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

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!

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. :)

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

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.

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. ;)

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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

Now THESE are Dwarves!

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!

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!

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:
