Am I Being too Picky?

So as some of you know. I have been searching for a guild these past couple of weeks. I found one, left, another, left, another, left and so on.

Am I being to picky? Do I expect to much?

In some of the guilds i tried, people were plain disrespective so I did not want to deal with that at all and swiftly left. There were other guilds I joined that were nice but thier raid schedules just didnt work, or no one ever showed up. I guess what I’m looking for are nice people and a serious guild. Many have told me that is what they are. A serious guild but it never feels that way. Sometimes I just don’t feel as if I belong. Many people have been telling me to give it time, stay in the guild for a few weeks, but if I do that I’ll become attached to the people and feel even more guilty for leaving. I know what I’m doing is okay, but  cant help but wonder if I’m searching for something I can’t get.

Guess I’ll find my home one day. Gotta keep looking is all. :)

P.S. If you need a Priest give me a shout! Here or on twitter. I can be found there at @FallenEnvyy. Hope to hear from you guys! If you do send me a message please don’t just say, “we need you” I’ll probaly just say no right away. I need details, raid times, people details, the goal of the guild, etc,etc. The more info the better! You can reach me wayyy faster on twitter. I have been turned into a tweetoholic recently.  I remember the day when I raised my middle finger to twitter. Haha.

FOR THE HORDE!

Hey all! Good news!

The <Phoenix> Guild on Maelstrom did the “For The Horde” achievement tonight. One shotted it too! We had planned it for about a week.  Did it 8pm server time and finished at 10:47pm.  It was awesome, stressful, and fun. Just like any raid. We had a guildy and a warlock stealth into Stormwind and into a house. Yes we are that awesome. We summoned like 40 people into a room. It was crowded and people were all sweaty.  Finally we poured out like ants and brought death upon anyone who stood in our way. The regular shouts of  “THIS IS SPARTA & YOU ARE NOT PREPARED” followed. It was really fun all in all. Great finish to the weekend.

Way to go guys! Big cuddly bears for the win!

Err.. I’m afraid of clicking that..

Hey everyone!
I was in a pug today doing the daily for my 2 Triumph’s,  (I’m not 80 yet, so hush you.) and I came across some people I rather enjoyed playing with. They were both on my server which was really awesome so we quested a little bit together. Somehow we got into an add on discussion and basically they don’t use any at all. I was like, wtf,rumad? lol.

These guys don’t really like playing around with those ‘dangerous’ files as they so call them. They think it’s scary! I don’t get it. Just last night i was playing around with bios start up settings trying to pirate a version of Windows 7. (Shh, Don’t worry I failed.) It’s all so easy to me. It is never scary. No one taught me how or anything, i just kinda learned.. and did it. I kept trying to teach them or figure out some way to convince them to learn how to use addons. They can be fun and be a great addition to your game. Not that not using them is wrong or anything. I think you should at least try them out though. Now that I think about it, my mom said something similar to me the other day while I was on the computer.

“Get off that damn computer and go outside and relax!”

I guess to some the computer can be a little scary. It’s not to me at all. You know what I do when I get home from work? I turn my computer on. Before I even change or get a snack. Being on the internet and talking to all my friends or playing WoW is relaxing for me.  If I was outside or doing something else I’d be itching to be on my computer. Am I addicted to it? Hmm, It’s hard to say. I don’t think I am. Past generations grew up with footballs and soccerballs and they use to go play outside. I grew up with technology. Get what I’m saying kinda? Now I’m not saying that if you are a nerd, (Nerds are cool by the way.)  you should eat all day and play on your computer and never go outside. That is bad kiddies. I’m a lifeguard/Health freeeeeaak so believe me. Taking care of your body is important. It’s your body and it’s the one thing you’ll have till the day you die.

If your scared of your computer, don’t be! It won’t hurt you! (errr unless it explodes.. but what are the odds of that! :3) There are tons of resources online that teach you computer basics. It’s not rocket science and it’s for sure way easier than all that math stuff you attempt to study in school. If you do break your computer some how, it is not the end of the world. You probably have tons of friends that are computer smart and can fix your little..learning experience in no time at all. Honestly that’s what it is. If you make a mistake you learn, and what better way to learn is there? I know I’ve messed up my computer tons and tons of times. My World of Warcraft UI is no exception haha. If worse comes to worse you can take it to a store and spend a little money to get it fixed. That’s no reason to be scared or anything though.

