My new favorite pet.

Are you rich?

Jadefury( http://www.jadefury.blogspot.com/ ) posted the following video. It shows a rather awesome use of the DK spell Death Grip: http://files.filefront.com/lolgripwmv/;11406623;/fileinfo.html Also, for those of you who haven't heard about this yet: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/08/eight-people-bo.html I thought it was great. Wulfa and Ishvi are loud bosterious social types online. I'm loud and silly but avoid all contfrontation like the plague. I yelled at them for good measure today for not being like me. Sheesh. And then I called and yelled at Moon incase he gets any bright ideas. They all need to learn social decorum. Threw my gear into www.warcrafter.net/sandbox and found out that if I respec I'll have over 10k armor.... in my cat dps gear.... in bearform. I realize this isn't much but heckya I like having 5 digit numbers....it makes me happy. My wonderful mother pointed me at this: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/06/11/garden/0612-PUZZLE_12.ht...

Worst of it and Best of it.

First of, Damm's most recent post made me laugh. Especially he and moon's latest scheme. Their parents are going to regret letting them come :) I'm sure you've heard of the rogue who got the bestest , most awesomest bow ever over two hunters. That's the maddest something in WoW has ever made me. ( btw , this is the worst of it part.) I apologize too often. I apologize when I wasn't the one who gave offense. I apologize preemptively . Occasionally I apologize because I really was at fault. Part of my apology reflex is a desire for all to be right, for emotions to be smooth and blue/purple and not red (I tend to see things in colors when it comes to emotions). A defensive mechanism makes up the other part-if you apologize first you are less likely to be yelled at, to be struck, to have someone get mad at you. I'm not sure why I have a defense mechanism-I had a happy childhood, relatively happy teenage period, and have been like Rory Gilmore most of my life ...

Life

Ah life. So many things to think about. Nuclear Engines = Steam Engines. Fjord or Tundra. I can't decide. I HAVE to be exalted with Cenarian people in Outlands...pondering wandering over and getting started now. Ramps boss has a feral staff I want. Friday can't come soon enough(me and Ish will be running ramps for that staff)[and to practice my tanking again...haven't feral tanked since pox level 28]. 8k hps and 5700? armor in bearform. I'm thinking I'll be okay but I'm still worried. Wulfa doesn't like talking about wrath. I find the outlands stories un-interesting as an alliance and cannot wait to start in on Arthas plot. I finally got below 192 on the scale. Now to keep it that way. Orclette keeps wanting to be held by Moon. Somedays this can be frustrating. Mechanical/Nuclear Engineering suddenly sounds freaking cool. Steampunkness is slowly poisoning me to electronics. I want pipes and STEAM dang it.(yes yes I realize that Engineering doesn...

Where Wulfa Wipes the Raid

Last Saturday was the infamous (in my mind) day. Regularly scheduled run through Kara, Wulfa was getting some sweet loot, and we had just downed Carburator (Curator, but I always think of the name I gave him when I couldn't remember his correct name). We were killing the trash, I send Boru after what I thought was the correct target, and to my horror he charges past our mob and into the next group. I tried to call him back but my reflexes were slow. We wiped, as the title indicates. I felt horribly about it-but then I blame being up til 3 in the morning and having Orclette wake me up at 8 (i.e. little sleep). Fast forward to last night. Our fearless GM's had decided to split up Kara into two nights so the old folks wouldn't get too tired :). We were about to kill Moroes, targets were being assigned, and I was turning growl on Boru because he and Cassie were taking down their own target. And my cat starts to charge forward. This time my reflexes were faster and I called him ...

