Wow, I must say I haven't added a new post in a while :| I have been busy though :P My prom was last night so yeah. Busy before getting a dress and whatnot and busy after :P Anyways I do have some interresting things to post about. The first one has a little bit of a story to it
In any of the 3 Lich Kings heroics released not too long ago, the trash mobs all have a chance to drop this Battered Hilt And on one faithful Pit of Saron run...It dropped. Now I had shortly before won a 3 person mammoth, so I couldn't be too disappointed that I didn't win it...But the person who did just so happened to be my Amorianth <3
So this leads us a little further...Amo sold the hilt on the AH because he is already geared...very well geared :P So he had no use for the hilt. That same day a few hours later someone bought it. Now, there is a pet that I have tried farming for... Tiny Emerald Whelpling. This pet has a1 in 1000 drop rate chance...and lets just say I gave up once I killed 300 of them :P But with the money Amo got from selling the hilt he bought me the whelp! ^^ This is the only rare pet that I didn't put on my DK....because I wanted to show it off so I put it on my lock (I play her 10 times more than my death knight) So I made a little video of my whelp, I tried to upload it on YouTube but I forgot to cite the song I used in the credits so they had blocked the audio -.- But I'll upload it here.
In other rather sad news, the guild that I have been apart of Vicious Tactics has called it quits. This was the first guild that I have ever raided with I had many fun times with them and I met a lot of cool people. But the GM inadvertently passed on lead to one of the officers. He couldn't run the whole guild himself so one thing leads to another and now they're done. It makes me sad because some of the people there I got to know and liked...we were an amazing guild at the start however once we expanded things just kinda fell to the wayside. But it happens...So myself, Amo and some of IRL friends have our own guild now. Anguish. We are a casual guild seeing as we all have school and stuff :P And we are still recruiting members! If you're on Anub'Arak pst me :P
More news...I have a new parody out! Its to the tune of Everytime We Touch by Cascada
I am working on 2 new parody's atm, one has basically written itself :P So look out for those soon. Anyways that is all for now

80 Warlock ShapeShifting Mammoth! :D
Well this is an exciting post :D The first little bit of news is ...yes as the title of this says, I finally got my warlock to 80! :D And to put the cherry on top of this...as I was in the process of gearing up, I decided to try a VoA to get some gear. Well no cloth stuff dropped...but this did Reins of the Black War Mammoth! This has a 1-2% drop chance and also you have to win a roll again 10 or 25 other people. And I did it! :D
The other bit of news that I have is that I have finally gotten to releasing my ShapeShift song :P There is no machinima for it, although I MAY get around to making one...because I have always wanted to make one for this song. It would make the song a bit more understandable :P But nonetheless here it is:

Star...Failer?
Well this is a sad post for me. It all started today...being Friday there were no raids scheduled so a few guildies and I decided to try for The Undying. Well it didn't go over very well, someone died on the The Dance. Usually they say that it is the person who has never been there who dies, but I was the exception to the rule...the guy we had there had been there and done it before, and I having gotten ICC geared after Naxxaramas was "old school" had no idea what to do on the dance. I must say that it was easier than I had heard it to be...but until just now it never occurred to me to watch a video for it >.< /sigh
So, that was the first bad event. The second I would say is the more disappointing one... after we gave up on the Naxx run, we went and tried for Observed. Which what you have to do seems pretty simple, just kill the boss and you get the title Starcaller. This is a title I knew I had to have ever since I seen it. Any one of my real life friends can attest to the fact that I love stars in real life, and the fact that I think the title would go well with my paladin's name.
Starcaller Cyphice
(sorry about the colours :P )
But, all did not go over so well...we tried this achievement with a half of my guild Vicious Tactics and half of one of the top raiding guilds on my server, Arctica. Now there are 2 things you have to worry about with this boss.
1) He is only avaliable for 1 hour during the raid duration, after that he is not killable until next reset.
And
2) He is only avaliable for kill on Ulduar hardmode.
No pressure right?
Well I have done ICC, cleared up to Sindragosa, but still this proved to be a challenge. This fight is very healer intense. I would almost go as far as to say that Algalon hits as fast and as hard as a rogue to the tanks. The fight mechanics are there, it's not the most complicated thing but it does prove a challenge. After trying for about 45 mins. Amorianth and I became removed from the group so they could bring in "better" people to replace us. This made me sad...a chance to get the title I want more than any other one in the game and I couldn't stay to get it...or I could have been the problem with us not getting it. It does suck, but we were promised that we would get carried by 9 Arctica. members to get it so...I am really hoping they follow through with it.
But there is a note of good news in light of all this bad...my Warlock is 79...halfway to 80 :D So it's not all bad :P

