Weekly Lagout

Well interesting week to be sure.

WoW:

 Blizzard tossed their hat into the ring for Microtransactions, some people are up in arms. Meh, I gotta say that Pandaren Monk, is pretty kickass looking. As long as that don’t sell the Sword of 1000 truths I think everything will be ok.

I went to the Arcane Shatter PvP spec, and loving it. It’s fast, mobile, and deadly.

We had some Raid problems in TOC10, but I think we’ll square it away next Monday.

On Thursdays we started an Ulduar 10 group to attempt Hard Modes, and you know what they say…Hard Modes is Hard. LOL! But I had some fun with the extra challenges, I would like just to do a full clear just to say I did it, cause I know once Ice Crown hits, I ain’t seeing Ulduar again.  Though even though it’s meant to be fun I take it really serious…not like some people putzing about there bike, saying “beep, beep” over vent. Pfff. Just Kidding.

Oh and I guess my new boss is a chick…pfft. LOL!

 

WAR:

I was going to reup, but I will hold of a tosh more, not really like what I’m seeing with the City Sieges.

SWTOR, STO:

Just waiting…and some more waiting.

Link Love:

A guildie who I didn’t really know blogged, and when she speaks in vent I feel like a dirty old man….wait I am a dirty old man. It’s all good then. Celaeno is a reall good writer, and her posts are entertaining. I hope she really keeps it up. Check her out at the Disco Priest.

Something Funny:

CHARLIE MURPHY is in Chicago this weekend perfoming at the Improv. He cracks me up. Gotta show him some love.

 

With that.

MY PING SUCKS, I’M OUTTA HERE!

 

Hello Kitty 40K Announced!

My guildies were talking about the 40k MMO last night. So I tried to dig up some info. Not much out there still. Haven’t heard anything about 40k in awhile, and thought it was just vaporware. Well it ain’t set to come out to 2012, so I won’t hold my breath but, but I do look forward when I can take my squad of Chaos Marines, and kill some dang Space Marines.

As for Hello Kitty 40K, in the Future of Hello Kitty there is only WAR!

You Gots Knocked The F$%k OUT!

So last night I got the chance to use my Arcane Shatter Spec….Simply WOW. 

I was killing stuff left and right last night, don’t get me wrong it was still work. It was fun type of work.   Sure I didn’t get the upperhand everytime, and I still have no PvP gear, and need more practice, but I was in the upper echelons (top 1-5) of damage, in every BG I was in,  and I had some real good fun for the first time in a long time in regards to PvP.

It really revitilized my love for PvP. I have Euri to thank for that.  I might change out my glyph of polymorph, it didn’t seem like I polymorphed that much last night. Maybe I’ll get Glyph of Icy Veins try that out.

As for the Warrior that was walking slowly to their death, to quote Chris Tucker from the Movie Friday, “YOU GOTS KNOCKED THE F*CK OUT!!!!”

 

Blizz starting Microtransactions

So Blizz is starting to sell pets for real cash.  I knew this day would come. What you didn’t? Please with the name changes, server changes, faction changes, haircuts, etc..etc.

I am a little upset because you know how I got my very first mount, that’s right selling pets, I use to sell Cats, and Rabbits to the Horde by the boat full. That day is long gone, but I made a pretty decent gold coin. So this hurts those pet sellers, ALOT I think.

Though I am not a huge pet guy myself, I am a HUGE mount guy, and willing to fork some cash over, but if everyone had the Barons Mount, it  wouldn’t be that special then.

Arcane Shatter Build for PvP.

As a mage, I am always looking for new things to try, and new things to experiment with. This post had me highly curious.  I have foregone my usual Frost PvP Spec to give this a shot. I tried to test it out on a Warrior, but Whirlwind got the best of me. I will be testing it out in the BG’s more throughly tonight.  Though I don’t PvP alot, and I don’t have any PvP gear, which I hope to remedy soon.

The post reminded me of when I did PvP, in my 3 minute mage days of  (Trinket+AP+POM+Pyro) Days. Ever one shot a priest or Warlock? It was pure joy.  And when a Shammie grounded totem me it sucked huge…well you know what.

What I did.

