Random stuff.

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

First off we have Homestar runner. Strong bad ftw!  This is required viewing for all guild members.   And the second randomness is my discovery of the truth behind turkeys and chickens.  Turkeys are male chickens and chickens are female turkeys =p  Same species different name/gender.  It has to be so as we don’t eat roosters, in fact the rooster must be a lie.  The rooster is a clever ploy devised to keep us unawares of the truth behind turkeys and chickens.   Umm…… yeah…….. anyway….

Truthiness v2.0

Friday, November 28th, 2008

In the spirit of the new expansion, I was thinking about changing the tabard colors from red to blue. I made the change in game, but would like everyone to vote before we make it permanent. I’m also going to be playing around with some new site header designs with the new blue color, but I may not get around to seriously looking at it until Christmas break. Also, ignore this ‘n’ down here. I keep deleting it but it must be something in the code for the poll plugin ><

Do you like the new tabard colors?

Terribad UI

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

I’m trying to improve my tanking UI on Salovia. At first it was identicle to my DPS UI for Lolotov, but I quickly saw shortcomings and have been tweaking it since. I’ve been trying to find inspiration, tips, tricks, helpful visual hints, etc. and I came across this person’s tanking UI:

srs wtf

Click through, you really have to see it fullscreen. Seriously, wtf game is this person playing?

Screenshots

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Hi all :D I’ve been photo documenting my way across Northrend and I got some screenshots uploaded. Instead of using our handy screenshots page (which turns out to be not all that handy for bulk uploading), I started another account with Google specifically for these web albums. I use their Picasa program to find, organize, upload and sync photos to my web albums. It’s sort of like iTunes for images. As it is, it’s somewhat time consuming to get any images up, partially because I’m a perfection freak so I have to make sure everything is just right. I may see if I can find a Picasa plugin for wordpress.

Everything has been organized into albums by what zone, city or instance they were taken in. If you’re worried about spoilers, just don’t click on the album :-)

LRN TO SIT NEWB

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Ding! is for sure my favorite WoW based comic, and last week they posted Kissybear’s Guide to Wrath of the Lich King (Bitches!). Click here for the first one, and then next to go through the other 5.

Add-ons 0_o

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I’ve had a few questions about what add-ons I use after I posted that arena video so Tib suggested I just list them here.

For button bars I used to use Bongos2 but the author dropped it so I use bartender4 now.  All the wonky pictures you see showing up on my screen are from an add on called power auras, I had to track this down because as a shaman I tended to forget that my elemental shield went down so I needed a big in my face reminder that it was active.   An old add-on that has turned out to be a really great one is an old one called “Jim’s cooldown pulse” it pulses the picture of the spell that just finished its CD up on the screen.  I used to use natur enemy cast bars until blizz broke it, that was a nice one for letting you know when your enemy had used CDs.

I also use Mappy, Elkanos buff bars, Miks scrolling battle text, Quartz cast bars, and healbot, for some toons I still use Xperl unit frames but for some I don’t, it can still be buggy and at this time pitbull is a resource hog.  I’ve tried grid but its not visual enough for me.  I also use visual heal so that I can transmit my healbot outgoing heal data to users of other mods like pitbull. I used to use Chaman2 for totem stuff but that didn’t end up getting an update for wrath so I moved to totem timers and am fairly happy with it so far.   I also use a few macros to condense down keys a bit, I have lightning and chain lightning on the same button for example, one one right click one on left, a few self target cast macros for keybinding cleansings, shields and general save my ass duty with natures swiftness + big heal.  Anyhew thats about it for my list =p laters n stuff.

Truthiness arena video thingy

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Alrighty then I finally got around to doing this.  I used what footage I had but in all honesty I missed frapsing many of the really good fights.  In any case I hope everyone like the musics n stuff =)

Ride the Lightning….err Harpoon

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Just thought I’d throw in a quick post and screenshot from my first day of WotlK.  One of my favorite quest lines so far has been the harpooning action in Howling Fjord and I managed to grab a quick screen shot of the final quest of that quest line.  What a fun ride this is so far!!

Harpoon Ride - woohoo
