I found it really strange how the PC monk seemed so bad (heard a lot of people on youtube/forums complaining about it), but on console i find it to be one of the better builds.

When you got RoS, what exactly happened to characters that had paragon levels?

They're banned here, for some really odd reason. I don't think you can have them imported either, because it will get confiscated at customs (and you might have to pay a hefty fine as well). I think the only way to get one is to buy one if you just so happen to travel abroad. Are the taxes on tobacco high where you live? That might be a reason. I'm actually not sure what the tax rate on it is. From what i know there's something like a 30% import duty and that's it. Average pack of cigarettes costs around $2.50 (Marlboro, Dunhill, etc). But yeah i always had a theory that the reason they don't want to sell e-cigarettes was because people would stop buying cigarettes which is an extremely profitable business here seeing as probably half the country smokes and because people would smoke in malls etc. We already have people smoking in malls at like a Starbucks/Costa, etc. They use the little "No Smoking" signs on the table as an ashtray...

At 7am it was already 35C outside. It's 11:30 now, i'm dying to have a cigarette but i'm too scared to go outside. I don't want to like...melt or something.

The thing is i've been in relationships before where there was a lot more trust. Actually, when i was with her the first time (before we both went to different states for Uni) things were different. I would go out with my female friends and she would never bat an eye. She didn't really know any of them either. She just didn't say anything. It's just ever since we got back together. I'm not sure if an ex cheated on her or something, we don't talk about that kind of stuff (i have no interest to hear about her past boyfriends to be honest). But yeah, some of my other relationships were a lot different. A lot more trust, even in the young stages of the relationship. Generally it should be different. Trust should come with time, not get less with time. And when it comes to what i want... Well i don't know what i'll want in the future, but right now i want what i currently have except WITH trust. She's really perfect for me otherwise. This weekend was X-Games in Austin and for the first time ever they had competitive Call of Duty as an event. I love watching competitive CoD, so she spent the entire weekend with me, watching it with me. She tried getting into it as much as she could, got excited, etc. That's something i can't even do with my guy friends.

