Anyone really bored and want to run kotonoha thru zf? ^_^;

I have a billion quests and it'd be nice if i could get that wolf helm.

As always, lemme know if you need meef to run anythin for ya.

p.s. we haven't done any arena this week have we?

So I finally got my gloves, weapon, and cloak enchanted. Luckily I had shards in the bank for savagery... yeebus that shit is expensive.

'cuz of that i've gotten back into questin and bombing shits... which in turn got me thinking about getting that skyguard cross trinket... 10k rep to go ;_;

you guys seen the patch notes i assume? can't wait for frikkin real time honor gain! more pvp dailies! no diminishing returns on honor! gift of arthas stacks to 20! ... ... ... oh wait, alchemy still suxxors as a main's profession ;_; i wonder if there's anything worth switching to at this point... mebbe enchanting for ring 'chants? meh so 'spensive to lvl that shit...

anyhow, you fools gonna be on for arena sometime?

la la la

Never know what you'll run into waiting to rez...


Most exciting end of an AV I've ever been in. We were actually losing 80 to 160 or so... started fighting over mines... it got down to like 20 to 40... then we slowly pecked them to death F T W.


And I got my new gloves recently! woo! I even enchanted them! (well not at the time of the ss...)


Now if Bendyr would just log on we could get this week's arena out of the way...

I'm coming back

yes, I've said it before, but I'm leveling my lock again. I started grinding around in Nagrand with a felguard grinding build, it was good stuff, but I was getting a bit bored and frustrated with running around with my slow horse. So ... I decided to cheeze my way to to the top ... by killing boars!

There's an NPC there who will heal you ... so I specced destro / nightfall for ultimate grinding speed. I tried hellfire, but the NPC doesn't heal you quickly enough. I'm constantly life tapping, but hey I gained a pretty substantial amount of bars in under a couple of hours.

Also, I played some BG last night, got some rep for one of the daily quests, I was in the top 5 for damage!

Oh yeah, I'm also playing on my work computer, it's a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 gb RAM, with a GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MB of VRAM. Way better than my current set up. I don't end up

I'll put some screenies of my boar culling tonight.

Gold Farmer

This one's so obvious I'm surprised it hadn't been done before:



Like so many other wow videos, the vocals suck, but the lyrics are amusing enough to keep me interested. Best lines:

If you ain't no nub holler "Master Loot Scrub"
"Master Loot Scrub, yeah!"
It's just something that you need to do
cause when she leaves your group, she's gonna leave with blues.

How goes it folks? I haven't been on much lately... suxxors cuz i'm so close to getting a new belt and gloves.

You guys still on a lot? I forget... what times should I aim to be on for arena? For me I usually get home around 7:30 to 8... after work out and stuff it's usually around 9 to 10... so if i do log on, it's generally around then. i don't mind getting matches out of the way though, so just let me know if 7:30ish is a good arena time for either of ya.

Lack of play time has mostly been due to anime recently... the post title is the name of one of the many i'm currently following (shakugan no shana [plot description has some spoilers about half way through]... there's also a manga version i'm reading, and a light novel series (that the whole thing is based off of)... which i'm also reading ^^;;) ...anyone else still keepin' up with anime?

Thottbot awesome

Just thought I'd share this little bit of thottbot awesomeness I found while browsing:
http://thottbot.com/i13397

Anyway, I'm back in NYC now, so I'll be available for arena matches at more regular times. I finally got my pally (Calkulon) to level 40, so I think the really crazy AOE grinding can begin.

We do what we can because we must.

So wowhead links just became a whole lot simpler! Wowhead just released a simple javascript package for blogs, so I've upgraded our template, and it will now create nice popup links for ANY outgoing wowhead item link automatically! If you want to be fancy, you can include the "class" attribute, which will color the links accordingly, and then you use "q1" for common, "q2" for greens, "q3" for blues, "q4" for purps, and "q5" for legendaries.

Non wowhead links are unaffected. It seems a lot faster and cleaner than the old allakhazam links, and it's certainly much easier for us to create. Here are some samples:


<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31109" class="q3" >[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]</a>

<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32044" class="q4">[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]</a>


Becomes:
[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]

[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]

This is also a good time to let you know that I bought my new S3 chestpiece! [Vengeful Gladiator's Leather Tunic]

Not exactly a forum, but the comments on this item made me smile.

it's that time again

sooooo sexay


sooooo laaaame



FINALLY! YEEEEEEBUS

Wherefore art thou Slotr...

So... paid name changes are finally possible on Dragonmaw, and I have a problem. So most of my 70 toons and 29 twinks follow a consistent naming convention. They're all aliases of the Futurama character Bender, with some 'y's and phonetic mispellings thrown in.

• Bendyr


• Fleckso (another bending unit, who he impersonated on a few occassions)


• Coylette (his name when he became a fembot)


• Bloto (his alias when he was in the mob)

However the other toon that I play is a 49 druid right now. His name is "Slotr" and the idea was that I was going to earn him a "sergeant" rank before the old honor system went away. That never happened of course, and now he just doesn't fit into my naming scheme.

Obviously I'd like to retain the "Bender" related naming conventions, but I might have to expand the list to general "Futurama-robots". I'm thinking either:

• Kalculon


• Hedonismbot


• TinnyTim


• Rodriguez (Bender's last name)

Or I can abandon the robot angle entirely and go with just other Futurama characters/concepts that sound cool for a character:

• Elzar


• Slurm


• Poppler

And I can misspell the names as necessary to get around existing character names. Any thoughts or other ideas?

