Bastion: Really fun game. Awesome narrator, great music, beautiful artstyle.

Heroes of Newerth: Only when my brothers invite me and I feel like playing. Generally, I like playing ranged support heroes; my favorites so far are: Plague Rider, Rhapsody, and Slither.

Overall, I'm pretty horrible and still learning, heh.

Mass Effect: Playing the first game to re-do my "canon" FemShep. Virmire'ing Ashley this time.

Will make a Renegon MaleShep eventually. Hm, I should probably do a post about them someday...

WoW: Alright, to make a long story short: visited family in August, found out they still played WoW (On a different server!), re-activated account to play with them on new server.

Made a druid! Tried Resto, still don't like it; Feral 4 Life~ I'm probably going to cap at lvl 79 and do some old dungeons or something. The community's changed, too. : /

As a "Just For Fun," here's a small list of Games I've Started and Should Probably Finish:

Fallout: New Vegas: Never really got into the 3rd game, but I really like this one. Post-apocalypic Vegas? Yesss~

Okami: Rented to Wii version for a while, got the PS2 version instead. : /

King's Bounty: Oh, Heroes of Might and Magic III, how I've missed you. King's Bounty has similar gameplay, except you control only one hero and don't take over towns. Fine by me!

Joshua finally hit lvl 80, so guess what was the first thing we did as a group?

Went straight to Ulduar. Yep, just the three of us.

There are videos out there of people 2-manning Flame Leviathan, so... Hey, why not? Let's do this!

After a few test runs wipes, the farthest we got was with 2 Demolishers, me and Chris piloting each with Joshua on the turret. Got him down to 2 million health.

Then, we finally got him by using 1 Demolisher. I was piloting, Chris would be catapaulted onto FL, and Joshua focused on getting the pyrite.

And then, we decided to trio H-CoS.

I was a lil' worried that we couldn't do it, but... we somehow managed. O_o;

Looking forward to doing these again tomorrow later today. >:D

Oh, the Shattering's coming, too. Most likely going to make a tauren pally, hm...

So... Joshua had this sudden urge to come back to WoW. Maybe it's because everyone on Steam is playing Fallout: New Vegas instead of Left 4 Dead 2... XD

He stopped playing at the beginning of BC and has a lvl 60-something dwarf warrior. I used to party with him with my NE hunter, but she was deleted a long time ago. Alliance are... ugh. (And I still somehow managed to level her to 60 back in Vanilla... *shrugs*)

He's rerolled Horde this time and made a troll warrior, leveling as Fury. (And is planning to make a troll Combat rogue, troll Ele shaman... Because "Once you go troll, you don't reroll" amirite?)

"OMG, you should level with my baby druid!" I said. Yes, I've made a second druid; this one's going to be a BoomTank.

Damage and healing is pretty high at low levels. O_o So much so, that Joshua is able to solo instances around his level.

However, he had a bit of trouble with the group of troggs in RFC, so I brought my baby druid along to help. And then we duo'd RFC.

As of right now he's already outlevel'd me. I don't get Boomkin until lvl 29, hnnngh.

Patch 4.0 was released last week, so I figured I should come back and check out all of the weird/awesome changes they've done. (Please mind that it's been over a year since I've last played. :P)

Let's start with druid!

Oh, we have a Kick now? Gotta make new macros, yaaay~ Kitty Feral Charge to free Ravage, wut?

Need to make glyphs for all of my characters, ladeeda~

Hunter next! Taming spree, whee! (I actually made a list of all of the pets I was gonna tame, ha.) Wut iz dis? Fervor? Focus Fire? I have to press Kill Command instead of leaving it macro'd to BW? Wait, BM actually has more buttons to press? Huh. Will take a while to get used to the Focus mechanic though...

Does my proto-drake ever flap his wings anymore? He, like, glides all the time now. :|

Also, ground mounts at lvl 20? Epic ground mounts at 40? Flying mounts at 60?! What is this, I don't even-

. . .

Need to work on my professions. And getting my druid better PvP gear. : /

(Well, today is WoW's 5th Anniversary. Just thought I'd post something WoW-related.)

So, back towards the end of August, I bought a WoW game card to reactivate my account.

Did it out of pure boredom, really. (And I didn't know that DFO was going to released a few weeks later! D: )

Totally missed out on the 3.2 patch. I updated my add-ons and re-did my UI from scratch. Looks almost the same as last time; though I did lower the unit frames a bit to put the casting bars above them instead of below...

Druid's feral forms got a new look, yay! Didn't like the white lion that much, so I sent Khalil to the barber's for a color change. Kimahri-lion fits him best. :P

Oh! And there's also a new Spirit Beast with the patch! Got Skoll after camping him for about... 3 days. Also got the Time-Lost Proto Drake mount too, haha.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any screenshots of my pets. >_o But I do have all the Spirit Beasts, along with King Krush and a wolf (Really! Check my Armory!). And yes, I'm fully aware that there's another Spirit Beast coming in 3.3. -_-;

So... yeah. Just waiting for Cataclysm now. Maybe.

And now for hunters! I hear a lot of people complain about the lack of bar space, especially for this class, so I tend to stick modifier macros where ever possible (and whenever the abilities "fit" together)!

If you don't know what a modifier macro is, here's a basic one.

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Disengage; Wing Clip

This one will cast Wing Clip as its default, but, if I hold Alt, I can then cast Disengage! Neat, huh?

