From the Hights, to the Depths and back to Hights!

2011-06-09T14:22:00.000-07:00

So most of you are up on what the new pet-challenges are going to be in 4.2. I was hoping for a fire-raven, but no. We got 5 spiders, the owl and two Gondria reskins! (click to wow insider article)

Just know that I'll be recruiting people to take a bullet for me so I can tame: Deth'tilac, The Smoldering Darkness. Literally, several people will need to be willing to give their lives for me. I may be willing to pay you when I find him. XD

And yes, he DOES keep that health-pool once tamed!

I was sad. When I am sad, I do not update as quickly as when I'm excited. Can you tell? X-p

Now, as of today, I AM EXCITED AGAIN. Why? Because there are TWO MORE rares coming and they are very, VERY cool lookin!

See the full article on wowinsider -here-

They are Skarr

who we have coveted since we did those quests for the Oracles in Sholazar!

And

Karkin - who Mathew McCurley has wonderfully dubbed:

"the Ghostcrawler T-1000"

I LUFF THEEM BOTH AND MUST HAVE THEEM!!!

I'm excited again. And you should be too!

I'm sure we'll have video of these guys in the next 24 hours or so. I'll add them here when/if I find them.

Last but NOT LEAST I saw a:

... at work yesterday. Yep, just chillin' in the parkinglot. I consider this an omen of VERY good fortune.

Be glad that our pets in game can never leave us with the following sort of problem -

4.2 is getting cooler by the moment!

2011-06-01T16:59:00.000-07:00

SQUEEEEEEEE!

8 New Rare Pets with Taming Challenges! - from Wowinsider.com

Yep, Auntie officially has to find more stable slots and finish leveling her 2nd and 3rd hunters to 85 so she can CATCH THEM ALL!

I'm so excited about this I could puke a rainbow and poop kittens. I mean that!

See the following videos of some of the new rares. I'm not 100% sure which ones will, in fact, be tamable but I WANT THAT FIRE RAVEN SO MUCH I CAN TASTE IT!

- This is the one I really want more than anything!

Firelands will have some KICK BUTT new mounts as well. I am not sure if these will be raid drops or rep. grinds but they are E.P.I.C!

ME WANT PURPLE BIRDIE!!! NAO!

And last but never least: VANITY PETS! XD JOYGASME!

And for those of you who enjoy slightly morbid quests, enjoy this little preview:

/whew... Auntie is tired from all the happy. /salute

So... no good excuse for lack of posts. :)

2011-05-22T17:53:00.000-07:00

I'd also like to remind you that you can send me raid screen-shots and/or shots or videos from any other significant moments for the guild.

**Previous Video Removed because I'm an IDIOT and I posted it already. Can you tell I love murlocs? So instead I offer you: DWARFS! Cuz I'm crazy about them too.**

And next time you guys are in a raid and getting all frustrated, just remember there are always more frustrating or lame things you could be playing. XD

Farmville - I'll never get it. XD

I find Toby's frustration HILARIOUS!

It's April 19th, 2011

2011-04-19T18:42:00.000-07:00

If you don't know the significance of this date, I offer you the following hint:

XD True nerds know what today means. ;)

I complained... and then... Un RELATED to WOW, but meaningful.

2011-04-14T16:18:00.000-07:00

I made THIS:

I dared to feel sorry for the perpetual winter we've been having. (first time filming w/ an iphone, hence the format issue)

If you don't get the "whiteness," thing, you need to watch more Toby Turner!

Then I saw this:

And, yeah, I gained perspective. :(

SOOOoooo... My April Fools attempt - NOT SUBTLE. ;)

2011-04-10T17:10:00.000-07:00

Yeah, no one went for my defection on April 1st. Next time I'll try something a little less outrageous.

