2fps

Wait. Strike that, reverse it.

Pike’s resignation is so recent its still on the blogosphere’s metaphorical desk and already its got me thinking about things. The first thing I think of is OMG WHY DO I NOT UPDATE 2FPS MORE OFTEN WHEN I HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME NOW.

The second thing it makes me think of is the list of things I would still like to do before ending my WoW career. Here’s the list as I recall it off the top of my head at 4:48am.

Kill the Lich King

This one’s an obvious one. It brings my experience with Warcraft full circle as I saw the Arthas character begin life in Warcraft 3 and now am presented the opportunity to end his life in WoW. It also signifies the culmination of the idea for this guild I had well over a year ago. I see this goal as an inevitability.

Get my warrior to 80

I have one character of every class. Each of those characters is level 80 except my warrior who is in the mid-sixties. My compulsive side simply cannot rest if one of my characters isn’t max level.

Kill Kil’jaeden on my paladin

My paladin was my main character throughout the Burning Crusade. I’ve managed to get every pre-Wrath raid achievement on her except Kil’jaeden. The furthest I’ve been with her is the Eredar Twins before the fucking snow on the driveway ruined everything.

Make my blog not look like crap

I generally like the look of my blog but there are certain parts of it that make me weep. The header is one of those parts as is the comments section of each post. I have the ability to make it not crap but the motivation is lacking. I find that sad since Ashmaw/Balor provided me with such a brilliant header graphic months ago and I’ve been unable to figure out a way to work it into the Journalist theme after all this time.

Podcast

I’m going to use podcast as a verb here even though I have no idea if society will allow it.

I’ve had a pet idea percolating on the back burner for a while now. I kinda want to do a podcast. It would be like an audio version of 2fps as far as content goes but I could get guest stars to come on each episode. I would also want to make it a limited series, maybe do eight episodes total before ending it. This way it would be an addendum to 2fps, not a replacement. It also sets a reasonable limit to ensure burnout and time constraints don’t interfere.

Podcast with Chas and Tam

Carrying on the theme of the last bullet point I specifically want to air a podcast featuring myself with Chas and Tam of Righteous Orbs. Why? Clearly if you’re asking that you’re beyond hope because anyone would want to hang out in a ventrilo server with these two to do a podcast. Also, british accents boost ratings; any idiot in America knows this. If you want people to listen to your shit, get a Brit to talk to your audience.

Complete the Quel’delar quest

This is sort of a weird goal. I already did this quest on the PTR and I feel like that was a very satisfying experience. The only things that nag at me about it are that I don’t have a fancy purple token to show for it and I didn’t stop the quest chain at the part where you go to the restored Sunwell. Sadly, those two things contradict each other since you have to go past the Sunwell part of the quest to get the token. I’m undecided about this issue. If I don’t complete the quest I can go chill at the Sunwell anytime I want. Awesome. However, once I stop playing the game it would be nice to have something on the armory to serve as a reminder.

Actually that problem is stupid since it works itself out. I just don’t finish the quest until I’m done with WoW. Gah, I just solved at least a month’s worth of angst in one revelatory moment. That was dumb.

Finish and publish that damn post

Chas and Tam gave me a topic to blog about back in December. I’ve been working on it ever since. Its difficult since all the graphs and charts I want to include in the post are a little beyond my ability to create but that’s still no excuse. I simply need to suck it up and finish the damn post. Hell, its mostly complete as it is now, just post it ffs!

Poke Algalon

Also known as my last priority. I could take or leave this one and not lose a night’s sleep but it would be cool to at least attempt the Algalon fight because darnitall if it doesn’t look pretty as hell. Amg sparkles!

In the end, when I stop playing WoW I won’t feel that I’ve left much undone. I’ve been extraordinarily lucky when it comes down to the opportunities I’ve had and the friends I’ve made. When I put in my resignation, it’ll be with a feeling of satisfaction.