Guy In Real Life
If you have ever been in Trade Chat...chances you have heard this. It's usually said after someone says that they are a girl. The title of this is from the popular some boys on WoW like to say when a female claims that she plays WoW. I have a few questions about this...
1) Why is it so impossible that a girl plays video games? Not all of us are out at the mall (unless its an EB games :P) getting out nails done etc...Just the same that not all boys are out on the football or whatever field you desire
2) If we (girls) do play WoW...why aren't we automatically thought to not be as good as a male player? Whether you are male or female...it takes a knowledge of your class to be able to excel at it. So a female is just as likely to be good or bad at a certain class as a male. If you were to be in a PUG and no one knew your gender, and the run goes well after if you admitted to being female...chances are no one would believe you unless you were to go into vent.
3) Why are girls stereotypically always healers? Granted I do have a holy paladin, and I do heal raids. However I know many females who DPS and do a good job of it. Hell, I've met a few good female tanks in my Wow days too. .
The bottom line is, that if you admit to being a girl who plays WoW (personally I don't go around flaunting the fact...but rather only mention it when I need to. however I am proud to be a girl gamer) you are bound to witness if not be apart of some kind of discrimination. It happens to everyone with race and gender etc... The most you can do is just keep playing. There are people who are perfectly fine with girls playing WoW, and they treat you good. In my opinion the positives of playing outweigh the negatives.

For the Children!
Yes! I knew it wouldn't be that long until I updated this :P I just got the achievement a few minuets ago. I must say, there aren't many achievements you need to complete for the Meta Achievement. However the few that you have to do are challenging. As I mentioned in the post below...School of Hard Knocks was the achievement that I was most worried about how to get, but when I actually went out and tried for this achievement I learned some things.
1) This is probably the only time you will ever be allowed into the opposite faction's flag room in Warsong Gulch :P
2) The Horde and the Alliance can actually work together...because in Lore and in general game play...the factions are made to hate each other. And rightfully so, it adds more to the game rather than one giant group of people on the same side trying to defeat one enemy etc...
Personally though, concerning this one achievement...I would say you need a combination of people who are trying to accomplish the same thing you are, people who are willing to cooperate and help others with the achievements and a little bit of luck :P
This holiday definitely handed me some challenges but they were fun nonetheless. If you're not level 80 then sadly you cannot complete the achievements. However, you can do the orphan quests. There are three sets of orphans you can get: Orc Orphan (Orgrimmar) or Human Orphan (Stromwind), Blood Elf Orphan or Dranei Orphan in Shattrath and a Wolvar Orphan or an Oracle Orphan in Dalaran. These quests reward various amounts of money for taking your Orphan "sight-seeing."
Before I go, I would just like to take a minuet to thank all of the people in the BGs who helped with this achievement. And a special thank you to the Alliance who had mercy and didn't kill my under geared Death Knight <3 :P
Well that is my advice on the achievements! Happy orphan helping! :P

...Is the achievement that I have yet to attain :P However I am working on it at the moment. I'm writing this post while I am on a flight path so I don't know exactly when I'll finish it :P I can't get very in depth with this holiday because during the time that I started to get into the WoW holiday achievements last year, I moved and did not have my internet for about 2 months. So I never got to complete this holiday...however there is an achievement that I am not looking forward to in the slightest ... School Of Hard Knocks is what I am dreading :P As I progress in this achievement (if I do) then I will be sure to add another post
