Another WoW Post

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Not a long post, just another notie of more WoW pictures being uploaded. I’ll try upload the rest of my camera phone pictures tomorrow too, they’re quite piling up lol. Might have to consider upgrading my hosting again :ESo basically I’ve been messing around more with getting decent pictures from within WoW itself. Pretty much for my own use and just to look back on and think “oof I remember that part” and stuff like that. So I’m also trying to document the people I meet along the way to my rise to the top. Now that part hasn’t gone well, as trying to get some people to stay still long enough to try snap a decent picture can be somewhat troublesome, so heres everyone I’ve snapped so far

Amatoxin – Helena (We bumped into each other when I got lost on a quest)

Benon - Joe

Thegishere – G

Simodel – Simon (Flatmate)

If I can catch people I’ll keep adding to it. Else theres likely to be close to 500 pictures when I get into outland alone, let alone when I’m doing some “end game” kind of stuff. Oh and just randomly tagged on here, I got some loot in my WoW cards when I went through buying the cheap ones from work. I got myself Bananas the monkey ^_^ He’s class, but I’m more partial to Ancona Chicken still, so Bananas is locked away in my bank for the time being

Other than that, nothing to report in real life, worksgoing along fine as per usual. I sold my 360 Elite because I don’t play on it anymore. Erm, that could be it. Oh! I got
Rather than drawing a picture, as I think I’m less motivated to draw a new one for here because of me having no beard (Not a proper one) atm. I’ve decided to just link to my favourite screenshot that gets uploaded for the time being. So this upload’s is this one, 2 Blood Elves returning to Silvermoon after a long voyage to claim their mounts. Mind saying that looking through them, theres loads I proper like :E Decisions, decisions, decisions

Gallery Update

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Aye so I’ve yet to bother making a new picture for a post still, but I have uploaded more pictures to the WoW gallery. But I haven’t made a way to access it without first finding one of the posts I talk about it in

I’m planning to redo the whole gaming section so that each game I mention will link to the individual games gallery, seems a more logical way of doing things. To me anyhow, alas thats a wee bit off. Basically I’m too addicted to WoW atm to contemplate doing some actual work on this. It strikes me as a bad thing but nm, I want to be a lvl 70 :D

For The Horde!

After years of telling Canty I’d never go back, I’ve once again returned the the world of Azeroth. I’ve joined the other 9 million people currently playing World of Warcraft (WoW) and I’ve got to say I’m loving every minute of it

Since last Saturday, in the past 7 days. I’ve managed to cram in, about 48 hours worth of gametime. Thats nearly 7 hours a day :E In that time I’ve managed to ding level 26 ^_^ At utmost best, I’d like to hit 30 tomorrow seen as I have a day off, but in reality I think even 28 could be a push, but I’m going to try for it

Basically I’m grinding my character to get into the high level content to prepare myself for the unleashing of Wrath of the Lich King (LK), so I can take part in the big events that should be happening on its launch after I missed out on the battle of the Dark Portal with The Burning Crusade (BC). I think its going quite well really, 7 hours a day on top of an 8 hour a day job isn’t bad going. A tad depressing in one way, but quite an achievement in another

I rolled Blood Elf, one of the new races introduced with BC and then spent near a full hour trying to work out what class i wanted to play as, eventually deciding on a Paladin. At this point, some would laugh under their breath, but I’m actually finding Paladin to be a really versatile class. My characters very melee orientated atm, mainly for soloing and getting levels as fast as I can (With the aid of one Benon (Aka Joe) and one Fuggi (Lewis) who are helping me through some of the group missions I would struggle with otherwise) hence my going through the levels at a suprising rate

The biggest gripe for me was the lack of facial hair for the elves, though I’m under the impression hair is something thats going under scrutiny with LK so that might not be an issue. Mind on the note of facial hair… I’ve shaved mine off :o Mind I’m regrowing it now, I can’t stand not having it, I feel pretty naked without it :(

Erm, right… other than that, again nothing to report. I’ve uploaded all my WoW screenshots to date, and all my Log Out screenshots I’ve been taking to track the growth of my character. I’ve got upwards of 50 pictures from my phone I need to upload too so I’ll be sorting them out at sometime tomorrow when I can bring myself to do it. I’ll draw a picture for this then too, seems to have been ages since I last drew a picture here :E
