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? The video below shows all the previous World of Warcraft Expansion cinematics in chronological order, including the very first one from 2004.

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 an excellent sci-fi series, I would advise you choose to watch The Expanse. You will binge-watch …

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 ancient 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 it …

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. Furthermore, he is an intelligent young man, with a great sense of humor, and he also carries the ADHD label …

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 …
