Only you can choose.

Life is what you make of it. There is no handbook. There is no team cheering for you to make it. We have family that are sometimes supportive. And some of us get lucky and find friends that are supportive too. But at the end of day, it’s just you. Its you against the world. Only you can make your mistakes. Only you can fix and reconcile with them. You have the power to make good of any gloomy  situation. 

You can either live a miserable life. Or you can live a happy one. It’s your choice. No one else can make it for you. And I hope you choose to be happy. Because not only is life to short. It’s also to precious. And you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have a heart of a child. Don’t give other people the power to steal that from you. Embrace the sunshine. Embrace all the puppies and kitties. Embrace whatever it is that makes you happy, because that’s what makes life worth it. 

3 Ways Your Restoration Druids Makes Your Life Easier

Back in about oh.. 2008something, I started a long and what seems to be an endless relationship with the game, World of Warcraft. Since I’ve been introduced to the game I’ve played nearly every class. One of the first classes/specs I’ve played was a Restoration druid, of the Night Elf breed of course! And since I have started playing her, there a few things about the healing druids that makes it just a little easier than all the other healing classes.

1. No need to cast expensive spells.

Druids are HoT (Healing over Time) based healers. And though you have to make sure your HoTs are always up, the mana cost is rather low. To this day, I don’t think I’ve ever ran of mana with this druid. It’s crazy how much money I’ve saved from just not having to buy a lot of drinks/mana pots.

2. HoTs lets you do other things with your evening.

HoT healing gives you time to tend to other things in life, like making food, eating food. Maybe taking a nap during the raid. No seriously, put life bloom and rejuvenation up and you have so much more free time. It’s crazy.

3. Good, easy healing.

Some people don’t think so, and some people think druid healing isn’t good.. but honestly, I’ve never had any luck with any other healing class and overall, I’ve always out healed my healing counterparts. And Druid healing is stupid easy! HoTs people, HoTs. Throw up HoTs, throw up some more, and you’re done.

What Makes A Warrior The Perfect Class?

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft casually for about.. mmm… 7 going onto 8 years, and in that time I’ve played each class – minus a rogue and warlock (I tried and am trying to level them both, and just nope.)  Anyway, I’ve played the rest. Hunter, Shaman, Druid, Mage, Priest, Paladin, Death Knight, and the most beloved, a Warrior.  Now, all the other classes are grand.  Grand indeed.  I always enjoy going on healing spurts with my Druid.  PvP just isn’t the same without my hunter.  And at the beginning of Mist of Pandaria, my frost mage was smoking.  But recently, the only class I can think about, is that warrior class.  

But what about this class makes it so much desirable, so much more appealing?  Is it maybe the way my Night Elf warrior lets the plate hug her flawless figure?  Or maybe, the way she wields that meat cleaver as if she came right out of a serial killer movie?  Or perhaps it’s how she charges in with all the power, slaying her target without second thought.  She slams and strikes heroically into Garrosh.  Bashing his brains in, topping the charts.  Yes, perhaps its how she is always on top, always winning.

Four Things Only Your Warrior Would Understand.

When racing and chasing through the world of Azeroth, there are a few people who get the struggle you go through on the regular.  Your trusting warrior is one of them.

1. Ain’t nobody got time to waste more than 5 seconds killing a mob. Put down your holy paladin and you’ll put down all your frustrations.  Pick up a warrior, any spec really. And all your time wasted turns into time gained!

2. Ain’t nobody got time to slowly walk up to target creature. Forget your stealthing rogue, or your feral druid.  Charge into the mob.  No more wasted time sneaking up to your prey, show them the true face of terror.

3. Don’t wait for heals to do their job. With your warrior, any hit you take feels like just a scratch, you are pretty much like a tank across the board.  No need for healer.  

4. Ain’t nobody got time for a tank (Unless if it’s a Prot warrior). Tired of crappy Blood DKs, Guardian Druids, and the worst of them of all a prot Paladin not being able to do there job in the dungeon group?  No worries dude, you are probably an Arms or Fury warrior, you can solo that dungeon.  Kick the tank to the side, and roll on your own

First Impressions of Heroes of the Storm

I got invited into Alpha testing for Heroes of the Storm (HoTS) this past weekend and for the past couple of days it’s all that I’ve been doing.  

I was expecting HoTS to play like if not exactly like League of Legends going into it.  But damn, as I started playing HoTS I felt like I’ve already been playing this game for the past 2 years.  The whole game feels like LoL with just Blizzard characters in place of Riots Champions.  The goals are all the same, kill the minions, kill the enemy heroes, kill the towers, win the game.  Don’t get me wrong I enjoy HoTS and will play it regularly but I’ve already been playing this game.  Everyone who has played LoL prior to HoTS has already played this game.  I was expecting something at least a little different from Blizzard.  The company is very capable of doing some different and something stellar. But this didn’t.  In regards of originality Blizzard really dropped the ball with HoTS. 

