	Politics Test 3:47 am-Turk Comments (5) Default Permalink (No Ratings Yet) A Politics Test. Not that I consider myself political. But it’s one of those things I wonder about. If six pages of questions can accurately tell what my political beliefs are. This is me: You are a Social Liberal (68% permissive) and an Economic Liberal (21% permissive). You are best described as a Strong Democrat. You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. So Strong Democrat it is. Gawain is a dirty Socialist by comparison.

	Testing 9:54 am-Turk Comments (12) WordPress Permalink (No Ratings Yet) This is a test. If your seeing this… Well if your seeing this that means that I’m messing around with my website. I’m thinking about switching from using Coranto to something called WordPress. This plugin is very neat: wp_versioning which lets you keep old versions of posts and compare them or revert to the older version. For example here is version 1 of this post and compared to the newest edit.

	Stress Test/Open Beta Fileplanet Signup! 11:55 pm-Turk Comments (0) General Permalink (No Ratings Yet) If you pay for Fileplanet.com get over there now and sign up for the World of Warcraft Stress Test/Open Beta! Again this is for paying costumers of Fileplanet. If your not it’s only 7 or 8 bucks. And whatever you do make sure you say no thanks to the 15 buck quarterly rate they offer. Because the next page you get after saying no offers you 7.90 a month.

	WoW Stress Test Stress! 1:46 am-Turk Comments (0) General Permalink (No Ratings Yet) The World of Warcraft stress test beta is live and running. I had many worries about playing during this stress test. Some of these worries were put to rest. Some of them are just annoying. I assumed that there would be one server. I could just imagine the lag on this one server in my mind. Thankfully there are quite a few servers to chose from. Both the normal and PvP servers are choices. Also I swear that performance on these stress test servers are much better than on the closed beta servers. I was getting over 100 fps on the stress test server I joined. On the beta server I get around 30-50 fps. Maybe Blizzard tweaked some stuff here and the next time I log in on the closed beta server it will be all good. Now my biggest worry and something that just annoys the shit out of me is all of the god damn newbs playing this game. It’s just fucking chaos on this stress test server. The newb area is swarming with people. It’s standing room only around all of the mob camps. And the majority of these people must have never played a mmorpg before. Because their fucking clueless. All of the questions that fly by on the main chat channel are crazy. Where my trainer? Where is this? Where is that? Open your eyes and look around for christ sake. And don’t get me wrong. I don’t claim to be a power gamer at all. But I don’t have a problem exploring around an area looking for shit. And sure you can say I’m in the closed beta and I already know all this shit. But I looked around and explored when I first got into the game on the closed beta. And World of Warcraft makes all of this stuff so easy. There is no reason a player has to be that lazy. The funniest thing even with all of the people in the starting areas the game is still fun as hell. So far two of my fellow Dark Age of Camelot guildies are playing. With any luck we will have a guild going tomorrow. It’s only ten silver to get a guild charter and I feel that can be done by tomorrow. The problem will being getting enough people to sign the thing. I suspect I will be playing all day today. But what the hell I got nothing better to do.

	This Is A Test 7:33 pm-Turk Comments (0) Default Permalink (No Ratings Yet) Well I’m just checking if this works. I have to use plain old HTML, I don’t have my Frontpage 2000 to help me out. Work is going well. It can get a little boring at times. I miss my computer and I miss my computer games. I am really missing Starfleet Command. Anyway I going to see South Park: Bigger, Louder, And Uncut tonight. I hope it’s good. If it isn’t bigger, louder, and uncut I’m going to be really pissed off. So I’m signing off for now. You guys send me an e-mail at Turk. And I have to say Hi to my dad and the Izers. So Hi gang!
