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!

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!
