Warcraftian Thought Process

Been spending an absolutely retarded amount of time on tumblr lately. Just been on nas long enough to get cooking dailies out of the way as I attempt to finish off the cooking achievements she has left.

- And now Deathwing has killed Ovan.
- really, you'd think I'd remember what was happening from when Nas was killed
- but no
- totally just stood and looked around in confusion.

- ran around leveling Ovan's mining and engineering. that's about all I did today.
- yay?

Once again I have skipped many days of playing because I have been lazy.
Recap time!

- Nyxondra is now level 85!
- it took me so goddamn long because I could not STAND that retarded snuffling the worgens do when they stand around too long. For serious, its the same nose my dog makes just before he's going to vomit.

- so Nyx is now a Dwarf.

- which also got OMG BRB Icecream Truck [ Alliance Slayer ], seeing as I was killing her on Nas
- killing her in Halaa
- I get both honor and Halaa battle tokens for that.
- I consider this a good cause
- (it took 7 deaths for me to remember to take Nyx's armor off...)

- what else...?
- Raz is still parked in UC, Ovan in org, Khyte in Agmar's Hammer...
- oh right!
- Vyragosa!

- partied Vyra and Nas up, and dragged her through RFC. Taking her to WC right now, actually
- got her Inscription up to 46, too

- Alrightie, WC is completed on Vyra, and now I will be going offline for reasons of I need new pants. :p

Hey everyone!
okay, so it's doubtful anyone is reading this, but I can pretend.

So while I haven't posted anything in a few days, I have played. Some. Kinda. I've been very tired recently, okay? And there's also the fact that my laptop has been dying even harder than before.

But there is good news to be had! I HAVE MY NEW COMPUTER!
In fact, I am posting from it right now as I wait for 4.0.3 to finish patching. Isn't this GRAND?!

haha. Anyways, it was a damn good thing that I got my dad to come with me to pick it up. The impression I'd gotten from all the stores I'd visited while considering what computer to buy was that the tower would be fairly compact. This was so not true. It's about the same length as the width of the couch I'm currently sitting on, and a good foot and a half high. There is no way I would have been able to carry the box it came in all by my lonesome.

The next thing I need to get is a new monitor. I've been using a widescreen monitor for four or five years now, so this big square thing just seems awkward. Not to mention it's actually pretty old and the pixels are going in some places. This shouldn't cause a problem for video-taking or making, it's just like... hazy blurry spots here and there.

and while I know the first thing I should have done was to install my antivirus programs, the first thing I did was install vegas. Followed by starting the cataclysm install (the computer came with up to the last wrath patch installed), and THEN my antivirus programs. Don't you love my priorities? :p

Anyways, I do have warcraft up on my laptop right now, since it's going to be a bit before I can play it on this system, so I'll get down to business.

- Achievements gained over the last few days: [ 35 Exalted Reputations ], [ Emerald Void ], [ Amber Void ], [ Grand Ice Mammoth ]

- that means I did, indeed, get Lower City rep up to Exalted
- and I made 8k gold to buy a mammoth
- then there was the whole "destroying my toe" thing that stopped me from getting any more achievements on tuesday
- it's hard to raid, even them easy wrath heroics, when you've been bleeding for ten minutes and it's all you can think about.

- so, 94 mounts are mine.
- now to figure out which one to go after next...

- Guild reputation is sitting at a cool 200 from Revered
- a few more dailies and I'll be a Veteran of omgbrb
- oh, and omgbrb is now a level 7 guild.

- wtf?
- so someone comes running up while I'm doing Glop, Son of Glop, and attacks. That's cool, this quest is designed with that in mind.
- But...
- Glop despawned
- I go running back and Norsala has already respawned. Not only respawned, but been set off on the quest, and Glop is already off and running.
- thankfully, when I tagged in on Glop he didn't despawn but that was just weird.

- booyah! Revered with the guild.

- time to dig in and do some Keepers of Time reputation.
- only need Keepers, Dragonmaw, and Earthen Ring to get the guild achievement [ Dungeon Diplomat ]
- and I know Lyx/Mad will get Dragonmaw and Earthen Ring before me.

- or maybe I'll just run around killing critters for awhile. We're sitting at 18924/50000 for [ Critter Kill Squad ]

- apparently I am doing neither, as I am running off to do low level quests.
- and now I'm doing archaeology

- aw yeah, I got my new computer set up and I am dual boxin' the way I've always wanted too.
- without glitches.

- gonna take some getting used to with this keyboard, though.

- and then I went to go rescue my mother from the snow and cold. 2 hours of driving later, and I get home just in time to do some raiding.

- Killed Sarth
- Killed Kael'thas
- took some video for "Black Temple"

- got archaeology up to 525

- drank 3 beer

- I think I'm good for the night. Time to work on customizing the new computer a bit more.

Running Lich King tonight. In the meantime...

