Saving these youtube keywords for future reference. This update was added in later (Obviously since it applies to my 10k an hour guide before it was even released. This is just a super sekret update and if you see it that means you were super cool and browsing the old updates on my website). Anyway, for the future when I will need these again, here are the keywords.

Almar, Almarsguides, Almars Guides, gold farming guide, money making, paladin, shaman, druid, death knight, warrior, rogue, thorium, obsidium, runecloth, netherweave cloth, frostweave, volatile air earth fire water life, Botanica, LBRS, UBRS, Lower Blackrock Spire, Upper Blackrock Spire, UP, Utgarde Pinnacle, Hobbs, Tarou, wow, world of warcraft, 10k an hour guide

           So, I'm super excited about this updatefor many different reasons, one is because I have finally started the videos for my massive farming guide that is coming out very soon! Second, I have found my first stalker fan! I'm shocked it took this long to find my first stalker fan but boy oh boy am I excited. Now, this all started with the release of my book, Drylor The First Artifact. I made a post on the WoW forums, so you could imagine I would attract the world's greatest trolls but this guy has taken it to an all new creepy level. (Which I love).

           He has wrote 3 reviews on Amazon about my book, giving them all 1 star each and 2 of them being removed, the first for harassment and the second for plagiarism. I can't get enough of how this guy keeps coming back to give my book 1 star ratings. I mean, a day after a review gets taken down he pops up with another one, Hell, "I" don't even check my own book that much, talk about serious stalker qualities! Below is his newest best review.

           His name is SameWaveDifferentStyle and I do highly recommend that you take his advice and do some googling, I mean I tried to find a free copy of my book on the internet for hours and I couldn't find a single thing. One of his earlier plagiarism reviews had this exact blob of text which he changed himself to include spelling mistakes, grammar errors, sentence fragments and such.

SPOILER ALERT:
Found a free copy on-line.. How in the world were you able to read it with the miss-spellings and the horrible writing?

At first glance, Von notices over ten gnolls at the camp. Tree of them are standing over Pelisus, who is still sound asleep. Te other gnolls are busy examining Von’s sword, celebrating over how much it will sell for back in Cathunder, the gnoll capital. When Von turns back to look at Pelisus, he is given a second to examine the creatures.
Te gnolls are very primitive creatures. Tey are no taller four feet, and they share a striking resemblance to a dog. Tey have dark brown hair that covers the majority of their body and an indented nose. Teir ears are arched in a pyramid coming off the top of their head, almost like that of a bat. When it comes to wearing armor, gnolls have to have it custom made since no other races’ armor will fit them. Tis results in many of the gnolls just wearing loin cloths to cover up their important private areas.

           Now, he claims to have found that free copy online, which is quite funny because if you google ANY of the sentences he has in that little bit the only thing that comes up is his post on the WoW forums when he claims to have found a free copy online. Apparently this guy doesn't know how easy it is to confirm what he says:

<../../img src="Almar's Stuff/Google Search Results.jpg" width="600" height="255" />

           If you check out the WoW forums someone fixed what he plagiarised and posts what the book actually says:

"Von awakes the following morning by a gnoll forcefully pulling him up off the ground. The second Von feels the hand on his arm, he reaches for his sword, but the gnolls moved it beforehand. Von tries to shout out to Pelisus, but before he can, a hand is thrown over his mouth. Von throws his head back to try and hit whatever has ahold of him, but he is unsuccessful. His attempt to escape just angers the gnoll more, causing him to squeeze tighter and growl into Von’s ear.

This results in many of the gnolls just wearing loin cloths to cover up their important private areas. "

           After reading what the book actually says he freaks and goes into over-drive insult mode and tries to rip apart my writing by remaking it into his own, (What is that illegal word for stealing an author's work and making it your own without giving any credit to the original author at all? It's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't think of it....). (But I won't complain about this part cause it's cool)

“As the early morning sun shows through the clearing Von is jerked awake by an unknown assailant; violently pulling him from his bedroll. He instinctively reaches for the well-worn grip of his trusted sword, only to find it missing from its resting place.”

           To be honest, I kind dig what he wrote, It is actually well thought out and put together. I mean if he actually read the story (which he claims to have) a few of the descriptive elements just don't work but other than that It is a really good sentence and I enjoyed it. God forbid he reads that though, his ego will grow three times bigger. One thing he doesn't understand though is I never claimed to be an amazing writer or the best writer, in fact I claim to be extremely far from it. I'm just starting out with my career, this is my second book ever.

           Of course everything won't be perfect and it will take a super long time for me to actually perfect my writing, the one thing I am trying to do though is keep my writing style different than other authors. My books will always be different, I like being different, I am different. Even though it will never appeal to a giant crowd like some of the famous authors out there, I'd like to appeal to a different group of people than they do.

           Back on topic though, you're probably wondering how I know that is him from WoW and not just some other 12 year old child with daddy issues. Well, if you google SameWaveDifferentStyle, you will find reviews on Amazon from him on WoW products. A few of them were rated down so badly that you need to click "Ok, I would like to see this comment", apparently someone isn't liked very much, huh?

