Sir, May I See Your Receipt?

April 12, 2007 By Gitr 12 Comments

I am a cranky old man at the ripe age ot 28 already. As a matter of fact, I began one of my cranky practices while I was still in high school. I love Radio Shack. What electronics geek doesn’t? Wires, cables, batteries, and 5 billion things that plug into the wall. It’s a man’s heaven on earth, along with the other staples of Best Buy, Sears, and Home Depot. RAWR!!

Radio Shack has, since I can remember, asked you for your zip code at check-out. Some ask for your phone number. I have always told them they can’t have it or that I don’t have one. I often wonder if they think I’m homeless or a bold-faced liar. Don’t care. I’m not giving them one shred more details about my personal information than I have to. They have my money, and I have their merchandise.

I Would Like an F-ing 3-Pack

I went to Arby’s last week with my wife and I couldn’t help but laugh at the receipt. We’ve eaten lunch there during work for the last few months and I’ve never bothered to look at the line items on the receipt.

She orders a 3-pack of chicken fingers every time. It shows up as FING 3PK. Next time we go, I want to tell them that I want an “effing 5-pack, please.”

Deadr: Master Enchanter

April 12, 2007 By Gitr 10 Comments

I made my way to Moonglade last night and picked up the cloak enchant that I needed for efficient leveling to 300. I got back to Silvermoon AH to buy mats as needed and dropped a bucketload of gold on my Runed Arcanite Rod and got to 300.

From there, I hearthed to Shattrath City this morning and went to meet my friendly neighborhood Grand Master Enchanter. Because I chose Aldor allegiance, I couldn’t stay in SC like everyone else that does their enchanting research before choosing. I hopped on a windrider and flew to Thrallmar.

More Enchanting Down; 295

I bought more weapons and armor last night and got Deadr’s Enchanting up to 295. He needs to get the mats to make a Runed Arcanite Rod (ouch) and get the recipe for Enchant Cloak – Superior Defense. The guide I have says to see Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade, but I suspect I need to go elsewhere to get that for Deadr. She is listed as Neutral, though.

That will cost me 8 Illusion Dust per point, and it goes yellow at 305. I’ll be jumping for joy to get things going for enchanting stuff in Outlands and using those cool rep recipes. Now to work on my reps. Doh!

Disappointing Night in Azeroth

April 11, 2007 By Gitr 8 Comments

I logged in last night to finish up the quests I had in the Charred Vale and finally accomplished that feat, minus the group/Elite quests. With that done, I was supposed to grind my way to within 3 bars of level 25. Heck no!! I hate that little hell hole of an aggo zone. I don’t think my mana ever got over 78% before another mob would wander in and start in on me all over again. If I had a nickel for every time I had to mana shield 3 times before getting another Frost Nova while running toward the basin wall, I’d be a very rich man.

I decided that was not the place to grind, so I’m messing with Joana’s plan a bit and skipping on to the next area before I’m ready because the mobs are actually 1-2 levels lower than Charred Vale and if I kill enough of them, I will be able to complete a quest without too much trouble.

I’m pretty ticked at myself for not uploading one of my best screenshots ever.

EDIT: I got it now, click the jump to see the battle unfold.