Shiny thoughts

Things that would just be SHINY: When a hunter engineer rides his motorcycle...his pet sits in the sidecar.(Moon thought this one up). Complete sets of green gear purchasable every 10 levels.... as a gold sink and assistance with leveling. They could even be current sets... or ugly sets....just so long as I could get a complete set. Engineering letting you make Lightning gloves(fist weapon) and Lightning staffs. For the staffs think something like a cattle prod. For the Gloves go read Girl Genius and think of Captain Dupree and her hand shocking device. More Scythes. MOVING Steamboats on rivers. Complete with Cannon and Skeleton Crews. Most would be NPC's...but one would be an neutral Skeleton faction that featured an ingame casino with horrendeous odds. Shortly after this you would have the ability to purchase an instanced "private room" and play cards with your guildies. Private room would require Revered or Exalted rep. An ingame camera that let you take fuzzy ...

60 again.

Yay I guess. I'm 60 again. And Feral again. Still need pants, boots, bracers, and rings for my feral druid. Currently using +STM gear as a place holder. It always saddens me that I cannot easily buy a full set of green gear on the AH. Things I wish for: A green "set" of gear for each spec of each class. Purchasable at 60. Nothing special just a complete set. rings/trinkets included. Heck if you want to...make it a recipe set...just so that all the gear is the same level and matching and you get this before 70. I'd kill for this. Make each item 100g. I'd pay the 1600g for a complete matching set. Heck yeah I would. The ability to trade your level toon for a level toon of a different class. As it is... my first plate user will be a DK. Because leveling 20-55 is just... not fun. It really really isn't. I want to skip it every time. It wouldn't be bad if you could auto adjust your friend's toons down to your level and do instances t...

Ideas.

I know there is a book or multiple books that have dealt with this plot idea but I've always sort of liked it. The idea goes like this: Viewpoint the prologue: Humanity opens a gate, or travels to, this far away place. And when they get there they are immediately attacked by the relatively weak denizens that live locally. They retaliate. Viewpoint the story: Humanity opens a gate, or travels to this far away place. The exploratory team never returns. Shortly after this a group of powerful monsters come back from this far away place invading and conquering. Viewpoint the final: One or more of the exploration team realize what happened after plucky heroes put together all the pieces. They help plucky heroes fight against the rest of the team who do not wish to give up their power. ================================================================ Also: In a world under the control of an incredibly powerful enemy a group of merchants decide to rebel. The key is that they know...

Promised Photos

As promised, photos of our "Breaking Dawn" party night. See the shoes? First time Orclette-with-shoes photo! And then we put her down on the ground and she ran away, high-stepping it big-time. I rarely like photos of myself but Damm liked this one, and it shows off my non-hooker outfit, so I included it. And this is Damm and his orclette. I have no clue why she has such a funny expression on her face.

Where the 3B defends the Orclette

Last night a terrible crime was committed. The Orclette was innocently walking along, following her daddy, when out of nowhere a big huge exercise ball knocks her flat. She gets herself up, her face screws up, her mother throws the cinnamon jar she was holding at the offending uncle. We were in the hallway. This ball came rolling down and looked like that huge rock from indiana jones. Later on Wulfa was on, and she asked 3B to boot offending uncle from the guild for just a little bit (cause she was still annoyed-that facial screwup thing the Orclette does should not be seen more than once a day-it's just too painful) in the hopes of teaching him a lesson (i.e. don't hurt the Orclette). To my immense surprise I see: In case those images are not big enough (and I don't know how to make them clearer/bigger), 3B booted the bad uncle from the guild. It was possibly the best night I've ever had in the land of World of Warcraft. P.S. Many thanks to Eustacius, who took the sc...

Car fun

So suddenly this weekend my car started a high pitched squeel every time we make a left turn. Braking or not braking. Fast or slow. It doesn't make any noises when you go straight or right. Only left and worse the sharper the turn. So I'm getting off early and spending time in our local garage shop farming rep. The Hub Bearings? and Hub Spindle? were bad. Mechanic said my wheel looked like it was about to fall off. I put the car in the shop at 10:30am and got a call saying they were done at 4:50pm. $196 total. Not sure exactly what was fixed the terms above are from the reciept.
