Raiding With Navi

July 9, 2012

So last night was another Laid Back Raid hosted by JD over at Amateur Azerothian. This week’s offering was a Horde excursion into Blackwing Lair. I prepared ahead of time by finally running my lazy butt through UBRS and remembering to turn in the quest at the end so I would be attuned to the orb outside and could port directly into the instance. That came in handy because I was then able to use Have Group that evening to get the raid into the place without everyone having to be attuned or run through UBRS.

We had a big group for this one. I guess more people play Horde? Or more people who blog and are interested in attending. Then again, last week it was on Saturday instead of Sunday, which is the normal night for it, so maybe that was it. Anyway … there were a lot of people, including two of my favorite druids … Kashina from Blog of the Treant (aka Khizzara) and Navimie from The Daily Frostwolf. Now, I’ve hung out with Kash before … I have alts on her server. But this was the first time I got to meet Navi in-game, so it was pretty awesome. ^.^

Female tauren are just so awesome.

They let me need on one of the elementium ingots that dropped, so I could get the last one I need to turn in the quest at AQ for that sweet scarab shield. I passed on all the others that dropped. That was just icing on the cake though, getting to hang out with everyone was well worth it. The main man behind The Warchief’s Command Board even popped in towards the end!

Still no Ashkandi. That stupid thing never drops. I’ve only seen it one time in all the times I’ve been in BWL. Oh well.

Thanks for a great night, guys! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make next week because I will be hanging out with my SR guildies IRL. But I’ll be back in two weeks ready for more fun. 🙂

Yeah, so … my regular audience can mostly ignore this. Don’t ask, you don’t want to know.

Kestral, I got all four things in here. Hopefully I didn’t forget anything.

Clicky for bigger version.

Sorak, I think you’ve got me beat on teh cut/paste skillz.

It doesn’t matter what game it is … get two people together who know Sorak, and things like this happen all on their own:

Bleh. Why you so small, pic? Why?? Whatever.

One week! I get to hang out with Sorak, Slice, and Lyss for reals … like, not online type stuff. It’s gonna be awesome.

Taking orders now if anyone wants me to, like, pull Sorak’s hair or anything. Only 10g!!

Celebrity Sighting

July 3, 2012

So … I was reading about these fun cross-server classic raids over at Amateur Azerothian. When I noticed that this previous weekend’s event was Trial of the Crusader, I had to get myself in on this. I know a lot of people got sick of the place, but I love it. Yeah ok maybe part of that has to do with my Tirion crush. What can I say. So I got hold of JD and exchanged stalker ID info and promised to show up.

Saturday night rolled around and I was cruising Northrend flames on Kerick at invite time. JD asked if that was who I was bringing and I said ‘yes, unless you need a tank.’ Well, you know what’s coming next, right? Yeah … so I hopped over to Kalyon in his half-blue, I-think-I-can-tank-T11-now gear. Well, it’s only TotC, amirite? Then I see the other names start to fill up the raid, and one makes me do a double take. Kinna … omg … what?!?!

Image

Yeah. If you’ve been around the WoW blogosphere at all, you know about Need More Rage. Ratters was already well known back when *I* started blogging. So yeah, I was pretty floored by that. Kaly and Kinna … tanking TotC together. (or at least Beasts, he got to ret the rest)

Image

Of course, with cross realm raiding, there’s no Have Group … heck, you can’t even use the summoning stones. So we had to find ways to pass the time while we waited for everyone to get there the old-fashioned way by flying to the entrance themselves and going through the portal. Well, I don’t go anywhere without a Brewfest Party Keg so I dropped that sucker and we all started drinking.

Image

Oh yeah, that Kinna … she’s just Kaly’s type.

So anyway, we kicked ass and took names in TotC. Then we rearranged the group a little and did OS3D. And then … gulp … we went to Ruby Sanctum. Yes, yes, I know it’s pretty easy now, but you still need people to not get hit by cutters and whatnot. Fortunately, I got to stay up top. I’d done some tanking in here before but never on the bottom … and apparently also never successfully, because I got the cheeve and the quest completion upon his death.

And since a lot of people were killing him for the first time and we had so much fun, several of us posed for screenshots afterwards.

That is one nice looking collection of ponies right there, folks.

So … if you’re looking to have a good time on a Saturday night, check out Amateur Azerothian. He’s got a schedule up there and everything. You’ll get to rub elbows with lots of cool people!

(I apologize for not really knowing who some of the others were, I was kinda starstruck by Ratshag’s presence. Sorries! >.< )
