I know..

Date: Fri, Sep 19, 2008

I know you guys have missed my Warcraft updates. Here is my latest comment on Blizzards customer service survey.

I hate Blizzard. I have gone from loving your company to hating your guts more than you will ever know. All I ask in a company is a professional mannerism. It has been five days since my account has been hacked. I have no idea if anyone is working on it. I have no way to tell if anyone is doing anything about it. I have nobody to call. I am just floating in space hoping that someone gives a fuck. Well maybe Warhammer cares more about its customers than Warcraft. I guess instead of buying Wrath of the Litch King I should buy a new game and see if the customer service is any better. I feel this way because you have no system in place to help your customers in the event of their accounts being compromised.

In essence my MAIN problem is not the time it is taking to fix this or the fact I got hacked and I think it is their fault. My MAIN problem with BLIZZARD and WORLD OF WARCRAFT is that there is no customer service here. I can not call anyone. I can not see the status of my issue. I have no fucking idea if anyone is working on it or if they just forgot all about me and do not give a fuck. There really has to be a better system. Cocksucker.

Peace out and have fun this weekend.

Bloggering Can Be Good

Date: Fri, Sep 19, 2008

It is nice to know some people are trustworthy without even thinking about it. With the whole aftermath of the recent lending scandal I thought it might be nice to highlight one of the good transactions. Irongirl was looking to trade some money on Pokerstars for Full Tilt. We had been exchanging blog comments back and forth but had not connected yet. So I just shipped her the cash on Stars last night fully expecting there to be no problems. I would say we are casual friends. I did meet her at one of the Blogger events and she is correct that I was staring at her boobies. I guess that alone makes us casual friends at least to me. Probably leering perv to her. We each have our own place in the Blogger world right? Anyway everything went off without a hitch. The funds were in my FT account within and hour and all was well.

Now I am not advocating trusting people with funds so much because there are plenty of people out there that will take advantage. I will say it is nice to know there are some good people out there.

As far as pokering goes I had a good night. I ended up taking first in a 3-table SNG and doubled up in LO8. The thing that is most important for people to realize with limit games is that you are not some special person who can earn more than everyone else. Your results will average out to 3-4BB/100 at best. That does not mean you will make 16 bucks a night per table. What that means is you will win two buyins then lose a buyin or two then win another one. It is a crazy process and losing is a big part of it.

Until Next Time Remember: Be Break Even Like Waffles.

Day Three of Exile

Date: Wed, Sep 17, 2008

Finally I am back in my WoW account. My guys are still off in la la land. I went in to check my account. The most import stuff IE My Gear is still intact. I did lose my Zaphod Mote Extractor which is my biggest money maker. I also lost all my gold and my primals. Sort of a funny aside I was stranded in Netherstorm because the guy sold or got rid of all of my regents for teleporting and I had no money to fly back to Shatt. Thankfully he left me my EPiC mount and I was able to fly back pretty fast.

I deleted the contents of my entire addon directory but funny enough when I logged into my Horde character I saw all the addons load up. Does anyone know how to remove every addon?

The funniest thing that got stolen from me was my Gnomes Shoes. He is sitting in town broke with no shoes. His little piggy toes must be cold. *cry*. Anyhow. I am in a better mood now that I can actually login. I really hope to get my gold and equipment back. Who knows what will happen though. My son the Alt-aholic has a ton of under level twenty characters also and I have no idea if any of them were robbed. I am not too concerned though.

For now I am not typing in the WoW password. I was unable to find any keyloggers or any way my password could be stolen except by brute force hack which seems somewhat unlikely. This is all very strange.

Played a little poker. Not a good night. Only ended down like fourty. The fucking ridiculous calls people make were incredible though. Hopefully I will be able to take advantage.

As for my post about hair yesterday if you take me too seriously you will become a hatah. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt. Ignore the man behind the curtain.

Do not miss the MOOKIE tonight. Two shots left for me to take out LJ. I am in firing range to do it tonight with a win. Peace out peeps.

Offensive

Date: Tue, Sep 16, 2008

So what is more offensive.