I also use modifier macros (using that exact layout) for Distracting Shot/Kill Shot, Flare/Volley, and Aspect of the Pack/Aspect of the Cheetah. :3 (You can do the same thing with traps, too... But I like seeing all my trap buttons, haha.)

And so, onto other hunter-y macros!

Yeah, I know I don't play WoW anymore, but I figured I should at least post some of the macros I've used for my characters... Starting with my druid!

Spirit Beasts. They're not the best at DPS, and they're so. Damn. Hard. To. Find. Augh!

...But I love hunting and taming rare spawns. X3 Used to do it a lot back in the Vanilla days... Good times.

Aaanyways...

Ever since my hunter dinged 77 in mid-April, I've been patrolling the edges of Sholazar Basin, hoping to spot Loque'nahak. If I got bored, I'd park my hunter near one of his spawn points (the one west of Skyreach was where I mostly hung out) and do something else.

Well, countless hours have gone by and I still haven't seen a trace of him, not even a corpse. But! I'd still fly around the Basin and park near Skyreach, ever remaining hopeful.

Patch 3.1 comes. Still haven't seen him yet, fff... Oh, wait! Gondria's introduced in this patch!

*flies to Zul'Drak*

*does homework and checks Gondria's spawn points*

*more hours go by without ever seeing a Spirit Beast in the wild... EVAR*

. . .

Disappointed, I ask the flight master to take me back to Sholazar. I had recently installed NPCScan so I don't have to fly around and press a macro at the same time. I thought that the add-on didn't work as first, but when I was about to land in River's Heart...

*screen blares and chat reads "_NPCScan: Found 'Loque'nahak'!"*

Gah! Hurry up, land already! Now, where did this pop up? ...In the southern spawn points?! *mounts up, and flies to check the two gorilla spots and Skyreach...*

He's... not here! Where could he be?! (In a sense of panic, stupidity, and OCD, I fly though those same spawn points AGAIN.)

Someone says in General, "loque'nahak." Feeling desperate, I immediately reply, "Where?!"

A rogue invites me to a group. He's at the spot north of Shango, and NPCScan proc'd when I was at River's Heart... Wait, wut?

I start to fly towards his location. "My add-on triggered... Didn't know where exactly, haha," I type. Why didn't I take more notice as to why he lost 5k health and is typing "haha"?

I was greeted by the Spirit Beast's corpse on April 28th at 11:32 PM. Yay, I've been searching for about two weeks and finally see him... dead! </sarsacm>

(Yes, I like to type with neat grammar in a MMO. Sue me. :P) I skinned him and received his pelt "of the Marksman". At least I know NPCScan works. And... I also have an idea as to when he might spawn again. My sanity is saved!

*fast-forward to four days later* Dang it! Haven't found him ever since! Screw it, I'ma look for Gondria. (Loque may have a beautiful color scheme, but his anatomy looks wonky to me. I tend to like Gondria's spectral theme overall...)

May 3rd, 5:10 PM. South of the Altar of Quetz'lun.

"_NPCScan: Found 'Terror Spinner'!"

The spider dies, and my hunter gets the Northern Exposure achievement. Will Gondria spawn around 5:30? 6:00? With new found determination, I circle Gondria's spawn points for the next hour and a half.

6:46 PM. I'm heading towards the area west of Mam'toth's Crater. And guess who's waiting for me?

I'm lovin' his spectral appearance, the ghostly aura and footprints, the sound of his roar... And, most of all, the Moonfire-like Spirit Strike ability which I rarely get to see/use because my druid is Feral spec'd. XD

...Yeah, yeah, I know he does sub-par DPS! But he's awesome and was definitely worth the camp. Don't give up, fellow BM Hunters!

So, the Noblegarden event started yesterday.

I'm not much of an achievement seeker, but the ones for this event are amusing. Most notably "Shake Your Bunny-Maker." Apparently, our server lacks female dwarves (Which server doesn't?!), trolls, and orcs.

. . .

OH HAY WAIT. I HAV A FEM ORC LOLOL.

And so, being the nice person that I am, I logged on to my hunter and parked myself near the Horde-side bank, by the well. I was almost immediately swarmed (kinda?) by Alliance.

(Please ignore my bars. I forgot to remove the hotkey and macro text, eh-heh. Also, I got a wide-screen a few days ago! There's so much space now... <3)

I stood there for a few minutes, getting bunny-ear'd and doing /clap to people who finally got their achievement. One guy also tipped me for helping everyone out. ^ ^

...I'm still a bit creeped out from all the emotes I received. And all the males wearing pink dresses. Carrying pastel-colored bouquets. And Easter baskets. /shudder

Let's see, I've filled talent points for my druid, hunter, and death knight. Also bought dual-spec for my shaman too, eh-heh. (I... like their healing style. :O)

Then I did a few WSG matches with my brother (his main's a 'lock) and decided to call it a day. :P

Need to update all of my add-ons, arrgh.

...I'll introduce my characters in another post. Someday.

Delete blog on main website. Make a "main" blog on LiveJournal and join WordPress to make a World of Warcraft blog.

...It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Not to delve any deeper, but I'll leave the WoW blogging to the other (and better) writers out there. XD

. . .

Well, this was going to be the header of my WoW blog... First lineart I've completed for the year, so might as well color it. : /

Ugh, those horns were hard to do. (And I'm getting lazy at drawing hair, too...) D:
