We Didn't Start the Fire
This video grew on me over time, org seen posted on wowinsider. I can’t imagine how many tries this took to get the timing right.
Chromeo
Chromeo - “Hot Mess” from Paradoxal Inc on Vimeo.
Found this video while browsing Vimeo about a week ago. Since then I’ve been hooked on this band. It’s not what I’d typically find myself listening to but it has a good beat and is very catchy. Another one of there songs I really like is HERE on youtube.
More Pets and Holiday Guild Ideas
Just noticed that Blizzard has released the Ragnaros and Moonkin Hatchling pets! Naturally I had to buy them. I’m a pet collecting whore I know. At least I’m donating to charity when I buy one of these pets, or at least that’s what I tell myself to go to sleep at night
.
Buying the pets got me thinking, I should do something like this for my guild for the holidays. So far my idea consists of either a 100 to 200 gold opt in. It’s a lot, but at the same time not really. I’m not sure what kind of contest it will be atm, but the 1st place person will be able to choose between a blizzard store pet or half the pot of gold from the opt ins. The 2nd place winner will get the other item not choosen by the 1st place winner.
We’re a smaller guild, so I’m not to sure on how much participation we will see. I’m working with my officers to get more ideas and to get them to participate. Plus, if I give people enough time, we can see a bigger turn out. A lot of people log in during the day when we aren’t even on. No matter what, we’ll figure out a way to make it fun.

Throwbacks and Showcasing Ultra Quality Settings
A unique thing about World of Warcraft is that you can look back on it much like you would RL (real life). In game, relationships are formed between fellow guildies and other friends met in the online world. Despite not knowing these people in RL, you spend so much time with them in the game world that the relationships formed are much like the ones formed outside of the game. It’s not so much as remembering a persons avatar, but more so remembering their online name and the person behind that name. If you spend a lot of time on just one server instead of many, you often run into the same people over and over again. You may end up questing with someone you helped level in a previous expansion or vice versa. I’ve bumped into people, or invited people into my guild, that I realize I’ve ran with in the past. *I’ve played the game for 5 years, so I can put an emphasis on past.*
I recently blogged about a new computer that I bought and I have to say that I’m still very happy with my choice. I’ve been running everything max settings and multi-tasking like a beast with no noticeable loss of performance. I only have a couple of screen caps in game since the new settings, but I wanted to show the difference between now and the past. Some of the past photos which will be labeled, are throwbacks to previous guilds and WoW experiences.
Taken with ultra settings, me and Malfurion Stormrage!
My friend Dylan riding my rocket (inside joke). Picture also taken with ultra settings.
A throwback picture on medium settings. This is the early days of Naxx and our guild at the time.
Another throwback. Medium settings. Left to right, brother’s ex, brother, and myself
Hopefully in the coming months we’ll be seeing more of these picture postings with my current guild, either in a raid or a BG, doesn’t matter.
