admin on Part Time WoW Tester Job

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:00:14 -0600

I found this job on craigslist today. If you're in the area you might want to check it out Video Game QA / Tester (WoW) – Part Time I really wish more jobs like this would pop up. I've got a technical background but I'm pretty much confined to the home office right now. To find something like this while telecommuting would be incredible. I love my telecommute job right now, but I would love to add some flavor around the edges.

admin on Annoying update times

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:21:47 -0600

Do you know what is really annoying? Blizzard always has their updates during the time when I can play. I can't play at night and I'm usually working mid day. The only time I can play is during my morning time which is when I guess people in Pacific Time are sleeping so they figure no one will be up.

I want to play the server is down for an update right now. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow or just go around killing things and collecting money while I work. *eyes roll* how boring.

admin on Dar'Khan's Lieutenants

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:19:21 -0600

I just finished the Dar'Khan's Lieutenants quest and what a pain it was. The Lieutenants weren't difficult to fight--they were rather easy. Getting there was pretty easy as well. The hard part was waiting for Masophet the Black to show up. Mirdoran the Fallen, Borgoth the Bloodletter, and Jurion the Deceiver were all rather easy and available but Masophet the Black took his jolly time getting there and while you're waiting all his henchmen around him spawn several times and sometimes right where you're standing if you're not careful. I suggest not getting up and going anywhere while you're waiting. Some people claim that he is in one of two ziggerauts (or is it zuggerat ziggarat ziggerats? lol). I found him in the one where Quest Helper told me he was but only after a few tries. I would sit there and wait and then my son would need something and when I would come back two mages would then be attacking me. I would suggest not going to the area if you're going to have little mommy needs at the time. OMG another update right now. It's always such a pain because I have to open firewalls and crap. I'll be back posting about it later. >.>

admin on War on Deatholme

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:09:04 -0600

I just finished the War on Deatholme quest. It wasn't too difficult, just kind of annoying because some of the Eye of Dar'Kahn guys are hard to see on a small monitor. During this quest my Lithellyn jumped to a level 20 and her pet brat is still a 19. It's kind of annoying. My son is almost next to me playing Urban Terror on the Mac and screaming at the guys. It's frustrating. Why do kids get so insane when playing video games? I try to tell him to not be so hyper and sometimes I have even unplugged the computer and say it's just a game. In fact, his brother deleted the little guy's Death Knight last night and there was a big fuss. It was incredibly annoying to hear them fight about it. With the War on Deatholme quest all I received was a pat on the back, experience with Tranquillen, 25 silver and 1950 experience points. Oooh ahh. I signed up for the next quest Dar'Khan's Lieutenants that will give me better leggings than I have now. How did you fair in the War on Deatholme? Did you get any decent goodies along the way?

admin on Assault on Zeb'Nowa

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:36:52 -0600

It's so terrible of me to do that. I haven't been able to play because my job has me so busy but I'm trying. I'm going to try and at least be here 2 times per week. Oh, and not to mention that my son has decided that he wants a Death Knight on my account so I never get to play anymore. Of course he refuses to level his own account to 55 so he can get a Death Knight. I've leveled up my Troll Purringlion to I think 65. She's walking around the Outlands killing demons and beasts and making slow progress given the time I get to play. Today I'm playing with my Blood Elf Lithellyn who lives on Bladefist. I think she's the one with the video on here. She's still a 19 because I've ignored her for so long, but I hope to bring her to the Oulands soon. I really don't want to get her ride because I think it's some kind of an ugly ostrich and I want a horse. Dang it. I'm fighting the Shadowpine Trolls right now while I'm on the Assualt on Zeb'Nowa. I don't have any hints for this quest as I haven't picked up anything exciting and I keep getting interrupted. According to the Quest Log I can get 11 silver and a choice of several green bracers: Sentry Bracers: Mail, 72 Armor, +2 Strength, +2 Stamina Supple Cotton Bracer: Leather, 14 Armor, +1 Stamina, +1 Intellect Farstrider's Bracer: Leather 33 Armor, +3 Agility, +2 Stamina I'd love to know if you find anything exciting here if I don't so please respond. If I find something I'll post as well.