On the up-side, I'm in LOVE with the new hockey-Jerseys from Swagdog! They are also prohibitivly expensive. ;-p

I'm hoping to spend more time in that place BTW. This cartoon is care of: GUcomics Check 'em out. I never understand the jokes that aren't wow related but I bet some of the rest of you mega-gamers will. ;)

As, in all ways, and ALL THINGS - MOOSE rule! For this photo alone I would vote for TR. ;)

I may have been absent a lot lately but I will RIDE A MOOSE so you're argument is BULLY! XD

Plus, we all know that secretly, no matter what faction we play, we all wish we could be a Murloc!

For your weekly dose of the COMPLETELY absurd, I present the following:

FOR THE HORDE

2011-04-01T00:50:00.000-07:00

Dear Crusaders. You know how much I LOVE you all but can't take it anymore!

I've been playing a Tauren for a few monts, on and off and... I am sorry. I have been won over!

I know, I know.! I have ranted against the horde so often. I still think the blood elves are Hilarious but... I am a Tauren at heart.

Please forgive me. I won't kill you on this server because. you know I'm the QUEEN of PVP! MWAHAHAAA!

I'm sorry, you poor, pathetic Alliance PIGS.

Do me a favor and KICK my weak alliance alts. I have no further use for them.

Yeah and despite what I've said in the past: I think Sylvanas is an example of AWESOME Feminine Leadership! I kid you not!

How many ladies can keep plate chest-armor up w/ naught but a few globs of PLAGUE?! No One but Sylvanas! Especially after death, the rest of us mortal women deal with sag! \She knows what she wants and has the BOOTY to get it!

Holy Fish FIGHT Batman!

2011-03-27T15:00:00.000-07:00

OKAY - FISH FIGHT TOURNY - this MONDAY!

The time will be 1/2 hour before the meeting so, 9 pm Server Time and AFTER the meeting, for as long as people want to stick around.

Details:

You will strip down from ANY and ALL armor. You don't have to be in your undies but you can't be wearing anything with any stats AT ALL.

You will need to equip a fish. I have a collection but you have to promise to give them back. I've been collecting them for like, over two years. ;)

Bring any equip-able fish you may have.

We will be dueling in front of SW because, heck, it doesn't hurt to advertise that we are a LOT of fun.

No POTS, No Racials, No HEALS, NO ABILITIES, Nada. This is about you, your fish and the exposed flesh of your frenemy! I will be watching/moderating every fight but I request the help of others on hand who may be better at watching abilities in pvp to help me keep people honest.
* I reserve the right to change up the rules about what can be used if it appears that certain classes are pwning too much. ;)

The WINNER may be the person who wins the most bouts OR it may be something else that amuses me. That is why I am the MISTRESS OF FISHTNESS! o.O X-p My game, my rules.

MOST IMPORTANT:

This is about FUN. If anyone get's over-competitive about this, I reserve the right to wield the BAN-FISH. I very much doubt this will be a problem. XD

See you then, 9 pm, Server time, outside SW. Monday the 28th!

Caveat: If people want to run something after the meeting, that takes priority but I'll be around if others still want to play. :D

Crusaders of the Night, Facebook Group!

2011-03-21T19:40:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

Basic suggested a Facebook group and I think that's a SMURFY idea. I've created my Toon on there:

Dreyja Thundermug!

Let me know your info and I'll add you and create the group. IF you want to use your real facebook identity, that's fine. I can't do that 'cuz I use my real ID to communicate with the kids I work with. It's not that I don't love and trust you guys but.. you know I tell them to be wise about their online identity, I'm not about to mess that up for them.

AND:

BATTLE REZ!

2011-03-21T17:51:00.000-07:00

Hi guys. I'm alive. I promise to get some new content going on the blog. Here is just a quickie, mostly for Canton and the other warriors out there. I've never heard you guys talk about the Glyph of Victory Rush.

It seems like this is pretty epic in PVP. ;)

Standby for announcements and/or videos realizing Aunti Drey's DREAM of the Naked Fish Fight Tournament! It is time!

And I think this is going to be my new PVP toon. I loves me the Dropkick Murphys!

I'm also on Twitter as: @arachnophile :) Be a TWIT, joint me!

WHO has commited REGICIDE?! Oh yeah, it's the Crusaders of the Night!

