Back again with the 2015 update!

Well like ive said its been a busy time! 

Will just jump stright back in on whats happening now! 

Firstly, have powered though Draenor, currently waiting for a healer in Blackrock Foundry stood looking at Gruul

So will have to see how far i make it tonight and carry on over the weekend! Manged to get my "ahead of the curve" feat of strength before the raid came out! so GG

Ill touch on Bitcoins quickly, have been using BTC-e trading for a while now. On this site is a live chat board, a user from here posted a "Bitgift" code on BitBays, so I signed up and collected the free gift, which was 0.01 of a bitcoin, so not a huge amount. On the site is also an option to Invest BTC in a Arbitrage Fund. I have added the gift and some of my own BTC to the Arbitrage Fund so will see how that works out over the coming weeks. Fingers crossed! 

Live update, have done tries on the boss now see attached! 

Thats it for tonight, ill have dinner and continue so other bits and bobs! 

Peace out! :D

Halloween Maze and 20 Wins!

Hello! 

Well its been a busy couple of days with Halloween, recovering from Halloween and added a 20 wins video to the Hearthstone Collection. 

So here is the first highlight from the weekend. 

We went to a party in High Wycombe, invite from Elisa's work friend. This was a fancy dress Halloween party with homemade Maze! 

Couple of drinks, some maze action some great people for a great charity. 

Here is the clip! 

Awesome night! 

Now for the gaming side of this, here is a new Hearthstone video, its the next step in the Hearthstone wins collection. I will carry on with this video and see how far i can get! Here hoping 100+ eh! 

So its recorded in 1.5x speed as the last one! 

The deal i made with myself is to try and play Hearthstone each night until i get defeated. So last night jumped on to play got into the first game and lost it, so that was it done for the night. This evening jumped on won 3 then lost so up to 23 wins will do another video at 30, then 40 and so on...... 

So there it is for now! 

See ya next time folks! 

Heroes of the Storm Part 2

Well I have been on the Alpha now for a couple of games now and can say that I'm enjoying it. I know some will say its exactly like League of Legends and the Dota's but as a blizzard fan i can just relate to these characters, that for me is nice reason to keep playing this game. 

Now ive playied some solo battles and a couple of online Vs games, its love it or awful situation. You can get a team who all work together and get the goals done.....or......you have that other type of team that just couldnt hold a kite down. 

I will carry on with the Alpha and report back at later dates but until then here is the 

2nd video in the HoTs Series. 

Curently finishing off the 20 Hearthstone wins video.... 

A Blizzard Surprise

Well after a day at work, got home to find an email from my favorite game company - Blizzard. The email subject being "ModifiedMatty Welcome to the Heroes Of The Storm Technical Alpha" 

Now this could be ranked in the top 10 types of email subjects being "Invite to Alpha/Beta stage of a new game"

So here it is! 

A 12min clip of the intro, couple of game crashes (It is alpha remember) and some game play of my first battle! 



Enjoy, I did!

Soapbox Building / Kite Flying / Hercules Drinking Game / Warcraft Questing and a Roast Dinner to finish it all off!

Well the week that has just past was full of interesting things but i will be high lighting the couple of things that have stood out! 

Firstly for a work 2 day team building and conference, we headed up to Daventry (about an hour and 15 from home) the first half of the first day was very informative, the second part of the first day was an activity session, which involved building a Soapbox racer. 

We got given a shell and 4 wheels and told to build the rest, couple of mandatory items like side skirts, rear spoiler and front nose cone. Once built each team raced, to try and win a place in the final. 

For a team building activity this was a very good one! 

Moving quickly on to Saturday with Pat, we had planned to purchase remote control planes as the next fad, this changed after we actually thought about it, we would break them too quickly!

So we moved onto Kites, this seemed more practical! 

We headed to the Kite shop in town, purchased a 2.2m wing span "power kite" each. Due to being last years model (with the shop owner saying it was the packaging that had changed) the price was very competitive £35 each! bargain! 

We head over to the windiest filed near Pat's house, after a good 15mins of setting up the kites, connecting all the strings and lines, we went for the first flight! Oh boy kites are fun! We must have spent a good couple of windy hours in the field whizzing the kites left and right. 

Dont get me wrong, the amount of time the kite was in the air was equal to the amount of time spent untangling the lines once it came soaring down to the ground!

Overall the kites were great fun and looking forward to attaching a Go Pro to them and sending them up again! 

Saturday evening we headed to Panda's house, and decided to play the "Hercules Drinking Game", which is essence, is get drunk while watching the disney classic, Hercules. Now the rules are pretty simple, whenever X happens....DRINK! So whenever a song starts (which is disney is pretty often!), whenever he is called Jerk-ules and a handful of other rules - Great game! Makes me want to get the Disney box set, 2 crates of beer and off we go! 

Now onto Sunday, this was a very nice and relaxed Sunday,  we had one of Elisa's friends round for lunch so we decided to cook a roast dinner, i say we decided, which we did, but Elisa cooked. This in turn left me nothing to expect jump onto Warcraft to finally try and finish off the legendary Cloak Quest line. 

