And from the Onion

While wandering around the onion news network site at work I came across this article
And I completely understand where the guy is coming from, cus as a friend said years ago “Even dressed as a geeky nerd She’s Hot”. A sentiment I completely agree with!

Onyxia is Back but

patch last week contained the revamped, upped to lvl 80 Onyxia boss fight! And… I only have a small bit of disappointment that I’m not in a raid guild that’s going to go kill her. Maybe the guild wreckers broke my love of the game or maybe it’s just another temporary downward spiral of wow apathy? Who knows? Only time can tell.

Shopping Outfits…

And for something just plain funny was a link from The Anorak to a blog called People of Walmart. Pictures people have taken of walmart customers, and cars in the carpark, in the states. Makes me feel less bad about walking around to sainsburys in a pair of baggy tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt!

And as ASDA has been owned by walmart for a few years now maybe I could go on a hunting trip and see if anyone here can be THAT BAD!

This post was written a week ago! I was didn’t get around to posting it.

Pre-ordered this game on Sunday. Not really paid much attention to this or other upcoming MMO’s but with the untimely death of Elysium and some friends who had been doing the beta’s for this game I decided to try it out. Official UK launch isn’t till Friday but due to pre-ordering I’m in on a head start code.

Made my first character on the server we had decided on and played around for a couple of hours on Monday night, and the early levels are pretty much average MMO faire. 

The Tuesday after work I logged in and discovered a 7hour 20mins queue to log in! This prompted me to make another char on a different server. Which I took through to level 10 (got my wings). 

Skilling up crafting skills is interesting. You get work orders to make items that get handed in, most of the materials for which are supplied to you. Crafting doesn’t seem to be a fast process but you aren’t dumped with tonnes of junk items no-one needs. We will see how this progresses.

Tonight after work if there is no queue on the first server that’s where I’ll go! If on the other hand there isn’t I’ll start a new char on the second server. The reason is I don’t want to commit too much time to a char until I know where we will be settling for the long haul!

Such is the way of WoW!

Its taken two weeks for me to get my current thoughts into words, and those who think mmo's are just games won't understand but tough!

Thursdays raid we went through and killed the just opened last boss in Trial of the Crusade and started onto the hard mode versions. Plus I got the first peice of the new set of tiered armour.

Friday I missed the raid because of a friends birthday.

Saturday I logged on to discover what had happened.

Most of the officers and a large group of the guilds raiders had split to form a new guild with some of the raiders from Eureka. So two guilds those 2nd & 3rd on the server alliance side die. 

And now the bit that may not make sense to those who don't understand, I currently feel like a group of people, including some I would have considered friends, have effectivly said "sorry you can't play this game any more". Yup I could join another raiding guild, and probably will. But I will have to move backwards and I've done that before and is pissed me off totally.

At the moment just logging into wow makes me depressed as hell, I'll get over it eventually but for the moment I am just fed up.

At long last hunters are losing mana for focus :D

Link Tooltips

Hopefully the link at the end of this sentence should have a tool tip! Siren's Cry.

And this is me on WoW Armoury Light - Wispcat.