2010-12-09T12:27:00.000-08:00

Sorry this is over a week in coming but I've been waiting for a video I could embed here!

You guys did it! You handed Arthas his frozen Tushie,
and I am SO PROUD OF YOU.

I'm hoping one of you will send me a screen shot from INSIDE the raid. I'm assuming you took one at the end, yes? If not - SMACK! ;-p

Here are Ferrret's awesome videos he's put togther of the fight:

CotN Downs The Lich King 10 Player - More amazing video clips are a click away

Cotn Downs The Lich King 10 Player Part 2 - For more amazing video clips, click here

Many thanks to Ferret for putting the work into this! And even more thanks to all of you who have been working hard as raiders. Every one of you has been part in getting us to end-game. :)

And, of course, to our leaders Kat, H and C who have held it all together and spurred us on.

I have purchased a sponsor-bump on the podcast:

So if you get the chance - give them a listen to hear a GRATZ to the Crusaders on the most popular WOW podcast out there.

Rather Apt for Cataclysm. We Didn't Start The Fire!

2010-12-03T16:51:00.000-08:00

Yes, coordinating a raid or a premade is hard but consider for a moment the work that went into the following:

Seriously watch this in the highest def. and appreciate all the little nuances that had to pan-out in REAL TIME. The artist talks about how he and his guild pulled it off on youtube.

/respect

And you all thought I was kidding!

2010-11-29T14:51:00.000-08:00

Violence! Murder! RABBITS!?

I told some of you about the mad little zone in Mulgore. You laughed, you mocked but now: Sweet Vindication.

Observe the following video by your very own Auntie Drey. Forgive the narration mis-hap at the end. I've not figured how to fix that and REALLY didn't want to do it all over again.

Crendor has been spying on us. Help w/ Pre CATA quests

2010-11-11T16:57:00.000-08:00

Hi guys. Are you all as confused about the pre-cata quests as I am? Well Auntie is linking you to an awesome guide provided by the lovely people at Wowhead.

Link is below the picture. :)

http://www.wowhead.com/guide=cataclysm&prelaunch#twilights-cult-elemental-invasion

You guys will get a kick out of Crendor's latest in the "How to Win at:" series.

This time it's How to Win at Guilds. I swear the guy has been spying on us. Seriously we'll all see a bit of ourselves in this video. Our guild is just less dysfunctional. ;) A Chick like the belf would be laughed out of the guild, mostly by the other women in the group.

I nominate myself for the "collects everything that's useless and isn't helpful to raids but stays around because she's friendly." It's all pretty cute. Wait for a cameo from a fav. character in vent.

I have been remiss of late!

2010-11-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

I'm so sorry that I've not been updating enough lately (not that any of you are watching, ACHEM). While I wait for a screen shot or video from the Sindragosa kill last night (ACHEM) I'll put up some fun stuff.

First - for all of my Rogue friends:

READ IT!!!

THE SHATTERING!

You've heard my rants about how my hatred for Garrosh burns with the white hot fire of the sun. This book helped stoke that massivly. On the up-side, the Dwarves in this book are AWESOME! If you only read one lore book before CATA - make it this one. The stuff going on in game right now is directly talked about there.

I could have sworn I posted this already with all of it's DEATHWINGIE GOODNESS:

And Last but not LEAST - New Spirit Beast named after the Swoony Ghostcrawler and introduced by the equally swoon-worthy BRK. XD

Amazed and Dissillusioned

2010-09-24T13:14:00.000-07:00

I knew I was bad at PVP... I never knew HOW bad until I saw this video. /sigh Now I see what some of you have been saying about how good hunters CAN be at PVP. Enjoy. I'm going to go sit in the dark and cut myself now. X-p

New great instructional video from Crendor. XD

2010-09-14T16:15:00.000-07:00

Now THESE are Dwarves!

2010-09-12T17:39:00.000-07:00

Hi all. I am in the process up updating everything on here. I'll be putting up the raid vids. Ferret also has them on the Forums. However, while you wait. You all know my love of funny Machnima. This one fills me Warm, Fuzzy, Beardy and intoxicated Dwarvish GLEE.

