With a Little Help From Your Friends

The friends we make in game don't only exist in Azeroth. Many of us who play together become RL friends. As in game we support each other, so in RL we do too. A friend I made some years ago when I joined his guild has consistently been there to listen to my troubles and offer words of advice or support when I needed it, and no doubt the same for many other guild members. So, we wanted to get together as a group and let you know that we are here whenever you need us. For chats, a rest from day to day things, serious boss fights or general silliness! Hopefully things are looking up now and continue to do so over the next few months! We wish you well and many /hugs, Penthea & Bairanax!

Our favourite pets all showed up too. Though some of them are hiding. Pooh bear just doesn't have a clue.

Veralin may have spent a little too much time at the gym. Work it! Flex! :D
A few others would have liked to be here too but unfortunately could not make it. They send the same warm wishes!

How Many 'Awesomes' Can I get In One Post?

After days of 3k queues, tonight I logged in to this!


And it was awesome! And 5 days free play? And winner of my guild's member's choice transmog award! Tonight has been awesome. Giggly little gnomie is giggly! I even managed some solo Firelands. Which previously was an epic shitstorm for me. Alysrazor's super saiyan ground level flashy lights always left me feeling ill but tonight I managed to kick it's ass. Alone! 


Tomorrow I will work on some other gnomie to get her ready to PvP again soon. Wheeeeeee, Warlords of Draenor is beginning to look awesome!

Sleep Tight, Hope the Bed Bugs Don't Bite

I finally got into Draenor this evening. A few glitchy Garrison episodes and some toad squeezing later and I'm all ready for bed. Giant flower picking is very tiring.
Where am I supposed to keep that?
My Garrison feels a little busy and there's random dudes in the barracks so I picked a spot outside to rest my weary lil gnomie head. Night night folks!

This place could do with some work...



Last Memories of Pandaria

Sooooo satisfying when they form a death queue!

Uhmmm are you sure about this, Wrathion?

Nanananana Bat Gnomie!

They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them

Waaah so cute, huge me!

Final plank of Pandaria with my good friend, Penthea!

A New Beginning

And so it has begun. A new world, a new challenge. The world of Draenor awaits. My queue is looong but so far I've found it worth the wait. I've played a total of about 3 hours and spent countless hours in queue before giving up. But for the little time I've been there, I've enjoyed it. The world is not as much to my taste as Pandaria but it's pretty nontheless. And the quests so far have been fun. But the thing I love most so far is setting up my garrison. I have 3 followers. Brave ones. Possibly the bravest in all Draenor! And I shall send them on allll of the quests! I love the idea of the garrisons very much. But aside from that there is not much to tell. Soon though, there will be a wealth of tales to share!

Whoot! I found a pretty, pink shiny

You no can haz my shiny

Aaaaand Breathe!

So, I've given the new patch a few days to settle before I posted again. Sadly, I still feel the same about my gnomies. I don't think that will change. My monk is not too bad, she can carry bitch face, but my mage not so much. Though when they are asleep or dead they look really great. Just a shame that didn't carry over.

Sleeping Beauty


After my overwhelmingly negative reaction I thought I should post about some of the positives! I love, love the new male dwarves. They look absolutely awesome...and ripped! Really impressed with the changes made there. I love that my frost mage is all frost now (and that I don't have to take Living Bomb) but I dislike that I can't have Mirror Image as a standard spell. I miss Alter Time a huge amount, though it has caused me many a death (landing back in Thunderstruck, anyone?), I absolutely loved that talent. Brilliant for PvP too, imho. Movement seems way more fluid and smooth now. I do feel a bit like I'm doing a 3 button smash when DPS'ing, which I'm not a fan of but I guess when I play more and have a rotation that will change. 

Anyway, back in I go! More updates to follow!