I have finally done it! for a second time! (both Paladin and now Mage). 

Dont get me wrong it wont take 5 mins to replace the items when WoD is released, but feel i have achieved something by doing it. 

Overall another great weekend, ready for a busy week at work! 

Side note - I have now sold the Bitcoin Mining Rig on ebay! so now just trading on the markets with the coins i mined! 

Until next time! 

Peace! 

Couple of Changes Lately - All for the better!

Well in the last week there has been a couple of changes! 

Lets try and bullet point these for you

• New Warcraft 6.0.2 Patch
• Purchased and Installed a Samsung 840 Evo Pro SSD
• Installed Windows 8.1 OS

Warcraft Patch 6.0.2 - The Iron Tide 

This week we saw the release of the new Warcraft Pre Patch, this has changed many aspects of the game some minor changes and others more noticeable. Now for anyone who is interested in the Pre Patch has more than likely already looked up all the changes but here is a quick list of high level changes. 

• New Character Models 
• Better Looking For Group - Questing / Raiding New and Old (Finally) Content
• Inventory Changes (Mostly structure / Auto Sort and a Regents Bank Tab 
• New Level 90 Upper Blackrock Spire Instance 
• Toy Box (for all those Toys you want to keep but just dont have space for)
• Changes to each Class 

All of the Pre Patch changes, so far ive really enjoyed makes the Release for Warlords even more exciting! 

A full list of all patch changes in full details can be found on the WoW website (link here)

Here is a quick video of my Saturday - Heirloom Hunting / Celestial Kill / SoO HC Clips 

New Drive 

I have finally purchased a new Hard drive from my PC and this time its an SSD! Now i knew SSD's would change the PC performance but didn't expect it to be sop noticeable, the boot time is very quick, and then once in windows the load times of applications and games is just amazing! 

I decided to purchase the Samsung 840 Evo 250GB SSD (Found on amazon)  currently £89.90

Now is drive is is highly recommended! 

I have a slight issue to start with, where it felt like the PC was hanging for 10 seconds at a time, but after a quick firmware update she is running smooth as a babies bottom now. 

If you don't already have an SSD as your main operation Drive id suggest getting one! 

Windows 8.1

What goes hand in hand with a new SSD??

That's right a fresh install of the operating system

This time i have decided to go for Windows 8.1 (Normally would be 7) and so far i am really enjoying it. The first 24hrs it took a bit of getting used to, but now its been 4 days and i can safely say that this is a great OS (so far) 

I have changed the "Apps" page to things i will actually use, this has helped allot with the transition. 

Slowly installed all my old bits of software, Steam being the longest one with all the updates! 

Other Bits 

The website is slowly coming along, getting more and more views each day and i am slowly adding more bits of code to my collection! 

Here is the Link to MoDCore Code

Using Twitter more to get the message of the site out there for "How To" Guides! so check it out. 

Fantasy Football - If you have been here before you will know that 1) i know next to nothing about Premiership Football (teams or players) 2) Ive joined the work Fantasy football league, so far this week its not going well with most of my team getting 1 point each! 

So that is it for me at the mo, i will keep updating my blog, thinking of doing a "Weekly Win" for Hearthstone - basically all the last X seconds of each game i play that i win. The Finishing Move for each match. 

Keep Safe!

Still Streaming....Curve Challenge

Still streaming Garrosh fight he has still not gone down!

Yawn i may have to call it soon and leave it for tomorrow!

http://www.twitch.tv/modcorev1

See if i finish it or not! :D 

Update - now the curve challenge, try and get the curve achievement before the pre patch!

Bitcoin, Warcraft and Fantasy Football!

Hey All! 

Well its been a while since the mining build was completed (link HERE if you missed it) , then some months now since its been off. This is due to the mining difficultly as increased so much that the amount the rig would mine in a day outweighs the cost of electric for having it on. With that in mind, there has been more news about BTC becoming more mainstream with PayPal now embracing Bitcoins.

I have been lately playing on the Exchanges with some of the digital currency i have acquired. Will report back about that soon! 

 Warcraft now, last Saturday managed to clear the whole of the Flex raid bringing my item level up to 541 on my Frost Mage, sadly this week i have completed all the raids i can get into with also valor capping. As its Tuesday i will try and get into a Garrosh Normal as a last resort, otherwise will hop onto my Paladin and complete some randoms. 

Now the last part, fantasy football, I think I  have mentioned this before in the blog? If not ( there is one every year at work one free and one £5 entry fee, this year i joined the paid one, knowing a small amount of "football" related news)

So far for "The Excellers" its been a bouce start, 38th > 11th > 28th so fingers crossed we do a little better this week. I have made some changes to the team members and line, fingers crossed. 

I will add one note to this, tonight is an 11million lottery roll over, someone has to win it? so will pop online and grab 2 lucky dips!!! 

Peace!
