Faction Pride
December 7, 2009 § 3 Comments
Larisa over at the Pink Pigtail Inn posted yesterday about Alliance faction pride–or the lack thereof. She talks about Blizzard’s 5th anniversary Battlecry event, and how most of the pictures are Horde related. At the end of the post she asks:
Where is our faction pride? Where’s our heart? Do we care at all about our Alliance? Why aren’t we posting our pictures at the Battlecry Event?
The short version is this: The Horde is a group of outcast, downtrodden, recently freed from evil, and orphaned races joined together in a common goal. They need each other more to survive. The Alliance is more a loose confederation of independent city states (kind of like how Italy started). They are grouped up mainly because there is strength in numbers, making it easier to stand up to the Horde and fight off enemies like the Burning Legion and the Scourge. So it’s a lot easier to get behind the Horde as a whole, where as with the Alliance people tend to get behind their own race more than the Alliance as a whole.
Tiny Deep Breaths of Doom!

I was reading somebody’s blog the other day (I’m really sorry I don’t remember who it was), and they had related a story that their Onyxian whelpling set off their Deadly Boss Mods with it’s tiny version of ‘Deep Breath’. I had a good chuckle about it, and it slipped from my mind. Until last night when the exact same thing happened to me. And how did I react? I screamed like an idiot and ran into the wall–despite being in the Orgimmar Auction House.

Three months! Hooray!
December 2, 2009 § 11 Comments
My blog is three months old today. Yes, that’s right, today we’re getting all meta. I can’t help it. But since it seems like plenty of other bloggers self analyze their blogs, I feel justified in doing it myself. Ok fine, the truth is I couldn’t think of anything else to write about today. But I promise the post will be funny as well as informative. After all, learning is fun!
I haven’t been around long enough to go into some long treatise on the intentions of the blog juxtaposed against the actual posts and the degree to which they have succeeded in implementing those intentions. Besides, that’s totally boring. So instead, I’m going to list a few stats and talk about the interesting things people are searching that lead them to my blog.

I watched a movie last night that got me thinking. My eventual point will probably spark a few disagreements. That’s fine, not everyone has to agree with me. I won’t judge you for being wrong. Find out what the movie, and the point are, after the break.
