When I was a kid a brand new invention called the CD player entered our lives. Along with it came, naturally, CD’s themselves. I was lucky enough that my parents decided to buy one of these CD players early on, while the music industry was still working very hard to produce these magic shiny discs with digitalized audio. I remember the exact moment when I was with my dad at …
Add Ubuntu Terminal to Windows 10
Have a look at this page for instructions on how to add a terminal to your Windows 10 in a matter of seconds. I just installed it and I’m very pleased with it so far. Could this mean I will stop using Putty after all these years? I’m not sure yet but I’m going to find out really soon. Here’s a link directly to the Windows Store if you don’t …
People tell me I’m a funny guy
People tell me I’m a funny guy. And I know I can be funny. I don’t know where it comes from or why I do it but it’s just something that helps me to get through my life or something. A coping mechanism perhaps? So I got that going for me which is nice. Here’s a lovely article I would like you to read. I’m only doing this to prove …
A good sing-a-long song
Now please let me know if you disagree if this is not the best song ever to sing a long with the volume at a volume that you can’t keep up that high for too long cause else your neighbors will start calling the cops. If you lived through the nineties, fully aware, then you will be one of them people that knows exactly what I mean. Enjoy! And don’t …
On the Instagramz
I caved in, again. I created a new account on the Instagramz. My previous account was hacked and it made it so that I was following thousands of people I didn’t want to follow. So I disabled the account, made a new temporary one in the meantime, and now that my previous account name became available again I re-opened ustoopia at the Instagramz. Not sure yet if I’ll be using …
This is going to change the world… of warcraft
Blizzard announced at Blizzcon 2017 that a new World of Warcraft called Battle for Azeroth expansion will be released somewhere next year. Awesome introduction cinematic, as always. I’m excited! I think most players are excited. Are you excited? Let me know by leaving a comment below. The video below shows all the previous World of Warcraft Expansion cinematics in chronological order, including the very first one from 2004. That’s the …
Things you should do after installing Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi
Here are a couple of things that you should do after you’ve installed Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi. Installing the Raspbian operating system itself is very easy so I’m not going into that. You can figure that out on your own. This article is just about a couple of things that you should, or could, do after installing the operating system. Click on the “read more” link below to get …
The Expanse v.s. Star Trek Discovery
For me personally the Netflix TV-series The Expanse managed to fill a void that was created by what I believe to be a failing Star Trek sequel called Discovery that is also on Netflix. If you are, like me, somewhat disappointed in the new Star Trek series but still feel a primal urge for a really good sci-fi series I would advise you choose to watch The Expanse. You will …
The god of burps
I know it might be a bit immature but but I just can’t help laughing my ass of at this video. He’s got talent!
Finally somebody who listens to me!
First I should refer you to this post from back in May because else the rest of this post might not make any sense to you. Today I found out that a good friend did not see the show either! And he’s my age. At first I wanted to punch him in the face for it, but turns out that he’s now working day and night to binge through it …
Very typical
Where I live there is an important road that leads to other places one of them being the nearest hospital. Now this road has been closed down for over a week already. This was announced weeks in advance and there are signs everywhere. Downside for me is that a lot of the traffic that know their way around here come drive through my street to avoid the road block. A …
I was there! God I feel old right now…
Here’s a video from the TV-news in 1994 about the traffic chaos problems around Eindhoven the Netherlands caused by the hard-rock festival Dynamo Open Air that was visited by 125.000 people. Looking at the video now makes me feel really old because I was at this festival with two good friends when I was in my puberty and it all looks so dated looking at it now. I must say …
A quest to see the world for what it is
Let me tell you about Laurens. He’s a young Dutch guy with a fresh family and I know him because he also plays the game World of Warcraft. He became a member of our guild for a while and we had the opportunity to get to know him through Discord. He is an intelligent young man, with a great sense of humor and he also carries the ADHD label so …
My condition (Deuteranomaly)
Many people have asked me questions about my colorblindness but I’ve never been able to explain it as clear and informative as the fellow who made this video.
It’s time for some Cosplay!
This weekend is Gamescom 2017 in Germany where Blizzard has already presented their new upcoming content. I was pretty surprised to learn that the new patch goes live next week already!! Still so many things to do before then :-|. What I always love is the Cosplay contest at these events. Transmogging is one of the elements in the game World of Warcraft that I really like so you can …
The quest to find Leeroy
If you are not a World of Warcraft player you should stop reading right now because this post will probably not make any sense to you. I’ve decided to embark on a quest to find Leeroy. He’s not dead yet so he’s got to be somewhere! I will start where the Terminator also started his quest; in the phone-book registry. So let’s start making some calls! I will post the …
I need one of these because of reasons
I would love to have one of these old Blizzard servers that the game World of Warcraft used to run on. Back in the day a realm used to run on one of these bad boys. I need one of these servers for nostalgic reasons. And of course to mess around with to get my own private server running 🙂
PvP Arena’s Legion Season 4 World of Warcraft DK+Pally
Some random PvP arena game-play of me doing 2v2 in World of Warcraft Season 4 with a Death Knight friend.
I am the admin!
This video is only funny if you are in ICT and also familiar with the TV-show Breaking Bad.
Progress in Tomb of Sargeras
Our guild Vliegende Hollanders (Trollbane-EU) has recently decided to team up with Shadow Army (Aerie Peak-EU) to combine our resources and manpower to make some progress in the new Tomb of Sargeras raid and it was a very successful evening. I uploaded a compilation to youtube for those very few people that are interested in watching it.
