“I’m Stalking You”
This morning I was picking up the fishing and cooking dailies in Dalaran when I saw someone looking for a healer for HVH. Although I generally only run the daily heroic unless a guildie or friend needs help with something else, HVH I’ll sometimes make an exception for since it’s easy, quick, nets me a [...]
The October 21st Post Wherein Sylly Looks Like an Idiot
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you know, how much experience you have, how skilled or talented or team oriented or fan-freakin-tastic. There are times when you just do something so goofy that no one can save you from yourself. /sigh. So let me tell you about my day.
Crossing Boundaries
I have this little hunter alt. Although it’s hard to admit this here, it’s true, I’m not a druid through and through. Sometimes I get my huntard on. I’ve actually twinked her out with heirlooms, which is something I’ve never done for any of my alts. I’m having a grreat time playing her because it’s new [...]
Encountering Innocence
Last night after 3 attempts I was finally able to log into Warcraft for a while. I wasn’t feeling particularly patient with the snail’s pace that it took for me to get online, nor was I amused that in Zul Drak in the middle of the night I had lag issues like it was launch [...]
Humbled
Not only did I join a new guild yesterday, I had my first raid with them in Heroic Ulduar. Wow! I had such a great time! But over the course of the 3 and a half hours that we raided, I was incredibly humbled in two very different ways.
New Tree House
Yesterday I made some changes. Big changes. I decided that, although I still very much liked all of my guildmates, my guild wasn’t working very well for me any more. I won’t hash it all out here, because as I’ve said, I still have a huge place in my heart for my old guild and [...]
Whodathunkit?
It’s happened. I’ve become Elder Noble Ambassador Crusader Syll Jenkins the Explorer, Champion of the Naaru, the Frozen Wastes, Darnassus, Gnomeregan, Ironforge, Stormwind, and the Exodar. Even though I swore this day would never come, it has arrived.
Down Memory Lane…
Keredria at Tree of Life picked up on a meme started by Averna at Nerf This Druid inspired by the question posed by Miss Elf, “What do you remember about being a newbie?” In a sort of six degrees of Kevin Bacon way, Keredria then reached out her leafy fingers and tapped me to join [...]
A Perfectly Good Time
World of Warcraft is always fun for me to one degree or another. Sometimes it’s sort of a minimal fun, I’ll admit. For example, sometimes it’s hardly more than a distraction and the things I want to accomplish feel a bit like chores. But even then, there’s always the sense that what I’m doing is [...]
Via con dios, amigo!
From time to time I see conversations crop up about the social game and the legitimacy of the relationships we all form. I suppose that one could take the post-modern view that, as with all else, gameplay in WOW is a subjective experience, and relationships are all predicated on the perspectives of the participants. I [...]
