Netherhood Welcome Wagon – The Warchief’s Command Board

Hello Everyone! I’d like you to join me in welcoming Garrosh Hellscream of The Warchief’s Command Board.

We all know Garrosh Hellscream as the…shall we say…polarizing Warchief of the Horde.  What you may not know about him, though, is that he’s recently discovered the joys of the internet, and has added his own unique (and often loudly irritated) voice to the blogosphere.  In his journey from Nagrand to Northrend to Orgrimmar to cyberspace, Garrosh has accumulated a wealth of experience (yet a poverty of sophistication…) to share…and if there’s one thing we know about Garrosh, he’s not one to hesitate to share what’s on his mind.

The Warchief’s Command Board offers us a window into the life of Garrosh, and all the trials and frustrations that comes with being the orc in charge.  With the occasional aid of his in-house tech goblin Spazzle, Garrosh shares his thoughts on the state of Azeroth and invites us along for his many colorful experiences.  So far he’s paid a visit to some of the Horde’s outposts around Kalimdor, gotten trolled in Barrens chat, fielded some rather pointed questions from his mailbag, and even treated us to a few samples of his very own attempts at poetry (no, really).  Oh, and struggled to figure out the delete key.  That one seems to be an ongoing issue.  Hopefully Spazzle can help straighten that out for him.

Poor Garrosh!  So many problems, so little time! I mean, just take a look at the all of the mail that he receives! No wonder he’s so stressed out and angry all the time! I mean, it seems to me that all the poor man wants to do is enjoy some of his delicious Lemon Squares in peace! Of course, there is also all of the travel that keeps a warchief away from home. Not to mention that insufferable goblin that is always underfoot!  I suppose it is certainly easy to see why he appears to be so angry!  When really, he’s just hungry and travel weary.  Maybe if he took a day at the spa down in Feralas.

I know that I certainly can’t wait to see what other adventures Garrosh partakes in!  Welcome to the blogosphere, Garrosh Hellscream!

Netherhood Welcome Wagon – Yelling On The Internet

Hello Everyone! I’d like you to join me in welcoming Jadissa of Yelling on the Internet.

Jadissa started playing WoW a few months after the game’s launch. Having been a fan of Blizzard’s previous efforts, he found it no surprise that he was immediately hooked. His favorite instances are Karazhan and Ulduar. No one it taking away his gnomish engineer’s guild membership. And he enjoys the lore, play and looks of the Draenei! Jadissa spends his time raiding as a paladin (Draenei, of course!), and enjoying the challenges Firelands is presenting.

In addition to WoW, Jadissa’s guild and social group has decided to explore additional group gaming. Including other MMO’s, League of Legend and Steam Games. As a group they’ve found that these adventures have helped to build up their friendships outside of WoW, and have really been enjoying getting to know each other even better.

Over at Yelling on the Internet Jadissa hope to look at a variety of topics surrounding gaming culture. You might find something about WoW one day, and Rift the next. Or thoughts that transcend one game into the more general MMO topics of raid leading and guild leading. He intends offer his thoughts up for conversation, knowing that not everyone will agree with him, but will have intelligent conversations about different topics in the gaming community. You might find things such as what it feels like to go from driving the raid bus, to being a passenger. Or perhaps a look one tank’s take on the great threat nerf. Or perhaps have an interesting conversation about your thoughts on the looking for raidd tool.

I’m looking forward to hearing more of Jadissa’s thoughts on his gaming communities!  Welcome to the Blogosphere, Jadissa!

Shared Topic: One vs Many? and World of Warcrafts

Here we are at what is likely to be my last Shared Topic recap. We’ve got one, possibly two awesome people who volunteered to take over. You will probably get to meet at least one of them next week.

Back to business now, our Topic from two weeks ago compares group questing vs solo questing, a Topic that is long overdue considering the Cataclysmic change in quests. The Topic was suggested by Martha from Martha.net:

While there are some quests that specifically call for grouping, most don’t… but do you group anyway? How many of you pick up a friend or guildie to quest with and how many grind the lonely roads alone?

Sharing the Topic were:

Martha from Martha.net

Amerence from Amerence Love WoW

Saga from Spellbound

Jod from Jod’s Blog

Elkagorasa from Elkagorasa the Casual

Kallixta from Kallixta’s Notes

Bless from Horde Review

Oathblade from Info about WoW from the Altaholic

Dragonray from Azerothian Life

And our more recent Topic was suggested by Essence of Gamer Girl Confessions who asks us to share our World of Warcraft IRL creations:

Inspired by Kalixta’s WoW Recipe IRL topic and the “World of Warcrafts” column over at WoW Insider, I started wondering, how many people are into making WoW-like things in real life? Not just food, though food could count too. But how many people create pottery inspired by WoW? Or wigs, or costumes inspired by WoW? Or even knit or sew things relating to WoW? Or are you a fan artist with pen and paper or pastels or clay? How about Machinmas? Comics? Stories?

Is there WoW inspiration in your life? Do you wear it proudly? Do you make it? Are you interested in it? This could go lots of ways–share what you make, or link to creations you’re fond of!

Participating were:

Essence from Gamer Girl Confessions

Rhoelyn from Beneath Two Skies (who didn’t really participate but did share her crafting column)

Saga from Spellbound

Kamalia from Kamalia et alia

Martha from Martha.net

Kallixta from Kallixta’s Notes
