Valdez

I forgot to mention it's reinforced with asbestos! It's fire-retardant, and by punching it you released numerous asbestos particles into the air! Now you'll get Mesothelioma in 35-45 years and die a painful death!

I'll be there. Oh wait. I'm poor. Nevermind! I will, however, be sending down a life-size cardboard cutout of myself. I'll attatch once of those voice recorder thingies to it and make some recordings of me singing! It'll be better than RL me because you'll be able to hit the "Stop" button when you want me to STFU! =)

OMG Lootgains the Valordin is back?

It was, and I too am glad you guys took me back with open arms. I still have that thing floating in the bank somewhere, it will NEVER get dusted or vendored. Ever.

I need to find some good screenshots of the ol' DM gang. I have a few of you dead but nothing really worth posting.

A compliation of old screenshots I found. WAY back in the day when I was running SM and co-leader of Golden Eagle Trading Co. with Scrapes. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8121/getcodezsmgearqo7.jpg Me and my slow mount. Still in the GETCO Days. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7604/getcodezonhorsefy3.jpg Oldschool Dez and Uther. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5826/olddezandutherjh3.jpg Tammy and Panda violating my corpse. http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5972/dezandtammyqi9.jpg Full Lawbringer Dez http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/9407/lawbringerdezes2.jpg Full Lawbringer Dez in ACTION! http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6124/dezandrabitnd4.jpg Beorn's thoughts on Paladin Talent changes. http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/9414/beorncommentslh0.jpg Finally, Full Judgement Dez once again paying a tribute to Uther. http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/1807/judgementdezandutherns5.jpg World of Warcraft is the first MMORPG I've ever played. Before this I was playing mostly RTS games mixed with a lot of Diablo II and some good ol' Counter-Strike. Alex (or Scrapes as you know him), my best friend since Kindergarden started telling me about this "WoW" thing. After a lot of coaxing I went and picked up a copy. We originally rolled on Shadowsong, a PvE server. I leveled a paladin up to 30 when Alex and I discovered that another best friend of ours Steve (or Tegrin as you may know him, a druid currently in WBC formerly from Vind) was on a PvP server. Alex and I brought our computers over to his house one day and he convinced us to reroll on Skullcrusher. Thus, Valdez was born. When I started playing I never thought that a game such as this would be able to hold my attention for so long, I have ADD like whoa if you haven't noticed. In my teens I was recruited by a guild called Azure Knights. I stayed there for awhile until Alex and I decided to start a guild on our own. Golden Eagle Trading Co. was born on this day, a casual guild for people to come hang out, help each other, and not much else. Quite a few members have ended up in FP (Malkoran and Bungle, I think there's more but I can't think of them right now). We held onto that guild as long as we could, but there really wasn't a whole lot of interest by a majority of the members. Eventually I decided that I wanted to be a part of something larger than my small, casual guild. I started talking to some friends, and the warrior formerly known as Princessdydx told me about this guild called Forgotten Prophets. I had never heard of them at this point, but I was still in my low 50's and didn't have much experience with people outside of GETCO. He told me to talk to some guy named Ecthelion and I might be able to get in. That's exactly what I did, and that's how Dez ended up in Forgotten Prophets. Since that day I joined, I've truely felt like this is a home. During all of 2005 and the first part of 2006 I've been stuck at home working and going to a local community college. Just about all of my friends were away at school or something, and FP soon became a family to me. I remember my first MC run when I picked up those shiny Lawbringer Boots (I'm supprised they're not worn out by now), and I remember saying to myself "Raiding is AWESOME! PHAT L3WTS OMGz!". That's when I was hooked on raiding. Although boring at times, the game isn't the reason I play. It's the people. I guarentee if I hadn't ended up in Forgotten Prophets the game would have soon run out of value and I would have moved onto something else. Last night, as many of you know, I finally obtained my Judgement Boots, thus completing my Judgement Set. The fact that I was finally 8/8 didn't really hit me until today when I felt nostalgic and started going through old screenshots and remembering "the good old days". I began to realize that I've finally accomplished everything I set out to do with Valdez, but it wasn't something I did alone. I'd like to thank each and every member of FP, even if they're not with us anymore. I could not have attained my ub3r pally without the help of all of you, and for that I am grateful. You've become my online family, and I love all of you. Well, maybe not ALL of you (Beorn) but most of you. You've made my time here fantastic, and I apprecaite that more than words can say. No, this isn't a goodbye post. It may have seem like it's been leading up to something like that, but on the contrary. I just felt that I needed to give you all a big "Thank You" for everything that's happened over the past year I've been here in Forgotten Prophets. You can't get rid of me that easily, and although you can try as hard as you'd like, I'll be sticking around for awhile. I mean come on, I need to ensure the WoW economy doesn't crash when I quit wiping raids and no one has repair bills. <3 -Jeff (Dez)

356 is my record so far.

I love it

Wow. I dont know what to say. Esteban, you are the man, you were always able to raise peoples spritis with your crazy antics. We are definitely going to miss you. What the hell did 9 have to say about this? I have a feeling he is going to be taking a trip up to Canada to frostbolt crit you IRL.

What the hell is Resillence?

Rofl

Like the picture said, I was still getting ready. The shirt was off during the party but no pics of that.

RAWR Pictures to come. If\when I can find them. Anywho, the toga party was amazing. I have numerous things drawn in black marker all over my arms\face, and I had a great time. However, now it's almost 7am and that means time for sleep. Indeed. [EDIT] Now that I'm sober, I'm wondering why I put this in the general thread and not in the RL thread. Oh well. Still getting ready for the party and playing with my phone. http://photos-615.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v44/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33664615_1988.jpg Carla decided to draw some fun stuff on my arm. It read "I <3 My C@$# (and everyone elses [i didn't want that last part in there. Really, I just love my own.]) http://photos-616.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v44/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33664616_2431.jpg Carla's Hand, Me, and Steve (Tegrin, a dr00d formerly in Vindictive and now in WBC) in the background. http://photos-617.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v44/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33664617_2844.jpg This is after Winning 2 (and losing 1) games of Beer Pong, the night was drawing to a close, I had nearly finished off my 24 pack of Bud Light, and Carla thought it would be fun to draw on me some more. I was more than slightly intoxicated so I let her go to work. http://photos-621.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v44/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33664621_4519.jpg Fernando is stacking cups here, and Katie (Scrapes's little sister) is talking to some people. http://photos-625.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v44/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33664625_6210.jpg While I'm at it, I think I'll post some more random pics. This is me sideways. I'm sideways because it's hosted in someone elses album on Facebook and they're retarted and couldn't post it like normal. I'm too lazy to rehost it. http://photos-330.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v39/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33513330_8384.jpg Here's me wearing a "Firming Mask". I don't remember why. I do remember thinking "I look amazing right now" as this picture was taken. http://photos-332.ak.facebook.com/ip006/v39/195/108/2361489/n2361489_33513332_2967.jpg Me in the elevator.

You ninja'd my heart when you left.

That's kinda creepy. He forgot to mention the cameras he has hooked up, and the fact that he sells the tapes on e-bay. GG Mr. Pilot.

I lol'd IRL.

Just let us kno who and where. We got your back.

/mourn /cry

Wow. I didn't see this coming. Take care of yourself man, and keep in touch.
