Back to Business

Since I finally got my computer back and finally playing WoW again, I have found one major nuisance. My Leatherworking game on the AH has changed. Competition is different minus one persistent sucker. Sucker because he/she wants to play the Heavy Borean Armor Kit game and do so buy severely marking up and with only few posts at a time. Also a sucker because at several times he/she would buy up my auctions just to relist them, only to find that I put a whole new batch up as it happens. See, I was buying my Borean Leathers for cheap, real cheap, using Auctionator to spot individual price and I would buy up anything under a set point. This allowed me to convert into Heavy Borean Leathers and in turn make Heavy Borean Armor Kits, Traverler's Trappers Kits, and Mammoth Mining Bags. All of which were consistent sellers. And while everynow and then someone would try and play, I was able to undercut so greatly that no one stuck around long after. Some may stick it out for a little back and forth undercutting, but ultimately I was always able to go much lower than anyone else was ever willing, all because I am always buying up all the cheaper Borean Leathers.

Problem is getting back into this game after such a long absence. The Borean Leathers are no longer as cheap as they were, and new competitors are trying there hand. Sad thing is, one of these shmucks isn't even a LWer. I spotted him/her begging in trade for a LWer to craft the items I work on. So I know for sure he/she won't be lasting long, because on top of any time investment if they just skin, or the AH costs for buying up Leathers, they now have to add in tip to the equation. And already I am noticing a drop in his/her productions. However they are trying something a little different now and thinks it's gonna slip past me. Instead of listing the Heavy Borean Armor Kits individually, they put a few up in stacks of two. So I put out a nice little F'U message and did the same, undercutting yes again. I just think it's funny. That is all

I'm back in the saddle again.

So yes. I am back. Been without wow for too long. First my main comp went out on me. So I fiddled around with it myself while playing WoW on my old comp. The graphics hurt my eyes adjusting to the hugely decreased graphics and performance. But I never updated my virus protection, not really bring worried about it because all I ever did was play WoW. Didn't touch the Internet for anything else, except my dad did, and he neglects to use Firefox over Internet Explor and it got hit hard. Must have been the swine flu of cmputer viruses because it was put out of commission indefinately. Somehow put my computer in a loop when trying to run it in safe mode. So I finally gave in and let professionals handle my Gaming PC as they are more able to order parts and return to figure out the problem. And as I expected it was the motherboard. But on top of that, one of my two graphics cards as well. Bummer. Well last night I picked it up and before playing had to go through a complete uninstall/install as some files were corrupted and wouldn't allow a patch update. Then after that long process I hopped on and immediately was overjoyed by the crisp clean and sharp graphics with awesome framerate of 50-60 in DALARAN of all places. So glad to be back. But had to get my addons back since now I need some of them after using them for so long. I actually found myself at a dummy before getting them back on, which was when I realized I needed them. And luckily I managed to log on and dance with Catrina at the last minute for that Dance of the Dead achievement. It's good to be back on. But still not sure if I want to allow myself to get completely sucked back in. It was nice not feeling like I had to play all the time.

A Momentous Occasion

For the few who have actually read my blog during the time I actually updated it, you would know that I have been a bit of an achievement hunter and collector. So it would be no surprise to those of you that after such a long absence I would finally update again during the Brewfest. Because for many it is the last Holiday needed, that's right, What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been is finally done. And I now have myself a new baby, the Violet Proto-Drake So thank all of you who have been around as I posted screens of each Holiday title earned. Thank all of you who supported my crazy world travels for Elders and Summer bonfires.

And now... the screens.


So, I dropped a keg on the bar and started drinking up. Before finally dancing on the bar, I drank one too many and vomited beforehand. Yay alcohol.


I got a nice letter from Alexstrasza herself along with the Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake



And the glory shot, cheering as I fly high and fly fast above Dalaran. What you don't see is he/she seems to be a gassy Proto-Drake as clouds of purple gas trail behind him/her. Is there a Lemon-Law for these things?




Does this mean I'm done? Of course not. I still need to hit 75 pets for Lil' Game Hunter as well as needing to hit up mounts for Mountain o' Mounts. And of course, before Blizzard starts messing with Old Azeroth I should attempt to finish off Loremaster of Kalimdor. So of course I am not done. It's just a matter of whether or not I find time to blog about it. Until next time, good luck to all of you and your goals.

Grunty is all mine

<.insert lazy post because I don't want to reinstall whatever software needed for transferring pics off my Camera and Camcorder onto this old PoS computer I am on because my newer Gaming PC is sidelined due to faulty Graphics Card. Heck, it'll probably be easier to just plug the cameras into my TV then take pictures of the pictures off the TV via iPhone then email them to myself thus completing my "Digital Transfer">



Along with the ugly Tier 8.5 Rogue helm. Better than the blue iLvl 167 i had though

BLIZZCON 2009!

I know I don't post much anymore. But that's because I been playing more. The Shaman is officially way better geared than my original main Occeleta and I kinda feel sad about it. Especially since I will be doing some light cosplaying. The inspiration of my light cosplaying is Occeleta.

NO u sickos no. I am not gonna dress up like a female Night Elf.I am a guy and trust me.... no one wants to see that. I will leave that to the hotties. But what I will be doing is probably the best outfit ever in game, and that's the fishing outfit. I've posted screens before, screens very much like this one.



So if you happen to be at Blizzcon and see a 260 pounder in Blue Overalls and a yellow straw hat, chances are it's me. I might even be at a fishing pool if I happen upon one. So Let Go Fishin'
