Two Hours From Level 55

January 20, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I wasn’t tired last night and played until midnight after working a 47 hour week. Crazy, I know, especially since I woke up at 4:15 this morning to get into work early today. The wife and I are going to Canada next month and I only get 40 hours that week that I’m taking vacation time, so I need to buff up my paychecks before to cover for that usual budget padding and to allow us to spend a night or two in a hotel instead of the rest area. 🙂

I hopped on Deadr and played him like a king, trying to get him to 58 to get into Hellfire Peninsula as soon as possible. Aeigelus was already at 65, as was one of our officer this morning. I should be able to find someone to help cover my butt as I get into the new area, since we are on a PvP server. Someone was screaming in guild chat that he has yet to be killed by less than 2 Alliance with more than 50% health so far. I don’t understand why people aren’t just playing to level so far. Why would you want to waste your time killing the opposite faction instead of a quest mob? Nuts.

Adobe Photoshop is crazy expensive, so not everyone has good tools to edit their shots. What if you could use an online editor and then save it back to your computer or upload it directly to your Flickr account? Pix-en-ate lets you do just that. FOR FREE!

Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

January 19, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

Gitr went to Blasted Lands after Oz gently reminded me that the Servants are great weapon levelers. I went and did just that, afte flying to Stormwind to sell off some Major Mana potions and to buy another dagger and some bandages.

Bandages are on the cheap now because everyone is making them to level their First Aid to use the Netherweave Cloth to make bandages. I logged last night with 7 cloth and got some more this morning. I’ll store them in the bank until I level up my First Aid. I just wish Deadr could send Gitr all of the Runecloth he’s getting from mobs.

I got a cheap level 37 dagger to equip in both hands for maximum skill learning, 20 Heavy Runecloth Bandages, and headed back to whack the Servant. [Read more…] about Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

Gitr’s New Duds, Many Bombing Runs

January 18, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I LOVE bombing runs! They are so fun. One of them is repeatable. I finished 3-4 quests and got 2 new usable plate armor: chest and helm, making 3 pieces for the expansion so far.

I’m going to post this pic tonight and finish up tomorrow morning. Enjoy!

Gitr’s New Project: The Weird News Daily

January 18, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

Hey, everyone. I have been working off and on since December on a new site. Before I continue with it, I was hoping to get some feedback on the feel and legality of it. I have noticed many, many news sites have weird news sections, and they are actually pulling down the whole AP wire or something of the sort. I figured that I would need permission of some sort to do that, so I determined my best bet was to summarize the stories, add a bit of humor, and put a direct link to the entire story.

If my faithful readers deem it to be worthy of a readership too, I will put some more daily effort into it and really build it into something I have done here. I have a Feedburner account set up for it for subscriptions, so I won’t just be going based on hits.

Any positive/negative comments/flames welcome. Please lend me a hand here. I’ve got it listed in MyBlogLog, too.

Thanks a ton.

TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues

If there is one reason to buy the expansion, then let me just say the loot is awesome! Forget that you can level up. Forget new dungeons. Spend a few hours doing quests and then go back and play your old dungeons with new vigor. Not that you will want to go back there or forget about leveling or playing new instances, but you do have that option. 🙂

I haven’t quite finished processing the graphics yet, but I finished 2 quests this morning before work. In both cases, the reward was better than Strat/Scholo/UBRS/LBRS blues. How many of us ran UBRS 70 times trying to get the Dal’Rend set, or the chestpiece from Drakk?

This loot is disgusting (* denotes what I chose): [Read more…] about TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues
