WoW Character

I've gone back to playing World of Warcraft.  I didn't much care for Star Trek Online and onine gaming makes for a nice distraction while waiting on laundry to dry or trying to shift gears when I'm working on an idea.

So I rolled up a Horde character.  He's an Undead Mage named Murglak.  Here's what he looks like:



The helmet he's wearing is pretty cool.  The dish on top rotates and it shoots lightning.  Here are the stats:

  • Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator
  • Binds when picked up
  •  
  •  Cloth
  • Head 
  • 44 Armor
  • +15 Intellect
    +12 Spirit
  • Durability 50 / 50
  • Requires Level 28
  • Item Level 37
  • Use: Channels a bolt of lightning and hurls it towards all enemies in front of the caster causing 147 to 167 Nature damage. The caster is then surrounded by a barrier of electricity for 10 min. (30 Min Cooldown)
  • Sell 31s 72c

Not bad for a level 30.  Here it is in action:


Neat, huh?

Bullitt - Complete Score



How did I go so many years without seeing this movie?  And hearing this awesome score?

I love it when I find a little nugget of treasure like this.  It has existed my entire life and I never once knew about it.  Now I can't get it out of my head.

Lalo Schifrin underscores this film with a nice mix of orchestral jazz and lounge music.  This isn't any of that retro-fusion nonsense.  This is the real thing!  It's all very low-key and sets a nice mood for web surfing or...other pursuits.

The first two tracks are the most memorable in the film.  Track 1 accompanies the bizarre opening titles and track 2 leads into the big car chase.  There is no music for the chase istelf.  Only squealing tires and revving engines.

Lalo Schifrin at his jazziest!  Highly recommended.
