Chaos, Panic Disorder . . .

Pretty much, my main gripe is the changes to WoW with Cataclysm . . . Somehow I have a feeling I'm not really going to like the changes. It'll also mean all my characters on Borean Tundra (let alone those on Cairne) will lose a lot of their quests because those areas will no longer exist . . . It'll put an unfair advantage to the higher level toons who have all those quests under their belts to do all the new lower level quests to get the achievement for questing in the two kingdoms . . . And what about the Bloodsail Admiral title? You get that by being hated with Steamwheedle and neutral with the Bloodsail. Once the goblins go Horde, can the Horde get that achievement? I was waiting until I had 70's at minimum before starting that achievement . . . I don't think I'll have anyone high enough on Borean Tundra to do it. Cairne, I can take my Aztec where he's a 70 DK and I just might have to . . . The only thing, right now, I like are the worgen (but, then again, I like anthropomorphs anyway.) In a related note I was bad. I subscribed to the live stream of BlizzCon . . . Surprisingly there was little I really was interested in . . . but what there is is enough. Plus it's interesting to see what goes on. It's fun to do other stuffage on the net while listening to the talks. Makes for great multitasking >.>

There's also been some spammage on WoW, too. Moreso than the normal. Behind teh cut to keep the post size down. ( WoW it's spammage! )

Other than that, it's been hot. Really hot. I hate hot >.< They say it's the hottest week of the year and I believe them. Even the humidity and dew point have been high. But no storms. Last night we had a bit of rain. Right before I went for the bus we had a bit of rain. Now they say very bad storms going through with possible winds of 70mph, hail and a tornado or two . . .I am SO not looking forward to that . . .

Don't believe it? Here's proof.


Other than that, except for the fire department coming in with a tanker, lights and sirens a blazing into our parking lot yesterday (I did smell burning mulch but no one said boo about a fire or smoke or anything) only to leave a bit later (as well as the smell of burning mulch) so I guess either we had one one the other side of the building or the bank's money was just too hot to handle . . . I know, bad joke >.<

I bought a bus pass for next month. It'll be easier and cheaper. That way Saturdays I can make multiple runs and not have to pay each and every time I go or try to remember and get a transfer ticket.

Later today I'll do a regular post but I figured I'd share this. When I tried logging into www.worldofwarcraft.com I got this nice, white page with black lettering:

Myndflame Brings Us An Illegal Danish III Prelude!


How can something so familiar feel so foreign? The machinima makers at Myndflame recently released their latest World of Warcraft-themed movie, Illegal Danish III Prelude: The Ballad of Dirti G. If you’re a World of Warcraft player who feels something is missing from the StarCraft universe, the creators of the Illegal Danish series have sensed your internal disturbance, bringing you a hilariously off-kilter redux of the StarCraft II cinematic trailer, now with 100% more gnome action.


It’s about time!


Watch the Illegal Danish III parody side-by-side with the official StarCraft II cinematic trailer here.

Now I get to go and have the fun of running scans for keyloggers and stuff. So much for daring to log into anything. Only LJ and Dreamwidth I have it set so it automatically logs me in. IJ I don't where it's so hard to log out (well, last time I had to switch between my Shimmerwing and Quill of Life it was hard) which is why I'm glad I linked my IJ account to Dreamwidth ^^ At least I can post it there until I feel safe logging into sites.

Ironically, every other page on WoW's site works, all you need to do is bypass their start page. I looked around the forums but no mention of it yet >sighs<

Oh well, here's to scanning for bugs.

Eddito: I looked up Myndflame and they're a big machinma addict and all over the place. All scans came up clear so I'm assuming they only hacked the homepage of WoW to boost their ego (because they could do it) as well as to promote their machinma . . . and quite possibly get banned from WoW as well as other legal actions for hacking and defacing a website, especially one as popular as WoW is.

As of 9/6 here's my Cairne list on WoW. Stats and pictures behind the cut for ALL of my Cairne group. ( From highest level to lowest. )
Right now Lianna isn't my most active, though I'm getting back into working on her to get her to 70. Yezhyevika was my most active but I've shelved him for now in place of Nyokamchomo and Mchanaumeme. I had an idea of taking the ones I really liked and building them all up to the same levels (meaning getting them up to 20 and once they all were 20 to 30 and once they all were 30 to 40 and so on and so forth so I'd have at least 6 level 70's by the time WotLK comes out.

Forgetting the HUGE XP gap between levels from 60 onward . . . And I thought over 150k was bad just to go up a level . . .

My current naming system is like this. Tauren I pick from any Native American tribe that fits the character. Trolls are either African (hence why the influx of Swahili names,) Caribbean, or, maybe, East Indian. Dranaei are going to be Russian based from now on. As for the others, I really don't like belfs, humans/forsaken or dwarfs (though humans/forsaken I'd take from an Old English or Old (insert medieval European country here except Ireland/Scotland) and for dwarfs I'd pick from Scottish/Irish sources.) The other races are ok. For Gnomes I'd try to pick from something that was fanciful technology (hence fizzlesticks since gnomes seem to keep backfiring their inventions.) That way I have a greater chance (and so far no name has been taken) of successful names, something I can remember, plus it makes them racially unique. The rest I'm not sure since I basically play Tauren, Trolls or Dranaei.

Post later on today for the day's stuffage. I wanted this, more than anything else, to keep a record of my characters.
