Heroic Underblogging, Anna Style!

Posted on August 30, 2008 - Filed Under Silly | 3 Comments

So Matticus has been working with his Underbloggers, but I thought maybe there could be a different type of Underblogging here at Too Many Annas…

Monday:  Overslept; pet ran away; I’m out of Bug-Be-Gon, and I have 43 glowing stinger bites.  Black Stalker is PMSing.  Gods, I hate Mondays.
Tuesday:  Grew some more lichen and mushrooms.  Still [...]

Friday Five RP - August 29

Posted on August 29, 2008 - Filed Under Roleplay | 9 Comments

So some of you have expressed interest in RP but aren’t sure how to get started.  It’s a common problem (and one I still struggle with frequently in game)  In that light, for a few Fridays I’ll be posting question sets, similar to the Friday Five of blogging fame.  Some of these will intentionally be [...]

Nostalgia and Warm Fuzzies

Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under Other stuff | 7 Comments

This little video is something I’ve had since back before Burning Crusade that’s come to mind as I’ve been playing my little alts.  It’s not the most advanced machinima out there, but it’s something I’ve always enjoyed for various reasons.
Warcraft has been a lot of different games over it’s course - and it’s fun to [...]

Care and Feeding of Healers

Posted on August 27, 2008 - Filed Under Healing, Silly | 4 Comments

Congratulations!  You are now the proud raid leader of a group of people, some of whom are very likely healers!  Some of these healers are probably priests, while others may be paladins, shamans, and druids.
It’s very important to care for your healers properly, as burnout and irritation may cause them to lose interest in raiding, [...]

Why I love Lore

Posted on August 26, 2008 - Filed Under Roleplay | 3 Comments

So sparked by yesterdays comments, I’ve rerolled my warrior (who was previously a Draenei) as a little brown haired, green eyed gnome named Annie Mae Spursparkle.
Krizzly, from Frost is the New Black, has been helping me with gnome lore and is the “character concept” that started little Annie Mae as well.  He’s got an excellent [...]

Back in the saddle again

Posted on August 25, 2008 - Filed Under Other stuff | 11 Comments

So, after what has essentially been two weeks of wow vacation (I showed up for the raid last Thursday, and that’s been the entirety of my logged-in time for two weeks), I’m looking forward to getting back to my “normal” schedule again.

My usual game time is Tuesday through Saturday evenings for a few hours (more [...]

In Which Annorah Steps On Her Soapbox

Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Shaman | 14 Comments

Gentle Readers :
It’s Draenei.  D-R-A-E-N-E-I.
Three consonants.  Four vowels.  I realize that this word is an unusual one, as your language does not usually have dipthongs (combinations of vowels) like that.  We have, however, been in major areas of Azeroth for at least 18 months now; I do not expect immediate understanding of our language, [...]