I also think that if you understand your computer a little more you’ll be able to do a lot more with it! It’s like getting a brand new computer! Plus you’ll be relaxed like me! Don’t be afraid to learn. Never say you can’t.

To Game or not to Game

Hey everyone!

(Incoming rant.)

I was at work today and sometimes I’m assigned to help out in shipping because I work for a swimming type organization and it gets really busy around the summer time. (Yes, I’m uber fit and stronger than most guys. It comes with being a lifeguard I guess. :P ) So because we are so good at our jobs, we finished filling all the orders and had some time to spare before we got more. We basically started talking about something quite interesting. Since I don’t wanna use any real names, I’ll just call my friend.. Santa Claus.

So Santa Claus had a child recently. He was talking about how scared he was about his kid playing all these new shooting games. He spoke about that one kid who killed his mom because she told him to stop playing xbox and then the other kid who ran away and was found dead when his parents took away his play-station or whatever. Pretty crazy stories. He was telling me that he wasn’t going to buy these shooting games or all these games with blood and violence and I kinda got irritated.

I HATE how the media makes games look bad and scary. It’s not like that at all. As a gamer I know that it’s not always the games fault when these disaster’s happen. There are other reasons involved too. I basically spent the next 15 minutes giving my side of the story. I don’t think the games can be fully blamed at all. It is true that games now a days have graphic scenes, killing, harsh language, and blood. These games are rated M or whatever and you shouldn’t buy them in my opinion if you can’t handle it. There are tons of studies on this subject. Some say these games help people relieve their stress, some say games make people want to live the moment. (I think that’s insane. If i see someone punching someone, I’m not going to join in, haha.)

Now I don’t think games are innocent. A kid won’t shoot his dad if he has never played Call of Duty. In that case, why has a small child seen/touched that game? I think it’s cause people come home from work and just sit in front of the T.V. or let their kids play the games because the don’t want to deal with the family stress.  So I do believe sometimes the family is also partially to blame.

I also think that the person is also to blame. For example, if you are hot tempered, you usually know you are. If that’s the case, stay away from games that are annoying! If you know your addicted try and do something about it! Nothing good can come from not taking care of yourself. Gaming is like many other things. Swimming for example. It’s fun, we do it all the time, yet so many people drown. 2 boys drowned here in Canada over the weekend just now. Drinking is the same. Don’t drink till you die. Get my point?

So Santa Claus gave in and agreed with me at that point. He’s going to let his kid play games, but watch the rating, how much times he spends on it, what his marks are like, etc. He’s going to be aware of what’s going on. At least that’s what he says now. He seems like a really good father though. He is Santa Claus after all. :3

So to end my rant I’ll just say that videos games are not evil. They are and influence but they are not the only one. We only see them in the media so much because they are a new thing to us. So take everything in moderation, take care of yourself, and look out for your loved ones.

World PvP Struggles..

Hey everyone, just decided to give you all a quick little update to what I’ve been doing.

Last week you would of found me leveling a certain priest over on a pvp server. I thought everyone liked me! Guess what? I thought wrong.. I had been ganked around 15-20 times for over 4 hours. Hell, I even logged off, ate some food, watched t.v. and played an alt. I came back and they were still there. Not just the four of them. There were about 8-10 of them! Level 80′s ganking a level 70 Disc priest.  It was actually kind of fun. It was like I was the victim of an organized crime. (Does that make me weird? Probably.) They had my body camped and the graveyard! After many attempts to escape I managed flying high up into the sky where no one could see me and got away. I flew off to Warsong hold thinking I’d be safe. Nope. They came in, smashed everything in sight and killed me there. Then they had the graveyard and the Hold surrounded. Literally. I peeked outside and saw Alliance on Bronze drakes flying all around. It was getting a little scary at this point.

Hope you guys are having as much fun as me!

P.S. Faction spies suck. Don’t do it.