Also: New Cata pet vid. from my HERO! XD

And if I EVER had a motivation to put more time into raiding, this mount would do it. No Simba jokes. X-p

Now to get that mount we need to get the guild achievement to unlock him. Here's a breakdown of some of the guild and personal achievements that will be contributing to that, I believe.

MMO Champion has a great summary of personal and guild achievements *here*. It's still on the front page but down a little way. :D

HUNTERVIDS!

2010-09-12T15:35:00.000-07:00

I won't say much other than these make me so happy.

Oh yeah, and as Ferret said, if any of you complain that Camo is OP you can kiss my Big Shiny Blunderbus. XD

SQUEEEEEeeeEEEeee!

2010-08-20T13:59:00.000-07:00

Whose the widdle destwoyer of worlds? It's you, it's YOU.. . Dawwhhh... /tickles lil' Deathwing under chin-armor.

Oh YES, I WILL be getting the collector's edition. XD

And here is a shot of the nice items we'll get when we unlock stuff from the guild vendor as we advance:

Unfortunately it's badly compressed here's the mmochamp link: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2010/august/guildvendor.jpg

Auntie has been SLOW! FInally: Festerbutt - pics. :)

2010-08-20T12:45:00.000-07:00

I won't add any commentary to the pictures because I don't really know the fight and know even less about what's going on from a healer perspective. :)

Next time guys - make sure you take a picture of you all standing in front of or DANCING on the corpse. That's the kind of closing shot that auntie loves. (NO BELF COSTUMES!!!)

Good work raiders! For all I know you've forged ahead this week as well. :D I await pictures and/or video.

Also, I've not posted the Sarth video yet - my bad. X( I love that Ferret keeps sending me this stuff but you know, the rest of you can do it too. If anyone complains about the HealerPOV then you need to start sending me some screenies poppets! XD

That is an oddly appropriate song for that fight Ferret. :D

TWO amazing videos.

2010-08-03T18:29:00.000-07:00

First, if you didn't watch The Guild already then you obviously didn't follow my thread, The Gnomergon Odeon on the forums. This series is a smash-hit and you need to watch all of it. While you wait for those to download you can replay this over and over and... OVER.

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who has a seceret love for Bollywood. X-p

And if you are a weirdo like me and actually want to torture yourself with glimpses of Cata Zones months before we can get there then you NEED so see this one. It's a look at Uldum and Skywall.

This is from Total Biscuit who has a podcast that I don't subscribe to because he can be a bit of an arrogant tool towards other podcasters (nobody messes with the EXTREMELY wonderful people over at Bind On Equip and not face my WRATH) but these videos are unparalleled .

Crusaders take Festergut!

2010-08-02T17:47:00.001-07:00

This is why I love Blizzard. They have a sense of ha-ha.

2010-07-30T19:42:00.000-07:00

Introducing EPICUS MAXIMUS.

Basically someone was whining that the Maelstrom wasn't epic enough in the Beta. A blue said something about how it would be better with a giant flying shark with lasers being ridden by a dinosaur and, whola - it appeared floating around the Thrall placeholder. The awesome almost hurts.

Quote from Wow.com: "Epicus Maximus , a level 90 elite shark, who is being ridden by an elite rare devilsaur named riding a rocket and manning (dinosauring?) a laser beam, being ridden by an undead mage playing guitar named ."

Downtime fillers.

2010-07-20T14:28:00.000-07:00

Why do I continue, I ask? No one has even SENT a screen-shots for the contest so OBVIOUSLY none of you actually look at this place. I'm still a glutton for punishment though. ;) /martyr :D :D

Part of the problem is that I missed getting the new vent password before we went into maintenance. /DUR

I see you guys in there. It's the one afternoon I've some time too.

I'm posting some fun stuff I've had laying around. You guys know how much I LOVE the gorlocs from Northrend and the baby Murlocs well I REALLY hope we can get a baby one of these for the next children's week:

/sing-song voice: A-DOR-ABLEZ!!!

