New games, goals, and attitude!

Holy crap, people, you are still checking in here? That rocks! Well, it looks like the whole getting the guild together, playing WoW as much as the spawn in my house do and blogging it just is not going to happen. At least not as I thought it would.

So, we are going to evolve a bit. Seeing as I am no longer within the bounds of an ad network (Aggroqueen just didn't fit the mold), I am going to take advantage of every opportunity to blog for myself and for my readers and of course to test out new games, new titles and new consoles. No, that does not mean I am selling out! What it means is I am no longer censored or fall under any guidelines as to what I can say or not say or what I can accept or not accept (so send me your games, consoles or whatever! I love free stuff I don't have to account for!) or who I can trash and who I should not. (Not that I am a trashing kind of gal.)

Here is your chance to (a) tell me what games you want me to try out (b) send me lots of free stuff --and boy I do love that you have! --and (c) advertise your little heart out! HA!

Actually, I am going to be blogging about WoW more. But I am also adding in the amazing and wonderful Wii! (Oh, people, you will love it! If for no other reason than the amazingly humorous stories that will come out of it.)

So what now? More WoW? Are we guilding? Wanna talk Wii? XBox? PS2? (Sorry. No PS3 yet.) Nintendo DS? Gameboy?

This gaming blog is coming out of the closet--so to speak-- and I am ready to raise some hell!

Are you with me?

I'd like to thank the Academy and David

Apparently My Burning Crusade and the way I was dragged pulled brought into the game of World of Warcraft caused me to be the recipient of the first Blog Post of the Week over at DM Osbon.

Seriously for a blog that is rather new and one that people still can't figure out, I was thrilled that he noticed me and bestowed this honor on my humble blog. Thank you, David.

For those of you sticking with me and still reading, thank you. And when you comment, I am thrilled like a kid in a candy store with 3 weeks of allowance. Free cookies for everyone!

Warlock wins. Mom drinks to cope. Film at 11:00!

Okay, so you want me to start a Warlock. Yeah. Ummm....holy crap I know nothing about this. Okay, I can fake it. I can be the best darn warlock WoW has ever seen. (Or at least this blog. I mean, that is something. PRETEND it is something, people.)

I am starting it tonight, New Year's Eve to celebrate. New Year. New Character. New Frustrations. New (and creative) cursing! This is going to ROCK!

So, if anyone comments (*yawn* you must comment), I will let you choose the details. Sound good? If not, I am leaving it up to chance, luck and champagne. (Which might be a helluva lot funnier if no one comments.)

Warlock it is. If I stay on the server I have been on, I have to stay Alliance. Unless I start new. Ohhhhhhh the pressure. And let me tell you people right now....I expect help! (Please)

I did it!

Yes, that beyotch Marama finally leveled to 22. (Shuddup with the laughter! She has been 21 for like FOREVER and a day and half.) And I had fun playing her. Especially when I can enjoy the bliss that Blizzard does with the Christmas gags. I mean, having her turn into a tiny little Santa gnome that is about the size of my Zergling? Now, that my friends is comedy.

So, I guess I won't kill Marama or keep her locked up in the "you suck I hate you" cage. And my hunter? I have one at 17 and the one I just started at 9. Just waiting for 10 to get my pet.

Oh, and I must share this...

At Clint's work party, I was talking to a co-worker that has 4 level 60 something-or-anothers (Bragger!) and his wife was sitting there. So, I did what I should do (try to recruit) and asked her if she played and if they had fun with it. She looked at me like I was insane and said, "I have better uses for my time. No."

Well, pppfffffffft! I used to say that. But look at me now. Actually, I never said that. I said things more like, "Hell no that piece of crap? I hate hate hate it. Go away... But tell me more first."

Women, we so need to guild up and show that we can do this. And I swear it won't take me a year to level to 22 again. Scouts honor. Really.

Let's rock this World (of Warcraft) and make a Widower Makers Guild! Are you in?

There's a bear. Where? Over there!

So at level 10 everyone gathered around me because something wonderful was about to happen.

Huh

"You can go get your bear form now, Mom. Aren't you excited?"

What?

"Seriously, Bear Form. You should be thrilled to go train and get this."

Pardon me?

Let's hurry and go get it before you log off.

Huh?

I figured it was really good if they were so happy about it. Yippee! Bear form. (But still.....huh?!)

Okay, but why? Bear? So what? I totally don't get it.

With great patience and a lot of eyerolling, they explained, "In bear form, when you shapeshift into a bear, you increase your attack power by 30! And your armor contribution by 180% (still have no idea what that means, but it sounds like I should be happy), and your health increases by 20."

*blank stare* "I still don't get it."

"JUST. Do. It!!"

So yeah, now I can be a bear. ROARRRR! Did I scare you?

But why do I care? Apparently I care becausae it is good for "tanking" so that things can "beat on me and I can take it" so that I can "hold the aggro" while someone else does the killing.

Nope, still have no idea why I need to care. Besides, Marama is so much cooler looking, can dance a helluva lot better and has some great skills. But hey, look! I can be a bear!!

Nope. Still with exclamation points, I don't get it and don't care.

Gamers? Can someone please explain this one because again, don't understand the hoopla over it. I don't understand how (or when) to use this amazing bear form and why I would need to do so. Yet, everyone is so happy that I got my bear form.

Huh?
