Apex will be carrying out a publicity stunt stream test in our weekly CC25 heroic raid tomorrow (Sunday 22nd Nov).  The stream will include multiple PoVs from:

1. Tonberry (Shadow priest)
2. Flaps (Arms Warrior)
3. Tweat (Healer priest)

I’ll post the link tomorrow as soon as it’s up – we should be starting as usual around 16:00 server time (CET), which is 15:00 GMT/UTC.  Although we often start these raids a few minutes late.  Be sure to tune in so you can either be there when we kill insanity for the 4th week in a row or take the piss when we inevitably crumble under the pressure and fuck it all up

I’d love to be on that streaming list above too, but unfortunately I live in a fucking backward country where the best upload speed I can hope to get, while not living inside a major metropolis, would be woefully inadequate to live stream without game lag.

It’s a bit off topic but some of you might have seen stuff about the new ‘Digital Britain‘ law details being published recently which was designed as a package of measures to boost digital industry in the UK.  But apparently it’s far more important to stomp all over anyone who might dare to download a TV show than to produce legislation to boost our, quite frankly dire, digital infrastructure.  While you have forward thinking countries like Sweden, Norway and Spain making (or considering making) it a legal requirement for it’s citizens to have access to greater broadband connectivity and capacity – we in the UK are still mostly using Victorian era telephone wiring.  Pretty disgusting that the country which was the birthplace for most of the modern telecommunication inventions (along with the world wide web itself) which make it possible for the internet to exist as it does today can barely offer 1/3 of it’s citizens >2mbit connection speeds. No, no it’s much more important that we disconnect people sharing that episode of top gear in a guilty until proven innocent process run by the content rights holders themselves.  Luckily some people are fighting back on this, these people will be known to all as ‘the ones with common sense’.  The fact that the guy spearheading this abolition of cyber civil rights isn’t even a fucking elected official – but just appointed into government having previously been forced to resign more than once for being part of scandal – leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
