Gaming WoW PvP

I originally planned to just combine all the games into one for my first post... But that was impossible as I'm sure you realized before I did! Anyhow! As promised the first blog on gaming is upon us!

WoW (World of Warcraft) a massively popular game set in the fantasy world of Azeroth. A player selects a race based either in 'Alliance' or 'Horde' and the races vary from Human to Tauren (a cow like beast). From there the player chooses a class to play that is available to that race.
             i.e. Tauren Priest. Blood Elf Hunter. Night Elf Druid. Gnome Mage. and the list goes on...

Each class uses either: mana, energy, focus, rage, or runic power. Every class has a unique combination of gear that it can use (and weapons as well).
             i.e. Druids can wear: Cloth and Leather. They can use Staves, Maces, Daggers, Fist Weapons, and Polearms.

As I said I will be breaking this into 3 sections so read all three if you like... Or whichever one you are most interested in! The order will be PvP, PvE, and RP.

Okay... Batter up!


Earlier I mention that I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most elite players in the game. Yes. They can be difficult to get along with at first but if you give them a chance... They are all just squishy. ;)

I will be linking videos that these players have posted as they deserve recognition for their work. Check them out and I'm sure you will enjoy everything that is linked here! I would like to say... That I have not worked will all the players I am linking (or even most of them). I feel that they just need to be here! :)

And I digress...

PvP! This is arguably the most difficult part of any game. The player must have the ability to 'guess' their opponent's next move and counter act without hesitation (a skill I have yet to learn...).

I am not going to be walking you through what you need to do for your specific class. I am going to be linking sites to visit, videos to watch, and really just showing you how fun PvP can be!

For the first site I am linking I recommend taking the advice with a grain of salt. Yes there are some very good tips but... Be weary!

This site is well laid out, organized, and (I must admit) helpful.

Next. Any PvP'er, in my honest opinion, should know Dara Mactire. If you don't... Good thing you are reading THIS blog.

Dara Mactire is a guild comprised of the best of the best PvP'ers in game (I imagine there may be argument here. But for the purpose of this blog... ^ That is fact). This guild is exclusive with whom gets membership and the requirements are... Specific. If you want in... You need to work your @$$ off for it.

And some of my personal favourite videos:

And now for my favourite part... FUN!

Q: What to you call a Druid who melee's in tree form?
A : A combat log!


A regiment of Stormwind's soldiers is in The Barrens. They see a Shaman, who quickly runs behind a mountain hoping to escape the regiment. The commander sends in two of his best men to kill the Shaman. After some time his men haven't returned. Disgruntled, the commander sends in twenty of his best men to kill that Shaman. More time passes, and none of them returns. After a while he orders *all* the rest of the regiment to kill that Shaman.

Some time after, the commander spots one of his men limping back to him.
He orders the soldier to tell him what happened.

"It was a trap, Sir! There were two of them!"


Q: Why don't warriors get their weapons enchanted with Int?
A: They don't want their weapons to be smarter than they are.


What do you call 1 troll on the moon? A problem. What do you call 10 trolls on the moon? A bigger problem. What do you call 100 trolls on the moon? A huge problem. What do you call ALL the trolls on the moon? Problem solved


Okay! I'm done! Promise! Next week I will have some screenshots from in-game as it stands... Those channels will keep you busy until then!


 Well. This is the author, editor, and Supreme Overlord of PvP! On my server. In my guild... Of my class... Using a spider named OrangeKrush... /sigh one day I will be the Supreme Overlord of PvP! >:)  And I'm signing off. See you next time!

Gaming ~ Introduction

Well... It has been awhile since we last talked... 6 months if I am correct? and I would just like to say... I didn't miss any of you =/   JOKING!

'Something Interesting' has decided to add a new section into the blog (a few actually) first, as the title suggests, Gaming!

As of recently I have had the extreme pleasure of working with some incredible gamers from a variety of games which has encouraged me to blog about it! ^^

The games I will be talking about I play, and own all of them and as I play more games... I will discuss more games! Its a system ;)

1. World of Warcraft (you knew it was going to be here didn't you? :P)
               - I will actually be breaking this down into 3 categories
                            - PvP
                            - PvE
                            - RP

2. Minecraft (Yeah... I know...)

3. Terraria

4. DC Universe

5. Gunbound

6. Skyrim

7. *Random Spotlight Game*
               - This will change every week based on whats new and exciting.

You may have noticed... I have 7 games... One. For. Each. Day. o.O Wow.

Anyhow. Pretty sure that was a good introduction... So now I'm just going to jump in! Since I started almost at the end of the week *genius* I'm just going to throw all the games together into one MASSIVELY small blog! Enjoy! :)

In Other News...

Where does all the News that doesn't make it to the papers go? Does it just... disappear? No of course not! It comes here...


For our first story of the week law officials have uncovered a plot to smuggle drugs into Canada. The smugglers had come up with a creative scheme involving: cocain, marijuana, pineapples, and watermelon. We here at 'Something Interesting' discovered this plot quite awhile ago when concerned callers reported "something fruity" with the fruit, and of course being concerned for out readers we had the fruit tested.

We must admit it was the best fruit salad we have ever had.              
  


For our next story of the day the U.S. is rumoured to cut 100,000 of its troops for a 'leaner, smaller military'. Curious about what our fellow Canadians we interviewed several of them, and here's what they said:
            "What do they need so many troops for, eh?"
and
           "That's like cutting our entire army!"
and of course
           "When's the next hockey game on?"

The final story for this week Google may know more (or less) about you than you think! Log onto your Google account, go to ad preferences and see what it says about you. However some people are quite ticked off about this. Most of us at 'Something Interesting' fall under the ticked category as Google apparently believes I am a 35 year old female interested in making sandwiches, and doing what I'm told. Well guess what Google? I'm actually 34! So HA!

This has been 'In Other News...'

I am the author, the editor, and the female stuck making sandwiches for the male staff.

Side Note - We may have added and changed details and this News should (by no means) be taken seriously. We take absolutely no responsibility for anyone believing this News to be true and you may in fact be mocked.
