Agoraphobia and WoW: My Form of Rehab
Sorry to interrupt the general flow of this blog, but I feel like getting down and personal for once. Will this happen often? Unlikely. I'm currently feeling incredibly sterile with this blog though, along with many other things, and I want to be real for a bit. I've also been highly inspired by Beru with her incredibly moving personal post over at Falling Leaves and Wings.
This is in no way, shape, or form meant to be a "QQ" post, but rather a way to get some things off my chest. Perhaps it could also help someone else in the long run...who knows.
If you have any comments along the lines of "Lol go get help noob." or of anything of the like, please keep them to yourselves. If they pop up around here, I'll simply delete them. I have enough negativity in my life, and this blog is my realm. If you don't like it, your navigation bar is located at the top of your web browser.
This is my world. Welcome to it.

Darkmoon Faire Friday!
They're quirky, they're fun, they're Darkmoon Faire Fortunes! They have been pretty much out of sight and out of mind for most folks since the Burning Crusade, mainly due to the fact that the faire didn't come near Dalaran in Wrath of the Lich King and most people didn't hang out in the old world much. In honor of Cataclysm and the return of players to the old world, every Friday will be feature a different Darkmoon Faire Fortune here at World of Saz. Enjoy!

Hoarders: Azeroth Edition - Old School Pets
It's Mini Pet Month! (Because I say so!)
They're cute...they're cuddly...they're collectible! Oh yes my friends, I'm talking about mini pets. Welcome to this week's installment of Hoarders: Azeroth Edition! I decided to do something a bit different this time around, and instead of just showcasing all of the pets currently available to players, I will be breaking down the non-combat pets collection down into a five week series. With this officially being week 1 of 5, I figured we should start at a logical point: the beginning. Where is the beginning for those of us involve in the MMORPG world of WoW? Why, classic World of Warcraft of course!
Once upon a time, in land which wasn't sundered and where the highest level of hero was a mere 60, the inhabitants of Azeroth both great and small carried non-combat pets within their little backpacks...so long as they didn't mind fleas that is. Now-a-days the heroes are mightier, carry bigger sacks upon their backs, and have the ability to summon any one of a multitude of miniature creatures to help keep them company during long walks through the Barrens and to offer up moral support during those particularly difficult boss fights. Though, who in their right mind would bring an innocent kitten or a helpless whelpling into a brutal battle against some power crazed creature and/or bad guy is beyond me.
Here's how we're gonna break things down for this week. Vanilla didn't have a huge variety of pets - collecting on a large scale back then was nearly impossible after all - so this week is fairly straight forward. You have your drops, which you basically just run around murdering mobs on a massive scale until you manage to convince one of the buggers to crawl into a cage for you and become your life long companion. Next up you have your quest lines...go here, go there, get a pet...nothing terribly fancy. And last but definitely not least, you have your vendor pets. Toddle on over to that vendor guy (or gal), give 'em a few silver, and you have yourself a brand new friend!
So kick back, relax, check out this list of old school pets and get your Elmyra on.

Don't Phunk With Me
I am in a funk. A funky, funkalicious funk. You know, one of those oddly unmotivated but motivated funks where you want to get things done, but everything's jammed up like a reverse writer's block. I'm also coming down with a cold, so the loopiness isn't helping any.
I've been mondo busy since I've managed to get back online just a few short days ago with attempting to get caught up on all of my blog reading/facebook junk/video watching and trying to make all of the material that I've been working on for the past two months blog worthy. So far I've been fairly successful, but unfortunately HTML and I have once again began to butt heads. HTML: 9002, Saz: 3
-----
Since I'm babbling, I may as well point out some of the changes here at WoS.
- First off, for those of you who mainly read me from an RSS Feeder, you should stop on by the actual WoS page and give a gander at the new layout. Yes, another one. I think I may actually keep this one for a good bit though.
- Secondly, I have added a new tab up at the top of the main page called the Guide Book. The text may show up incredibly light for you RSSers out there, and that issue is where the HTML boss critted my butt. Anyways, the Guide Book is basically a large list of raiding resources including most of the amazing class oriented blogs I've come across, a few different forums, and various other sites out there that I found to have useful information in them. As you can see though, I still have many gaps. If you have a blog/run a forum/put out class oriented pod casts or know of ones that are particularly solid in the information sphere of PvE (or even PvP, I wouldn't turn down those links either), please by all means drop me a comment, I'd definitely appreciate the help on filling the list out. I know that I'll be using that list often to double check facts, and hopefully it can be of some use to my readers as well.
- Next up we have this week's edition of The Rack. Part 1 of 5 was put out earlier today, and the next few parts will be released more or less over the next week. I've been getting a lot of hits on tier lately, so I've decided to do a rather large master image list of Tier 11. Not really the most entertaining edition that could be released, but no worries, there should be some better articles coming up in the next few weeks.
- I'm excited to be able to do Hoarders again. Really, I am. I'm very excited to be working on this month's (yes, month's) super edition. I'm just praying to the HTML gods to not mess with me and the text colors that I use. Copy/pasting from WordPad is horrid. 'Nuff said.
- A new useless poll is up on the right hand of WoS. For those who like to push buttons, go nuts!
-----
In other news, I'm pining for WoW something fierce. I still have yet to purchase the expansion, and I don't have the cash to get my account back up quite yet. The frustrations, the withdrawals! Ahhh, curse you vile luck!! At least I can ramble on about WoW-related things, watch WoW related Youtube goodness, and read killer WoW blogs now. Huge step in the right direction...I think. I mean, it's just been far too quiet in my world without WoW parodies.
If I could wag my shaman tail, I would.
I suppose I could stop rambling now and go work on this week's Hoarders.
*Puts on her lucha libre mask*
Alright HTML boss, I'm coming after you.
Edit: Huzzah! The achievement of the night is...*drum roll*...Wowhead links now pop up information whenever you hover over them! Easiest thing in the world, and I failed at it hard when I attempted this by myself. Thank goodness for the Blog Azeroth forums.