Me and my girlfriend had out 13 month anniversary yesterday, and i think this might have been our last too. It was a fun night. We went out for dinner at one of the hotels, went somewhere else for desert and a drink, then went back home to watch a movie and stuff. This morning when i talked to her she asked me if she could get my facebook password because she wanted to enter a competition. She enters a lot of competitions and always asks me to do the same, and usually i just can't be bothered so i guess she figured she'd just do it for me (which i really have no problem with). I don't really use my facebook at all (think in the past 3 months i've been on it 5 times for a few minutes each time), so i gave her my details. I kind of knew that she didn't just want to go on my facebook for that, so after she got off i asked her about it. Not my exact words, but basically asked her why she didn't trust me, and why she couldn't just be honest about why she wanted my login details. Told her that i felt kind of betrayed, as i haven't done anything thus far to show that i'm not untrustworthy/unfaithful. She explained to me that some of the things i sometimes say are very sketchy, and that they sometimes make her wonder. She also told me that i have very specific routines (which i do), and when i break them it raises suspicion. She told me that she's kind of felt this way ever since NYE, and i'll explain why. So on NYE we went to a house party for a bit. I met this woman (feel weird calling a 33 year old a girl). She seemed nice, friendly, etc. At the time i didn't realise it, but she was flirting a with me a lot. She told me that she was an Engineer working on the new Airport project, and i mentioned that i was in the final stretch of getting my Airline Pilot's license. She told me to give her my number and she'll try and hook my up with some of the people in the Airline, see if she can help me out a bit, etc. I kind of assumed this was a sincere offer, saw nothing more, so i gave her my number. Two days later i realised that this wasn't actually the reason she wanted my number because she sent me a message on whatsapp saying she felt a strong sexual attraction to me and that if i ever wanted to go over to her house for some fun she'd be happy. Obviously i never told my girlfriend this, but i guess she kind of suspected something like this happened anyway as i avoided talking about this woman as much as i could (and i still do, to be honest). But even still, i never gave my girlfriend any reason to doubt me. She was kind of annoyed at the fact that i didn't just tell this girl to [bleep]-off on the first night, but i figured that if she was actually able to help me out it would be good. Every little bit helps. So anyway back to today... I told her that i wasn't mad, or angry that she didn't trust me but rather just disappointed (or hurt). She told me that this is he way she is with everyone and then i told her that you're not really supposed to treat your boyfriend like you treat everyone else. Maybe i'm being unrealistic about expecting some sort of special treatment? She explained to me that she's been like this for the past 2 years, she doesn't feel like she can trust anyone, etc. I went on to explain to her that i'm not going to pay for someone else's mistakes. Just because someone in her past might have [bleep]er her over, doesn't mean i'm going to do the same thing first chance i get. And i believe i've showed her this over the past 13 months. I've trusted her with a lot of things, and i still do (did until today i guess), and she hasn't shown me the same kind of trust. After i've been the one that's always looked out for her since the day i met her 4 years ago. Since i've always been there for her when she needed someone to talk to (even when we weren't dating). I've never accessed her facebook, i've never gone through her phone, and i've never had the desire to do either. I trust that she's not going to do anything behind my back, and i trust that if she did she would be smart enough not to keep any evidence (i told her this). I told her that this is going to be a major issue one day when i start working. If i have to travel out and spend a night in a different country i can't have her sitting up all night thinking i'm busy cheating on her. I want to be with someone that trusts me enough to lock me up on a room full of horny, sex-deprived supermodels and trust that i wouldn't do anything. So in conclusion i told her that a relationship without trust means nothing. If i'm going to shackle myself to one person (for the rest of my life?) then i want to do so with someone that i can trust, but more importantly someone that shows me the same trust. That i wasn't willing to pay for the mistakes of someone else. That she can't tell people we have complete trust in each other, when she has zero trust in me. I can't be with someone that makes me feel like i have to be so careful about what i say, or breaking my routine because she's going to think i'm either lying to her, or late because i'm busy [bleep]ing someone else. I didn't tell her that i was going to break up with her, and right now i'm not sure if i am yet. I have major exams coming up (when i eventually manage to get myself a god damn VISA for Greece), so i want to avoid as much drama till then as i can. I know we won't be discussing this topic for at least a few weeks, which is exactly what i need right now. But the way i see it i'm going to give her till the end of my exams and see how things are then. If things have changed, then good. If they haven't... well then there's only one thing to do. It's strange, but every aspect of our relationship is perfect except for this. And although it's probably not the biggest issue, it still is at the same time. Maybe i'm making a bigger deal out of this than i should? I'm not sure. That's why i'm still kind of unsure how i really feel about all of this. It's kind of like i'm confused about it, but at the same time i really feel like it's not a big deal, yet a part of me feels like it is a big deal (and that i should be a big deal). It actually got me thinking, for the first time in maybe 2 years, that i want to go back to being single for a while and just have some fun. EDIT: I just kind of realised how ironic this whole situation is. Firstly, about a month ago my friend and his girlfriend had a fight the one night and we were talking about it. I told him that night that relationships are all about who can be the bigger hypocrite and get away with it. I think i just proved my own point. Secondly, and this ties in with the whole trust/hypocrite thing, few months ago i started letting my girlfriend use my car when i didn't need it. I loved my car more than any living thing on earth just because of how much work i put into it. It was also my first German. She knew how much i loved this car and that i would cry if it even got a scratch on it, but i still let her use it because i trusted she would take care of it the same way i would. She wrecked it about a month or two after i started letting her use it. I didn't say anything, i didn't care that the car was now only 1/4th of a German, i was just happy that she got away from it without a scratch. I trusted her even though i didn't want to, and she's not really giving me the same thing in return. Hah...

I'm so [bleep] excited right now. ROS is coming to Console (new and old gen) on Aug 19th. OMF.

I'm not saying anyone deserves to get hacked, and i'm not saying you're an idiot if you get hacked. Sorry if i made it seem that way. Like i said, it sucks. I can't even imagine what i would feel if i had lost what he lost. It's just a game, but it's real hours and real time invested. You don't just lose pixels, you also lose a lot of time invested. However... as far as i'm aware (and i might be partially/completely wrong) when you request a recovery for an account certain questions need to be answered: Account creation date. ISP the account was created on. Most recent/current ISP. Billing information such as receipt number (or something along those lines). Old passwords ( i think you can provide up to 3). Current/Most recent password. 5 Recover questions (or you could tick the "i didn't create these" box). Have you moved recently (or something like that). And then there's a small box to put some extra information to help speed up the process. Sure enough the majority of these questions can be answered with access to someone's e-mail. But some of them can't. I don't think there's any way of knowing the creation date of an account unless you tell someone. Same goes for old passwords. This goes for whether you're trying to recover it using the recovery page on the site or if you try recovering it via accountsupport/billingsupport. This is the process i had to follow every time i recovered an account. But like i said, i might be wrong about this. I'm sure there's also ways to recover accounts by just relentlessly sending jagex qq emails.

They shouldn't. No regular player would get their items back, top 15 players shouldn't get special privileges. Incase you wasn't aware, they tried out a thing where they refunded hijacked accounts items, for a while, but something went wrong and they put a few million too many archer rings on some guys acc and it made them crash. So it's not special privileges, just a new thing they have been trying out, if someone gets hijacked for all their shit they deserve to get it given back, regardless of if they're top 15 or top 150,000 No they do not "deserve to get it given back". I'm sorry but keeping your account secure is very simple. I've been playing for 8 years or so and i've never had anyone access my account unless i allowed it. You can't try and say that it's because i'm not "known" enough because enough of the "wrong kind of people" knew who i was when staking was still big and stakers still sold a lot. It sucks that he got hacked, but if you're going to be careless (even though you're unaware that you're being so), then you have to expect that it's going to happen at some point. It's not that hard to keep things secure.

My absolute favorite thing on earth. Sadly the only place i've found here that makes it really good only makes it on certain days, and those days change whenever they feel like it.

I'm not sure if it's going to be here, truth be told. I read a few months ago that they wanted to change the location of the WC (i think to Australia) because of the extreme heat in the summers here. WC takes place at pretty much the hottest time in the country, with temperatures averaging around 47 Celsius i would guess and going up to the mid 50's easily. FIFA was unwilling to change the month in which the WC takes place (which completely understand) and thus wanted to give the WC to Aus instead. But if they did that, FIFA would have had to re-reimburse Qatar and i hardly doubt FIFA can afford to reimburse them the $2.5b-odd they spent. But last night my dad was telling me that apparently some of the Qatari officials bribed some of the African nations to gain their votes and that FIFA are now trying to use this as a way to take the WC away from them. That being said though, this country is going to have to change a lot over the next 8 years if they want to have a successful WC. Road-safety being one major issue in my opinion. Also they will have to make it easier to obtain a VISA as well as make alcohol more accessible to the public including being more lenient with where you can and can't drink. It's going to be interesting to say the least.

