I no longer enjoy WoW’s endgame content.

I like raiding, and the raids in Pandaria so far have been interesting. But I am no longer all that interested in the rest of the endgame.

This is OK, because Pandaria is, …

Casting Call
comment 11 Written by on December 2, 2009 – 9:47 am

A new movie has been announced, and your character has been asked to be part of the story. As such, you have to come up with someone to play your character in a film!

Who would it be?

A few things -

  1. This movie has an unlimited budget. Feel free to pick someone famous or not-famous, or from TV, Hollywood, Overseas, Stage Acting, whatever. The idea is to find someone who LOOKS LIKE your character. (Which probably means this will be a pretty star-studded list, but that’s ok!)
  2. Bonus points if they also sound like your character, but feel free to find a different actor/ess to voice your character if necessary.
  3. IMDB is your friend, as is Google Image Search – but please DO NOT hotlink images. It’s not nice.
  4. Comments will take a little extra time to show up, since they’ll contain links to external sites and I’ll have to approve them.  Normally this means you are all spared 42 page lists of links to nakey people, but today it’ll mean a bit of moderation duty on my part. Do not fret!

And since I”m sure you’re all curious… Aely could only be played by Miranda Otto.

Perfect skin, right face, little smile, right hair texture – make it long enough to sit on and bright copper red. Add a pair of hazely-green contacts?

Perfect. (Though Aely would be wearing a long-sleeved shirt!)

Miranda Otto2

Annie Mae would be Jennifer Nettles (only… really short and dark brunette.)

I’ll have to get back to you for Angoleth and Anzefi… Anzefi’s particularly hard, since she’s taken a lot of inspiration from Naomie Harris’ portrayal of Tia Dalma (the accent… oh the accent…), but it’s hard to just pick an actress and give her a huge electric teal mohawk and tusks!

And yes, this idea is shamelessly stolen from the Wildfire Riders RP board. But that’s never stopped me before!

This is stolen (shamelessly) from Truly Carmichael, from her album Swansong – which doesn’t appear to be available anymore on the internet. The original is called “For Sutan, King of Ansteorra”. I’ve added a bit, and made it work for a lady-fighter in the WoW universe.

Aely’s been singing this all week, being that she’s in good spirits again. I’m not brave enough to sing it for the internet, or I’d provide an mp3.

My socks fell in the horse trough – they’ve been in there all night
We muster in 3 minutes and my helmet’s too damn tight.
My armor fell into the lake, the rivets all went pop (*pop*)
I’ve stuck on plates with sticky glue, when will this morning stop

So tell the King I’ll join him soon, if armor I can borrow
And if I can’t climb up the hill? I guess we’ll win tomorrow.

There’s been a little mix-up with my armor on the truck.
Some bastard took my war-shield, with a buckler I am stuck.
I’m standing in the shield wall and I’m feeling some alarm…
There’s umpteen dozen scourge ahead, and a pie plate on my arm!

So tell the King I’ll join him soon, if armor I can borrow
And if I can’t climb up the hill? I guess we’ll win tomorrow.

I do not want to fathom how much longer this will take -
All of these armor issues – now I think my sword is fake.
It’s shiny and it’s sharpened, and the haft is weighted well,
But it’s bending under it’s own weight, now isn’t this just swell.

So tell the King I’ll join him soon, if armor I can borrow
And if I can’t climb up the hill? I guess we’ll win tomorrow.

I’ll be back next week!

Aely asks that someone save her a piece of pumpkin pie!

Tiniest of (Gnomish) updates

February 25, 2013 – 9:13 am

I’ve decided, after no small amount of back-and-forth, to put my energy behind Annie Mae to be my second max character this expansion (with Angoleth likely to be third). I can’t really get into Shaman gameplay, so Annorah is going …

Friday Five: House and Home

Your character has unlimited funds and unlimited space to make their dream abode.

  1. Is it in the city or country? What zone, if you could pick one?
  2. Big or small? What does it look like?
  3. Is it cluttered and crazy

An Epidemic of RPer Disease

November 29, 2012 – 8:28 am

I’m here today to talk to you all about a very serious problem I see in the RP community – RPer disease. I don’t know any roleplayer who doesn’t suffer bouts of this infection, and while not exactly contagious it …
