Well not much been happening overall since the last post, world keeps turning kinda thing.

Apart from going on a swingy as hell breakeven stretch for the last 5k hands in limit there’s not much on the poker front and I’ve just been grinding away at quests in WoW. I’ve just about finished Nagrand now, hit 66 last night and only really have about 2 more hours worth of questing there to go…mainly rescuing Corki for the third time, killing the Usurper, bringing peace between the Kurenai and the Ogres and starting on the Forge Camp questline.

On a fun note, I tried Durn last night when I hit 66 and got so owned. I’ve been killing the mountain gronn’s up around the northern part of Nagrand without a hassle and looked at Durn just being another 67 elite the same as them so I took the quest for him, buffed up fully and went in search. I cleared the elekk around Tuskgor’s area and waited for Durn, as he arrived I dropped totems, spread out and moved Smara forward to engage, this is where my plan fell apart. He hit me almost right away with a few 1k hits so I had to heal and that gave agro to Calliori who got like 2 shot by him, and it was downhill from there. Think I’ll wait a few more levels and some gear before I try again but he really should be doable soon, the 118k hp estimate that mobhealth gave for him means it will be a reasonable length fight too, even at 2k group dps it means around 60 second fight.

I’m hoping to hit 67 by friday night/saturday morning and 70 before the 29th, which should be doable as we have a long weekend the weekend before that and will likely take monday off as well..the main reason for this is that I really want to hit 70 with the group before GTA4 is in my hands on the tuesday so guess I’ll be pushing myself this week.

On a slightly sadder note, I think my new 9600GT is dying. I’m getting massive graphical tearing and artifacting while playing WoW now and sometime it will just black screen on me until I hit the reset button on the comp. It’s not affecting anything else, itunes keeps playing on the pc etc, I just can’t see anything as it puts the monitors out of sync. I’ll be taking it back to the markets on saturday and trying to get them to let me just pay the difference for a 9800 if they have any (or just a straight swap for something else) rather than warranting it but if I have to I will, thankfully I have a spare 7800GTX that I hadn’t put back in the SLI machine still sitting on my desk. I also think I need to fire up some other game on the pc like HL2 and see if I get the same problems, just to be sure it is the card.

I took the time today to go and create some sig file images for all the guys and girls, not sure if I’ll actually use them anywhere but here but they do give me a good quick indicator of what I need to work on upgrading if I’m bored at work and want to plan out some upgrade paths without access to the game. Anyway, here they are, let’s see if they are any good