Now - just for fun a cartoon that gives me hope for tamable sea-pets in Cata:

... Because they are CEPHLAPAWESOME! XD 8 legged critters are the best in the world. :D

This is from XKCD is some of the best smart-funny out there. It's not always kid-friendly though, so be warned. :)

Remember that despite the fact that she has a reasonably good vocab, Auntie can be hard to understand whilst typing because of that extremely HARD TO SPELL (not bitter) learning issue. XD. Do I wish wow had in game spell check - OH YES!

OK, so I'd post more ACTUAL COTN stuff if people would SEND IT TO ME!!! XD /guilt!

Send your screenshots/vids/funnies/petpics to: auntiedrey@gmail.com OR dreyja@live.com

Please! It's lonely in here! /hugs

P.S. I hesitate to post this because I don't want any of you rolling horde toons but yes, the goblins have a quest involving a SHARK W/ A FRICKING LASER ON IT'S HEAD! It's Not ill tempered redsnappahs, no, SHARKS with fricking LASERS on their HEADS!

There, you've seen it now roll a WORGEN! ;)

Whale Shartks! Moose of the SEA! Spoiler-Cata Game-Play

2010-07-19T18:34:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, they are plankton eaters but in WOW, YOU'RE the plankton NOOB! - Quote from a wow.com poster. ;)

You thought Devilsaurs and FelRevers were bad... Imagine a silent behemoth that drifts across the quest zone with a hitbox the size of England.

I, for one, Welcome our plankton eating overlords.

"Oh GOD it's SO Dangerous. Why is it so DANGEROUS?"

"It's on me. It's still on me SIMON!"

"You're screwed, just accept it. Take your death honorably."

"It's there."

"Where?"

"RIGHT THERE?"

"Where-AAAHhhhahhhhhh!"

Pure gold!

7 Man Sarth...

2010-07-19T18:23:00.000-07:00

... next time it's 3D, yes?

Thanks again Ferret!

Since the Forums hate me right now - Guild leveling Info:

2010-07-12T17:48:00.000-07:00

I DID want to post the latest on the guild leveling info:

I know you can all read this stuff for yourself but just in case you don't have wow.com open in the background all the time like I do then this may be news to you. :D

This is all from Wow.com's Officers' Quarters, by -here-

The money perks

Cash Flow (Rank 2) Each time you loot money from an enemy, an extra 10% money is generated and deposited directly into your guild bank.

First of all, wow, that's going to be a lot of money flying into your guild bank, especially for larger guilds. If 100 players loot 100 gold from enemies, that's an extra 1,000 gold for the guild. The best part about this perk is that it is not a tax -- the money is generated by the talent, not taken out of what a player loots. The only problem here will be figuring out what to do with all that extra cash!

I never felt completely comfortable with the random cash donations that guild members would make to our bank. We couldn't have afforded to unlock all those bank slots without them, but it never felt quite right to me. As for the money that's left over after you unlock all the vaults and the money that's donated later, how do you spend that money in a way that's fair to all of your generous contributors? Hopefully, with this perk, you can tell players to keep their money. They will earn gold for the guild just by going about their business.

5 salutes out of 5

Reinforce (Rank 2) Items take 10% less durability loss when you die.

Unlike Cash Flow, this perk benefits members individually rather than the guild as a whole. It's a nice bonus, sure to save everyone some money if they participate in any dangerous forms of PvE. On those brutal wipefest raid nights, this perk will make the financial sting slightly less acute.

Not only that, but because the perk reduces the durability loss rather than lowers the cost of repairs, your members will have to waste less time repairing throughout a night of raiding. Repairing is pretty easy these days, what with so many robots and mammoths at our beck and call, but this perk doesn't really have a downside. My only issues are that it isn't really that exciting and it doesn't help PvP guilds very much.

3 salutes out of 5

Bartering (Rank 2) Reduces the price of items from all vendors by 10%.

Hey, look -- your guild is automatically Honored with everybody! It's not clear whether this discount stacks with player-based rep discounts, goblin racial discounts or what have you. I'll assume it does. Even so, much like Reinforce, it's not very exciting, but it's still a solid perk that benefits pretty much everyone.

