerdgasm.dyndns-server.com
you need a 1.12.1 client to play on the server it is around 5gigs to download if you dont have one already. 1.12.1 Torrent download
when you have the client change your realm.wtf file to
nerdgasm.dyndns-server.com
Im sure everyone remembers this good old screen =) My plans have changed for the private server i am creating, it will be a pre bc server patched to 1.12.1. luckily i found a client i could download patched to that version.
The first day just consisted of me downloading the client and sifting through different emulators to run the server with. This will be my fourth server ive made, and my first pre-bc server. right now i am working with a mangosZero server to see if its the one i want to use, its looking good so far, il post another update on how things are going along with the starcraft post.
Now 69.99

I am currently using a Raser Death adder that I bought over 4 years ago, Razer makes amazing mice that last. I will probably upgrade to a Naga when i look to get a new mouse.
World of Warcraft So the other day i decided to cancel my World of Warcraft accountfor a combination of reasons, ive lost interest in playing and don't look forward to logging in anymore and the upcoming patch doesnt appeal to me since i stopped raiding "hardcore". even though im a blizzard fan and have always enjoyed playing their games i just cant justify paying a monthly fee for it anymore. with that said i have been considering running a private server that would have custom quests and bosses, ive ran a couple private servers before but never really made them public (only to friends) if you would be interested in this let me know, it might give me a bit more incentive to make one, it will be a 4.1 server of course.
Its that time again boys and girls, you guessed it, its Phat Loot Friday!

Not a whole lot of news on Diablo 3 this week but here is Bashiok answering some questions about spirits, auras, and shouts.
Does spirit naturally deplete after not being used for some time? Bashiok: No. Spirit is static. It doesn’t regenerate, and it doesn’t degenerate. Punching demons and using melee skills builds Spirit, and most monk skills spend it.
Is it true the Monk’s auras function more like the Barbarian‘s war cries now? Bashiok:The barbarian shouts are powerful, limited duration buffs that you must re-cast once they wear off. Monk auras are very similar. [edit - corrected monk aura mechanic description to contain factual information]
Will the UI allow for keeping track of which combo you’re on? His combo skills are really exciting but I’m worried it’ll become too much of a chore playing the entire game counting out my attacks in sequences of 3. It would be unfortunate to unleash a 2nd tier hundred hand attack at range expecting to dash forward because you miscounted. Bashiok: We don’t want tracking of combo stages to be so important that there needs to be a UI element to keep track. It should be that if you’re up on your game you’re tracking combo stages and it helps you get a slight edge, but if not you’re kicking ass anyway and will probably do fine. Also, we have made changes to skills so they’re consistent; such as making all stages capable of a dash. We don’t want the situation you’ve described to be an issue.
Do charges expire, or can I hold onto my level 3 charge until I want to unleash it? Bashiok: It will reset after a time, but it’s a good amount of time.
I think what Bashiok means is that if the first part of 100Fists was a dash, then the second and third parts would also include a dash. Bashiok: Right. The final stage on combo skills is still usually the powerful topper. I was specifically referring to a movement component not being tied to a specific stage of a combo skill (if it exists). There is some spreading out of mechanics to ensure really important pieces like movement and damage mitigation can’t be ‘missed’ because you counted wrong. But doing damage is doing damage, for the most part, so big combo finishers still very much exist on the third stage.
What about shouts and armors? Bashiok: The Diablo III barbarian has only ever had one true shout, and a couple others which have similar limited duration buffs. But, multiply that by 5 for runes and we have 15 shouts, compared to Diablo II’s ... six? I think.
Granted every rune doesn’t change the mechanic of the shout, but most do. We’ve covered most if not all the Diablo II Warcry tree shout skills through rune effects.
Im planning to add a bunch of new content to the wednsday warp in the near future, so sit tight, for now im going to keep it to what it is but get ready because the future holds some awesome stuff. =)
Replay of the week
This is truely and epic game that needs to be watched! yes it is long but it is worth it!

Custom Map of the week
Sqaudren Tower Defense
This game is currently featured on the front page of the custom maps, and it is pretty amazing. it is essentially a tower defense, pick a builder, gain income, send units, dont let your base die. here is a video review.
Im not a big fan of rap but there are some artist i can listen to especially when they rap about stuff that is part of who i am. I and many others that were born in the late 80's grew up with mc chris on our tv when we were in jr high even if you didnt know it! mc chris voice acted and helped produce many of the original shows back when Adult swim started. many favorites like..
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Sealab 2021
he has been in a few other cartoons on adult swim but these are the main ones that come to mind when you think of mc chris. The mc is also a very charity driven person always selling neat nerdy things to raise money for cystic fibrosis. currently he has turned his attention to appeasing a dream he has of having an mc chris cartoon, and if anyone deserves it he does! he has almost reached his first goal of 55,000 dollars for the first part of the cartoon. If you are at all interested in helping the mc out you can Click Here check his website out and lend him some support! to end this post im gonig to post some of music, enjoy! =)
Before i get this post started i would like to say thanks for the support of everyone! i hit over 100 followers last night, and i couldnt be more excited. as my follower base continues to grow i plan to offer better prizes in Phat loot Friday so promote me however you can =). Serious Blue Posts

Facepalm Blue Posts
This section is dedicated to posts blues have made or responded to that make me want to facepalm.
"Hello, I make this thread in hopes to get some replies of people who are having a similar issue.
Whats been happening lately is so GM's from Blizzard with names like ([Game Master] Blízzard) they keep whiserping me saying problems with my account... and this one GM said that my account was in compromised and I need to viisit this website to asure it's safety... so I did this right cos I've played WoW for like 3-4 years now and I really really don't wanna lose the work I put into this character and others.
So I go on this website and enter my details, and I whisperd the GM saying thanks.... and I felt pretty glad that my acciunt was secure again, but yet I still get more whisperes from GM's
they keep whispering me offering me free game-time if I visit this website and they have similar names like Blizzardy or Billzárd or something... point is they whisper me again saying my account is in compromised and it's very annoying.
I've entered my details twice now to get them to stop and they still whisper me every few days..
Is this some new service that Blizzard are trying to provide cos I'm finding it VERY annoying... also is their a way to stop it?"

Specs:
"Wednesday, June 8, is World IPv6 Day, a day when companies and individuals around the world will be working to test their IPv6 support. Blizzard is getting involved, and so can you!
Beginning on June 8, players on the below realms will be able to connect to the game using IPv6. This isn’t a straightforward task and – while not extremely difficult – does involve research to ensure each component of your internet connection supports IPv6, as well as editing a game file with a text editor. While we’d love to have everyone participate, we don’t recommend taking part unless you’re already comfortable with technical aspects of your computer hardware, software, and World of Warcraft. If you aren’t comfortable tackling the task, or run into a snag while trying, don’t worry, we’ll get plenty of testing and you have our thanks for just making yourself more aware of IPv6.
*Contains spoilers*
This has to be the most ass backwards pro game i have seen in a while. after idra goes 2-0 against mc he plays mma and drops the ball completely by leaving the game while hes winning O,o lol not to mention mma kills his own command center.