A. That Obama mentioned a lipsticked up Hoe Pig and everyone in America assumed it was Pallin. If I was her I would be mortified. I mean you mention lipstick on a pig and everyone jumps to her. Wow. That is a knock on the old esteem. I for one would totally fuck her lipstick or not.

-- OR --

B. Obama Waffles. I love the good ole boy explanation "Yall calm down we was jus havin some fun". I do like the fact that they did not care at all about being politically correct.

On a totally different subject. I find Women's Haircuts to be funny. I mean these foo foo places charge you guys five gazillion dollars to do your hair. I have a little tip for you all. WE DO NOT FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOUR HAIR. You could be bald with swastika tattoo's all over your head. As a matter of fact try it. You heard me. Go shave your head bald. Get those tats. Now go up to some guy. Where is he looking? YES! DING DING DING! You win! HE IS LOOKING AT YOUR TITS!!!! HIS EYES NEVER MAKE IT PAST YOUR NECK. So why the hell are you spending so much money on haircuts? To look good for yourself? PATHETIC! Get a man dammit!

Ok. That must have been rant backup syndrome. I really respect and honor women. No no no. My eyes are not staring at your tits. Noooo. Nah. Nope.

Hacked Day Two

Date: Tue, Sep 16, 2008

I may have to go back to playing poker.

I talked to an account manager yesterday and they said there is no voice line for compromised accounts. You can not call and talk to someone even if you want to. There also is no clear place to email for this issue. I was told two places to email about my compromised World of Warcraft account and have only received one email in response asking for additional information. Hopefully this will get things moving.

On a side note it is kind of funny that I have to deal with a support person named Nefearius or something. Probably some faggot dwarf butt fucking Warlock or something. I mean I enjoy the immersive aspect of Warcraft but when my account gets hacked I want to talk to a fucking person not some pimply faced geek hiding behind his GM account. Fucktards.

I was disappointed to be told it could take 2 weeks to a month or more to get things settled. We will have to see how quickly it really gets resolved. Meanwhile I have no access to my account and yet they continue to bill me. Yay! So I asked if I would be billed for the time I lost on my account and they said "sure why not, It is your own fault your account got compromised". They then said I downloaded a bad add-on that stole my data or something. Now I will not dispute this yet however I mentioned that I only download from Blizzard approved sites. I was then told that Blizzard does not approve any Add-on. I could have sworn there was a Blizzard page that had approved add-on's and where to download them. I can not find it right now though. However providing a whole way to modify the gaming system then saying its your own fault for using it is pretty fucked up.

So anyway I took some of the suggestions here. I ran three scanners against my entire system. McAffee which I have running all the time. Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware. Neither one picked up any generic loggers. I also checked running processes and did not see anything weird. I fired up WoW and saw no weird processes added to my list.

The final step I will be taking is to remove all Add-on's and reinstall them. You really will not be allowed to raid with people without a minimum of Ogre and Vent. So not having any add-on's is not an option. If Blizzard says it is then they are fucking crazy. I would like to see them get invited to raid Kara without Ogre. Fucking pull aggro off the tank all the time and see how fast you get booted.

I am not sure what else I should try to look for. I am pretty sure there is no keylogger. Not 100 percent but I used the top removal tools available and they found nothing. I also have a firewall that blocks incoming traffic. So I am left with brute force hack against the WoW servers or I fucked up somewhere and somehow gave out my password. All of this is very strange.

As someone who takes security seriously and knows a little about it I am baffled and a little obsessed to figure out what the fuck went wrong. Ah well. I will keep you posted and let you know if Blizzard does right by me. If not there is always Warhammer.

I iz Live Rly!

Date: Mon, Sep 15, 2008

I am alive. Sorry for the lack of posts just not very excited right now. Nothing bad has happened on the poker front. My WoW account however was hacked and raped. This has me really pissed off. It will probably be a week before it all gets straightened out. Right now it is closed and disabled. I have no idea how this happened. I am pretty careful with passwords. This one was fairly safe at 8 chars long 4-alphas 4-numerics. Kind of scary it was hacked. Not sure what happened. I went to bed at 2AM and I wake up at 9AM and find out that my characters had been transferred to another server. I quickly send a tech support email saying my account had been compromised. I received an automated note that my account was disabled like 30 minutes later. I am not sure if this is for a violation of terms of services or if Blizzard actually shut it down because I told them it was compromised.