4 salutes out of 5

The convenience perks

Mobile Banking Summons your guild bank; 1-hour cooldown.

I'm struggling to remember if I've ever wished I could access the guild bank remotely. I think I have maybe once or twice, when I forgot to bring Fish Feasts to a raid or when someone showed up without tanking flasks and our other tanks didn't have any spares. I can't imagine it's the kind of thing you'll use very often. I guess it means you could skip going to the actual bank most of the time, but it's not exactly an earth-shattering, quality-of-life change. I suppose it would be handy to bank those BOEs that no one wants or the Primordial Saronites that are earmarked instead of toting them around for the entire raid. Meh.

2 salutes out of 5

Guild Mail In-game mail sent between guild members now arrives instantly.

I don't understand why there's a wait for mail between guild members in general, so it's nice that we're able to remove that wait eventually. This perk will be great for when you need a gem cut or some other professional service and your jewelcrafter happens to be on the other side of Azeroth. Since Cataclysm doesn't have a central hub like Shattrath or Dalaran, that situation will be more likely during the next expansion. However, this perk is still fairly obscure. I doubt most guild members will even realize they have it.

3 salutes out of 5

Hasty Hearth Reduces the cooldown on your Hearthstone by 15 minutes.

In Patch 3.1, Blizzard changed the cooldown on Hearthstones from an hour to 30 minutes. (The patch also killed "ghetto hearthing.") Now, we'll be able to reduce the cooldown even further to a brief 15 minutes. Your guild's shamans won't care. For everyone else, it may be a handy convenience. However, with the "remote questing" system, I wonder how often you'll really need to use this.

2 salutes out of 5

Chug-A-Lug (Rank 2) The duration of buffs from all guild cauldrons and feasts is increased by 100%.

What on Earth is a cauldron? If you weren't on the forefront of raiding in The Burning Crusade, you probably wondered that when you saw this perk. Back then, some boss fights were much easier when everyone in the raid could pop a specific resistance potion. Rather than expecting alchemists to carry hundreds of these potions for the raid's use, Blizzard gave them the ability to make cauldrons. A cauldron would give out a BOP, conjured resistance pot to every raid member, much like a warlock's Soulwell for Healthstones. Blizzard never updated them for Wrath, and fortunately they proved unnecessary in this expansion's raid encounters. Does anyone ever use cauldrons anymore?

Feasts are obviously much more useful these days. However, how often do you need to drop a new feast because the duration of the buff is running out? Usually you drop one because you wiped or because a few people died during an encounter. Prolonging the duration on these buffs seems useless to me.

1 salute out of 5

The Quick and the Dead Increases health and mana gained when resurrected by a guild member by 50% and increases movement speed while dead by 100%. Does not function in combat or while in a Battleground or Arena.

Besides wondering exactly which reference this perk is named after, the first thing I thought was, "Wow, this will be extremely useful in PvP!" Then I read the second sentence, which says it doesn't work in any PvP-specific context. D'oh. I can understand that perhaps allowing people to zip back to their corpse might unbalance organized PvP, so it's a justifiable ban, but it would have been fun to see the impact of this ability in a battleground.

For PvE, this perk has two benefits. The first is the rez component. Unfortunately, the perk doesn't work in combat, either, so battle rezzes will still leave you with virtually no mana and an amount of health vulnerable to even the most half-hearted AoE effects. There must be, after all, a consequence for dying during a fight. However, after a boss kill that leaves two-thirds of the raid dead, it will be helpful for rezzers who get rezzed by other rezzers to rez more rezzers before they have to drink (assuming you're all in the same guild).

The best part of this perk is the movement speed component in a PvE context. Runbacks after a wipe are annoying. While you'll still be moving at normal speeds after you walk into the swirly portal, at least you'll get to that portal more quickly.

For people who die while questing or get ganked in the open world, this perk will also let them get back up and running again a little bit quicker.

Will the run speed increase stack with Wisp Spirit? I guess we'll find out eventually, since it's still a night elf racial in the current beta.

