The Fail Blog
Wed Mar 12
Looks like I’ve found a few more minutes, so I guess I’ll keep going with this blog.  Hey Dan, if your reading this, I want my epic flying mount dammit.  This regular one you’ve gotten me just don’t cut it, he’s slow and ugly and I’ve had it with him.  You’ve been saying we’re start saving gold for a sweet new Netherdrake like months ago, but here we are, with hardly any gold, and no Netherdrake! What the hell? Let me break it down for ya folks.  Mounts are how toons like us, get around in the World of Warcraft.  Azeroth is pretty vast and the better the mount you have the faster you can get there.  There kind of like those things called cars you all have in “RL.” Now there are two kinds of mounts, land mounts which are animals that run, and flying mounts, which, you guessed it, freaking fly! I really shouldn’t complain, I do have a mean looking Frost Wolf for a land mount.  Snowflake, as I have appropriately named him, and I are pretty close… in fact that’s him in the picture above.  He’s useful for getting around the zones in Azeroth which the World of Wacraft gods simply don’t allow toons to use their flying mounts.  But let me tell ya, in the zones that do allow flying mounts holy crap, do Netherdrakes rock!  They increase my movement speed by a whopping 310%, not a lame 60% like the goofy looking Windrider that Dan has me perched on half the time.  Partly I blame the Warcraft gods, the stupid skill I need to train to be able to ride a Netherdrake costs 5000 gold.  That’s a freaking fortune!  But I think I could scrape the dough together if Dan would stop wasting my gold on silly items and getting me killed all the time so I keep having to fork over more gold for repair bills.  You getting all this Dan, I want a damm Netherdrake, hurry up and get on it! -Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER

Alright, this post is going to be a rant, just forewarning you all.  I’ve finally found a new way to express my thoughts and I’m gonna use it.  Ok, first Item up for ranting is Alliance.  Man do they piss me off some times.  I’ll be out, minding my own business, and poof, from out of nowhere a group of 5 of the little ingrates will appear and kill me.  But oh, this is not good enough for them.  No then they will continue to sit there, on top of my corpse and continue to gank (known as corpse camping in RL) me every time I try to Rez!  And it just goes on and on, and its like, don’t you jerks have anything better to do with your time?  You’ve killed me and proven your point, now for Christ sake get lost so I can get back to what I was doing.  Nothing gives me more pleasure then rounding up a solid band of Horde buddies of mine and hunting these lifeless jerks down and butchering every last one of them until they spirit rez and run away with their tails between their legs.                 Next, the food.  I am so utterly sick of having to eat roasted clefthoof every single day.  But Dan forces that crap down my throat like I’m some starving scrub Murlock for crying out loud.  Sorry, a Murlock is this miserable little monster in Azeroth.  But yea, day in and day out, roasted clefthoof, always roasted clefthoof he gives me for the strength buff Dan says.  I will admit, I do kind of like the strength buff I get from eating roasted clefthoof.  Oh, a buff is something you get that improves one of your stats, like strength in this case.  But yea, maybe I’d like some golden fishsticks, or some blackened basilisk.  Anything to change it up for crying out loud.  Oh but no, you can’t have those Dan says, that’s priest food or mage food.  Let me spell it out loud and clear, I don’t give a Murlocks ass what character class the food is for, if I have to eat roasted clefthoof one more time, I’m going find a way to jump through your screen and kill you Dan!  In fact I’ll beat you to death will all of the roasted clefthoof bones I have left over.                 Ah, you know what else really gets me?  Ore Ninjas!!  Yea Miners, that’s right, you know who im talking about, don’t you freaking hate those guys?  Oh, sorry, I probably should have mention for anyone that’s unclear, one of the professions I have learned in Azeroth is Mining.  I wander around the land mining different ores and I sell them to make money.  But anyway, I was mining this Adamantite vein the other day, just minding my own business, and from out of nowhere this Troll Druid drops in and starts mining the same damm vein!  So I say to him “dude, get lost.  I found this one fair and square.” But he just grins at me and keeps on mining.  Now I would expect this from some scrub Alliance, but not a troll.  He ended up making off with half the Ore that should have been mine.  Horde or not, if I ever see that Troll again I’m going break his pointy little tusks off and shove them in his ears. -Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER

Alright I’ve managed to find some down time again so I guess I’ll keep up with this blog. Hmm, looks like you should all have a pretty good over view now of what Azeroth is like. Ah, but I haven’t covered what death is like so let me briefly go over that. Death in Azeroth isn’t exactly like death out there in RL. When someone gets killed in World of Warcraft their sprit continues to exist. We can wonder just about anywhere in the land, however when we are in sprit form, we cannot interact with the world around us in any way. In order to come back to life, we have to wander all the way back to where our corpse is and re-enter our body. It hurts like heck dying but you get used to it. Spend enough time in Azeroth and your surly going to find yourself in over your head sometimes. The biggest bummer about dying in Azeroth is all of your fancy gear that your wearing takes a big durability hit. The fancier your armor, like mine, and the more it will cost you to repair when you find your way back to town. If you don’t keep your Armor repaired, eventually it will break on you, causing you to lose all the beneficial stats and buffs it had given you as well. You can’t wear it again until you take it to be repaired by a skilled Blacksmith. The photo by the way, is me and the Spirit Healer. This is what its like to be dead in Azeroth. The spirit healer is one option of returning to life in Azeroth but she generally sucks. She pretty much breaks all your gear on the spot and what’s more, she charges you money too! We really only use her if we really get in a bind cuz she’s such a chump when it comes to bringing adventurers back to life. There is one loop hole in death though. Certain classes, like priests or paladins, have the awesome ability to resurrect anyone who may have gotten chewed up by some monsters. If they are near your corpse, all they have to do is cast their resurrect spell and bam, Warriors like me get to come back to life. No running around, looking for my corpse mumbo jumbo. I gotta say it’s pretty sweet being resurrected, its kind of like the rush you get from drinking way to much caffeine when you’re really tired except it all hits you at once, in one big shocking explosion. And yes, we have caffeinated beverages here in Azeroth. Mmmm, black coffee… delicious.-Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER

