Happy Pandemonium Day
Talk about your Hallmark Holidays
Sometimes Life gets in the way.
Take today, for example. July 14th just happens to be Pandemonium Day. A day to celebrate all that is chaos and crazy. This is a holiday I can get behind, and with much enthusiasm. Too much enthusiasm some might say. We call those people “party poopers”, or “police officers”.
Unfortunately I’ve been working the night shift, and the flesh is weak. It needs sleep. Which means there isn’t really very much I can do to celebrate today between sleeping and working. Next year I’ll have to book the day off or something.
But maybe, in some small way, I can pay homage to this day of carnage celebration. Was there something I could do in-game? There had to be. Deathrokk had to work on the Loremaster of Draenor part of the Flying meta. Was there any kind of shenanigans he could partake in while getting work done?
Funny you should ask.
Today also happens to be National Nude Day. I’m not making any of this up. Google it.
Anyhow, the solution was fairly simple. Time to get crazy. Crazy naked.
The landscape of Draenor just got a little greener.
Today, while Deathrokk quests toward completing his Loremaster achievement, he will be creating some lore of his own.
Magic Mike style.
Warchief Vol’jin’s law says you can’t touch, but I think I see a lotta lawbreakers up in this garrison today…
Walk-Away Knockout
Saturday morning, I got home from work and went to Wowhead. I wanted to see which Treasure Contract was up, so I knew when I would be going to sleep. After missing it for weeks, “Treasure Contract – The Artificer” had popped. Even in the comments for this mission, people complained at how infrequent this thing appeared compared to others.
I logged in on all six characters and knocked out the contract. For one character it was the last one needed to get Harrison Jones. Dr Jones is slowly coming home to roost.
Getting this done was as satisfying as a walk-away knockout – dominating a situation so completely that when you beat it, everyone knows that you won. There’s no need for judges to render a decision, or a referee to step in at his discretion. You stepped in and head-kicked adversity, leaving it staring at the lights and maybe drooling a little bit.
Something like this:
