Aqua Laguna
Hello there, sorry it's been a few days since my update, I've had so much on my mind and nothing to do, so I've been swamped.
Almost as swamped as literally everything outside. Seriously, we just had the wettest July on record. July is a summer month, not a damn spring month. It should be filled with sun, screaming children, and melanoma, not clouds EVERY day that I want to do something, and sunshine that lasts for literally 2 hours a week. That's just stupid. It's like mother nature is going through an extra long cycle, and her PMS is lasting our entire summer. I remember the end of June everyone was saying " Don't worry, this rain will end in like a week, and then it'll a hot and dry scorcher of a summer". I have yet to get scorched, most of the time I just get soaked, and not at a pool either. Also the fact that I jump in a pool in the middle of July and it's ice-cold and the wind is blowing and there's no sun is wrong. I like my pools sun heated, thank you. And every time I plan to go to the beach it's pouring, or I have to be at the doctors. Luckily it rains anyway so I don't feel as bad. I have yet to see sand this summer, I'm not even sure I remember what it feels like.
Last friday even, I was supposed to be at Six Flags for the entire day. They even said it was going to be a bit cloudy, but mostly hot and humid. It poured buckets, lots of buckets. So many buckets they were almost pails, that's how many buckets of rain it poured. So instead we drove to Fox Woods so we could do something fun, and 2 hours later it stops raining, and is just cloudy. So yeah, Rain ruined my Six Flags day. So I'm making an official comment to Mother Nature. Stop it, seriously, enough of your PMS raining down on us. We want Sun. Bring us Sun.
Thank you.

Warcraft: Curse of the Casual Gamers
So, as you might have heard blizzard is green-lighting the creation of a Warcraft movie done by Sam Raimi. That's right a Warcraft movie, NOT a World of Warcraft movie. Yet the media and the casuals do not seem to get this? The press release that blizzard did announcing the movie they made it clear it was a WARCRAFT movie, not a World of Warcraft. What's the difference? A lot, is the difference. World of Warcraft is based off the Warcraft series and uses the storylines and the lore from the series to craft a vast world for people to play in and create THEIR OWN STORIES. A World of Warcraft movie would make no sense, since the plot of World of Warcraft is that you control a person in the world. You can't do that in a movie (As of yet. Technology etc..) so it would have to be based off some past storylines.
Blizzard fans who've played the old Warcraft and Starcraft games know this. Hell, most of us want it to be basically the movie version of Warcraft III, since theres so much action and war in it that it's storyline is equal to the lord of the rings books, in one package. Sure fans might rage on me for that (No clue why, I love Lord of the Rings) but it's true. Warcraft 3 covers an entire world being invaded by the Burning Legion (Army of other-worldly demons), an undead scourge, like 3 of the main human kingdoms falling, Arthas, Thrall, bunches of awesome. The plots of the first 2 warcraft games set up for 3, but were pretty lacking. 2 was alright though, since it covered the destruction of the orcish homeland, so that was fine.
But plainly, I'm just saying that people need to get facts straight. I like Blizzard, but since World of Warcraft became a well known phenomenon it seems like that's ALL they're known for. Hell, a friend I know who atleast has played Warcraft 3 asked me yesterday what Starcraft was. How do you not know what Starcraft is? It's f-cking Starcraft. It was released OVER 10 years ago and is still claimed to be the best real time strategy game. Which I agree with.
Just makes me sad how a good company is only known for one game now, since it became popular with people who don't really play games. Casuals. And I don't even dislike casuals, it's just the fact that you say Warcraft in a room and EVERYONE think's you're talking bout the World.
Depressing.
