Screenshots

Day 29: Black

 The black and white effects the sha leave behind are kind of eerily pretty.

Day 30: All done.

Seish is all done killing sprites for the day.

And that wraps up my screenshots for Tycertank's November Screenshot of the day. Haven't decided yet if I'll take part in December. Probably not because of the holidays and going out of town, but I had loads of fun with these and want to thank her again for hosting it!

Happy Thanksgiving/Pilgrim's Bounty

Day 28: I am grateful for...

All these crazy people I play with! (And the ones who aren't in the screenshot too) This was from an old Well of Eternity Guild Run. We used to stop and take pics of our Night Elf incarnations at the beginning. Right to left: Syri (husband's mage), Divi, Roy (Os' retired priest alt), Alice (Ret's warrior alt), Nyv (my dk, who has a mohawk). Apologies for the editing. This was before I learned how to turn off names for screenshots.

     And in honor of Thanksgiving and Pilgrim's Bounty this is a post about the things in Azeroth I'm most thankful for.

-I'm thankful for this beautiful game which has given me numerous hours of fun and enjoyment.

-I'm thankful for my husband who is (mostly) patient with my playing it and who joins me in Azeroth for many adventures.

(Syri and Rim leveling)

-I'm thankful for my friend SprYte who got me into this by Recruiting me and giving me my copies of the game and BC. :D And who plays Roz and runs around with Seish when it's leveling time and joins me in all sorts of ridiculous silliness if I just ask her too. Actually I have to be grateful to SprYte for a great deal of the awesome in my life.

(Seish and Roz getting ready for a race through heroic Sethekk Halls. Because.)

-I'm thankful for my friend Os who was one of the people who welcomed me into the game when I first started and made it so much fun for me. Before she left for a bit she healed Rim through countless Cata heroics and helped me get my tanking confidence. Later she came back to it again and plays with me a lot.

(Os and Tai. One of the rare shots without Os' helmet)

-I'm thankful for my friend Yavi who finally gave into my pestering and let me recruit him into the game and helped me level Khaelyss and is generally just a wonderful person to be around.

(Yavi and Khaelyss and goggles)

-And I'm thankful for Divi and Ret (In the screenshot up top, but sadly not as present in my screenshot folder as I wish). They are part of our D&D crew and who are almost always game for helping with whatever we dream up in game too.

-I'm thankful for so many other people that I only know in game. All the people whose blogs I read that inspired me to make one of my own and who have been nice enough to read my silliness and add me to their lists. If I try to list everybody here I'll miss people for sure, but the ones I've been lucky enough to add to battletag and talk to in game (so far*) are: Kamalia, Matty, and Repgrind. But the rest of the awesome people in the Old Ladies Raiding Guild, I am thankful for all of you. I've had so much fun running with you!

    I love World of Warcraft. It's a fun game with so many things to do. But the very best things about it are the people I spend time with in it. And those people are what I'm the most thankful for this Pilgrim's Bounty/Thanksgiving. Thank you for existing and being awesome people!

*My battletag is PlaidElf#1103. I welcome blogger friends :D

Two Days of Screenshots and Miscellaneous stuff

Day 26: Message

A signal is sent out. But what Rhonin says? That's a message. I still love hearing it, no matter how often it happens now.

Day 27: No!

My first play through of the Jade Forest when the cut scene started with the fighting at the foot of the statue, all I could say was. "Oh no. Oh no." It still makes me so sad to see it.

     There'll be a Thanksgiving post later. But for now, had a good day today. Seish got one more Secret of the Empire. One more to go... and then it's on to the next random drop thing that'll take ages to collect. But I'm still happy about it. Tyl helped the littlest Death Knight run ICC with some awesome heals from Ret's Alliance Priest. It was fun. Os gave Fal a bunch of runthroughs of Stratholme and Fal now has portals! He's so excited.
     And on the note of Fal: Laen is leveling and his gear is a hodgepodge of mail and plate that just looks AWFUL. I may have to screencap the awful for posterity later. Fal on the other hand is also leveling, and his gear looks like this:

     I'll admit the wrists are mogged because he got some really ugly purple ones. But the rest of it's what he's actually wearing and aside from those boots being kind of... ahem... interesting on a guy I don't think he looks bad at all. (Though he is also awfully fiery looking for an arcane mage.)

Quirky

Day 25: Quirky

My friends and I do somewhat quirky things sometimes. SprYte's Dust and Tai decided to have an epic duel on the bridge outside Halfhill this evening, complete with bad movie dialogue. Since they're both healers the epic duel ended in a draw after a very long time. But it was fun and amusing.

Harsh Words

Day 24: A Word

Seish using the Glyph of Harsh Words. I have to wonder what he's saying. Apparently it hurts.

     I try really hard not to use harsh words in dungeons or raids. (Not the glyph so much as the stuff I type.)It's easier for me to remember not to do this on Laen because it'd be really out of character for him even when people do really dumb things. Also no matter what I'm playing, but especially on a healer, I try to make a point to tell good tanks they're good. Because it's always nice hearing you're doing a good job, and tanks tend to catch a lot of crap. Three cheers for good tanks. Laen loves you, Seish appreciates you keeping his surprisingly squishy plate clad self from taking the brunt of the damage, and Tyl tries to remember to keep growl off for you.

Old Ladies Raiding Guild: Firelands

Day 23: Simplicity

Orcish architecture seems simple until you look at the details a bit more closely. There are a lot of little details in WoW, in the end I couldn't find anything that seemed very plain and simple but still made for an interesting screenshot.

     Today didn't start off very well for me, but it ended up being pretty good. I had stuff in real life that made me late for the Old Ladies' Firelands run but they were kind enough to find a spot for Tyl when I finally got on. So at least I got to help down the last three bosses! And we did it! Did it quite well too. :D Ragnaros died even though we only had one healer (Go Mataoka!) and there was fire all over the place.

    Yay, we are conquering heroes! (Snowthorn sat out the fight so Bloodstone could be available for battle rezzing.) I need to get better at getting good screenshots of everybody. But that was lots of fun and did a lot to make me smile after a sort of crappy day. :) 

     Then to make things even better Seish queued into Wing One of SoO again and got three Secrets! In one run! Only two more to go. He also got the same pair of boots twice off of the Sha of Pride. They weren't an upgrade either time, but I don't even care. The RNG was still pretty nice to me this evening.

Day 22

Day 22: Behind

Behind the meat vendor in Thunder Bluff. I'd forgotten how pretty Thunder Bluff was.
