I had time to play wow a little and i have to say i just can't say if the patch was good or bad.
Every class feel more powerful than before and leveling a new character is even easier (with a BIG wrinting invading your screen when you level up "Congratulations! you are now level <insert level here>! Your class trainer can now teach you a new skill, go visit him!" that makes me feel an idiot.).
About the new talent system i like how you get the most important abilities the moment you chose your specialization but i dislike the lack of freedom in your build, i could spec my chars without even using a talent calculator to make some tries.
Most of the changes to the skills are cool but they shifted a little the balance, some classes are doing way too much damage.

Anyway this is supposed to be a transition patch applied only to prepare for the expansion that hopefully (leveling to 85) will restore the balance among characters with the introduction of level 81+ skills and gear.

Now that i bored you enough with this wow-crap, some music for you!

Avantasia - The Scarecrow

Lyrics also in the video

(Tobias Sammet)

I'm just a loser in the game of love

I'm just a stray boy in the shade

And how I wish to know what love is like

To find someone to contemplate

There's a voice and a million answers

To the questions I don't ask

A demon I've got to contain

When I'm walking through the fen

Gonna deep into the black

There are whispers that I can't restrain

Don't give in

Rise to fame - time will come

Make your claim - time has come

For the crow to fly away

(Jorn Lande)

So you're an angel meant to walk down here

And you believe it's all divine

And you don't play by all those temporal rules

Watch the world begin to die

Alright - when the lamb's been torn to pieces,

I've been crashing from the sky

Fallen to care for the pray, they put a spoke right in your wheel

I'm the one to dare the weak, to push you all over the pain

You give in - oh

Rise to fame - time will come

Make your claim - time has come

For the crow to fly away

(Sammet)

I close my eyes and I see what's coming my way

He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay

(Lande)

Hm, I'm a stranger, I'm a changer and I'm danger...

Maybe

(Sammet)

Fallen angel - waiting for the prey

The devil has come to take a maimed away

Penetration of the twisted mind

The evil is out for the weak and blind

I can feel it in your voice

Ever so sweet, no

Do I really have a choice? No, no, no!

(Lande)

Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground

You roam the barren wicked plains abound

In evil eyes and evil speak

About it all your evil freaks

When you say it's all divine and meant to be

What about your flesh and blood and defires like me?

Their evil eyes are looking down on you

And those who don't are losing sight of you

Face the rage to chase away

The specter of disgrace and shame

Withered roses dying on the ledge

A withered dreamer standing on the edge

You dream of love but you wake up to pain

You're better off to join in my game

Then she'll better off to cry contrite tears

One day she'll wonder why she had to let you disappear,

Rise to fame - your time has come

Time will come - to take the sun

Make your claim - you're drawn to the sound

Time has come - you're leaving ground

Rise to fame - the flight of the crow

Time will come - cross the line

Your time has come - for the crow to fly away

It's a flight to hell

Can you hear the bell

The devil has come

To take your soul away

A flight to hell - alright

I'm a stranger

I'm a changer

And I'm danger

Fallen angel

Waiting for the prey

Hypocrisy - Weed out the Week

The cryogenic holocaust
Slows down the desease
Give us all a taste of your miracle
We're thirsty for your medicine
The hate burns in your eyes
It's kill or be killed
It's in the nature of the human races' weak mind
To be exterminated by ourselves

Just stab their hearts for nothing
Your greedy souls scream in envy
Kill them all
Release the anger
Weed out the week
You don't need them

Weed out the week

Exterminate the riff raff
No one will miss you anyway
Clean up the world with an iron fist
Start the harvest of the dead
There's no room for you
There's no room for you
There is a new religion coming around the bend
And it's called fuck you

Just stab their hearts for nothing
Your greedy souls scream in envy
Kill them all
Release the anger
Weed out the week
You don't need them

Weed out the weak
Stab them all

Just stab their hearts for nothing
Your greedy souls scream in envy
Kill them all
Release the anger
Weed out the week
You don't need them

Dark Tranquillity - Lethe

Give me to drink of the fluid that disintegrates 

And lend me the sweet balm and blessing

Of forgetfulness, empty and strong 

Lethe

Oh, lethe!

