Lack in Play

Well I haven't really played all that much since I got back from California but somethings have changed. The Buttered Monkeys a guild I joined with a group of bloggers and readers is up and moving realms. We will mostly be re-rolling but who knows some people may transfer toons. It looks as if we will be remaining Horde which is fine but I might roll and Ally on the server for the hell of it. Well thats all for now when I have more I will write some more.

Argent Dawn

So today I found out why people hate grinding Argent Dawn(AD) Rep. The rewards are awesome, but to get those rewards you have to travel alot and find alot of items. From what I understand pre-The Burning Crusade(TBC) the AD was the only way to get an 18-slot bag. But with TBC tailors can now craft 18-slot Imbued Netherweave Bags and 20-slot Primal Mooncloth Bags, so is it really worth the grind I looked at the other rewards and none of them seemed to be all that good. Maybe my thoughts are skewed, so to you readers. Is the AD grind really worth it are there other rewards that you can get that are really good?

Happy Easter!!

Well I know I am late but Happy Easter to everyone. Tell me how was your easter? I spent my easter weekend doing alot of driving. Me and my wife drove to California to attend an impromptu birthday/easter party. Her father was turning 50 so we drove to Bakersfield, California to visit. It is a long drive to her parents from our house so needless to say the drive alone wore me out. We came home monday morning at 12:20 just in time for me to get ready for work and to post a few things on the AH. The party for her dad was nice just a small family and friend get together, You know how those go good company, better food. The food was so good my dog decided to stand under the grill where they were slicing the Lamb and licked the drippings up and in the process got herself covered in them. So I removed her collar and threw her in the pool, she was not a happy camper but she wasn't covered in grease. Come to find out her ears still reek of lamb juice, She has big hairy floppy ears and anything she drinks generally gets all over them which isn't a problem normally since she generally just drinks water. Well the party was fun the 500+ mile drive home afterwards was not. But we got home safe and the time spent with the Fam was nice.

Character Deletion

So have any of you ever tried to talk someone out of deleting a character? Odd story I had just logged onto my main Drow when I get a whisper from a guy I had grouped with along time ago back when Drow was in his 20's. So we are chatting and he is talking about deleting his character since his friends call him a noob all the time because he can't level very fast. So I tell him to just have fun and not worry about his friends and just play the game to play. But this guy is serious talking like he is about to commit suicide so I put all my superior Military training in recognizing the warning signs into action and try to keep him talking about his character and where he should be leveling at. Oh he is a 32 Warlock by the way. So he is still talking nonsense when he asks me to help him with some quests. So like a good guy I put the Argent Dawn rep grinding on hold and tell him to meet me in Hammerfall so I can help him quest. Well a little while goes by and he shows up we are chatting when WoW stops recognizing my typing, he is just running into a pole and then bam my internet goes down and I get disconnected. So the World Of Warcraft might be down a member today because my internet sucks. So answer me this have any of you ever tried to talk someone out of committing Virtual Suicide? It was really odd I felt like I was running a suicide hotline over the Internet.

Now for a little WoW time!

So yesterday I took my Tauren Warrior Drowurden to 56, A little disappointed with the new abilities I recieved or should I say the upgraded abilities I have recieved. I can't remember the last time I got a new skill short of respeccing into Arms for Mortal Strike. But something I realized was that Warriors really come into thier own after Level 55. I used to not be able to handle more than one Mob without using my Retaliation, now I can handle at least three if I pop a Healing Potion at the right time. So needless to say the Experience (XP) is coming rather quickly and I should be in Outland before long. Also I dinged 25 with my Blood Elf Mage Astranon I killed a ton of quillboars in the Barrens and turned in some quests. Most of the quillboars didn't even give XP but they were needed for the quests. Today I will do a few more quests and hopefully have some greens drop for either Disenchanting or for a little extra mula at the Auction House.

Girls Night Out or In?

Today my wife told me that next friday she is having some of her girlfriends over for a girls night of movies. She then preceded to tell me that I could stay and hang out if I wanted. Now tell me this does any male out there actually want to hangout with his wife and three of her friends watching movies? Now granted I know two of these girls and they are cool but I'm not sure if I really want to hangout and just listen to them gab about girl stuff. I love my wife but sometimes more than one girl on a couch can be a little much. So my wife asks me what are you gonna do then and I told her I was either gonna go watch a movie (Grindhouse is out) or stay in the corner on my computer and play WoW. She said I couldn't do that cause she doesn't want people to know I play WoW. I knew she hated that game but jeez she wants to hide the fact that I am a nerd from the entire world.
