Homebrew, Raiding and Advance War: Days of ruin


I just got my m3 ds real last night and uploaded a bunch of games i owned. However i was highly disappointed because i can't get video to works because its require a lot of decoding and recoding. I'm bound to figure it out sooner or later but last night its was just frustration. Everything else is fine they been times where a game frozen on me but after a quick reset its was fine.

Raiding what can you say about it, its a grind to get better gear to heal effective or output more damage. Back in the day before BC you use to raid to get pve gear to pwned a noob. However this is no longer require due to the pvp/arena system. The pvp/arena system is flaw and most raiders call it welfare epics. The of having epics means that you accomplish something thats was hard however doing 10 games a week and after a month getting a purple hardly seem like you earn it. Back to raiding, i truly hate raiding as a healer because its like playing whack a mole with bars maybe its would be more enjoyable if i could hook up my ds to the pc and touch the bars to heal.

Finally i notice something on DS Fanboy which kinda brother me, its was an review of Advance wars claiming its was to hard. In my last post i posted its was to easy which is an complete contradiction's to DS Fanboys. Which mean either I'm either lying and claiming your my baby daddy or the DS Fanboys reviewer sucks at Strategy games and never play one before. I like to believe thats the truth, because i sucks at strategy games example Starcraft and Warcraft series. I like Advance Wars because its simple and its like rock, paper, scissor combat, the only requirement for resources is to capture city's to receive funds on your turn. They no worrying about getting wood or metal to craft weapons, the game is design for young children's to play. The point of this post is that i found someone who sucks at strategy games more then me and what an wonderful day.

Advance Wars/Shadow Res Gear


I have been waiting for this game for quite awhile because after advance war duel strike left a bitter taste in my mouth. The reasons was because of the mechanics of the game. The game would always win when push in a tough spots such as co using they powers to wipe out my forces, take an example andy who can repairs all of his units on the field. Every time i think i was winning he would just auto repairs his unit every 10 turns or so.

What do i think about the new advance wars game well its to easy, i was able to blow through the single player in about 8 hours. Which isn't bad for most games these days but the ai was stupid and not aggressive as the old one. The CO Powers are now gone which mean they can't auto repair or do double damage but the ai has lost its balls. The single player is more adult in a sense thats its might be rated PG instead of G like the past games. The little kids are now replace with adults dealing with real problem such as a plague and crooked generals.

The wow is ok but boring since i lost my arena partner this past week. I spent about a good 1k gold on shadow res gear which is require for one fight in Black temple. I think the amount of money thats goes into beating one boss is gross because if you were just starting black temple you wouldn't have the gear for her and she would just be a time sink. I'm use to having res gear such as fire for mc and bwl, nature for aq40 and frost for naxx. However in those dungeons the res gears was use for more then just one fight. I think blizzard need to be more invented when its come to boss battle instead of a gear check, res gear check, fear check, or click check.

Where Art Thou Arena Partner??


Arena!! Is the best part of wow because its makes you feel like a gladiator. It's show the best of the best on the battlegroup and i truly do enjoy it. However finding a partner is always hard because you don't want a noob (Insert Wreck). What do you look for in a partner do you look for class combination or how much information he knows about other classes. It's a combination of both and the more stranger the combo the better the result. A perfect example would be Elemental Shaman and Felguard Warlock. The team have CC and burst damage but lack longevity.

The reason i am writing about this is because my partner for 2v2 and 3v3 Penfifteen/Majargjr/Zach is gone. He apparently found a girl friend and is now in the land of pussy. The search for a new arena partner has begun! I try using a druid name hijinx who would just get rape in a matter of seconds. He was fully vengful gear however he didn't understand how to play a druid. The point of having a druid in 2v2 is hit/run and being annoying as hell. However he didn't quite understand that and just stood in caster form healing. The next choice who i haven't tested out yet it foxy the pally. However she doesn't talk in vent which is a major problem in arena; communication is key because i need to know if she spell lock or being focus.

The search is still open and i just hope zach find a balance between wow and girl friend. I give him another 2 weeks until he goes crazy and come back to wow but in the mean time i be doing arena with shitty wow players.

Picking a Name/History



I think the most hardest part about making a blog is picking a title. I thought of many names such as Arena Master, Wow Lover to Majarg the mighty. My two other's friend have really cool bog names which are A2W and Heavy Mehtul. I decided on Th3 Ch3at because i been using this tag for about 3-4 years now and its very board.

My first game tag ever was T3 which most people think its base on Terminator3. I name myself thats mainly base on the T3 internet connection due to my reflected while playing MOH:AA. The name stuck for awhile until i change it to TX due to a Female Robot conversation. I was name TX for a long time due to the robot conversation and as we all know female robot don't exist. The name will later change to Th3Ch3at mainly because i was a huge HomeStar Runner fan. The name will warp into The Chort due to strongbad calling him the chort and wreck calling me chort instead of cheat. You might notice the tag Majarg which is my wow character but thats another story.

This was my first post; I hope its easy on the eye and easy to understand. Hopefully my writing will get better if i continue to write on this blog. I figure if i write in it on Mon, Wed and Friday thats my writing will have to get better.