Hold me near, unravel the stars

As I speed through the heavens, 

I speed through the night

For you are my blade and my rope

You are my Lethe

(You are my all)

In currents of cobalt you storm through my heart

To sever, to puncture the memories that burn

Let sweep through the arteries in sharp stabs of pain

Your talon-like fingers to kill me again

Steal me, invade me, and charge me again

(And again, and again, and again)

For I burn and I shudder

Burn with each movement of 

So, cleansed through a floodlight

I appear, renewed and reforged

Caressed by the sweet balm and blessing

Of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Lethe,

Hold me near, my one friend and guide 

As I drown through your fingers, 

Drown through your love

For you are the life that I hate

You are my, you are my...

Drag me down in passionate sighs

With the ocean above me and flames in my eyes

And grant my a life I can live 

Without...

Take me away...

Take me away...

From the life that I hate

WoW patch 4.0

Today patch 4.0 hit the world of warcraft EU servers nad i decided to renew my subscription.

As a hunter player i HAD to try the new hunter's resource system (Focus instead of mana) before the realease of the expansion itself.
I played for about 1 hour and it seems promising, unlike mana focus is an "unlimited" resource hat regenerates very fast but also is consumed with the same speed.

Some powerful shots consume focus while others weak ones regenerate it, you can actually get from 100 to 0 (and vice versa) in a matter of seconds.

At first glance it looks like the shot rotation will be harder and more unforgiving than before.

As for now Marksmanship seems the actual highest dps build.

I'll keep you informed as i discover more things ;)

Psyopus - Medusa

Large amount of chaos and insanity are in this song. Listen at your own risk.

Flinching as her wavy hair hisses

Slithers around and around

Entangles her face

Nothing is to be seen

Coils of our beauty queen's reptile crown

I can't bare to see your face without thinking "Kill Her"

I just want my fucking space

I can count the six feet under ground

I just wish you were erased

Who'd think a mirror to your face could kill

Stone

Your monster face chews beauty no more

and hoe I'd kill to gaze upon kind recollection

Where you and I could bow

Perhaps to get along less the ugly in stone

With all the smiles and all that's kind

Put right in your face

None could silence the sound

Of your hissing moral chorus

Kill her

Fucking kill her

Stick the fucking mirror to her fucking face

Kill her

Fucking kill her

Stick the fucking mirror to her fucking face

Queen of the Ugly 

Baad, bad times.

You know, this summer i stayed at home because i had no money to spend on a holyday and now i am still in the same situation.

October seems to be a month with a lot of interesting things i'd like to attend but i feel like i will go nowhere.

A copule of days ago (10th October) Dark Tranquillity (one of my favourite bands) had a concert in Bologna but i just couldn't be there.

On 13th October Blind Guardian will have a concert in Milan and it is sold out (it doesn't matter anyway, ticket + train to get there + hotel for one night is too expensive now...)

22nd October: Pain of Salvation in concert @ Milan, same as above.

30th October: The Agonist + Maroon @ Bologna, this may be possible if i find someone who has a car willing to come too, this way i wouldn't need to look for a place to sleep but i don't think i'll find anyone.

From 29th October to 1st November: Lucca Comics & Games, for four days the whole city is devoted to...well, Comics and games indeed, with an army of cosplayers invading the streets. a very beautiful thinks but i'll need to persuade someone to take me there.

Probably i'll not attend any of these events and it absolutely bugs me.

Overkill - The Years of Decay

Out

On this road

Takes its toll

And you pay for everything you do

Under lights

Made me blind

This place is the same as last night

Out

Of control

Takes its toll

But you learn to live with your dreams

And speaking your mind to those you find

Listening to what you have to say

I wouldn't change the way

I wouldn't stop the decay

Promised

The world

As our world

Changed before our eyes

And the days became the weeks

And the weeks the years

And no one remembers that very first day

How it slipped away

Forever

I wait

Putting in

Putting out as the motors whine

To remind me I'm home

And I'm here to stay

As we decay

Another day

Decay away

I'm goin' home

I don't know where

I'm goin' home

Not far from here

Out on this road

Payin' this toll

Make me whole

Set the stage

Fill it with anger

Fill it with rage

No I don't know what is today

I know it falls in the years of decay

Self

Sacrifice

Every night

And together we pay the price in blood

That's spilled out

Through the years

And another day passes away

Look to the black

Drawn farther back

Look to each day

See the decay

Times I've had

Good and bad

Win or lose

This is what I choose

The Years of Decay

Death - Symbolic

Best band in the world.