Update: Thanks Cowchan! How could I have forgotten Superking! So the name change gui seems to hate any name with the word "King" in it, so I had to actually go with "Superklng" (that's a "L" instead of an "I"). I also had to share the "success" picture that they give you when you do a name change, because it's priceless:

dwightshroot, i avenge you!!!

Couldn't have asked for a better setup. Priest and hunter grinding together, low 30s, finishing up a fight (although I think they were still both ~80%). Ganked both of them in about 2 gcd's. gyoooohohohoho



Got a mage later for good measure.

loot whoring ftw

so the ubers have been rolling in at a nice rate lately...

new bootzors!

new bracer...zors!!!

and the zos mah gahr lewt of the year... hh helm!


ooo and also the ring! forgot to ss but you get the idea

gyoooooooooooooohohohohohohohohohohohoooooooooooo

now to level kotonoha and pwn bitches in the 40-49 bracket

Farewell, BBQ...

So yes, after talking it over with Meef, Cowchan shall be taking a leave of absence from the BBQ. I've been sorta recruited into another guild, and the prospect of raiding and no longer having to do full PUGs has brought me over.

This isn't to say that I'm leaving you guys (cuz I'm still totally down with Chicken N ROFLs), but more of an opportunity to expand the BBQ's connections to the WoW universe. But yeah, other than that, nothing has changed, besides the little name that pops up next to my character tooltip when you see me in-game. But as I also don't want the presence of the BBQ to fully die, if you ever see a Pally named Skylaraa walking around, I'm sure she'd appreciate an invite to the guild.

Anyhoo, let's get our arena rankings up, and get us our epix! BBQftw!

wassap

So what are youfs up to? Any particular ubers being worked on?

I've kinda made it goal to up Meef's pvp prowess and get a decent (i'm hoping 1600+) arena rating. To that end I'm working on a spreadsheet to plan my upgrades... either of you know of an "aep" type rating for warriors (pvp oriented of course)? Just for the hell of it I tried 2xsta, 2xres, 1.5xcrit, 1xap, 1xstr, .2xhit, .1xparry, .3xagi... pretty sure that's not balanced properly though -_-

Kotonoha, Nayuki and Mahanaxar are kinduv on hold for a bit, mostly because I've rolled a mage on a pve server a coworker is playing on (echo isles).

In other gaming news, I've been playing soul calibur 3, portal, halflife 2 (finally completed it!), hl2: ep 1, and geometry wars... so yeah... too many games, too little time...

joining the masses

So given my reduced playing time and pvp focus, I've decided to respec arms for a while. given my lack of arms pvp experience i'm really sure what i'm doing, but hopefully it'll be an improvement. well... maybe. i have a really shitty sword. it's a green i bought off the ah since i didn't have a 2h sword ;_;

but yeah, some new goodies include ms, deathwish, improved intercept (-10s on cd), piercing howl and second wind... now i just need to gear up with some pvp equipment... and get used to using all these damn new skills. yeebus. smashing ms ever 6 seconds, overpower when i can... trying to remember to pop deathwish when it's up... grargh.... as prot i could just drum my fingers on shield block, revenge and shield slam with an occasional spell reflect or intimidating shout. ^^;

Finally...

After a long few weeks of blowing my cash on Crystalhide Handwraps and a Vengeance Wrap, I timed it so that my cash flow and my rep with the Skyguard peaked at the same time...
Hells yes. It's about damn time.

Bendyr: DPSer, AFKer, Director!

So when my Toshley Station transporter malfunctioned yesterday, I was unable to fight or mount up for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It seemed like the perfect time to try the new built-in video capture mechanic in the Mac client. Here is the result:



Toshley Station Transporter Malfunction from infomofo on Vimeo.

It was kinda cool, but the process slowed the framerate a ton. Also, I can't find a place to share the full resolution video. This site vimeo is slightly better than youtube in terms of quality, but it's still not great. In the original source video, you can even read my chat and combat logs.

UPDATE: Found a better site to upload to, and I triggered a cooler debuff this time!



The only problem is it doesn't play well with my firefox and I can't get the embed to size right...

Arena points ftl

Sadly, after using the new arena point calculator, it'll still be the same amount of time to get my epic crossbow whether we drop to 1300 or jump up to 1500. Crazy, huh? Not to say I'll be slacking off in any arena, but it makes me feel better about having the worst win/loss record on the team.

BTW, has anyone tried the new voice chat yet?

Bendyr は 貧乏 です。

With great drops come great expenses :/

I almost had to cry when [Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation] dropped in Kara yesterday. Sure, it was a huge improvement over my blue gloves, but TWO sockets, an enchant, and everything was already going to be a hit on my waning money supply.

Like I said before, whenever I get a certain amount of money, I start buying crap. I was up to 900 gold last week, when I decided for some reason that I needed a [Riding Crop]... Then I saw a [Relentless Earthstorm Diamond] for 100g on the auction house, which in my defense is a steal. And of course, I was buying flask mats and pots and healing potions and repair bills...

I'm down to 300g now... and tomorrow I'll have enough points for my [Merciless Gladiator's Bonecracker], which I know I should be really happy about, but all I can think about it how much those Mongoose mats are going to set me back...

If anyone needs me, I'll be at the Orgrimmar Blood Bank.