Not a very good day. So i planned on writing my exams in Greece this month (17th - 23rd of June). I had some trouble enrolling for the exams because i had to wait a while to get the schedule. I finally got it last week Thursday, so today i decided to to to the Greek Embassy to apply for a VISA. I figured 2 weeks would be more than enough time, cause last time i got a Visitor's VISA it only took me 3 days. So 2 weeks should me more than enough, right? So the guy tells me that i'll actually need a student VISA. He gives me the application along with a list of documents i'll need to provide with it. This list included the usual medical certificate to ensure i'm not going to go there and spread my plague, syphilis, tb, yellow fever, etc. a police clearance proving i don't have a criminal record, proof of medical insurance for the duration of my stay, bank statements, and so on. All of that seemed pretty fair and easy to obtain except for the police clearance. Since i'm not a resident of Qatar, i'll have to provide them with a South African police clearance. Few years ago when my dad changed jobs he had to get the same thing, and it took him 3 months to get it. So i imagine that it would take me no less than that. So already i was a bit annoyed. Then it turns out that the guy completely misunderstood what i was asking for. He thought i planned on going there, staying there for x-months, and flying there. My only plan is to go there for a week, write my exams and then come back. So i though problem solved. I phoned them a few minutes later (i was already half way back home at this time) and asked told the same guy that i actually just needed to apply for a Visitor's VISA and his response was kind of weird, and to be honest i'm still confused by it. He said something along the lines of: "I can't give you a VISA with the current situation." So i asked him when i will be able to apply for one to which he responded "When the time comes we'll talk about it." ??????????????? So agitated... I've had to cancel my exams 4 times now because of stupid things beyond my control. 4 Months of wasting time. Tomorrow i am going back the the embassy and i'll just have to ask to speak to someone that doesn't speak in riddles. Hopefully i can manage to at least apply for one, and hopefully it doesn't take more than 3 weeks. I already accepted that i'll miss the exams for June, but hopefully i can get the VISA sorted and ready for July. It's going to be a close call though, cause on the 26th the embassy closes for the entire month of Ramadan. And on my way back home i was almost in an accident. Some guy in a pick-up tried turning left in a lane that only allows you to go straight, with me on his left also going straight. This was in/at a round-about. So we we're exactly going super fast but just fast enough. I had to slam on my breaks, he had to slam on his breaks and swerve out. He ended up driving over the curb, hitting a lamp post. I stopped my car, jump out and ran to his cat just to make sure he was okay. He starts yelling at me and swear at me, telling me i'm blind, i can't drive, etc. He grabs my by the neck and lift a clenched fist at me. I'm just kinda standing there thinking "I dare you." A Traffic Police officer comes running over and without even saying anything just pushed this guy. He flies through the air, gets up. They start talking in Arabic, and i'm just kinda standing around wondering what to do. So after they were done talking the cop comes over to me and tells me everything is fine he saw everything happening so i just need to come to the police station and sign a few papers. The other guy started walking back to his car but was stopped before he got far. Cop put him in cuffs and started pushing him back to the police car. He asked the cop on duty with him to go move the car, and call someone to come replace him, and we were off. I'm not really sure what happened to the guy, but when we got the the police station my friend was on duty. He told me to just sign the papers and i can go home he'll take care of the rest. He called me back a while later and told me i'll find out what happened to the guy tomorrow, they need to wait for the Captain to come on duty and he's only going to be on duty tomorrow morning. And to top it all off, when i got home i was locked out. I forgot the key to the gate in my room. I tried ringing the door bell but the maids probably didn't hear it cause the doorbell is shit and half broken. It was a lovely 47c outside, so i decided to jump the wall... the 10ft wall... My shirt get's caught on the little lamp thin on the wall and rips completely off my back. A shirt i only bought 3 days ago. And i likes it... a lot. And someone also ate my lunch. I made some food just before i left for the embassy and when i got home it was gone. So i had to make myself a sandwich and the only thing i had to put on it was Peanut butter that started separating. At least i know tomorrow is going to be a lot better than today.

Finally managed to get a prescription of Adderall Xr today. Cost me a whopping $1 for a whole month. Gotta love this country. Would have been closer to $200 anywhere else.

Sorry, I don't get it. Was she alright? She's Muslim lol. No one except her husband and like direct family can see her without her abaya and hijab on. I even tried my best not to let my eyes wander in her direction. Didn't want to like offend them or something.

Just came home to find 3 Firetrucks, 7 Police Cars and a whole lot of civilian cars parked outside my house. Asked the neighbor if everything was alright but he seemed pretty dismissive. Probably because his wife was in the car and didn't have her face covered. Hope everything is fine.

