If you never said hello, you don't have to say goodbye

So there's this weird part of me that's super excited for WoW to add the pet battles function to the game. I know it's not happening until the Mists of Pandaria expansion (I think that's when it's scheduled?), but the happiness and joy, they are present today. It's probably lame of me, because who wants what is essentially Pokemon mixed into their Warcraft? *raises hand* SORRY, I JUST THINK IT'S ADORABLE. Plus, it'll give me something productive to do while I whine and complain about leveling! Leveling is hard! So are achievements!

But, you know. A whole new race thing is exciting, too. A race of pandas, and they can be played in either faction. There is NOTHING not awesome about that. Don't really care about the new class, though. :\

Uh, yeah. Patch 4.3 came out yesterday, and while I remembered to download it last night, I haven't actually opened the game yet to see what's different. Doug tells me there's a bag search bar now? Which is pretty useless, for me anyway (I keep my bags almost empty most of the time, unless I'm hip deep in quests and can't get to a vendor to sell down, or the auction house, depending), I don't know how other people feel about it. And then a raid finder, but I've been on exactly 1 raid in the entire time I've played, so that's useless to me, too.

I'll have to see what else is new next time I have a spare couple of hours to play. I am SO CLOSE to hitting 83 on Alundi (for clarification: I am in Deepholm right now, where I spend most of my time wanting to shoot myself in the face. Seriously one of the most boring zones ever). Maybe I'll actually max out the levels before Pandaria? Kind of ambitious, I know!

And if I wasn't going to a concert on Saturday, I'd be running Ahn Qiraj with the guild and leveling Mal. *sigh* *wonders where this social life came from*

La la la, gaming! And avoiding answering emails from providers! La la la!

I might actually start playing more once the expansion hits. Our guild fell apart after we switched servers (and factions) and now I have nooooooooooo motivation to do anything.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that sucks. Why did you switch servers and factions? Was that something the whole guild wanted, or what? Also, if you're interested, I play on Runetotem with both factions. >.>

We switched to join a guild a RL friend from Canada was in with his brother in law. Our old guild had fallen apart and they wanted to start a second raid group so it worked out well. Unfortunatly, when Dad got sick and we weren't around it kinda fell apart a bit and the main members decided to transfer the guild to a different server.

Ahh, gotcha!

HEY, no shade in enjoying Pokemon. Or pandas.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely no shame there. I've heard complaints that it's silly to add a Pokemon-esque element to Warcraft, though - mostly from my boss. XD

I LOVE PANDAS. ESPECIALLY KUNG-FU PANDAS. AND LISA FRANK PANDAS ARE COOL, TOO.

Heh. So here's a funny story: the Pandaren were in Warcraft III, which was released in 2002. Kung Fu Panda came out in 2008.

So if you hear anyone complaining about Kung Fu Panda ripoffs? Backwards.

I didn't know that the Pandaren were from WIII, but I haven't actually seen anyone relate the two before. I just like all manner of kung fu pandas. XD
