Well, sorry to say this is giong to be my last post. As you’ve noticed we’ve started slacking on time between casts due to real life time constraints. As summer comes to an end we both find ourselves becoming busier and busier. For me I am about to start a new very stressful semester of college that will be crazy bust and I can’t see having time for the cast much less for wow so as a mutual agreement between myself and Hock is that we will being taking leaving the cast. The site will stay up for a bit longer to hopefully get word out to those of you who are fans. If you would like to get a hold of me you are welcome to hit me up on aim, my aim username is Dcyndaria and I am still playing nobleadela on Earthen Ring

Hope to see you all another time

Hello, all.  I wanted to take a little bit of time to introduce myself.  While I sit here drinking my Starbucks latte and eating a PB&J that has jelly that I’m pretty sure is expired with Ricky Bobby playing in the background, I’m trying to think of what you guys would care about.  :)
First, let me thank Lorim & Manthra for their patience and for selecting me.  I know it was a hard decision and I aim to live up to their expectations, perhaps exceed them.

Who, what, & where…  
I have been playing for a little over 2 years and my main is a 70 Human Priest on Scilla (PVP-US).  Our guild has recently killed Felmyst and we’re working on Eredar Twins.  My first character was a rogue, years ago, and I got frustrated because I couldn’t stand questing and leveling.  The reason *why* I couldn’t stand it was because it was so SLOW!  Yeah, I know what you’re thinking.  ”Rogues are so easy to level! They level so fast!”  That’s true if you realize that you don’t have to go everywhere stealthed, which I did not realize when making my first character … but I digress.
So I stopped the game for a while and my brother in law got me back into it.  We decided to make some hunters together on Agamaggan.  He made an orc hunter and mine was a troll.  We leveled for a bit - I got her to 46 and he had to go away for a couple weeks for training since he was in the Army.  I didn’t want to pass him up so I decided to act on a suggestion that another friend of mine made, which was to try a priest.  
Well, during my leveling of my hunter I often found myself unfamiliar with zones that I was in, primarily because they were Alliance zones.  I decided to make this “temporary” character an alliance priest so that I could learn the priest and learn the alliance zones all at once.

Well, turns out my troll hunter is still 46.  I transferred her to Dalvengyr one day to play with some friends who were horde but that was a waste of $25 since I never played her after.  I fell in love with the priest and to this day, she’s my main.  I love healing and I love raiding.  I’m not sure I could play the game and not raid and I’m also not sure I could raid and not heal.  I now have of course my 70 priest, a 60 warlock, a 49 draenei hunter, and my “retired” 46 troll hunter.  As you might imagine, playing for as long as I have and only having one 70, I tend to try to perfect her primarily and everything else is, as they say, “gravy”.  I tend to carry this over to my UI and my addons.  I’ve used a lot of addons and gone through many versions of “Hock’s UI” and I finally have something I think I’m happy with.

I’ve tried but I can’t really get into the whole PVP thing.  As such, most of the insight I will personally be able to provide will be for mods that are primarily focused on PVE, raiding, leveling, and just making the general game play better.  I have a couple friends who have earned gladiator both seasons so far and are on track to earn it this season, so I will be trying to glean some information from them along the lines of PVP addons.

I’m happy to be part of this “community” and please let me know if you have any questions at all.  If you whisper me while I’m in game and I don’t answer you, please don’t take it personally.  I’m probably raiding, handling officer things, or answering one of the other 37489283750 whispers I get every night.

Hock out!

Ok so sorry for the delay in getting the video up. I went on a canoeing/camping trip and just got back :)

so the low res can be found here

April 7th, 2008 by admin

Ok guys here is episode 62 finally! Its here and we talk about the missing episode 61, the new co-hosts finalists and as we get into the bulk of the show Enno talks about DoT Timers and I go on into Advanced Trade Skill Window (ATSW) and all the details of how to use it to its fullest.

And here’s the link to DoT Timers DoT. Now I didn’t get into the “nitty gritty” on how to use this mod because it is so complex, I would have taken probly over an hour to go through it all. Like I said in the cast, this mod has six modules.

So as you all now know, Amaret is no longer going to be apart of the cast due to family emergencies. Enno has joined me but only temporarily because his life is still to busy as it was when he left the cast. So I am looking to interview for a new addition if you interested below is some things you need to know:

1. we record weekly
2. Right now I am doing all the work, whoever joins is expected to take some of the load.
3. You do not need any specific programs, what you need I can get you other than a headset.
4. It IS time consuming. A lot of time goes into this. I spend 1/3 of my week doing cast stuff, sometimes more.
5. You MUST be mature etc.
6. If you are interested you will need to interview.

If your interested hit me up on the forums or by email (wow.addons.podcast@gmail.com), tell me what times would be good for you to do a vent get together and we’ll make it happen.

We say good bye to Amaret and are very sad to hear that he has had to leave due to a family emergency but we wish him the best of luck. And because of this I decided it would be to boring for you guys listen to me so Enno has come back to talk a bit with me.

Also we talk about a brand new podcast hosted by Warmonger ( a good friend of mine and Enno’s) called The Dark Portal. We encourge you to check it out!

Hey guys,

Well I’ve put together a new survey for you guys to take. ITS REALLY IMPORTANT. The reason it is so important is we are going back once again and looking at video size, vs. video quality, vs. video resolution so we need you guys to go take the survey because it will affect the cast in the near future!

Also sorry about the show delay I realize it will have soon been two weeks since an episode and I will be putting out another one soon!

Heres the survey!

Disclaimer this will be a audio only episode do to the content.

In episode 57 we discuss account hacking; what it is, how it happens, how to get rid of it, and how to get your stuff back.

Here are some great blue posts on how to go about this as well. *Important* Key-Loggers and Computer Security and Frequently Asked Questions - Read Me!

This has been a very important issue for everyone involved in wow. It is more lucrative to steal your wow account than your credit card accounts. So guard your wow account better than your credit card information.

Looks like we have a sponsor to help out with some of our show costs. We need some help from all of you. Please check out Typefrag ventrilo servers we are having a trial run this month so please click the link above to check them out. This will help us out a ton so we can try to make the cast better and better for all our listeners. We use typefrag as our personal vent server so I know its good.