I don't mean to dwell

But I can't help myself

When I feel the vibe

And taste a memory

Of a time in life

When years seemed to stand still

I close my eyes

And sink within myself

Relive the gift of precious memories

In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?

The change to come was undetectable

The open wounds expose the importance of

Our innocence

A high that can never be bought or sold

Symbolic acts - So vivid

Yet at the same time

We're invisible

Savor what you feel and what you see

Things that may not seem important now

But may be tomorrow

Do you remember when

Things seemed so eternal?

Heroes were so real...

Their magic frozen in time

The only way to learn

Is be aware and hold on tight

I close my eyes

And sink within myself

Relive the gift of precious memories

In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?

The change to come was undetectable

The open wounds expose the importance of

Our innocence

A high that can never be bought or sold

Slayer - Angel of Death

Fucking Slayer!

Gamma Ray - Rebellion in Dreamland

I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions on the other post, i'll watch  them and tell you if i liked 'em =)

Now it's Gamma Ray time!

Voices are calling from somewhere bellow

melting on the eastern shore

Rain is falling down on me,

been waiting for eternity...

I'll be there!

Freedom for us all!

And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns

and I wonder why, why the earth still turns

and I wonder why, why the sky turns black

Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back

For all eternity, for all the world to see

we're riding high across the wind

and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins

we'll find a place where we'll begin

There's something wrong with the world today,

only the people that are fighting for...

...a better place in the world today,

they don't believe that they gone too far,

...they're falling down.

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion

here, the world has gone astray... revolution

Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah

deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion

Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

... and the earth still turns but I'm on my way,

he is on the way, as my heart still yearns

... I'm on my way, now he is on the way,

and I cry for more

Yes I'm on my way, now he is on the way,

gonna find the secret wall

I have seen the secret dreams

of those who know eternity

and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in

In my sleep I'm searching for a way to find

the open door leading me to where it all begins

There's nothing wrong with the world today...

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion

here, the world has gone astray... revolution

Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah

deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion

Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

Now I'm riding through the air

going to where no one dares

on the way I'll cross the line forevermore.

For once in life, I do not care

nothing matters, now I dare

On the ride I'll cross the line

forever to be free

Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

Demanding MOOOAR!

Disturbed - Meaning of Life

Lyrics in the video.

Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus

Dirty little secret,
Dirty little lies.
Say your prayers and comb your hair,
Save your soul tonight.

Drift among the faithful,
Bury your desires.
Aberrations fill your head,
You need a place to hide
And I am...

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

When your worlds come crashing down
I want to relive.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
Jesus wasnt there!

You confess it all away,
But its only shit to me
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

No I wont!
No I wont.

I thought you were a good man,
I thought you talked to god.
You hippocratic, messianic, and child abusing-turned-satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

"Im not Jesus,
You cant run away!"

And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus
I will not forgive!

I wont forgive.
I wont do whatever you want to.
I wont forgive.
I wont do whatever you want to.

Do you remember me ?
And the kid I used to be ?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me ?

Nooooooo!

When your worlds come crashing down,
I want to relive
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
Jesus wasnt fair!

You confess it all away,
But its only shit to me!
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
Im not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeahyeah!
No, I will not forgive!

