The Days After....

[teddog]

I am sooooo far behind on Prisoners of Gravity stuff. Laura suggested over the weekend that I buy Signal Loss a domain name. SignalLoss.com is open, but so is PrisonersofGravity.ca and .org. The latter two are more direct.

Fan Expo was.... uh... interesting. Sorry I didn't visit you, pyat. I couldn't find you and the staff was not helpful in the slightest.

I did get to meet some nifty people here and there. And there was shopping - I got myself a Yuki plushie and a 2001 t-shirt, although I found it was hard to locate anything sci-fi related that interested me. The problem is that my interests run in funny circles and nobody likes to admit that they like cheesey stuff unless that cheese is currently in fashion. That and I like books. :-\

In WoW news, we now have an official hang out for our Horde characters - "Kodo Lodge" over on the realm Moon Guard. Look us up if you're over there and bored. I have a little orc hunter on there, but I might focus on my extremely silly blood elf mage because being a hunter again means doing the exact same things for 60 more levels. I normally HATE blood elves, but... eh... this one is special in the same way my human priest is special and TBC starting areas are fun to level in.

More Warcraft/Wrath of the Lich King stuff has been released.

Highlights:
- Pre-WotLK, the "final" raid (thus far) for Burning Crusade is going to be the Sunwell Plateau, which is probably going to be a another step in the "Merry Misadventures of Kael'thas Sunstrider" plot.
- Death Knight class will be unlockable in the 55-60 level range. People will still whine.
- There will be more Caverns of Time instances, with one announced based on the Culling of Stratholme campaign. I perdict that it will be like normal Stratholme mixed with Escape from Durnholde; you escort Arthas and he kills a dragon who claims to have a role in the plot but doesn't at all. Sadly, you will not be able to moon Kel'Thuzad this time.
- Malygos will be a raid encounter. I want to see him that jester outfit from The-Novel-That-Must-Not-Be-Named.
- Naxxramas Take Two: Electric Boogaloo is going to be the first 25 man raid.
- Inscription still seems extremely strange.

For some reason, none of the gaming guests got assigned tables.

I wonder if they're paying me enough for this.

Well, we DID end up between some pretty big artists. We got a lot of extra foot traffic as a result.

That probably caused the trickle-down effect where none of the staff knew where the gaming guests were. I was told to look on the 700 level for the guests, of all places.

That's actually where some of the gaming was going on, so it's not a horrible idea, but the gaming guests (pyat, normanrafferty, koipond and judgefang) all ended up being seated in open spaces* within artists alley.

* i.e. "the orginal guest in that spot cancelled".

Yeah, I found the games going on upstairs, but no guests. I figured that my problem was that it was my first year at Fan Expo and there was some logical place for the guests that I hadn't figured out yet.

If all else fails, Artists Alley is the place to look.
