Ranting (WoW)

Note: Explicit Lyrics

Corpse-Camping
Why the fuck does anybody camp a corpse? Stop being an asshole and go do something else if a person doesn't respawn in a few minutes. You frustrate my wife and you piss me off.
NOTE: If you're 6+ levels higher than your target then you're not just an asshole, you're a bully. Nobody ever liked the bullies in school. You do know that, don't you? You're the guy who has to reform after a couple years so that you can accomplish anything worthwhile in life.

Assuming Shared Etiquette/Loot-Rules
State what the rules are prior to when they are going to be used. Some people do use the built-in Need/Greed rules even for Bind on Pickup. If you Need it, you fucking click the Need button.
I'm fine using other systems, but don't you get on your damned high fucking horse and yell at my wife for making your own damned assumptions. And if you are the only one pissed off, and everybody else is trying to explain it to you/calm the situation down, and you refuse to listen? Up Yours.

Mittens

Occasionally you may read me mentioning that somebody seems to have mittens. I am, in no uncertain terms, saying that they are slow in the brain.

These are the kind of people that have mittens attached to their sleeves year-round.

Ramparts

A Ramparts run should not involve:
3 deaths in the first 3 pulls.
Over an hour of time spent.
A near 100% failure rate on trapping.

We ran it with our hunter friend and 2 of his guild-mates. In total, we had a Protection Paladin (being the healer) played by myself, a Beast Master hunter (as the only crowd-control), and three Demonology Warlocks (one of which was played by my wife).

At the end of the run, we (Goldfire and myself) disbanded from their group and logged off. It wasn't fun, and I have no remorse for those who upset my wife.


Seriously, I need to send my hunter friend a couple pieces of strategy (kiting, trapping with positioning in mind, chain-trapping) and I also need to explain about mittens, because this group had 'em.

What I did over Christmas Break
by Gauntlet

Over Christmas break, I did lots of fun and enjoyable things.

We went to Leavenworth, and bought cheese and fudge. It was snowy and I got a hot chocolate.

We went to Deatholme with our mid-20s hunter and mage and wrecked the place up for our low-20s paladin friend.

The wife and I rented Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga for free (because our Hollywood Video likes to rent us super-scratched movies that we have no hope of viewing) and got 980/1000 gamer points in 5 days. That's everything except playing it online, since neither of us wants to pony up the cash for Gold memberships since it's pointless right now to us.

We went to my brothers and the wife and sister-in-law made Christmas Kringle on Christmas Eve. It was tasty and I liked it.

At our friend's for New Year's Eve we played Rock Band on the PS3. Drumming is hard, and I can't sing along with The Hives very well. Main Offender didn't sound the same as on CD, so I'll have to look into that.


In short (although you've already gone through all the long to get here), vacation was fun.

Sunken Temple Defeated

Moments before going to Outland

So, basically, this post was me finally sharing some shots I've had lying around. A few of which were actually taken so I could talk about them on the blog!

Alright, well... the servers are being maintained right now, so I can't continue leveling my engineering or making enough gold to plow through the Paladin mount quest. I guess I could head in to work or something.

Azeroth in Brief - Follow-up

Strael and Contrae are now both 58, after a successful Sunken Temple run. Our hunter friend, however, is only 57, so we're holding off the Dark Portal run until he dings.

Carry on.

Azeroth in Brief

I keep wanting to grab pics and do a post, but I've been busy. So, I'll just sum things up for now:

• Laheth has his Season 1 Shoulders - They look good, and they were definitely an upgrade. Unfortunately, now that they are on, it highlights that most of the rest of my outfit also looks clownish.
• Strael, Contrae, Hunter-Friend, and Warrior-Friend finally have all their quests ready to delve into the Sunken Temple. Humorously enough, all but the warrior are now at 57, so it should go by really fast. And then we can hit the Outlands, which our hunter friend has never seen.
• Laheth is about a quarter of the way to getting his standard flying mount. Frustrating that as a non-flying, non-fishing, non-cook the only daily quest I have accessible is battlegrounds.
• And there was probably something else I can't think of.

New Armory Listing

I know I was complaining about how long it takes for the site to update but still... I talk about em and I figured you might want to know what I was talking about!

So I'm an alt-aholic... we just added a few of my characters... Just the ones I play the most, not even all my high level ones. I have MANY more! *blush* I play a lot of WoW ^_^

Happy Birthday to Angela!!!
There, with that said... I hope you are having a fantastic day out there on your day off! Enjoy it shopping or doing something just as fun!! ^_^

The WoW Armory is really slow to updating. Strael and Contrae are around level 55 now! I even respec'd out of affliction (but I kept the insta-cast Corruption). Gonna get a new pet. We'll see how I like it. Also, saving up mats to make my new Robe of the Void. I sure hope it's worth it! Got most of it except I need 15 more demonic runes and tons more essence of undeath. Anyone wanna donate an essence or 3?

Shoulders for Laheth

~2000 honor and 4 Arathi Basin marks of honor left to obtain. I just can't stomach any more AB tonight, and the honor will come much easier from pretty much anything else.

Also, I'm counting this as my final NaBloPoMo post (since I started a day late) even though I missed one, and it's short because I'm not sure I'll have a chance to post again today.

In the words of Yakko Warner: G'night everybody!