I went 51/0/20

Got Icy Veins, and all the Arcane Goodies. Arcane Barrage being the biggie, and Slow.

I made a macro (POM+Frostfire Bolt)

Glyphs I am using, Glyph of Evocation, Glyph of Polymorph, Glyph of Icy Veins.

So hopefully tonight I’ll run it through its paces, and if it sucks I’ll go back to good ole Frost, if it’s pure awesome, I’ll shave my head, wear Monk Robes, and follow Euri around all day.

Is that my ass your handing to me? Thank you

Well I was actually at this raid.  First of my Dad is a salesman been one for a long time, he told me, “Somedays you bite the bear, other days the bear bites you”  I think he might finally be going senile but I get it.  Things are not going to go your way all the time.

I could tell tension was high last night, people were getting upset with others. At these times I just sit back, and do my job best we can. I only got upset when people were yelling at the mages to CS Jaerxxus fireball, when we have to kill every add in the book, and then go back to dispel. Perhaps it wasn’t directed at me personally cause I spell stole like a mug, and at times the only dps on mobs, so much so Infernos loved me.

I really don’t know what happened on Valk’yrs.  I switched colors, I switched targets, sometimes I died, I tried to watch out for balls. Unfortunately I can only control one person, thats me. Alas it just didn’t happen  last night

I did get a little upset last night, because we quit early. I think we should have went to the last-minute, but alot of tempers ran hot last night.

Here’s the thing We failed last night, just not one of us. Everyone in the guild failed. We’re a team, and one of us sucks, we all do. That’s ok though, we all fail once in a while. We need to pick ourselves off, lick our wounds, and head back in there next time with a better attitude. 

Listen you haven’t been on a bad raid until you had a drunk Pally run into a group of Drakonoids in BWL, screaming so loud your eardrums burst in Vent, “GO TEAM GO!…GO TEAM GO!!”  Funny as hell, but we all died horribly.

Lets look on the bright side, I got a chance at some gear, even though my rolls were shittier then raw pilsbury rolls with shit jam on them, and I got 9 Triumph badges that go for some token gear…so not a total loss. But as for last night, the bear definitely got a chunk of my ass, and is chewing on it.

So many questions, so little time.

Both Mika, and Amber have these healing quuestionairres, and I thought where’s the dps love.  So I made my own questions.

1. Your Name/Server

Frostscourge, Azgalor

2. Do you whack stuff, shoot stuff, or cast stuff?

Cast stuff.

3. Are you a Warlock or a Death Knight, go to question 15. If not what class do you play?

A Mage

4. Whats your favorite spell, or ability.

Portals, Boats are for pheasants.

5. What do you think is the biggest strength of your class?

Free food, it rocks.

6. What is the biggest weakness of your class?

 I rolled a mage, thats the biggest weakness of this toon.

7.  What spec are you?

I am dual spec, Arcane and Frost. I really love both specs. But if I had a choice of only one spec it would be Frost. Frost is the new Elemental, and Fire is the new FFB, and Arcane is the new Fire….and wait I’m confused.

8. When killing stuff do you laugh in maniacal way, or do you stare at the screen in cold calculation waiting for the next target to kill with the effciancy of a shark?

I’m a laugher, I cackle when skull goes down, then when we hit ‘X’ I’m so drunk on power it isn’t funny.

9. Gear: Do you go with makes you a better killer, or what makes you look cooler?

I’m a bit of a dandy, but if the stats are that awesome I don’t care if it makes me look semi-retarded.

10: Favorite spec to stack, why?.

Haste, I love Haste so much it isn’t even funny. In fact thinking about joining Haste Anonymous. “Hi my name is Frostscourge, I regem for Haste Daily!”

11. When things go crappy, who do you blame?

I usually go with healer…If I don’t get heals. I slap on Ice block, use a potion, or Invisibility the hell outta there.  I love tanks keeping aggro off me too much.

12. Is your Deeps ADD kicking in?

Yes….where the hell is the skull.

13.  Are you male or female?

Male.

14. If your female, How you doing pretty lady?

N/A

15. If your lock, or deathknight, do you like everything in easy mode?

N/A

16. Why are you still reading this post, when you should be killing something? NOW GO!!!

Righto, I’m out.

