What's up Slaya?

If you're a reader of Tipa's blog, you'll already be familiar with our Sunday night group's forays into Dungeons and Dragons Online. We have a very cool ragtag group that consists of me (a halfling sorcerer . . . lovingly called a "gnome" by the rest of the group--Gleek Wondertwin to you, thank you), Spode (the human paladin), Ophiga (the drow rogue), Ulan (the human Favored Soul), and now Shyadaren (new to the group cleric and still catching up).

Outside of Sundays we all dabble here and there and solo mostly or play together if one of us is online. nothing serious.

Our most recent adventures have been in 3-barrel cove, a wonderful pirate-laden expansion full of . . . pirates . . . AND PIRATE SHIPS! This sky pirate ship has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in game yet.


I freaking love that ship. I can't get enough screenshots of it, actually.


Seriously, that's so beyond awesome . . . like more awesome than the mechanical spider in Wild Wild West. ;-)

And once you make you're way up to the sky pirate ship, there's always a good handful of pirates to soak with an acid blast or two or three or four.


Easy come, easy go, those pirates. And once you've off'd them all, you are given this most magnificent wallpaper shot of the ship as a kind of side reward . . . as long as you dare walk the plank and spin the camera to take it. :-)


Yes, my feather fall cloak was ready at a moment's notice.

All this pirate killing finally paid off this morning as I hit the max number of pirates you can kill for experience in the zone . . .


We have a saying in the group whenever you hit the next level of slayer in an adventure zone that definitely is apropos here: "WHAT'S UP SLAYA!"

DING, Level 7.

Looks like the joys of fireball are all mine now. From my initial casts of fireball I have to say THAT IT ROCKS! It's incredibly spendy and addictive. It eats through my mana like nothing. I'm definitely going to have to put my fireball in check on Sunday nights.

:-)

Catch you on the flip side.

Snubbed in DDO!

You may have been reading Tipa’s DDO commentary (scroll about half-way down) over on West Karana . . . or not . . . but I just want to point out THAT SHE PRETTY MUCH ENTIRELY FAILS TO MENTION ME EVER! *snubbed*

Here I am trying to gain some quasi-fame through Tipa’s blog and all I get is like a line here and there every other MONTH. LAME! Most of her posts should read something like this.

“Stingite was doing these awesome jumps behind us that really made me hawt, but I was trying to concentrate on healing. I just love when Stingite unleashes five burning hands spells in a row, and I have to dump all my mana on him because it’s so worth it to keep him alive and that empty feeling I have when I’m done is the same kind of pit of love I fall into when I listen to Justin Beiber. Stingite, you complete me!”

Stuff like that. Stuff like these guys give me.


But do you know what I get instead? “Tony dinged 5 . . .” Yeah, right. “STINGITE dinged 5 . . .” She totally got that one wrong. AND to make things even more suspicious she keeps claiming that Tony (A Canadian mind you) sounds like me (from the western US) over vent. Yeah, it’s intentional snubbing. I don’t buy it.

It’s ok Tipa, I’ll still be jumping around and casting burning hands for you . . . just know that now I’m going to be counter-reporting your Sunday posts so as to tell THE TRUTH! (which of course is that without “me” this Sunday night game would just be “awe so” instead of “awesome.” Word.

“Stingite hugs the air around him”
