How I Deal With WoW Nostalgia: Reclaiming the Magic With PlayerBots

In this video, I’m getting personal. We all remember the “Golden Era” of World of Warcraft. Not just for the raids or the loot, but for the community. Before social media was everywhere, WoW was our town square. It was where we shared our lives, our struggles, and our triumphs on TeamSpeak and Ventrilo. But time moves on. Our guildies grew up, priorities shifted, and reality took us away from Azeroth.

Build a World of Warcraft WotLK server on Windows using AzerothCore with PlayerBots

The previous posts I did on building your own WoW server are very popular on this website, according to the visitor’s statistics. But they’re not for everybody, since not everybody has a Linux machine, or the willingness to work with Linux. That’s why this post is especially for all the Windows users out there. We’re going to be building our own, private, World of Warcraft server with PlayerBots, using AzerothCore, ON WINDOWS!

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! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qak6a9alQB8

Progress in Tomb of Sargeras

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI33vBXFsj4

Real Rancour – Hans Teeuwen

He’s back! And I mean, HE’S REALLY BACK! Hans Teeuwen performs a show for an audience of Brits and it works. It is great to see. And FUCK YEAH we’re Dutch! See us damned! And FUCK THE FRENCH! Oh that feels good. Very therapeutic. Oh, it’s on Netflix by the way. So go and see that!

Disable IPv6 on Ubuntu 16.04 Permanently

If you want IPv6 disabled permanently on an Ubuntu 16.04 system, here’s a good way to do it. Disabling it like this should keep it disabled permanently, even after performing updates that could potentially enable it again without you knowing it. I haven’t tested it, so I’m not 100% certain, but if you decide to upgrade Ubuntu to 16.10 or the most recent version, it should still have ipv6 disabled…

My dad hasn’t seen Breaking Bad

Today, I found out that my dad has NOT seen Breaking Bad (yet). Even though I mentioned the show numerous times to both my parents and tried to convince them to at least try and see for themselves if they would like it or not. The fact that my dad has never done so, is, as you will all understand, totally unacceptable. Now I know that he’s mostly just interested…

Wi-Fi networks on WAP321

Wi-Fi networks on WAP321

I own a Cisco WAP321 wireless access point, and it’s a pretty neat device because it allows you to create multiple different (separated) Wi-Fi networks. For home use, that option is not really very interesting. Well unless you want guests in your house to use a different Wi-Fi network so that they won’t stumble upon your file server and find your huge collection of ‘out of the ordinary’ weird, cheap,…

How to install MP4Box on Ubuntu 16.04

MP4Box is a multimedia packager, with a vast number of functionalities: conversion, splitting, hinting, dumping and others. It can be used for performing many manipulations on multimedia files like AVI, MPG, TS, but mostly on ISO media files (e.g. MP4, 3GP). It is a command-line tool so it can be utilized by scripts like the PHP script that I want to use. MP4Box is included in the GPAC package.

Fresh Meat

Finally!! I’ve found a new show to binge. It’s been a while since I did some serious binging. Might be weeks, perhaps even months! Hallelujah Netflix, praise you internet, thank you mother Data for bringing me Fresh Meat. British shows always need a bit more time to warm up to. I believe this is because British shows usually choose to let the viewers get acquainted with the characters because that…