           Also he starts off all of his insults to me with "Ryan," so it is quite easy to find him if you take his advice and do a little bit of googling to find his troll posts. If any of you want to help me out and actually enjoy the book I have wrote, feel free to click No for "Was this review helpful to you?" and "Report Abuse" to get it taken down again (going on number 3 now) if you actually want to help me out. Of course, if you've bought the book and you're not going to lie for me or even against me, feel free to write a review on Amazon too.

           Also for what it's worth, here is the whole entire first chapter of my book which I have taken out of the pdf file for my book. This should make it even easier to see that what he says about numerous spelling mistakes and such is just a load of junk. I had two editor's look this book and the second one didn't find a single spelling mistake in the first chapter, as SameWaveDifferentStyle implies there are "numerous" of them.

Note: I tried to copy and paste it out of the pdf but it was taking too long and formatting was being all funky, so instead here are pictures taken directly from the PDF of the entire first chapter

That's about it for Drylor The First Artifact - First Chapter's free preview.

           Good lord, that took a lot longer than I thought it would but finally I managed to get it done... There you go though, read the first chapter for yourself though and you can tell how wrong SameWaveDifferentStyle is on Amazon. Oh, and if any of you guys do write a review on my book please make sure to add the truth about his review. Tell them where you read the first chapter, from an actual reliable source and what you thought of it. I'm not going to comment/post a review on Amazon because I refuse to stoop down to his level of immaturity because that is exactly what he expects of me. (Even though Amazon recommends I make a comment when I called them and asked to have his review removed).

           Well, not much of an update today, just here typing while I wait for my X-box to download an update so I can play Dead Space... But, I am very very close to being done my WoW guide, the big one that I have been working on forever. I've been working on this thing for so long that I am extremely excited for it's release and am confident that it will propel me to a new height for my website. Aside from this guide, I have also started some work on my new book, Drylor The Second Artifact.

           For those of you that liked my first Drylor book, this one will be over twice as long (I hope) and will also cover an entirely new part of the world. After my guide comes out I will post a free preview of my new book for those of you interested!

           I haven't done an actual update in quite awhile so I figured I'd do one right now since I am bored. I am working on the biggest guide right now of my career, let's just say that I figured out a way to make an insane amount of gold in WoW, something no one will be able to top for years to come. The guide on how to do this is going to be huge, length wise that is. I'm going to make and narrate (first time, I know) dozens of videos to explain this to the best of my abilities.

           As many of my followers know I am one of the more under ground guide makers for WoW. Not many people know of me and instead other guide makers which cover 90% less content then I do and mostly just steal my locations after I upload them take all of the credit. I am hoping this guide will change everything and propel me to the top, where truthfully, I belong.

           Later next week I may post a few sneak previews of this guide but I don't want to give anything away until I am 100% done it. The one thing I will say though is keep your eyes out for this guide. Check back here daily and also subscribe to me on youtube. You'll know when this guide goes live because the amount of controversey it will create will be astounding. And the people who actually use the guide and don't QQ saying it is impossible will laugh at everyone else for making 50k or more in a single day.

           As promised before from his previous mentioning in trade, here is another funny clip that I just couldn't help but share:

           Someone that can't spell Geared, is looking for a "3rd healers" and also can't spell Resilience is not going to get very far when it comes to this game. Anyway, I hope that did good for your daily laugh.

Note: "Point of the jokes" When looking for someone for something that actually takes a little bit of intelligence to accomplish it is generally best to show that you aren't a complete moron. Proper spelling and sentence structure usually does wonders in helping you look like you may actually have something in that noggin.

           So today I am just doing an update to show two funny pictures that I have managed to take today. One is a picture of two gladiator Netherdrakes... Well... uhm... I think you can kind of guess why I took the picture just from looking at it:

           I was going to do something funny and creative with my Gladiator Netherdrake too but I couldn't think of a position that would make what I saw even more hilarious. As for the second picture that I have for you today... Just goes to show the pure idiocy and amount of irony that is taking over this game....

           If you can't figure out what is wrong in that picture than I feel sorry for you too. For even more laughs look him up on armory (Arthas server) and look at his gear/talent specs. Also I'll try to get another screen shot of him when he offers to carry healers to 2200+ for 100g a win for even more laughs.

           Well, I haven't updated the main page of my website in awhile so I figured I would get around to doing that right now since I have some free time. I have been rather busy recently with work (book and website) I have gotten a great farming location for WoW up, Verlok Stand in Deepholm which can pull in close to 2k an hour if you know what you're doing. Below is one of the videos I have included for this location.

           Anyway, I will be adding a ton of WoW locations over the next few weeks so all my WoW fans should stick around and keep up to date with my locations. I am currently working on Herbalism paths for each zone in Cataclysm as well as Alchemy money making guides. You can check the Farming Locations tab under WoW for all my new locations. If you would like to visit the new page for the best farming location WoW click here.