 

Little note- I’m participating in NANOWRIMO, or Write a novel in a month, I’m going to try to keep up my posting rate, but if I miss a day or to, still love me. Puhhhleezze. LOL!.

Weekly Lagout – WoW-It’s Been 5 Years.

In Weekly Lagout I usually do the same format, list what has been happening, what’s coming up, give some love, and give you something funny. Gonna change it up, and take a look at WoW for the last 5 years.

I’ve been playing WoW since Beta, so I’ve been with WoW every step of the way. I commented that it’s probably the longest I ever stayed with anything. Sure I took a break here and there, but always came back.  A friend of mine, Mike aka Ysus, made an observation that I have nothing tangible to show for it. He’s right to a point, but what I have is memories, and you know what I think thats better than anything tangible.

I want to share just a few of those memories.

-Making my first toon, a Paladin on Garona Alliance side. I remember the day I dinged 60 on him, a week later our whole guild moved to Horde side.

-The first time I got ganked in STV, and vowed to take my vengeance on the other faction.

- When I first saw Ragnaros emerge out of the Lava, screaming “By Fire Be Purged!”

- All the times I went into a new dungeon.

- The many boss kills, and guild firsts I have been a part of.  

- The times I did Arena with my friends like Ysus, and we just would argue back and forth on vent.

-The many times we had certain boss down to nothing and my heart pumping, burning everything I got.  

- So many good people who have come into my life, and expanding that friendship through WoW, like Bitaken, Why, Byll, Ysus, Cely, Horb, Sirp, Uni, Rami, Kain, Iben, Lilis, Nonix, Legger, Preventer, Littlebit, Tsetung, Gort, Type,  the names go on and on the people I had the distinct honor of playing WoW with in guilds such as  Phoenix Ascension, Oppression, Blight of Garona, Kindred Spirits on Thunderlord, and to the friends I play with today, and look forward to sharing their adventures in the future  like Mach, Josh, Kyr, Amber, Mika, Kotex, and the rest of the Brotherhood of Oblivion.

- the first raid with BoO, thinking what will they think of me, will I screw up totally.

- I remember the biggest idiot I ever met, Irongiant, and thus was my nickname in my guild for a while as a joke, Irongiant 2.0

I could literally go on forever.

My point is, yes 5 years is a long time to invest in something, but you know what I don’t think it’s time wasted because how could meeting all these fine people and have them touch their lives, and them touch mine be a wast.

Love the game or hate the game it has made an impact in not only MMO’s, the video games, it has also made an impact on culture, and the way we live. 

Thank you Blizzard, Thank you World of Warcraft, and thank you all who dwell and share that world with me for the last 5 years.

With that…

MY PING SUCKS….I’M OUTTA HERE!

 

SWTOR: FLUFF

Ok I’m no Carebear, but I do like some fluff. In WoW, I like my little Mechanical Yeti, or My Disgusting Oozling.  In WAR I love my Red Demon Horse, and the fact I can dye my armor, which like DAOC I spent a vast fortune on.

In some upcoming games, and current games, I thought of some fluff I may want, and thought I would share.  Today’s game will be…..

Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Pets/Companions

1. That little black Tonka Truck Droid, that beeps at Chewbacca on the Death Star. Couldn’t find a pic, but ya know the little toaster on wheels.

2. My Own Salicious Crumb, to laugh at all my bad jokes. Me Jabba No Wanka… HAHAHAHAHAAA

3. My own Twi’lek Dancing Girl. Hot Chick with Head Thingies…Nuff said.

4. My Own Gamoreean Guard…How cool to have a Pig Man following you around.

5. Last but not least I want a Jawa….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mounts.

1. The Tauntaun, and really cool if we can open it’s belly in an emergency.

2. Dewback Lizard – Nothing says Badass like sitting on a Dewback in the desert.

3. A Bantha…so I can ride in single file line to hide our numbers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wardrobe.

All I need is a cloak with a hood, and a red lightsaber to chop mofoes up, everything else is bonus. Dye’s not needed..it’s gonna be all black.

Cool Website..

It has info on animals, and climate of planets in the Star Wars Universe. Check it Out.
