Glorious Return — Screen Shots — World of Warcraft last changed 22 February 2007 |
recently, i lost my internet connection for five months. this would have been a difficult time for me regardless of the circumstances, but the fact that i really enjoyed spending 16-18 hours a day seven days a week playing WoW made it a bit worse. some would argue that the separation was healthy, but in response i say... pfffftttt!
to celebrate my glorious return, circa 3 February 2007, and to commemorate my continuing enjoyment of WoW, i'd like to share a few favorite memories.
winter wonderland, all year long.
peaceful meadows as far as the eye can see.
Aragul got bored and went exploring in UBRS without the rest of the group.
beating stuff up.
stomping on bosses... and really enjoying it.
getting beat up.
getting baked to a crisp.
what happens in ZG stays in ZG... oops...
knocking stuff over.
the Brothers Tauren come to SW.
okay, that probably wasn't really them. but it makes a good caption.
set a gnome loose in the human town, and look what she does. tries to burn the place down.
taking out our aggressions in the Deadmines.
my pet Aramay.
a variety of amazing people have joined and left us. some of them we don't miss.
harassing Mikoto. man, i missed that.
the Alliance has the best folks, hands down.
looking forward to opportunities to hang out with the spirits... they're hot!
finding new and interesting screen shots to take... oo look, there's spiderdorf!
sometimes i didn't even know where i was or how i got there.
following fearless leaders, watching certain success turn into unexplainable doom.
for those who don't want to look up Earthen Guardians, we were in Uldaman. Nanda was the low level in the group, at 38 or so, cheecken was 60. i told him i was gonna post a screen shot... i'm just making good on my promise.
kickin butt, takin names.
all-night parties in IF.
the occasional opportunity to engage in non-WoW activities. *snicker* riiight...
getting drunk at guild meetings.
by the way, all you pvpers have been doing it wrong... dueling is for minions!
this is what a dwarven mage would look like... if they let dwarves be mages...
...and the dwarven mage would get his butt kicked by a gnome paladin.
every once in a while, i escape the matrix.
i'm a compulsive risk-taker. i see a cliff... or a canyon... or maybe a ditch... and i just jump.
that's not a knife... This is a Knife!
occasionally, the opportunity to do something useful stands up and bops me over the head. i usually let it go, but this time i felt productive. of course, this is of limited value after the expansion but whatever.
click on the map for a larger version.
ever felt like a total nerd? this is the sort of person we welcome in Legacy, because... well, Station was our guild leader at the time.
3–manning MC.
leaping into the fray.
taking a moment to reflect on my place in the world.
another thing i missed about WoW is that sometimes the screen shots look better than pictures i take of things outside the game. but i have a funny feeling that if i lived in Brazil i could find better rl scenery. put up more pics, Andre!
looking at the boss and saying "neener neener." that's a great feeling.
did i mention the amazing variety of people who play WoW?
indigestion due to moonkin. learn from Ony's mistake... don't eat the moonkin.
ahh! the pants! i'm blind!
every once in a while something happens which is totally unexplainable.
Jocelynn... high again.
Jocelynn... high in a different way, after getting Mandokir's Sting.
yes, Judgement of Light is awesome. make friends with your local paladins.
just snooping around Karazhan before it opened... i think i found a portal elsewhere under this town, but it wasn't reachable.
i still say night elves look lame when they try to be dorfs.
woohoo, hot tub!
watch out for a guy in a red dress.
silly old humans shouldn't leave their spellbooks laying around...
just doin my job...
...and getting burned for it.
lucky luscian.
molten giants do not know the meaning of "play nice."
midnight in Elwynn Forest.
why are harpies so hot?
Mikoto, without makeup.
that harpy, without makeup.
being mistaken for a vendor.
i think Nanda discovered where the ninjas hide their loot.
it looks really nice after that nasty snake thing is removed.
i've fallen, and i can't get up.
nutty nutty nut nut.
Jocelynn... i am your father.
i have x-ray vision... unfortunately it only works on this instance portal.
ow.
ew.
wtf, mate?
Mikoto's secret identity.
darn molten giant... always 89-upping me.
"doctor, i'm telling you, the tiger just walked out of the wall onto a crate... on a boat."
some kind of craziness is going on here. i don't know what it is, i just think it looks cool. the judgement of light felt pretty good too.
this didn't feel so good.
classic Drrailaa.
Graydok. i hear he's still looking for himself.
it... it bit me!
i told you, i'm a warrior in leather... lookit me melee with Mandokir. yea... this particular fight didn't go so well.
this is what i'm doing when i'm not playing WoW.
rogue be nimble, rogue be quick...
the moment which shall live in infamy.
the second and third place winners.
this place has always creeped me out.
perhaps the dumbest-looking set ever.
one silly elf.
psh, that's nothin...
...oh yea!
sleepin on the job again. goblins are so undependable. stinky too.
can anybody see me? hello? anybody?
still probably the scariest mob i've seen. i just watched and let it eat the hordelings.
for some reason, this makes me think of bowling. 7–10 split.
you want stealthy? i'll show you stealthy...
the beauty of the moon, interrupted by this brutish human city.
that'll teach me.
that's just... wrong.
the only nice part of the plaguelands.
The Ring of Dung. hey, it traumatized me, it's only right that i share it with everyone.
who made this game anyway?
turtle blind! he'll never see me here...
my screen, the way it was set up once upon a time. and surprisingly i could actually do whatever i needed to do. no idea anymore how i accomplished this.
another unexplainable phenomenon.
apparently, i'm not supposed to know who this is.
scared of heights?
kinda neat lookin.
woohoo warlord kill. that guy had some freakish damage reduction.
wait... i was in battlegrounds? when did this happen?
where the sidewalk ends. (for those who might not recognize it, this is the title of a popular book... well, it was popular when i was younger). nevermind, i thought it was clever but i was mistaken. *delete*
i saw the table and thought Wild Wild West. welcome to the crazyhouse that is my head.
i'm considering starting a petition to get Blizzard to make a quest or something that lets us kill William. at least get the doll away from him... and put scorpions in his underwear drawer or something.
a moment of pure X.
Wanted: one ZG tiger mount. for each of my characters.
darn.