This annoys me and all but it is just a game and my liability here is low. I am hoping this was just a brute force attack and not some sort of keylogger. If it is a keylogger then I could be in for a world more pain. The only other thing I can think of is some inside job at Blizzard.

So I guess the process will be getting my account back. Getting my characters moved back to their home realms. The last part will be getting all my high end gear back. It has probably be shipped off to other accounts and sold. The crew at blizzard says on the homepage it can take up to a week to get your equipment back. Without equipment you are basically useless so this hurts badly. Now if they were nice they would just give me a full S4 PVP set and make me a happy customer. Not likely though. So for a while I am screwed.

I really can not figure out how they got into my account. It is driving me nuts.

I did survive the Fantasy Football pool for another week. Wheeeeee! I think we lost about half the people in the pool. Poor Bayne. I told him who to pick but he did not listen. So a total of 14 people remain of the original 37. I think my pick for this week was easy so hopefully I will survive one more time.

Women Drugged, Sexually Assaulted in 'Prayer Sessions'.

Police said she attended numerous prayer sessions with the men at various hotels in Sydney between 2001 and 2005, during which she was blindfolded and sexually assaulted.

Police said she paid the men up to 70,000 Australian dollars (US$56,200) for the sessions.

Where do I find a chick like that? Damn. All the good ones are already taken.

Um good?

Candidates Call End to Truce With Attack Ads
“Things have changed in the last 26 years. But McCain hasn’t. He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail,” the narrator says. “After one president who was out of touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.”

The ad includes unflattering footage of McCain at a hearing in the early ’80s, wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit, interspersed with shots of a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubix Cube.

I am not all that political but I do hate old people so lets fuck with McCain. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not be able to send email? I mean cmon. It is one fucking click. I personally could never vote for someone who was not a nerd. Especially an old fuck computer illiterate bastard.

Experts: Giant Ike's Size Driving Massive Storm Surge
The National Hurricane Center is forecasting a 20-foot surge — a rapid rising of water inundating areas and moving inland — for a large swath of Texas and the Louisiana coasts. Above that, the center predicts "large and dangerous battering waves." Waves could be 50 feet tall, said hurricane center spokesman and meteorologist Dennis Feltgen.

Some computer models have waves topping out at 70 feet, but the waves usually break well before hitting shore, so the maximum usually doesn't get quite that high.

Cowabunga dude! Surfs up!!! In all seriousness good luck to JJ. I guess good luck would mean he would come back tomorrow and suddenly have beach front property? Hopefully everyone is safe in this nasty storm and the liberal media at Fox is lying to us like usual.

Shitty Night

Date: Fri, Sep 12, 2008

Kept getting fucked on the river and let it get to me. Got pissed off. Blew some cash. Nothing too bad. Down a couple hundred for the night. Extra motivation to win the bet? nah. lol. Jesus though when people keep calling you with two outs and you can not win a single hand for two full buyins what the fuck can you do? blah. Was fun calling Wankah a fucktard though. Probably not good for the poker game though.

The Bet Continues

Date: Thu, Sep 11, 2008

So I did what I needed to this week. Now I just have to take first next week. I finished up in 6th place. I probably could have gone deeper but I made a move to try and get control of the game. My blinds kept getting raised by Kiev and I finally decided to make a stand. I shoved my J8. I knew he had to call from a pot odd perspective. However I knew he had shit cards. So I raced late to basically get the chip lead for the table. I thought the move through and I went with it. The flop came QT to give me a gutter but I was not able to pull it out. The river gave Kiev a straight. SO I could have folded and maybe moved up maybe not.. but I tried to give myself a shot to take the whole thing down.

I actually did make a few huge laydowns which was good. I also sucked out pretty good with a flush draw and 55 vs JJ. Both were rivered flushes. Next week should be interesting to say the least.

