Dear So and So...

2013-05-17T03:33:00.002-07:00

Welcome to another edition of 'Dear So and So', an often sadistic, offhand, silly, facepalm moment, open letter to people/things I encounter in World of Warcraft. Looking for Dungeon is sometimes a disaster. Dear So and So, it all started when my panda priest finally made her way to Northrend. I decided that the quickest way to level was to quest and also queue up for dungeons. Cripes, was I

Illidan and Kael'thas in the City

2013-04-11T09:40:00.002-07:00

Beautiful artwork by someone I wish I could credit proper. If Illidan and Kael'thas walked into my city I would so glomp them in a heartbeat. Most likely it would be followed by my clearly irritated husband peeling me off them as I kicked and screamed, "No, minnne!" What a picture! What? A girl can dream.... What have I been up to inside the game? Dailies and LFR. Tons of both and quite

It took a bit of learning but I finally figured out how to not feel 'socially pressured' to do everything at once on a single character. My

Closure: Goodbye to the Guild

2013-03-01T07:53:00.002-08:00

The best of times seem like forever ago... Back in the year of 2011 I touched a little about the e-friendships that we as players find within our guilds. The general belief amongst folk is that our guild mates are simply interactive pixels. On that same train of thought we often then assume that e-friendships are unlike real friendships. A person then believes that at the end of the day, if

All the World's a Stage, a helpful tricks and tips guide to how to roleplay is being retired after first debuting in 2007. The blogger, Anne Stickney, for the column which is found at WoW Insider stated the reason is that there is only so many ways one can type out the same advice to situations, problems, and basics regarding how to roleplay in World of Warcraft. While it is sad to see this

Valentines Day. The holiday can either make you blush with memories of romantic evenings spent with a loved one or literally make you want to throw your PC out the window in a fit of rage.

There's nothing better than watching inspiring movies and hoping that with enough practice that one day your movies will be almost(or at least not so terrible) as good. Even though I have a very long way to go from not being seen as a very basic creator I still like to play around with making short clips. Here are two of my latest: On the Farm Who knew that your L85 alt character could visit the

Old but New

2013-01-14T14:25:00.000-08:00

One of the oldest wishes I and many other World of Warcraft players have had is for our characters to learn new dance moves. A long time ago an April's Fool's joke was played by Blizzard to introduce a 'dance studio' where we could incorporate new dances from other races to our own character. The concept took fervor and a great many of us hope and dream that maybe one day that joke would become a

While waiting for dungeon queues I found myself a bit bored and looking for something easy to do meanwhile. The immediate thought of doing achievements came to mind. Specifically the critter one! Apparently not only do we have to love critters but we also have to smack around a few. Talk about having a love/hate relationship. I love you..but I want to kill you too! I can't help but wonder if

Way back in August while waiting for any news of the Mists expansion to creep up I found myself bored with the game. My husband was also bored and decided to make a more casual version of the Iron man challenge and named it the 'Bronze Bruiser' challenge. Slightly less strict but still with a good amount of restrictions imposed to make the activity interesting. I then began the process of
