Jane’s picture of Polar Bears and Starcraft 2

A mom and her two cubs off the stern of the ship, Svalbard

So I know that the picture is NOT specifically related to wow, but if you really think about it, it could be.  I mean, this was the reason that I had not been playing wow for so long!  And now, after so much complaining and the pending doom of school on Monday I have yet to even log in.  Why one might ask (Or DannyGnome, Selvain, and McLovin may know) is because I have recently acquired Starcraft 2 and have been blundering a few AI matches with Danewort.  It’s been fun, distracting, and I wish I had more time in the day to play it all.  I was really hoping to raid tonight (Friday) but we didn’t get enough of the guild on for even a series of 5 mans.  Selvain, I need to be introduced to your new character that you were playing!  Hopefully, as the end of summer approaches, we will come back to some raids.  Tuesday nights still have pretty high attendance I hear- too bad I may not be able to participate in those.  But let’s not be debbie downer!  I saw POLAR BEARS and maybe this year won’t be as busy, really.  Miss you all still, hopefully I’ll catch more of you over the rest of the weekend.

**Special Hugs to Ydain and Dash**

I MISS team venture :)

Jane here, I KNOW right?  Can’t believe that I actually have Internet again.  Well, this time it’s only for a brief few hours before I’m whisked away to the back country of the middle of no where-  summer fun here I come!  I can’t wait to dust off wow for a little time next week- hopefully everyone will be back from summer vacations etc.  I’ve been busy, as everyone can see.  My latest adventure was to Norway, specifically Svalbard (group of islands in the North).  And yes, there were POLAR BEARS!  WOOT WOOT!  I’ll have some Jane stories for you later, gotta run and finish getting the peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies out of the oven- if only they had that recipe in game.

*Hugs* Jane

Jane is lost to RL: Guild to have fun anyways

Just a quick update to say I miss you all, Dave is keeping up with everything, and you all should kick some serious raid butt!  I’ve been on rotations for school and away from the computer more then usual.  When I do have time I’ve been trying to recover and get some sleep.  I do have some quotes and good reasons we wiped the raid saved up and promise to get those updated next week.  Have a great time everyone!

So much time, so few players

So we had all the time in the world this weekend to knock down Prof. Putricide. We did our amazing clear on Tuesday and a few willing souls logged on for the raid on Friday hoping to be battered to a pulp a few times by the evil scientist. Well, the world was against us and we ended up not having enough for the 10 man. I didn’t even set foot in Icecrown this weekend. Special shout outs to McLovin, Heiliger, Dash, Danewort, Kliz, and Darth (shoot I’m missing one! Rekk, was that you with the dangely things?) for hanging in there. We ended up finishing out the ToC 10 that we started. It was our second time all the way to the end, and a few of the people hadn’t been with us the first time we ganked the Big Beetle Boss. So that was fun, I really do like that raid. Did you know what too? If you’re on the sandbox tiger when the floor breaks you fall while still playing quietly and land safely on the ground, still on the sandbox tiger. There was also quite a bit of rock throwing and Zeplin running.

So on Saturday, we didn’t raid either. A few of us ran a random, there was bag clearing, auction house buying things, profession doing, but no raiding. Well, that was until the boys transfered to Starcraft II and Jane went back to Dalaran to logg off and I saw in Trade:

[/5: Trade] LFG VoA, dps or heals
[/5: Trade] LFM, need tank and heals VoA 25
[/5: Trade] DPS shamman GS 5.4k LF group VoA 10/25

Yeah that’s right, the alliance finally got a hold of WG and there were people looking for a group, a raid, more, a chance to get some gear! I couldn’t believe it. So I look at Danewort, and think, ok. I’ve got time, sure. I adverstised my healing talents (Heals LFG VoA 10/25) and boom I’m in a group. About 2 minutes later the group leader says that there is another group closer to going and that he’d give them our names. No invite. No biggie, I’m at the dungeon by now, there are plenty of people around and I throw it out in general. Now, I don’t think I’m fantablous at heals but I can hold my own and I do have ICC and tier 10 gear, I’m not too shabby. Well, let me just say that I felt like the booger 4-eyes that sits on the dirt edge of the field waiting and being the last one picked for kickball. No wonder rading and pugging gets such bad rep. The group I was with were generally nice, some more so then others, and we did get the big boss down but most people left when the leader suggested we go do another boss. The ones that were complaining about the tanking were the dps that just sat in the fire, and the healing help was a little sparce (though they did try). Gosh I’m spoiled.

Moral of that Storytime with Jane: THANK YOU TEAM VENTURE FOR BEING SO AWESOME! I LOVE PLAYING WITH YOU ALL.
