Some things I've encountered lately

A new vanity pet*! A BlizzCon Bear Mount! A ton of zombies! A crazy stalker!
















*Gorilla vanity pet does not in fact exist currently**, but if it does in the future, Storm and pets claim all rights to the creation.
**Bananas excluded, due to the fact that he TCG only

Take that, Tenris

Prince Tenris Mirkblood- I hate you.
Yes, you are supposed to be 5-mannable from people in greens.
No, you are not.
Yes, I had a group of 10 in full epics with a few blues.
Yes, it took 12 tries.
Yes, I collect pets.
No, I will NOT give up this pet.
Yes, I did Attumen so the trash wouldn't respawn.
Yes, it saved me.
Yes, the save would give me one day to get the pet then.
Yes, that is too risky for me.
No, this boss is NOT easy if you don't know what to do.
Yes, you DO need to clear all the trash on his floor.
Yes, opening his door WILL pull him.
Yes, you need to kite him.
No, you do not go downstairs when you are kiting him.
Yes, you need to kite him in a ring to avoid the bombs.
Yes, I got my bat.
(Yes, it drops for the whole raid)
Yes, I now have one pet to go.
And lastly, yes, he saves you to kara.

Is that..... possible?

So we (That being, my pets and I) started up a zombie raid and quickly had 40 people. We went Westfall to Darkshire to Rebel Camp to Booty Bay to Rachet to Crossroads (XR to the extreme!!!) to Splintertree Post to Thunder Bluff (Where we wiped miserably. I had tried to convince people to stick to towns, but they wanted a city). It was great. Ive discovered you can become a zombie on a flying mount if timed right, and a few things I saw in rachet include:

DON'T KILL THE ZOMBIES

MMO-Champion

PLEASE LET THE ZOMBIES INFECT VARIAN

Same old, Same old

Finally back to the norm. Got That Sparkling Smile done. Finally. Only one left is Hallowed Helm. Then I'm done. Then I get title. If you didn't know: A Mask for all Occasions will be removed from the requirements for Hallowed be thy Name. (Source)


I NEED MY HELM FOR MY ACHIEVEMENT. HALLOWS END DOES NOT LAST FOREVER.

You've got to be kidding me....

So I finally get my character list, and the loading screen takes about 5 minutes, then it just pops up what you see above. I NEED MY HELM FOR MY ACHIEVEMENT. HALLOWS END DOES NOT LAST FOREVER. Blizzard, please extend Hallows End by a few days to make up for all this sh!t going on right now. That is all.


Update: I got on. Finally. Showed my character, in the world, all was fine. 5 seconds later, I got disconnected. Tried again, still fail. Blizzard, I hate you.

Update 2: Using my brain, I have concluded Blizzard hates me. Upon trying a second time, I actually saw another player. So the World Server is fine. Yesterday, I was PvPing. Big mistake. Everyone who PvPed got disconnected. It was h3ll. Ever since then, whenever I got on I was on in Shatt for 5 seconds then disconnected. If this keeps going on, its time to email them. I'd open a petition. If I could get on. I NEED MY HELM FOR MY ACHIEVEMENT. HALLOWS END DOES NOT LAST FOREVER.

Again??

In your face Squashling

Got it. Today. Woot. Now for the helmet. Need achievement.

WHAAAAT?

I'm sure everyone knows how I collect pets. Well today Sinister Squashling dropped for me. And I lost the roll. By three. To someone who hates pets. It was their first pet, and they said they'd never even use it. /growl

FINALLY

'nuff said

Echoes of Doom??

Some staff member at Blizzard is getting a bit creative.... If a new job opens at Blizzard tomorrow, we know why.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred screenshots...

Not only am I naming all of my screenshots (over 1000), but I'm also organizing them all. Upon finishing this hellish task that's going to take days, I'll spend hours uploading them ALL onto the blog. Yay......

Maybe I WILL go for the addon list...

Welcome to h3ll...

*Originally titled Things to Do (changed upon realizing the monstrosity of the task)*
1. Respec (Please tell me- is that a good spec or any small ones I should change)
2. Buy two more pet stable slots
3. Get a new plethora of pets
4. Turn mounts and pets into spells
5. Attempt to roll a DK and find that you can't yet
6. Go to Stormwind Harbor, only to find that its still the same as it was on the PTR
7. Get a shave (and possibly a haricut)
8. Read the patchnotes online and see if there's anything else to do
9. Continue Grindin' (Luckily, it'll level up my pet now!!!)
10. Listen to the Beer Song while grinding
11. Try to find a mp3 version of it for free

*Sadly, the realms are down and will remain so until 5 EST (or is it EDT??) for some realms, and 6 for others. Seems that the two I play on are 6.... grrr*

Yay Internet!!!

Woot! Google, you ROCK! I have found a solution! Time to upload some photos!!!

HALP

My screeenshots are broken, as whenever I take on they don't appear in the folder. I'm not sure what happened, since my earlier ones did. Now I can't take any screenshots to post on the blog, and I need to fix this problem ASAP. Someone HALP ME

My Addons

I'm want to compile a list of links of all of the addons I use and tell if I like them or not and why. But with such a busy schedule, it might not happen for awhile. Be patient.

Grindin'

Silver War Talbuk, Cobalt War Talbuk, and White War Talbuk YOU'RE MINE! (Well maybe not the white one, can't decide) I'm barely into revered after grinding for a day (During which I got 6 thousand rep), so I'm hoping to get my 21 thousand needed rep by Friday at best. I'm afraid Blizzard will have one of those "oh we think we're smart" moments, and remove the Talbuks for players level 71 and above. I hope not, since patch 3.0.2 is coming out tomorrow. Good luck toward fellow grinders trying to get their Talbuks and anyone who wants their Amani War Bear before it gets removed (I never got one and never will thanks to Blizzard thinking their so smart)

T-MINUS 2 DAYS

PATCH 3.0.2 COUNTDOWN TIMER

Calling Earthen Ring Players

If anyone has a character on Earthen Ring, feel free to add me to your friends list. I'd be happy to join an arena team or a guild (as long as you do Friday kara runs)

Time to get some money

Lately I've been on a spending spree, and that's not good. It's time to start my dailies again... ugh...

WoW Armory

Elstor of Earthen Ring

If anyone has suggestions about better pieces of gear please tell. I don't have that much time to run kara unfortunately, but I'm trying to get as much better gear as I can.

Me and my pets sittin' in a tree....

I love collecting pets- the count right now is at 48 and growing. With Wrath I'm hoping to see lots of new pets. So far there's the Ghostly Skull, Proto-Drake Whelp, and a few others that I need to find links to, like the Giant Sewer Rat. You can find my full pet collection here. My 70 is a hunter that leatherworks and skins, so no engineering pet for me :( If anyone else has a collection better than me, feel free to show (I'm sure lots of people do)

'Bout the Blog

This blog is going to be centered around me and my experiences in World of Warcraft. I'll give tips, strategies, and my personal experiences while traversing through Azeroth and Outlands. I already have a level 70, no epic flying mount yet, on Earthen Ring. I've already pre-ordered Wrath, so now it's time to wait... Get comfy folks.