admin on World of Warcraft on an Eee PC NetBook

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 09:39:14 -0700

So I thought I would do a crazy thing and install ROBLOX on my Eee PC. It works okay, although there are some places that build rather slowly. If that worked, then why not put it WoW on it? So I tried it. I did get the information that my machine's hardware wasn't compatible, but I continued the install anyway. And it works. Yes, the screen is only 9 inches, but it does kind of scroll when you have to access something at the bottom. I think what I might do is let my son play with it as long as it doesn't overheat running WoW (which it might.) Who knows? The machine was a whopping $267.00 at Best Buy--a place I will never go to again to buy hardware. They didn't care to tell me about the restocking fee and the $267 was their closeout price, which seemed really high, but then again they know they're the only ones in these backwoods who carry it and I'm such an impulse buyer that I tried it. I hate the keyboard and mouse. If I thought the keyboard was okay, I would install Ubuntu on it and be done with it, but I can't so here it sits. I could take it back but they will charge me a restocking fee of about $50.00. Did I waste my money? I don't know. If I can get it to play WoW and ROBLOX so my son can use it while I'm trying to work then it will be worth the cost and I will just bring it with me to blog until I get the keyboard fixed on my MacBook Pro. First, I have to get my gaming machine built and then I'll fix the MacBook Pro. I can't recommend putting it on the Eee PC or any NetBook for that matter because it might run too hot. I really don't know yet. I can tell you that it works, which is really cool, and that I might even just put some GameBoy games and other non Internet games on it for road trips. My son would be so happy. If you see me on the Eee PC don't try to battle me. I'll be the one staying out of the way because for my hands it's just too hard. When he plays though, the keys will be just perfect. It will work much better with an external mouse and I have one that he can use. Get ready for a very happy kid!

admin on Addon for Quest and Instance Drops?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:08:01 -0700

Okay, I'm being real lazy here.

Is there an addon that anyone recommends that will list the items that drop in a quest or an instance? I use questhelper but I don't think it does this.

Thanks!

admin on A Final Blow Red Key?

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:06:08 -0700

So I'm on this quest for A Final Blow and I'm not even sure if I'm in the right cave and I kill a bunch of Imps and Warlocks along with Rakaiah and some demond thing then I go to pick up this red key that shows up as a drop and my inventory is full. I delete an item and then the key is gone? Hell, I don't even know if this is the right cave.

Now I'm just sitting here waiting for these guys to spawn again. One did but he didn't have the key. Does anyone know if I'm on the right track?

admin on Happy Fun Rock

admin on It's another WoW Update Today

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:42:43 -0700

Oh my, wasn't all the work they did the other day for wintergrasp? I haven't had a server crash on me yet, but I have had to wait all morning to even get on. It's a drag when I play only during certain hours.

Kayaan on It's another WoW Update Today

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:21:12 -0700

Very much like this patch, but it totally has it's ups and downs. Like, serious ones. While they did fix quite a bit, now wintergrasp almost always crashes the servers and arenas are closed! It's like the world is ending! Hope the get it all fixed and put together soon!

admin on WoW Fiction Guidelines

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:01:31 -0700

Want to write a story about your character? Do it here!

1. Stories must be original. Do not copy stories of other people. I understand that story ideas may overlap because of the quests and that is okay. Just don't use other people's words and understand that if the stories have the same idea it's not the other writer's fault.

2. No erotica please. I don't mind a steamy romance, but no blatant written pornography or erotic romance. Save that for the erotic romance forums and Romantica publisher. If it's a steamy romance then label it as such in the beginning so some poor unsuspecting guy who enjoys fantasy fiction doesn't gag.

3. Make only 1 thread for your story and each new post to that thread is a chapter or however you want to do it. Just make sure it is only 1 story per thread.

4. There is no payment for the stories. It's possible once I get the adsense working that you can start an adsense account and get clicks, but for now there is no direct pay. It's just for fun.

Well I don't have any hunters so no combat pets here. But I do have most of the ingame vanity pets. I am working on my petsmart achievment. I am now 9 away. I just got one of the baby crocs yesterday from my fishing daily.
