Blaugust 2022 – 6 – The first night
I feel like the first time raiding with a new team is like going on a first date with someone…

On reflection
For a little while now I’ve been feeling myself drifting further and further away from World of Warcraft and the community. I can’t pinpoint the moment I started shifting, but I find myself now feeling oddly separated from everything. It’s like I went to a party and was having a great time, laughing and dancing…

Cinder & Thor in the USA – Blizzcon part 2 – Blizzcon Day 1!
By golly I’m so behind on these. We are finally up to the good stuff, though! Actual Blizzcon! Our Blizzcon adventures actually started the day before, on the Thursday before we headed off to Disneyland, where we got up a bit earlier to line up for our passes. This was our first real feeling of…

Cinder & Thor in the USA – Blizzard HQ
There were so many things I was looking forward to about this trip, but one of the things that was right at the top of that list was getting to visit Blizzard HQ…

Cinder & Thor in the USA – Getting there & settling down
We ended up packing our suitcases a few times to help shuffle the weight around. We had a few big boxes of gifts to give to people while we were in the USA, and then of course we needed to pack clothes, which was interesting because we needed to pack for potentially hot California and…

Who’s getting stabbed in the back tomorrow?
Tomorrow the gates of Azshara’s fabulous Eternal Palace open, giving us a brand new raid, with loads of new boss butts to kick. And with it (hopefully) will come some answers as to the next part of the Battle for Azeroth story. I for one am so pumped for this! I have some ideas about…

The stupid is strong in this one…
Oh lordy. I’ve been quite sick all week this week. It’s just a cold, but it’s been a big one. I’ve been off work for almost the whole week (thankfully being able to work from home), and am still recovering now (I sound like a hag! It’s actually kinda funny lol) Despite being quite ill…

Avengers and Blizzcon and Harry Potter – oh my!
Note: there are no spoilers in this post for Avengers: Endgame or Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This is a safe space! What a week it has been! With all the public holidays happening over Easter and ANZAC day, I decided to fill in the blanks with personal leave to get 10 days off…

Now scheduling: Blizzcon hype
I’m currently in the middle of a different post, but I saw that the Blizzcon2017 schedule was released today and just had to squee about it for awhile! Seriously, the hype is oh so real. Blizzcon this year looks AMAZING. There are so many panels that I’m planning to watch, that I don’t know if…

Z and Cinder’s blog challenge topic 5: Cinder, NPC
I don’t know about others, but for me the dream is to have an NPC named after me in WoW. I know, so lame, but how awesome would that be?! Getting to see yourself in game – what a treat! But what would an NPC in WoW be like if it were based on me?…

On saying goodbye
It seems to be that barely a few weeks go by before we are saying “farewell” to another Blizzard employee. And it’s always followed shortly after with the chorus of “Blizzard is collapsing” or “this is the end of WoW – even the devs know it, that’s why they’re jumping ship” conspiracies. What people tend…

Great expectations – getting the most out of Blizzcon announcements
Blizzcon is this weekend, and the hype train is speeding along. I, like most fellow WoW players, are hanging out for any news about Legion. I’m pretty sure the one question everyone wants to have answered is “when will Legion be released?”. It’s a fair question – people are excited about the game and they…

All about the loot – Blizzard goodies!
Last week I received a very large box at my work. Inside the box was Blizzard goodies! I finally got around to making some space in the apartment over the weekend to give them a home and thought I would share them with you.

What I want from Legion
Legion has been announced! I’m still reeling from it all. There is SO much awesome stuff coming in this new expansion, and I am super excited about it all. But there a couple of things I want most of all from the expansion. Firstly, I’m not going to bother recapping the content of the announcement…

Free Heroes mount!
Heroes of the Storm is finally launched and available for the whole world! I haven’t been playing it nearly as much as I should do/want to, but that’s another story. What IS fun news is that to celebrate the launch, we can all get a free mount by playing a silly little game! It’s actually great…

Visiting CosplayPy
Today I went to visit CosplayPy’s tribute in Talador. It’s really fantastic! She starts out as a little sha-touched sprite darter called Pydarter. The dialogue is really sweet and mirrors the dramas she had at the last BlizzCon. At the end she turns in to Grand Empress Pydarter (just like her costume!) I think it’s a…

Blizzard Watch needs your help!
Many of you will be aware now that WowInsider (and joystiq et al) have been shut down by AOL. (As of a few hours ago, the WowInsider twitter account was taken over, so any new tweets you see are NOT from the original staff!) This is really a terrible loss to the WoW community. I…

Hearthstone on iPad!!
I’m so excited! Hearthstone is out on iPad! Can I please go home now so I can play? Here’s the info on the Hearthstone website (which is also where I grabbed the above pic from). For those of you who can’t find the app on the iTunes store, here’s a link for you: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/hearthstone-heroes-warcraft/id625257520?mt=8 So far…
