Weenie Dog Races!

One of the highlights of Picnic Day is the Doxie Derby. The gym gets packed and people place bets on the winner. Good times had by all.

Hahaha wow.

They actually have Wiis on sale here.

Touchdown Sacramento!

Haven't been to this airport in 2.. 3 years? Miss the excitement of arriving here. Good to be back for a bit.

Off To Davis.

Time for Picnic Day'08. Hooray for weiner dog races!

One Thing I'll Miss...

Going out to Ichiza with friends. It's a great little Japanese pub with a variety of tasty vittles at very reasonable prices. I've not found anything close to a replacement locally, and so far I've not found a replacement in the whole of SoCal. I probably never will, as even friends who've lived there for years say there is nothing like Ichiza.

Damnit.

Two Week Notice Given

I turned in my resignation notice to the company I've worked at for the last 5 years.
Feels real odd. This is the first time I've willingly quit a job in ages. Will also probably put a kink in my raiding life for a while.

So I found this on the official WoW boards..

I don't know if this works or not, or how powerful of a video card you need so your frame rate doesn't drop to a crawl. Give it a shot.

1. Load WoW
2. Open up macros
3. Make this macro...

/console groundEffectDensity 256
/console groundEffectDist 140
/console detailDoodadAlpha 100
/console horizonfarclip 2112
/console farclip 777
/console characterAmbient
/console smallcull 0
/console skycloudlod 3

4. Run macro
5. Close WoW
6. Open WoW, go to somewhere like Terrokar forest (or another nice zone) and get ready to go "oooooooooooooooooooh!"

What does this do?!

- The vegetation can be seen from miles away (grass flowers etc) plus there seems to be FAR more of it.
- The "bloom" effect seems to be more vivid.
- The view distance is greatly increased.
- Everything seems to be more sharp and crisp.
- The weather effects appear to be more intense.

Example:
Before - http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/7130/12714657ae2.jpg
After - http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/2902/92707134gs2.jpg

*you need a really good video card for this*


To bring it back to the old way, macro this.

/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console horizonfarclip 1305
/console farclip 177
/console characterAmbient 1
/console smallcull 1
/console skycloudlod 1
/console detailDoodadAlpha 1

Super Kawaii Cthulhu-Chan!

A coworker did this to my Cthulhu one day while training with me. ^_____^v

First Real Post; A Spamhammering of Macros

Yes these are all probably macros that can be seen off wowwiki.com but I'm pasting my favorites here:

These two condense six of my most used Hunter Aspects into two easy to use macro buttons. First macro is Pack on right click, Beast on middle click, and Cheetah on left click.
Second macro is Viper on right click, Monkey on middle click, and Hawk on left click.

MACRO 16777236 "AotC/AotB/AotP" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/cast [button:2] Aspect of the Pack; [button:3] Aspect of the Beast; Aspect of the Cheetah
END
MACRO 16777234 "AotH/AotM/AotV" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/cast [button:2] Aspect of the Viper; [button:3] Aspect of the Monkey; Aspect of the Hawk
END

I call this macro "Max DPS" as it triggers my DPS trinket, and Bestial Wrath. It used to also trigger Rapid Fire but with my current weapon it was causing auto-shot clipping, so I dropped it from the macro. It's not to hard to add it back by putting /cast Rapid Fire into the macro:

MACRO 16777231 "AP Trink" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/use Bloodlust Brooch
/stopcasting
/cast Bestial Wrath
/stopcasting
/cast Auto Shot
END

Easy-Peasy Curator Macro. Click the button, target the flare, burn down. Lather rinse repeat:

MACRO 16777232 "AstralFlare" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/target astral flare
/petattack
/cast Auto Shot
END

Easy-Peasy Illhoof Macro. Click the button, burn down what it targets. Lather rinse repeat:

MACRO 16777238 "Illhoof" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/cleartarget
/target Demon Chains
/stopmacro [nodead, harm]
/target Kil'rek
/stopmacro [nodead, harm]
/target Terestian Illhoof
END

This one I use in Gruul's Lair if I'm backup tank on Kiggler. It keeps Scorpid Sting on Maulgar, which should help the tank avoid some damage from blows. I'm not sure if it works or not because I've never had a tank tell me "hey that was a great idea Mingo!" Use at your own risk:

MACRO 16777237 "Scorpid" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/target High King Maulgar
/cast Scorpid Sting
/stopcasting
/target Kiggler the Crazed
/cast Auto Shot
END

The infamous "1 Butan Win" macro for Beast Master hunters. Keeps a constant rotation between Auto Shot and Steady Shot, weaving Kill Command when it triggers:

MACRO 16777228 "Steady Shot" Ability_Hunter_MasterMarksman
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()
END

And this one? Well hey I'm on a roleplay server (Cenarion Circle) and people continually asked me how the Wrathfire Hand Cannon worked. So, I made a macro to tell them!

MACRO 16777227 "Wrathfire" Ability_Creature_Cursed_04
/s The exhaust gas from the main barrel is actually rerouted to the other four tubes to act as a both a muzzle break to increase long range accuracy, and to keep the barrel cool during extended periods of rapid fire.
/e beams
END

So there ya have it. Some of my favorite hunter macros.

160,000 miles.

I passed this at least 3 months ago. Woo.