Finally, I though Dan would never log off. Alright where was I. Ah yes, I was bringing everyone up to speed on what its like to exist in Azeroth. Hopefully you understand now the difference between the Horde and Alliance, and that the Alliance are dirty rotten weasels, unfit for further discussion. I’ve posted another picture of my self, this is what I look like with all of my armor on… I know, try and hold your gasps of amazement till the end, and if your beginning to think that I’m self absorbed you can kiss my big smelly tail! Its taken Dan and I hours of adventuring to acquire all of these epic items and you better believe I’m going to show them off. Anyway, back to life in Azeroth. As you may or may not have gathered, Azeroth is a pretty hostile and intense environment with a great diversity of adventurers and monsters. Adventurers can be broken down into classes biased off of they way they fight. A characters class dictates basically they way they choose to fight and survive in Azeroth. Druids, Hunters, Mages, Paladins, Priests, Rogues, Shamans, Warlocks, and Warriors are all of the different kinds of classes an adventurer can be in Azeroth. As I have said, I am a Warrior. Being a Warrior totally rocks. We get to wear the heaviest armor in all of Azeroth, which is why I look so utterly big and bad ass hehe. Warriors are physically the strongest of all the classes and as such we can wield the biggest weapons. As a Warrior, all of my combat is primarily focused around melee damage. Basically I run all over Azeroth with an axe or sword, usually both as you can see in this picture, and bash the ever living crap out of monsters and Alliance. The more I do this, the more rewards I can get in Azeroth. But I need Dan’s help to do it. Speaking of that lifeless jerk where is he? He promised me he would be on now so we could finish a quest we’ve been working on. I need to go, later everyone. -Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER

Hello again to everyone our there in RL. Dan has logged off, so while he’s gone I’m going to try and blog some more. I suppose I’ll tell you a little more about my self and the different Races that inhabit the land of Azeroth in the World of Warcraft. You may notice I look a little different in this picture I have posted of myself. This is what I look like with most of my armor off. As you can see I’m more or less a great big bull. Nice muscles eh? The chicks dig em…Orc chicks, Troll chicks, Undead chicks, I make em all drool. Being a Tauren rocks cuz we’re the biggest, beefiest race in all of Azeroth But that’s neither here nor their and anyone unfamiliar with my World must be totally confused right now so let me try and start from the top so I don’t loose anybody. Within the land of Azeroth, there are two warring factions, the mighty Horde, and those scumbag Alliance. The Horde and Alliance have had a blood feud going for as long as anyone can remember and I could go on and on about how utterly slimy those Alliance bastards are but I will restrain my self in an effort to just try and bring everyone up to speed quickly. There are many races of characters, or toons, as players generally refer to as, within Azeroth. Some have allied them selves with the mighty Horde and other, lesser races have chosen to side with the dirty Alliance. We Tauren are a proud race, and have choose to side with the Horde ages ago. Also counted amongst the ranks of the Horde are Orc’s, Trolls, Blood Elves, and The Undead. Together we are strong enough to protect ourselves from the Alliance, who would basically ransack our towns and city’s and enslave us all if they could. The Alliance faction consists of Humans, Night Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and the Draenei. While most of these races are quite short in statue, they are also very crafty and never give us a moments peace. We Horde warriors must be constantly on our guard for Alliance while adventuring throughout Azeroth. Looks like that’s all I have time for… Dan is due back any moment. Take care, I will continue with my thoughts at a later time. -Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER

OMG… it actually worked. I’ve actually found a way to break out of the World… of Warcraft, and into that mysterious realm beyond know as “RL” which I hear all the players in the World of Warcraft constantly complaining about. Oh, excuse me, I believe and introduction is in order for anyone who my be reading this. My name is Wingnutt and I am a level 70 Tauren Warrior. I exist in a land named Azeroth on a server called Skullcrusher and I am part of a guild called FOEHAMMER. Pardon some of the acronyms and game slag I may use, I’ve picked up this language called English as best I can threw all of the player chat that goes on in the World of Warcraft, however most of them appear to be rather lazy and constantly use abbreviations and internet slang when communicating so please bear with me. “RL” means Real Life, and a guild is a close knit group of characters in World of Warcraft for any that may have been wondering. Well, where should I begin. Really I am just completely thrilled that I’ve found a way to communicate with “RL.” I will maintain this blog to inform all that wish to know about the goings on here in the World of Warcraft from my perspective. Not how it is perceived threw our players eyes. If only they knew what happened when they logged off hehe, when we’re not under their constant control and free to do our own thing. I will post more of my thoughts as I get time. Unfortunately I am owned by a player who plays this game entirely too much, I believe his name is Dan in RL and man do I get sick of him sometimes. Get a job Dan, you lazy noob if your reading this. Oh, and please don’t delete me if you discover this, I would hate that…. I’m just saying, I need more time to myself. -Wingnutt of FOEHAMMER
