Did a scene for the game tonight over IM. Apparently, I had one of my players so wound up that his wife logged on and got on my case for "making him yell at the screen".

*snort*

Follow along with me and see if you can spot the cognitive dissonance.

A WoW film
A WoW fan film
A WoW fan film that involves a song
A WoW fan film that involves a song written by a fan
A WoW fan film that involves a song written and sung by a fan
A WoW fan film that involves a song written and sung by a fan about Christmas
A WoW fan film that involves a song written and sung by a fan about Christmas and it doesn't suck.

Okay, so the italics probably make it easy to spot the Cognitive Dissonance moment. Any way, cool WoW Christmas song. I almost feel like I'm doing some wrong just by saying the words "cool WoW Christmas song".

Oh, so far the best drop I've picked up is a new digital camera to replace my busted up old-ass camera that I ganked from the last raid on Work supplies before they nerfed my access. It's a green, but, hey, it beats my old shit.

Got a raid later on the GH (Grandparent's House). I figure it'll be mostly n00b gear, so my little guildees will make out like bandits. Maybe something cool will drop though...

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

my nerd-spawn made out pretty good

stuck at home right now tho. I scored a camera bag for my digital SLR, a book, some clothes, & got to see everyone have a good time, which was the best gift of all

That was AWESOME! *holds up a lighter*

I got the new Super Mario Bros for Wii and Lego Rock Band for Wii

 

[AbiNormyl]

I am amused; I got a bag of coal in EQ2. hmmm....

 

[LadyAria]

I'm a 360 nut when I have time to play. Fighting games...I have the attention span of a gnat.

Yup, the n00bs made out like crazy. Damned Need Before Greed rules. I wanted that stinking marshmallow launcher gun. That thing was sick.

Anyway, got some nice cloth drops and, well, a 70lb kettlebell. I am happy.

 

[notalwaysweak]

I GOT POKEMON PLATINUM!

that is all. it made me happy

 

[Harmony_1985]

The new Super Mario Bros game is awesomeness.

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

my son re-discovered his wii over christmas & is playing it like mad at Grandma's

 

[Loradai]

The new Super Mario Bros game is awesomeness.

I agree whole heartedly unfortunately i am horrible at it and am still at stage 2 the horrible sand levels

Oh dear. I like this thread.

Hello. I'm Jade. Once upon a time, I was an EQ addict. It was pretty hopeless. Looking back, it was also pretty pathetic how much of a sheer noob I was. But I loved it. And believe it or not, it taught me everything I know about speed/touch typing. >_>

Eventually, I got over EQ.

Mostly because I became a Star Wars: Galaxies addict. That was even more hopeless. Hooray for completely broken sandbox games!

Three times so far, I've left that game. We're hoping I've lost my discs so I don't crack again.

Then I became a WoW addict. For a while I was a hunter on a PvP server; and here I swear I'm not a masochist. ; I did eventually get that toon to 70, whereupon everyone told me I needed to PvP for better gear so I could raid.

I'll give you a minute to let that one percolate. I swear to you, this is what they told me. I eventually decided it was because they hated hunters, and just wanted to send me looking for the left-handed pickle slicer.

I transferred to a new server and started over, later. I got my beautiful shadowpriest to 80, learned to raid, geared the crap out of her. At one point shortly after Ulduar release, I could brag that she was 5th on a shadow-spec horde-side gear check on my server. *flex*

And then the unthinkable happened.

Someone in my guild said, "Hey guys, check this out!" and linked us the website for Aion.

Hello. My name is Jade, and I'm an Aion addict. It's pretty hopeless... but I don't mind.

Guildmate of mine & his waife (also a guildmate) just had their first child. They are also friends and local (about 25 miles away, which in Texas is close)

so I am getting them THIS for their new baby boy (& non-combat pet)

 

[sb2009]

I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 2. I mean, I'm buying it for my husband.

 

[Andrianya]

AHH! Not a murloc plush!!! You'll give that poor child nightmares. LOL... You should see me sitting on my couch doing my best murloc impersonation. What is it about those awful things that makes me need to imitate them? Imagining my gnome mage communing with murlocs. Who could resist?
I was at a grad party last night and someone mentioned Dragon Age... I don't know what happened for the rest of the party cause that's what I was talking about

I am a Dragon Age Addict. I've had to go to the Bioware site and the spoiler section.

One of my threads is just random "Psychic Impulses" when you play the game through several times.

I've got like 63 pages of random silliness. It's DAO Robot Chicken. Perfect outlet for my compulsive DAO babble.

 

[Andrianya]

Heehe, I love Robot Chicken, sounds perfect

Heehe, I love Robot Chicken, sounds perfect

Sample:

*listening intently to Harrowmont*
Me: Sir. Have you and Bhelen considered a walk off?
Harrowmont: Excuse me?
Me: You're both just such big drama queens I thought you'd really enjoy the venue. Set up the Proving with a catwalk and just strut it out, you and him.
Harrowmont: Strut?
Me: It'll be amazing. You can boost the Smith Caste revenues by making a fabulous collection and intimidate the nobles with the size of your codpiece. It appears that's all anybody really cares about down here anyway.
Harrowmont: Warden, I find this -
Me: Fine. Tell you what. What if we get Morrigan to drug/hypnotize Bhelen and then I stand on the balcony and kill Bhelen with an arrow to the throat while the techno is pounding.
Harrowmont: Techno? You mean...golems with drums? I just want what's best for Orzammar.
Me: Sure you do, you double-dealing, spine-lacking pile of uselessness.
Harrowmont: I'm sure those are all valid criticisms.
Me: Of course they are. So...deal?
Harrowmont: *sigh* Deal. Can I wear one of those...those...around the neck things?
Shale: A featherboa?
Harrowmont: Yes. In teal. Teal is my color.
Shale: Of course you can. I'll provide the feathers.

 

[Andrianya]

lol.... Bhelen in a boa... and a catwalk, hilarious... I'm playing a dwarven noble at the moment so I wouldn't mind seeing all of Orzammar go up in flames

Amen. After seven or so playthroughs I've gotten...um...destructive. Yeah. That's a good word.

Hello I am Lora and I am a DAO widow hubbie stays up all hours playing that game. But I am ok I have my new Zelda to fill in my time.

Hello Lora. I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked through my DAO therapy by having a mod made for the end of my game so one critical thing happens. I get to punch Alistair out and have my glory moment.

There's a new Zelda?

I'm going to have to get through Mass Effect fast because the new one comes out in a few weeks and I'm not missing out on more Bioware fun.
