Also I think the behaviour of more experienced players to new players can have a huge impact on the game experience of both. I probably wouldn't have stuck at WoW at all if I hadn't been someone's pocket noob, and even though I'm not in touch with that person any longer I still remember him whenever I encounter a new player in the game. Also, you never know, he might seek you out again a long time in the future when friends move on, guilds change, servers change ... WoW connections can be surprising like that :) Sun, 15 Aug 2010 13:02:09 +0000 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/in-which-i-adopt-a-newbie-and-what-happened-after/#IDComment93288619 http://dkdeathgoddess.blogspot.com/2010/07/oranje-orange.html#IDComment87528368 OMG!!!

Also Hine is a girl DK. I like it actually - much more readable than the black.

I have about as much acting ability as ... as ... a thing without much acting ability. But I'll tell Chas his dulcet tones are required.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE. Tue, 6 Jul 2010 16:14:01 +0000 http%3a%2f%2fkissmyalas.com%2f%3fp%3d841#IDComment85150448 http://kissmyalas.com/?p=711#IDComment80378615 Dear girl, this is libel. You will be hearing from my lawyer. Nom.

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:19:32 +0000 http://dkdeathgoddess.blogspot.com/2010/06/good-week.html#IDComment79579270 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/girls-gone-geek-rhii-recommends-books/#IDComment79479952 Weeee! Geeky book talk. I read The Bone Doll's Twin quite a few years ago now and I liked it a lot - I thought the gender politics were interesting and I though the premise was delightfully creepy - I remember feeling quite disappointed, however, by the way the story developed although I can't remember for the life of me why... I suppose that probably suggests I should re-read them. If you like non-traditional, political, gender/sexuality aware fantasy, have you run across Ellen Kushner at all? Although, thinking back, perhaps it was the swordplay I liked best in those... Lord Peter Whimsy is, and will always be, my favourite sleuth. And although I am not a tabletop roleplaying sort I did actually flick through a copy of Changeling: The Lost a while ago - I remember thinking it was beautifully presented but frankly drawing an explicit connection between the characters' experiences of faery and real life abuse survival struck me as ... well ... not okay. The whole business struck me as this adolescent desire to convince us all about the darkness of fairy tales, man, when actually they're dark enough on their own terms already. Sorry, ranty Tam is ranty :) Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:29:16 +0000 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/girls-gone-geek-rhii-recommends-books/#IDComment79479952 http%3a%2f%2fkissmyalas.com%2f%3fp%3d675#IDComment79456026 This really does put my minor guild dramas and crises into perspective :/ It's annoying how little place "common sense" seems to have in these sort of situations - I mean if the dude isn't damn well raiding, why should he have a raider rank? Also perhaps I'm just insanely idealistic but I think the spirit of law is implicit in its letters, you know. I don't have useful advice; this is just a general tea and sympathy type comment. But for what it worth's: I think you're dead right about this, and I don't think it's unduly harsh. I think it's pretty self-evident.

I mean sometimes you just run across things that are significant enough upgrades that who cares if the itemisation is a bit dodgy. I had the Scougelords Baton for ages (lol!hit) and even now clueless caster DPS get annoyed when I roll on items they view as not being for healers on account of lacking spirit - and, really, life is too short to explain to people who disc priests work :P Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:40:06 +0000 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/upgrading-for-appearances-ow/#IDComment79453424 http://kissmyalas.com/?p=704#IDComment79305376 No, no I'm going to stick with honoured. And considering it could have been a chicken or a crab or something I think a fuck off moderately sized dinosaur is a fine namesake :) Wed, 9 Jun 2010 14:45:06 +0000 http://kissmyalas.com/?p=704#IDComment79305376 http://kissmyalas.com/?p=704#IDComment79304469 It's all right, the dinosaur is DPS, so his masculinity is in no danger. It is only priests, as we know, who are girls. Also ... err... thank you. I am honoured. I think?

Can't be trusted. *nods* Tue, 1 Jun 2010 17:25:25 +0000 http%3a%2f%2fkissmyalas.com%2f%3fp%3d669#IDComment78064691 http%3a%2f%2fkissmyalas.com%2f%3fp%3d645#IDComment78016760 I think most of the characters I've played for the longest time have been male - I've made female characters but I guess I just don't get into their head as well. I've noticed that people tend to be more protective - as a general rule here - to my female healers than my male ones, but then people are much nicer to my male dorf than they ever were to my male belf. I guess it's because my dorf looks like he's up for a laff and my belf looked liked he felt nothing but contempt for you :) Tue, 1 Jun 2010 12:12:32 +0000 http%3a%2f%2fkissmyalas.com%2f%3fp%3d645#IDComment78016760 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/q-u-e-u-e/#IDComment78005799 Bwhahaha, this is totally pedantic but I love it. Also I just just imagine Q getting really shirty with so many people wandering around Azeroth going "This q sucks, lol." :) Tue, 1 Jun 2010 09:47:09 +0000 http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/q-u-e-u-e/#IDComment78005799 http://www.righteousorbs.com/?p=1909#IDComment77176324 I appreciate it - thank you. You don't like the quote?

I mean, I was trying to CULL THAT PLACE and she was all "oh no, don't cull it," and I was like "I'm gonna cull it" and she was like "no, don't cull or I'll cry." Hah!
