Lichy!

Yesterday was quite enough deep insightful personal stuff. Now I talk WoW.

I'm extra-excited now that Sylvanas' Blood Elf model turned out to be a placeholder for an amazing awesome proper model. The second model was okay, but the hair was too foo-foo and she needed the hood and she just looked too plain for a racial leader. This is the model she should have had in the first place, if they...you know...had had High Elves and hoods that worked that way and stuff. I would also be thrilled if that hood model was used elsewhere, as Melana totally needs one. Assuming someday she is actually leveled for Northrend gear. I'd love for Meri to have one, too. The hoods coming up around your neck look silly with the plunging neckline most robes have.

As we were pretty much the only people who didn't get in the beta, Andrew and I copied our 70s over to the PTR as soon as it opened. And then the power immediately went out for a couple days. I'm really glad we did, though, because it taught me something very important: the video card I got when I put my new system together just isn't gonna cut it anymore. So for my birthday I asked Andrew to get me a new one. I suspect that the earlier iteration of the PTR might have had its own problems anyway, but I am back to getting very solid framerates with all settings turned up, including the dynamic shadows and increased draw distance. I may have to post screenshots.

I have taken 11/13 off work, because I am a dork. I am considering also taking 11/14 off and making a four-day weekend of it. We've both got Collector's Editions reserved at GameStop, and we plan on making it a midnight thing. Bawls will almost certainly be involved. Andrew asked what I intended to do first and, after a moment's thought, I realized I want to take Meridith to Vengeance Landing. She's been chomping at the bit to go for ages now, and there's no excuse for her to not be on the first zeppelin over. Or at least the first once I get home and get it installed, which shouldn't take too long given the location of the GameStop and the speed of my computer. I'll probably wait until the next day at the soonest to roll Dariahn-the-Death Knight.

There will be some interesting RP shenanegans for Curse that may be kicking off right after the Hallow's End ball. Stay tuned!

Putress is a badass.
