My Tab Problem.

OK, so my chrome browser always take a while to start up and takes up a lot of RAM. Sometimes I wonder: Why? Then I remember, oh yeah. you have 50+ tabs open.


Luckily, my monitor is a 26 inch. But still, this is bad.

Luckily, I ran into something called "Pocket" Its a fancy bookmark basically. So now that I have pocket, I can bookmark everything and close it! Well, I did. A few days later, I have 40+ NEW tabs open again and am too lazy to bookmark them all.


Meh.

TRIBAL WARS AND LORD OF ULTIMA.

When my cousin, Christopher and I where little, we used to spend a lot of time playing Internet games. Too much time, actually. Anyways, one day we found this amazing game called Tribal wars.

The idea of the game is to create a town, and form a tribe with other players and take over the world throughout the course of weeks and weeks of playing.

Lets just say.. We became addicts.

3 or 4 times a day we would pop online and set up another upgrade in the build que so we could get more wood for building more troops for invading more villages... We where kings.

We where also the leaders of our own tribe. Basically, a tribe is a group of of people.. or.. kings.. working together to take down other tribes! Its barbaric.. its FANTASTIC.

Eventually, we where overthrown and our empires fell. :(


A year or two later, we found a similar game called Lord of Ultima.

The goal of the game is to literally become the "Lord of Ultima" by taking over specific magical castles that a hundred other people where fighting over.

In lord of ultima, I created a Kingdom. Which is pretty much the same thing as a tribe.
I named the kingdom: Kingdom United. (Cliche, I know)

After a couple weeks of playing, the kingdom became very large. We had over 50 members! (Which is a lot!) I was their leader... Their KING. My second in command was "DeathCow"

I was the good cop, he was the bad cop.
He always wanted to invade villages, and attack other kingdoms while I always played on the more defensive side. It was kind of frustrating having to always keep him from getting us all killed, but I did it!

A few weeks later, we had over 100 members, a second kingdom (For lower ranked players) and someone even created us a website! AND I WAS THEIR KING.

One day, while I was at my friends house, I got on the computer and checked my game and found out that DeathCow was up to no good and decided to try kicking me off the throne. I once again, kept the riot down, but was forced to give DeathCow more privileges to stop a revolution.

This... was my mistake..

As soon as I gave him power to do so, he banned be from the tribe.

NO.

Yes.


I was forced to create a rebellion with some of my most trusted members. We where no match.
After another week of fighting... My cities fell to DeathCow.

Sorrow... Joy....

Yes, Joy.

I was happy it was over. I became a slave to that game. If I left it for longer than 1 day, something terrible would happen! I had to check it EVERY DAY.

I was free!







Recently, (A couple days ago) I got a terrible urge to play some more tribal wars. Bam. Now I created a new village, and already created my own tribe (With Christopher!)

Hopefully, with all of my experience I can OWN THE WORLD.

CAPS LOCK.

ITS THAT LITTLE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF YOUR KEYBOARD THAT YOU NEVER PRESS.

SOME CALL IT THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. OTHERS JUST CALL IT OBNOXIOUS.

I2k 2.

OK, I know we've already written a post about our internet provider - i2k. But we needed to revisit this one because its actually gotten WORSE!

I don't know what they have done to it, but now, a webpage will rarely even LOAD. How do we get around this? Refresh the page.. refresh the page... refresh the page.... OK, half of it loaded... refresh the page... refresh the page.. THERE WE GO!

This makes internet surfing more like trying to punch through a brick wall.


Less like this:




and more like this:



These days, our internet is literally worse than dial up.
I don't know how thats possible in this day and age. But its a fact.



We have been concocting tons of plans to get legit internet.
We have called cable company's, phone company's, and even considered buying internet form someone we like to call.. Butt crack blare. Why? Hes a creepy hillbilly with a plummer crack.

And apparently, our internet stinks so bad because he complained to the city about i2k's internet towers because they where interfering with his or something... So they had to take one of them down. The main one.

So, no way were giving butt crack blare our money.



I actually think we might buy a business circuit from the phone company (That's $600 a month) and start our own.. basically.. internet company.. We would get all of our neighbors to pay us something like $70 a month and we would send the internet over to their house too.

it would be a lot of work and be pricy, but it would be really fast!

Hopefully something works out.


Thanks people!