Lol yeah. In some places the roads aren't all the great. Especially in the "older" parts of the country. And luckily the car insurance was full coverage, and the kind of insurance he had was amazing too. If the car's damage is over a certain amount, they pay for it entirely. If the car is either totaled or written off as totaled, the entire pay for current market value. It's great for cars that cost a bit more to repair because i think once the damage on the car goes over $3000 you're fully covered, but anything below that you have to pay 50% of it or something. I'm not 100% sure but it's something like that. So at least he's covered in that sense. I think even the customizations he made to the car (the body kit, the wheels, and a $2500 stereo system) is going to be covered. but i'm not sure. It's just the fact that he's going to have to re-do everything that's annoying him. It took him about 3 months to sort everything out last time.

I actually started playing Torchlight 2 like a week and a half ago and 2 days ago i switched back to Diablo for some strange reason. i have D3 on Xbox so i guess i just wanted to play something on console again. Anyway i've been doing my first Inferno playthrough using a Witch Doctor. Man... I sucked the first few hours. So many deaths it was insane. But i think i finally found a pretty good setup. I don't die nearly as often as i used to. Think i'm getting the hang of things now. Also realised my lack of "research" on the game has caused me to miss out on so many things that could have made my time a bit more pleasant. And i've wasted so much money the past 2 days on crafting gear... Until i found out that it's actually not a very good idea. Oh well you live and you learn. I'm still learning stuff on ROS, PC version and i have almost 200hours combined on my characters. The game is insane once you start min/maxing at level 70 torments, i'm having a great time trying to find a build that is viable for torment 2-3. I watched some RoS footage on Youtube yesterday, for the first time. It actually looks really good. It's kinda sad that they're never gonna bring something like that to the old gen Consoles. I might just have to get Diablo on PC at some point. But the thought of starting over again is just putting me off.

You know the funniest thing is earlier the night we were talking about how slow he has to go over even the smallest of speed bumps because of how low his car is and how inconveniently high some of the bumps are.

Tonight we had to say goodbye to my friend's car. Kind of shitty what happened as well. It was about 11 Pm and we were on our way to a shisha "bar" (actually a restaurant but a shisha restaurant doesn't quite seem right). Anyway we were taking some back roads to avoid traffic. We get on to a road we usually take, but one we haven't been on for about a week or so. So we're driving (we were 7 people so we we actually had to go in 3 different cars since his car and my car aren't really made for more than 2 people). He was driving in the front followed by me and then my other friend following behind. We're just driving, around 80kmph. All of a sudden i see his car flying up in the air, crashes back to the ground and a second or two later comes to a standstill. I slam on my breaks, friend behind me slams on his. We get out and run towards his car. On the way there we notice a speed bump. So basically what happened is some time during the past 2 weeks they put a speed bump there and never bothered painting it (like 90% of the speed bumps in the country). The road is poorly lit as well due to no street lights and even with the best headlights you only see it once you're pretty much on top of it. I'm no car expert but from what i could see the front of the car didn't look all that great. And from what the guy from the towing company said the car will never drive again, lol. He has (used to have i guess) a BMW M5 Widebody. Also had it lowered a bit (or slammed, idk what the correct term is) so it was only about 5 or 6 inches off the ground, so that didn't help the situation either. What's worse is that he's only had it for 3 and a half weeks. I feel so bad for him. Also i'm kind of sad that we never got round to having our shisha.

Don't know about The Witcher 1, but i have the second and it's really great. Took me a while to get in to it, but once the game picked up a bit it was really fun.

I think it's a pretty good update. The pets look cool. After buying the Spear and 2 new Necklaces i still have 2.3m tokens left. I'm thinking about getting one of the pets. Not sure which one though.

Lol 30 is... heat? It's been constantly 40+ here the past week or two and it's not even summer yet. To be honest i've never cared to much about how hot it gets, its just when it starts getting to 80% + humidity i feel like it's a bit too much.

Well, things aren't going to better with an attitude like that.