Dream Theater - Learning to Live

There was no time for pain

No energy for anger

Sightlessness of hatred slips away

Walking through winter streets alone

He stops and takes a breath

With confidence and self-control

I look at the world and see no understanding

I'm waiting to find some sense of strength

I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart

To show me understanding

I need to live life

Like some people never will

So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth

When temptation brings me to my knees

And I lay here drained of strength

Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth

The way your heart sounds

Makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats

Makes all the difference

In learning to live

Here before me is my soul

I'm learning to live

I won't give up till I've no more to give

No more to give

Listening to the city

Whispering its violence

I set out watching from above

The 90's bring new questions

New solutions to be found

I fell in love to be let down

Once again we dance in the crowd

At times a step away

From a common fear that's all spread out

It won't listen to what you say

Once you're touched you stand alone

To face the bitter fight

Once I reached for love

And now I reach for life

Another chance to lift my life

Free the sensation in my heart

To ride the wings of dreams

Into changing horizons

It brings inner peace within my mind

As I'm lifted from where I've split my life

I hear an innocent voice

I hear kindness, beauty and truth

The way your heart sounds

Makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats

Makes all the difference

In learning to live

Spread before you is your soul

So forever hold the dreams within our hearts

Through nature's inflexible grace

I'm learning to live

Porcupine Tree - Time Flies

I was born in '67

The year of "Sgt. Pepper"

And "Are You Experienced"

It was a suburb of heaven 

Yeah and it would have been forever 

It all seemed to make so much sense 

But after a while you realize time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

She said luck is all you make it

You just reach out and take it

Now let's dance for a while

She said nothing ever happens

If you don't make it happen

And if you can't laugh then smile

But after a while you realise time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

And laughing under

Summer showers

Is still the way I see you now

How does time break down?

With no marker, things slow down

A conference of the strange

And your family is deranged

I could tell you what I'm thinking

While we sit here drinkin'

But I'm not sure where to start

You see there's something wrong here

I'm sorry if I'm not clear

Can you stop smoking your cigar?

But after a while you realise time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

And the coat you wore to Alton Towers

Is still the way I see you now

Alterbridge - Ties That Bind

I tear on the leash

That keeps me contained and controlled

Let me go, I want to break free

And fight my way out of this hole

One last hope

To rise and break away

Above the fading line

Way beyond the ties that bind

This I know

The risk is worth the gain

It's worth the sacrifice

Way beyond the ties that bind

I run but the chains

Pull me right back to the floor

You control, rattle the cage

I won't be your slave anymore

One last hope

To rise and break away

Above the fading line

Way beyond the ties that bind

This I know

The risk is worth the gain

It's worth the sacrifice

Way beyond the ties that bind

 You broke me into pieces

Don't tell me what to be

Damn you all, I'm gonna find my way

One last hope

To rise and break away

Above the fading line

Way beyond the ties that bind

This I know

The risk is worth the gain

It's worth the sacrifice

Way beyond the ties that bind

Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side

One of the most beautiful songs ever, this is THE masterpiece of Blind Guardian.

Awesome lyrics:

Where are these silent faces?

I took them all
They all went away
Now you're alone
To turn out every light so deep in me
Hold on, to late


Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand?
Or were they killed
By the old evil ghost
Who had taken
The ocean
Of all my dreams
Which were worth to keep
Deep inside my heart
I wish I
Could get them back
From the everflow
Before they'll fade away


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side


Where's the ocean's daughter?
Was Peter Pan in Mordor?
No one's there to keep alive
All these fairy tales
May I return to Oz?
Will I meet the "Tin Man"?
"Coward Lion" where are you?
Without brain the scarecrow's lost
In the middle of the lake
Stranded in the real world
Left in a world
No place for daydreams
Serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
And I can't come out


Do you know
If Merlin did exist
Or Frodo wore the ring?
Did Corum kil the gods?
Or where's the wonderland
Which young Alice had seen
Or was it just a dream?
I knew the answers
How they're lost for me


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side


I hope there is a way back
With my talisman
So I look into myself
To the days when I was just a child
Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm in stores 7th of December

IRVINE, Calif., Oct 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft(R): Cataclysm(TM), the highly anticipated third expansion for the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game*, will be released starting on December 7, 2010. The expansion will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $39.99 and will also be offered as a digital download from the Blizzard Store. A special Collector's Edition packed with bonus items will be available exclusively in retail stores for a suggested retail price of $79.99.

"Cataclysm includes the best content we've ever created for World of Warcraft. It's not just an expansion, but a re-creation of much of the original Azeroth, complete with epic new high-level adventures for current players and a redesigned leveling experience for those just starting out," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "With the help of our beta testers, we're putting on the final polish, and we look forward to welcoming gamers around the world to enjoy it in just a couple of months."

The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release.* In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races — worgen and goblins — will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.

I think it's time to start saving some money :>
