Allakhazam is one of my favorite World of Warcraft sites. There have so many WoW resources there it’s unreal!

  • Quest Information (What area the quest giver is in, what the quest giver’s name is, how much money and XP earned from completing quest, where the mobs are that are needed for quest, etc.)
  • Item Information (Where to find them, what mob drops them, drop rate, etc.)
  • Mob Information (Areas they can be found in, money value, item drops, etc.)
  • Screen Shot of the Day
  • Quote of the Day

They have more than that as well, but that’s basically what I use it for. Anyway… so I was looking through the screenies of the day and I came across this picture entitled, “It’s Raining Men!” I couldn’t help but to laugh, because in the picture it looks like it’s actually raining men haha. Hope it brings a smile to your face!

Cheers!

Blizzcon, Yo!

So, they announced the dates and prices for BLIZZCON!! Oh how I wish I was able to go. People all over the Blizz and even the WoW forums were bitching about how much the tix are gonna costs. I would gladly chop off my left big toe in order to be able to go to Blizzcon! $100 is nothing compared to some of the other conventions I have seen around. I mean come on. If you are a hardcore player, then quit whining and jimmy up the money and go. Anyway, this was pulled from Blizz’s page:

WoW Chix is officially a web page! Woot! It was an idea I have had for a while now and I just needed to find the time to put my thoughts into reality. So finally here it is! This site isn’t only for girls who play World of Warcraft. It’s for any girl that plays any game! Be proud to be a girl gamer!! I sure as hell am!

In my opinion I think that in the gamer world, most people expect 99% of gamers to be guys. That completely isn’t true. If you go to any convention revolving around the gaming community you will see that almost half of the gamers there are female. It’s kind of hard being a girl in the gamer world because the males always think that because you are a girl, you can’t be near as good as them. I have seen girls kick some major ass in Counter Strike, Halo and even World of Warcraft. I remember when I was first started playing WoW, all these guys I was hanging out with got all ticked off cause I was out leveling them and getting better gear and over all just getting ahead of them. They thought a girl playing WoW was out of place, they thought I would stop playing at some point… oh they were so wrong!

It’s been 3 years and I’m still playing ^_^ I have many high level toons and countless alts. It’s something I enjoy. I’m a fan of console gaming as well, but WoW is something that has really taken my interest. It’s something I have invested a lot of my time in and I’m proud of my accomplishments.

I love playing along with my husband. He plays a Priest (Needlles) alongside of my Mage (Thread). In my opinion that is one of the best duo’s to work with. You get the damage of AoE and the healing of a Priest, PLUS he’s a Shadow Priest, so we get added damage. At the moment I am 65 and he is 64. We are getting there, slowly but surely.

Anywho gals, that about wraps it up for my first post. More than likely, I will be on in a few minutes to make another post haha. I’m so excited about finally getting the site up and running!! /cheer
