Isaiah's Tech

Second, i should actually be playing World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King right now, but after almost 2 years of playing World of Warcraft and the Burning Crusade, i decided to quit.  Maybe it's just a break, but as of right now, it looks like my 3 level 70's [Priest, Druid, Hunter] and my 1 level 67 [Warlock] are officially retired, until i get a job that is. Living with just my mom in the house and me having no job, money can't be spent monthly on that game.  Although, those 2 years were amazing, playing about 7-9 hours everyday, even on school nights [4 p.m. - 1 a.m.].  Playing about 18 hours during summer when there was no school (Thank god, for my laptop which is where i did all my MSN'ing and facebook'ing, right beside my desktop running WoW). In class today, i actually calculated how much money i've spent on WoW.  That was deinitely a ridiculous amount. Although i quit, i still keep up to date on any news regarding WoW.

Third, I'm really excited for the release of Starcraft 2, and can't wait for Blizzard to announce when the official release date will be.  But, i am saddened to see that the 3 races' [Protoss, Terran, Zerg] campaign modes will be split up into 3 separate games. But, in the original Starcraft it's not like i played campaign mode anyway, so i don't really know if it matters to me that much.  I played Starcraft on and off for a good 5 years, and occasionally, i still play once in a while just for some UMS (Use Map Settings). Before my account was deleted, due to that 3-month inactivity deletion thingy or whatever, my account had a record of 121-9. I frequently played on zero clutter maps, but i also mixed it up with some BGH (Big Game Hunter) games.

So, it's almost Christmas, i'm hoping to get a PS3 for Christmas.  I can finally run myself some LittleBigPlanet, and i'm also excited for the Playstation Home Beta, i'll put some links below on that info. I see Playstation Home Beta having a great potential depending on how the makers go about making that world.

Anyways, more on track with some tech news. Microsoft Windows will release it's first Beta for Windows 7 on January 13, 2009. Activision announced a couple of new games today: a new Tony Hawk game, Guitar Hero 5, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Call of Duty 6).  The new Call of Duty game is the one that i'm actually most excited for.