- going back to Kara to defeat Nightbane
- mmm delicious reputation
- Nas is now sitting at 9120/21000 Revered with The Violet Eye

- switched over to Ovan briefly. Picked up like... 5 quests. Did 4. Logged off.
- did the same to Bre

- and now Nyx

- back to Nas!
- and apparently I can't trash kill Black Temple, even with Lyx for back up.
- we need Mull
- but he's at work
- so no Mull for us.

- Lyx has logged.
- gonna do some dungeon rep grinding
- to Sethekk Halls!

- I should probably empty my bags first

- aw, no mount
- but I do have 8392/21000 lower city rep now
- on to Crypts!

- ...empty your bags, idiot.

- full clear of Crypts and I am now at 10511/21000
- Half way there!
- lets see how much further shadow labs will get me

- okay seriously. why do I keep forgetting to empty my bags?

- I've only successfully soloed Murmur once, and I don't even know how I did it. Chance, maybe
- crossing my fingers that I can do it again, but I'm only going to make one attempt at it

- ...
- that's hilarious
- I was PLANNING on dying, as an easy way to get back to the entrance
- and then I defeated Murmur
- go figure.

- as a bonus, that full clear has brought me up to 13643
- that's 7288 rep from this afternoon
- guess that means if I do full clears tomorrow, I'll be exalted by monday.

- Thrallmar rep is at 13335, so I should probably do that next.
- but I want to do my dailies first.
- to Tol Barad Pennisula!

- commendations are up to 91 now
- 74 left to go.

- to ramps!
- and yay I remember to clean out my bags
- mostly because I put 12 stacks of netherweave on the auction house...

- came out of ramps with 15711

- and I forgot to empty my bags again. But this time I didn't notice until 90% of the way through Shattered Halls
- full clear has brought me to 18513 :D

- BOOYAH
- exalted with Thrallmar, and I haven't even defeated the last boss of Blood Furnace

- moved on to... something, I don't remember what. then we went on the Lich King Raid
- there was much amusement and much death of Paikan
- death aside, we didn't finish all that much. We're going back tomorrow, but I get the feeling we'll be headed back on Monday night, too.
- and it resets on Tuesday so...

(and apparently I completely forgot to post this last night. Again. I gotta stop doing that.)

- was on very briefly this morning, did some of Elders of the Dungeons, which I have put off for like... three years now.
- discovered that I can still get rep from Wrath heroics.
- discovered that I can solo Wrath Heroic trash.
- Also that Utgard Pinnacle gives me rep in normal
- I will obviously be abusing this

No gaming yesterday as I was going to the movies with some friends. Saw Black Swan.

It was terrible.

- Tol Barad is in progress, but I don't feel like pvping right now.
- Working on [ Hinterland Quests ], have 7/30

- I wonder if they're going to do anything with Seradane... it looks kinda sad all empty-like.

- thar we go, hinterlands done. Which means I've finally finished the back-log of achievements for that loremaster I got months ago ;p

- where oh where is the Lost Relic taking me today...? Northern Stranglethorn, apparently.

- attempting to solo AQ40
- w00t I can take down 4 trash at once
- buuuuuut not the 1st boss
- this was kinda expected.

- molten core... nah. for the amount of rep I get, it's just too slow by myself. maybe on the weekend with omgbrb

- bored now.

- 25 new items on the AH from Raz's bags.
- mostly random shit. some enchanting mats, food stuffs and the like.

- logged onto Nas, and popped [ Last Relic of Argus ]
- Welcome to the Bad lands, Nas
- time to work on some Archaeology. I'm up to 400 points :D

- picking up dwarf bits in the Hinterlands
- oops, just flagged pvp since I apparently had to dig in the middle of Aerie Peaks
- good thing I'm level 85.
- just as I mount after picking up my last piece a couple of Alliance showed up
- how amusing!

- Lord Godfrey says: For pity's sake, Ashbury, cover yourself. Your leg bones are popping out.
- Baron Ashbury says: I did not bring this wretched affliction upon myself, Godfrey. It was a "gift", remember? Now kindly enjoy the "gift" and shut up.

- TB refused to pop for me twice today, but the third time worked.

- got the achievements for Silverpine and Hillbrad quests

- archaeology is up to 420

- am now farming rep in sethekk halls

- got distracted doing a ton of other shit. I'm not going to cover it all because I don't remember it all.

END OF THE NIGHT:

FUCK YEAH BEAT ILLIDAN'S FACE IN

yes, it's not quite as impressive when you have six 85s, an 84, and a 76 doing it but NYAH.

Short play time today, I've got a party to go to tonight and still need to wash out the booze bag.

- Raz and Nas have been checked for mail.
- Neither Dark nor Silver are on, so not going to be doing 3s or 2s.

- got Bre's leatherworking up to 140.
- she is currently half way through level 51

- Ran around working on my archaeology.
- finished a mail helm. It's for level 70s. So it's sitting on Ovan until that improbable day comes.