Overall, this is an interesting perk that is hamstrung by its limitations -- but perhaps it should be.

3 salutes out of 5

/ends article

So, on the up side, our officers don't have to deal with the controversy that could have arisen over how to spend out guild talents but now we are in a lock-step program of leveling benefits.

I honestly don't know how this plays out depending on guild sizes etc. I'll try to put stuff up when I see it. :)

DON'T FORGET the SCREEN SHOT CONTEST! :D

Deathwhisper, Gunship, and Saurfang videos

2010-07-11T21:32:00.000-07:00

Ferret has done an awesome job putting together some vids for us and here they are:

COTN vs. Lady Deathwisper - and so should all sparklie vampires end!

COTN and the Gunship Battle

I still think it's mega stupid for the Alliance and Horde to fight their way into fighting the common enemy but... you know I'm weird that way. I actually get Verklempt in the "Papa Saurfang wants his son's body," cut scene.

Good job though TEAM!

Cotn downs Deathbringer Saurfang 10m

I've only been in on this one once but it's a fun fight. Again, great work.

I never thought I'd be a cheerleader.

/waves +Crit +Agility +AWESOME axes instead of pom poms. ;-p If I'm going to cheer-lead, I do it my way. XD

P.S. Ferret, I may need you to talk me through getting Power Auras to work for me. I open that window and my head goes: "ASPODE!"

Fun Submishions from Don! And a CONTEST.

2010-07-11T20:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, of the following pictures I want you to vote for the best by leaving the number or your chosen picture in the comments.

I know not all of you want to take the time to do that so you can also send me a choice by mail in-game.

Then when we've chosen the picture we want we'll have a Caption this contest. Again, captions in the comments or in-game mail. Myself, Don and possibly one other mystery judge will choose the winner who will get: 1 TCG /dance code, otherwise known as the party grenade!

I purchased two of these just before the [Piccolo of the Flaming Fire] dropped for me in Strath. :) I pass the party on to you.

With no further ado, the pictures in question. If you guys have any funny-shots you'd like to get in on this contest, let me know this week and we'll see. :)

Worgen Starting area!

2010-07-08T19:01:00.000-07:00

I'm going to be honest. I'm rather depressed about most of what I've seen in the last couple of days from Beta. One thing I continue to be VERY excited about is Gilneas. Worgen may save me from deleting my account at this point

If you want to know more, just ask me about the Cairne debacle. Yeah. :(

Anyway - worgen are great. ;-p

In other news - if you guys want spoilers we have even more reason to hate Sylvanas - yeah, she's crossed a line. Ask me if you want the story.

Tank Camel is Finished!

2010-07-05T22:05:00.000-07:00

I Luf HEEM and shall call him Spitz!

Cotn vs. Savania Ragefire 10m

2010-07-05T17:34:00.000-07:00

Congrats Guildies for getting the foot in the door in Ruby Sanctum! Ferret recorded a vid for us and here it is:

Great music choice Ferret!

W.I.P - Tank Camel, The Conqurer

2010-07-03T20:43:00.000-07:00

He still needs some work as well but I'm unveiling him here first. ;)

The side plate is bugging me most. I need to get some shots from the right perspective in game. The colors are off but I don't mind it looking like his armor is scavenged from others since, you know, camels aren't an official mount. :D

I also like this stylized version. It hides a how much of an amateur I am.

SPOILER PICS!!! DON'T scroll down if you don't want to see Cata Stuff

2010-07-01T21:21:00.000-07:00

So I'm only posting a few CATA shots that interest me. There are more out there. I totally borrowed these from MMO Champion: NPC models.

I introduce you to Spikemooe's Cousin - TANK CAMEL. Only, he's not tanked-out yet ;) If I get time, it will happen though. Moose are still the most epic of all but camels have to come in second in my books.

Oh HAI - I ahm SPIKEMOOSE and I approve this CAMEL!

HUGE SPOILER!!! LOOK AWAY!! I WARNED YOU!! DON'T SCROLL DOWN!!!

