So I'm riding my way to Thunderbluff on the flight path from Moonglade, about to get my level 69 skills. Kenpachi sorta took a little break, although I did find another interesting aspect I can add to his arsenal :) Anyhow, I made the decision to get my alt druid to 70 before the expansion hits, and based on leveling, I think I picked the wrong class to play. The druid is so versatile, just like my EQ shammy, so most likely I will use the druid as my main come the expansion, and have Kenpachi as an alt. I'd still like to release a video for Kenpachi, just getting my druid ready. After that, I'll give a run on his new arsenal to see how well it works, recording too!

So beginning July 18, Japan arcades will get their first taste of the coin-op version of SF IV. The arcade version will include a card system that will save player data, provide access to individual cell phone SF IV web pages, which contain your stats and ranks, and will also be able to create SF IV guilds where you can compete with other guilds. Although the acrade scene in America died out many years ago, there is still a number of venues with acrades, so there is still some hope!

Blizzard Entertainment will now be offering keychain token generation that will be tied to your WoW account. I have this at work which was used to authenticate VPN work emails, but basically, you input the serial no. of the keychain token thingy, then that keychain generates unique codes each time, and you use that code to login to your account. Blizzard are offering these keychains for $6.50. So if you feel the need to add some extra protection to your account, hit the link.