 

I don’t have much else to say about this game.  Stay tuned for more HoTS/WoD alpha notes blogs

Heroes of the Storm: The New Heroes Announced at PAX East on Day 1

This weekend was the annual gaming convention PAX East in Boston and without any surprise Blizzard was who my ears were opened too.  More so for their newest game Heroes of the Storm which is in Alpha stages now.  There were four new heroes announced, Brightwing, Zagara, Murky, and LiLi.  With sneak peaks to the heroes Chen, Kael’thas, Sylvanas.  All of this information can be founded on: http://www.heroesofthestorm.com/en-us/news/13733530/pax-east-day-1-recap

First on our list is Brightwing, a cute feldragon with passive heals that heal up nearby teammates.  Brightwing also polymorphs enemies giving relief to the team.  She also can teleport across the map to her teammates providing healing and more in time of battle.  Brightwing’s trailer can be found at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTIVP8ZPXSg

It seems the developers don’t know what Murky is suppose to do in the game and to be honest, I’m still a little confused at it too. He’s apparently super weak but as the game goes on he becomes increasingly more annoying and persistent. So we’ll stand by as more on Murky is announced.  

The next hero is Zagara.  She’s able to make way around the map with her ability ‘Nudus Worms’, this allowing her to come up to enemies and do damage before they even notice.  She also has the ability ‘Creep Tumors’ which increases her speed and summon time.

Last but certainly not least is the newest support hero LiLi.  She’ll come equipped with numerous abilities that will allow her to make a dent on enemy forces as she protects herself and the rest of her team.

The most exciting of all of this was the release of Kerrigan’s hero trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH9rEjS2O0w) and out of all the heroes she’s the one I’m personally looking to the most.  Which of the heroes are you guys looking forward to the most?  And if you are in the alpha testing who are you enjoying the most now?  Comment and let me know 🙂

Product review: Anticlothes

I stumbled over this website store a good bit ago.  It took me a long time to give in to buy anything. 4.95?  Seemed too good to be true for a sturdy shirt.  But I finally gave in.  I gave in and bought 3 shirts to give them the test.  At the price of only $4.95 I felt like I wouldn’t be losing much if the company was a dud even after getting 3 of them.  

The only thing I got impatient on was the shipping. But I get impatient even if I have to wait like more than 24 hours for something to be shipped.  It took about 2 1/2 weeks for them to be shipped out, which is fair because the one guy runs it himself and if he’s getting high volume of business he has A LOT of shirts to press out.  So shipping isn’t bad when you take in account of all the work the guy has to do to make your shirts fresh and crisp.

The shirts themselves I love! The shirt is so soft and comfy. I’m a t-shirt kinda gal. Anything graphic tee I’m excited to get and to find a cheap, stylish, comfy t-shirt dealer was such a great thing.  The decals are clean and professional, and they literally still smell like they were just done, so you know this dude taking his time, and doing it right. 

I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

The Life of Ztazikijr – Part 1

It was a rainy Sunday in Teldrassil.  The day was late as a young Night Elf couple welcomed a new baby girl into the world.  Ztazikijr, named after her brave mother Ztaziki.

As a young Night Elf, Ztazikijr, Z for short.  She chased young nightsabers around, hopping on the backs of the boars and road them around pretending she was leading a squadron into battle.  She ran after the imps as they played pranks on one another.  Most of the other children in Teldrassil were peaceful.  They became apart of it, they blended in and kept peace with the elements.  Most complained about having to skin animals for their hides.  But not Z. She was right there in the front with the Elder.  Skinning away, roasting the meat from the animals they caught that day, chowing away as the other children looked with disgust as they ate their lettuce. She would come home covered head to toe with the blood and guts and dirt.  Almost all the other young females looked at her as if she weren’t Night Elf at all.  They looked at her like she was a different race of humanoid that accidently found herself living among them.

There comes a time in schooling when young Night Elves must make a decision on what they want to be in life.  A hunter, someone who provides for the village?  Or maybe a druid, a Night Elf that stays intuned with the love he shares for nature, wielding it, becoming it.  Or maybe a priest.  Or a mage, or a rogue.  Z had her mind made up long ago.  She knew she belonged over in Stormwind among the warriors.  Training with the best to be the best. The Night Elves didn’t have a top notch warrior school.  To get the proper training this young elf must travel across great seas, and through trying jungles to become the skilled warrior she always dreamt of being.

TO BE CONTINUED!

(this is my shot at bring my warrior baby into life.  To create a background that she follows ingame, but now in writing.  Since I’ve been experiencing some crazyyyy writing blocks.. fanfiction seemed to be the way to go :0 )

Writing Block.

I’ve been staring at this blank 200 page notepad for a good 2 weeks.  Trying to conjure up SOMETHING!  For years now I’ve had these novels worthy to be put into pen and paper for others to enjoy.  (not to toot my own horn) But they were/are original.  They aren’t another copy or rendition of the Hunger Games (which is really boring. Everyone thinks that they can just change a name or two and have a good piece of work.  No. It’s just called you are copying the first person and you should get the writing block not me 😡 ). I’m telling you how I really feel! :p

But really, these ideas, these novels, these potential blockbusters have been floating and nailing at my brain.  And every time I go to put them down, to make something of it, it goes to smut.  It’s like my brain forgets to work.  And nothing helps.  Not music of any genre, not walking outside, not eating my weight in fatty foods or eating my weight in healthy nommy food.  I don’t know what to do differently!  It makes me go bonkers!

 

Anyway, that’s enough of that.