Props to LJ

Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2008

Poker Enthusiast: I could play the mookie tonight
Poker Enthusiast: I could even chip dump:)
Poker Enthusiast: to bayne
SirFWALGMan: lol
SirFWALGMan: dump to LJ
SirFWALGMan: she is prettier

PE with friends like that who needs Chad. Seriously though he has been writing some funny shit. I mean him slam dunk? I met him. No way. Ok maybe when he was young and spry.

Have you been watching any of the ESPN coverage of the WSOP? I watched a little last night. I really liked the interview with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. He seems to have really made some great changes in his attitude. He went from thinking he was the unluckiest player ever to having more positive vibes. All it got him was a bracelet or something. I am sure he has his slip up moments and the mouth persona will always be lurking but I like the steps he has taken. I think I have make a lot of strides in that direction also. Could a bracelet be in my future? Only time will tell.

Tonight is a must win in my grudge match against LJ. I like giving her a lot of shit like everyone else does but she has the right mentality for MTT play. I have tried to adopt a more aggressive style myself. Sometimes you end up looking stupid or getting trapped but the aggression and chip gathering is what enables you to survive the inevitable lost coin flip. It is necessary. The trick I think is being able to turn it on and off at the right times. Anyway I give mad props to LJ and her success at MTTs. She really is a great player. It is cool to see she likes Sci-Fi too. Your really a nerd at heart right LJ?

I am hoping that I take a top three spot tonight to keep our bet alive for the final week. It will be really tough but I am going to put my best effort into it. Hope to see a lot of you there tonight so we can rack up the prize pool and make things interesting. Good luck.

Home Game

Date: Tue, Sep 9, 2008

Had some fun playing in a home game. This is probably my first home game since I learned to play break even poker. I followed the guidelines of my new book and failed. I actually made a profit. Do not worry though there is a second book in the works. What to do if you make a profit. It should be out about the time pigs fly or hell freezes over. I would assume the second one because the ole Pig-A-Polt is pretty damn close to completion.

The game was pretty fun. I had a good time drinking and playing. I also did the Bloggers proud by winning the first SNG and taking second in the next one. I gave back some of the profits in the next two games and the cash game. It is pretty hard to take a quarters cash game seriously.

I pretty much just played the SNG games as big as possible. If I flopped a good pair or a monster draw I tried to get it all in. Seemed to work pretty well. Of course busting the pregnant wife of the host may not guarantee a return invite. Oh well. Hopefully I will be doing a few more of these. I really like tossing the live chips but Foxwoods is a bit far to go on a regular basis.

Make sure you do not miss the Mookie. I have two shots to dethrone the Queen. At one point I had her down to a fourty buck lead but in true royal fashion she sucked out against aces ninety times and took down a Mookie. Now I have to have a win and a top five finish in the next two games in order to win.

Fun Times

Date: Fri, Sep 5, 2008

I hit up the Riverchasers last night. Went into the final table with a HUGE lead. Pulled a MAJOR bluff on AlCantHang. Laughed for half an hour as he called me a moron. Then I lost two coin flips and made a couple bad calls against Hoyazo and my night was over. Well worth the price of admission.

Played the 3/6 LO8 game with Bayne. Wow is that a fucking fish fest. I lost one buyin to some retard chasing a low and then rebought. Played aggravated poker for a little while. Trippled my buyin. Finally finished up 1/3 a buyin. Not bad given the bad start. I really am not sure what adjustments I need to make to beat that game. Being looser is wrong. However when five people limp every pot and call every raise I think raising my scooping hands is a good idea. Normally you want more people in with these hands but if people are not folding then you might as well get more money into the pot. Not really sure the key to these games. I just feel the juiciness.

Went 1 and 1 in HU NLHE. Had a guy call me a fucking big ass fish. So I wiped the floor with him. That was awesome. I pulled a Veneno on him and said "Golly I just play for the fun of it". He was not amused. Funniest thing though is he did not signup for a rematch. If someone is a fish you should always get a rematch.

Congratz to Evy for fifth place finish. As much crap as people give her about her game I think she continue to improve and is actually a decent player. Even if she is not all you faggots who say she sucks have never made a score that big so nah nahh nah nahhhhhhh nah. Keep it up girl.
