20 Days of WoW! Day 1 - Introduce Yourself

While I sit and wait and wait and wait... for WoW to download, I decided that I should start this blogging challenge in hopes that I will be done downloading in time to play the Pandaria Beta!

Well my name is Michael, and I am 29, and a closet gamer. Been playing WoW off and on for 7 years. My first real guild totally imploded... Google "Gilgamesh and Onyxia server" and see what happens! I took a 3 year break to devote my life to FFXI (Holla to CaitSith and the DarkMercenaries!)... I work as a bartender at a river-view restaurant. Pretty amazing gig, Work hard and play hard... Talking about playing hard, I do that on occasion... I just got done backpacking Europe for 35+ days. Pretty exciting stuff, saw and experienced so things I would never have been able to.

I also use to teach snowboarding, did that for a few seasons before moving off the mountain. I love the outdoors, gardening, drinking beer, women, playing games, golf, and camping... lol... That totally sounds like a match.com profile...

Here is a quick pic from my trip to Naples, I am the one on the left

I do enjoy writing in my free time, and look at this blog as practice for some ideas in the future. If you do enjoy this, I have a real life blog, Awkward Moments

Well I am off! Time to go and enjoy the sunshine!

The DARKSIDE was Terrible!!! FUCK THEIR COOKIES!

That's Right!!! I did go over to the Dark-Side... and the cookies sucked!!! SWTOR, was terrible... I really didn't get it... There was not a whole lot to do... I know, it is new, but come on!!! Don't release a product that can not even compete on the level of WoW... I can hear all the Fanbois, saying, "Nevernude, its new! They are adding new content everyday! I mean it is on par on Vanilla WoW!!!" 

You know what I say to that??? BULL SHIT!!! 

If I was designing a MMORPG for today's market, I would make sure it was at least on par on with the current ones... Why should I wait 2-3 years for a game with options that I can have now??? Makes no sense to me, and if it doesn't make sense to me, GOD HELP US ALL!!!!

Now I am re-installing and hoping to get my pony back... Blizzard you won this round... May your Dreams be filled with Pandas!!! 

I need a HUG!!!!

The journey to 85, is filled with peril and assholes! I do not know how many times I have straight up been kicked out of groups for having just a sword or a book... Has WoW become full of 3 button mashing monkeys that we have lost sight of what we are really supposed to be doing here... and to answer that question... its not obtaining loot.... or running dungeons under 10 mins... or making fun of people out of spite... It's CALLED HAVING FUN!!!

I have seen it time to time again, if you do not conform, you must not know what you are doing... Hey I have pitched shit about people's specs, equipment, the companion pet they had... but that was a dick move... Even in today's society you are still out casted for not following the norm... sad state if you ask me!

So a Plea to all of you out there, be more accepting... you might learn a thing or two! 

Oh quick update on the 2012 Journey... 

296/2012 levels which is approx 15% not bad... 

I am doing it on three different servers too!!! Grizzly Hills, Arygos, and Emerald Dream! So come and join the fun!

For all your Information!

Duskwood-Conquered!!!

Yes!! I did it!! I finished 45 quests in Duskwood!! This is so hard by the way, Questing... Reason being is you can only fight mobs that are with in five levels of you... well a mob that is 5 levels lower than me, still keeps it pretty interesting... and then if you do any lower level quests, you do not get any experience which sucks, and the mobs do not  give you experience as well.. so basically you are doing nothing in the game except farming low-level critters that do not really drop anything...

The journey so far has been filled with trials and tribulations, but I will keep my head held up high and go forth towards VICTORY!!! See you all in Stranglethorn Vale!!!!

I Broke Rule One!!!

"1. NO weapons... you may have an off hand weapon that adds stats. That's it, the item can not add 
          damage. The goal is to reach lvl 80 with level 1 skill in all weapons expect unarmed."


Yeah I did Break it... SO what??? I break all sorts of rules, including the most important ones... LOL!!!

But Nevernude doesn't that make you invalid? I mean you should suddenly just explode because of your dire trespassing against yourself????

NO!!  This is why!!!

 

Yep that is a FOAM SWORD!!! 

(Sad part is my fist have more DPS then this....)

I obtained it from the Darkmoon Faire, which I must say is pretty awesome!!! Running in Dungeons whipping this thing around bonking Scarlet Crusaders in the head!!! 

I still cant use any other attacks other then Thunderstomp and Auto-Attack, since it's not recognize as a melee weapon... LOL!!! 

I did just hit level 30!! You know what that means??? NOTHING!!! Nothing at happens at 30... such a sad day... well I am off to collect more herbs and bonk skeletons on the head!!!
