[LotRO] Weekend Screenshots

I’ve had a lot of fun pushing into the (old) expansion of Moria. If only I’d known I really should have done that whole entry chapter first so I can get all that snazzy legendary weapon experience!

[D3] Weekend Screenshots

I don’t have a single screenshot from my time in D2. The prevailing images that I carry around of my days in previous Diablo games is a shadowy darkness punctuated with moments of intense fiery red. However, I can’t seem to stop clicking the screenshot button in D3.

[MoP Beta]: Pics of the Week

I was included in the wave of invites over the weekend, and in addition to making copious notes that I hope to get posted in the Beta forums at some point, I wandered around in first-person just enjoying the environment. While I probably won’t be posting very intensively about the Beta, I will make a point to flag posts that include beta information for those that love surprises!

Minipost: Sorry Mac

Your secret is out:

I swear it wasn’t me!

This is what happens when your poor guild-mates get mentioned on your blog. People searching for them often end up at your place, and you get to giggle over the devious searches folks run on them.

A Week in Screenshots

Primarily, I’ve been hanging out and killing the same stuff in WoW this week with little variation in my schedule. However, I’ve slowly been gathering candids of my raid team as I have the inclination (and a good shot!) This one is our lovely shadow priest perched high above the Frozen Sea.

Minipost: Nostalgia

It’s funny how the littlest things can bring back the past, bring the game of several years ago back into sharp focus. As I was flitting around Ironforge, delivering a Lovely Charm to my favorite faction leader, I ran across Sognar Cliffbeard.

Minipost: What IS Solar Beam?

Ever heard a lazer chicken splutter? It’s not the easiest feat, especially with that beak of theirs. But over the weekend, as the hubby and I ran some randoms and worked on some Cata dungeon achieves, I could hear the anguished cries from the other room “Oh COME ON!”

Why you ask?

Because I think we didn’t meet a single tank who understood what a solar beam was.

While a well-placed solar beam is sometimes placed on a lone caster to lure it into your tank’s waiting arms, more often, a solar beam would be dropped directly on a packed clump of mobs only for the tank to… remove them.

So ignore your cat-like reflexes which pull you out of dangerous AoE bad stuffs, and stay in the bloody solar beam! Your boomchicken will thank you.

Screenshots: Pics of the Week

These aren’t exceptionally great screenshots, but I enjoyed them all the same.

First up is my new mount which I can’t decide whether I want to ride or secretly covet. I almost wish I’d waited to roll on it so I could have seen my whole raid team decked out on one, but I just couldn’t help myself:

It’s just such a pretty mount, and it’s my first “boss” mount, so come what may, it’ll always be an important part of my story with Production Company.

The second is more because of the circumstances around the shot. I was doing this quest in Loch Modan where you hide in a bush in order to sneak up (and spray) your unsuspecting victim. I suspect that they intended you to use the bush as you reached your quest objective, but instead, I ran around the entire area in my “disguise”:

As I aggroed my 2nd murloc on the way to my quest objective, my husband asked:

- What do you call a dwarf and a bush?

- I dunno. What?

- Russell.

Gotta love the corny!

Minipost: Do You Know JA?

I recently congratulated Navimie on her blog’s 2-year anniversary (Go Frostwolves!) and she sent me a lovely little present in the mail.

As I knew all the answers (apparently I’m not drinking enough), I thought I’d let you test your skills in defeating my hand-crafted crossword challenge.

Enjoy!

Merry Winter Vale!

There’s something wonderfully fun and lighthearted about the Winter Veil season that keeps me entertained year after year.