Look who is back - reanimated and REALLY not happy. Oh yeah, if you wondered why Deathwing would hit Stormwind and Orgrimmar and only destroy a fraction of each city? Yeah, he needed those heads back evidently. We are too insignificant at this point to completely wipe out. X-p

I couldn't resist posting the WORGEN DRUID FORMS! OMG OMG OMG!!! (yes multiple exclamation marks are a sign of madness) ;-p I've never claimed, even once to be sane, have I?

And finally I'm grabbing one of these the SECOND I get into Gilneas. I shall name it MOXIE after my mini-IRL Warglette. :)

NDA Goes BYE-BYE

2010-06-30T17:56:00.000-07:00

I'm putting up a couple of Vids from the Alpha. :) They are in Russian but the visuals are amazing.

I want to kill Forsaken with my WORGEN NOW!!!

PROOF!

2010-06-27T20:44:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry I've not been on vent much lately. You may doubt my story about my headset given how recently it was replaced. Well here is the PROOF:

Yep, every single joint is held on w/ Duct Tape. Which is the world's greatest invention.

Buy a new one? Well see I would but I bought THIS:

(it helped with Spikemoose Triumphant!)

If I spent the money before payday I'd have to go without:

THIS! :(

And only marginally more importantly I wouldn't be able to afford THIS:

You'll hear my dulcit tones again soon. :) ;-p

SPIKEMOOSE ARISE!

2010-06-21T10:12:00.000-07:00

Ok so I tried to link Canton's ICC vid here but it didn't work. :( In the meantime I have the most EPIC thing to post - EVAH!

Just pretend for a second that Ghostcrawler came through and gave us a MOOSE. ;) Imagine said moose was the culmination of my dreams as well as those voiced by Alex Ziebart in The Queue posted here: The Queue for June 9th, 2010

I present you: SPIKE MOOSE!

Spikemoose is The Dismay of Evil, Devourer of The Undead, Defender Of The Just, Vanquisher of Evil, Impaler Of The Vile... All HAIL Spikemoose!

He needs a few touch-ups but I'm workin' on it. I'd like to see him in a bit more armor too. :) If you see this image anywhere else, tell them THIS IS MINE! ;)

Some pics from the Ferret-Man. ;-p

2010-06-10T17:36:00.000-07:00

I know he's left us but... I really had to post this because I know that Cleart had been looking forward to his hog for a long time. :)

Ferret sent me info about all of these shots but while putting them in here I lost the order soooo... I honestly don't know what's happening in most of these.

Please send me info and I'll fill it in. :D

I love the poses in the above and below. ;) Zoom in a teeny bit on the next one and we'll have an UBER shot.

Good lookin' group. ;)

EWWWhHHhhh - Are you in BELF costume in this one? You did this just to mess w/ me didn't you Ferret?

I still think it's MEGA dumb that we fight the horde on our way to Arthas - to that end the gunship battle is particularly irksome. It looks like you all had a blast though... literally. ;)

So SOMEONE got to test out the Ruby sanctum but didn't bring us shots from the inside? What's up with that eh?

Well SOMEONE has been sending me shots.

2010-06-02T19:24:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictured from what I think is the weekly and some of the rep runs in ICC.

Thanks Ferret! Keep 'em comin'. And yes, the UI is very nice... bragger. ;-p

2010-05-26T17:57:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple more shots from the PARTAH:

This is what happens when I have someone on follow and they decide to commit suicide as a bunny.

I can't help it. When I saw this my thought was... it looks like I'm flying through the air on my own fiery flatulence! ;)

I miss shots like this. There was a time where killing Magni Bronzbeard was the hardest part of the "For The Horde" achievement. I loved viewing the piles of bones whilst my king looks down on them and sneers. World pvp requires teamwork too and no one does it anymore. /whine /snivel /rant over. ;-p

Welcome Crusaders! This is the home of all of our Fun Pictures.

2010-05-25T21:35:00.000-07:00

So here are some of those shots from Ferret's B-day party. :) We had a lot of fun but I need to work on composing my screenshots better. :)
