I don't know, maybe I am in a way. More like a psudo blog really. I have one whopping video of me killing Hungerfen a while back, but I did not have updated sound drivers so it did not record any sound. I have since reinstalled windows and the like so ill throw FRAPS back on and see.

I do not have a level 80 toon yet, this is my first go at the Northrend content. While I was leveling from 60-70, I followed the exploits of those on this message board and others. I watched people race to 80 as fast as they could. Farm Heroic Badges, Naxx, etc and then several just quit and burned out. There are a lot of posts about how unfriendly MB Northrend is with all the vehicles, collection quests, quest chains. Best I can tell there are not enough MB friendly quests to get you to 80. About 77-78 is all you can get to and then grind it out or do collection quests. Some of these frustrations were fixed by the time I got to them.

Anyway, I had a lot of time to plan out how I was going to proceede through Northrend. First is that the content is finite. There are only so many zones, with so many quests, with so many instances. I chose not to run to 80 as fast as I could, but to progress through each zone. I choose to do all the collection quests and the like to experience the lore the game has to offer, and it has far exceeded my expectations. Also I want as many quests to be available to me at 80 for the gold rewards so I can get epic flyers and other gold bought goodies. Ive cleared each instance that ive been sent too, and for a couple of them, farmed bosses to gear up before moving on. Also I have done a lot of daily quests with my limited play time. About 60-90 min each morning and once or twice a week I manage to sit down and get a good 4-8 hours in. I only have about 1.2 levels left to go and ill cap at 80. I have not started Grizley Hills yet, but that is where im moving next. I hope to be 80 before the end of May. There are some real life changes to my work schedule and stuff that is happening next week so im not sure what my play schedule will be. Im sure it will be a LONG way off before I get to heroics, but a side goal is to not burn out and quit for 6-12 months waiting for the next expansion to come out, but to be able to long on and progress through content.

Something else I have also picked up are the World of Warcraft books. I read Day of the Dragon and now im reading the war of the ancients. Its been a very nice lore/backstory to whats going on in lich king. Knowing why we are teaming up with the red dragon flight to take on Malygos. Why he is doing what he is, how he went insane, and why any of the aspects would even entertain the idea of killing one of their own. Seeing Rhonin in Dalran with his wife Vereesa next to him who also is Sylvanus's sister and then Krasus with is queen in Wyrmrest temple. The cut sceene with Rhonin, Thrall, Proudmore, and the Stormwind asshat when Ulduar opened made a whole lot more sense knowing this backstory.

Well, last night I went back to the Old Kingdom to get the Achivement as I skipped a boss on the first run due to running out of time. I dont know what it was, but that first boss wipped me 4 times before killing him. The 3rd boss that I had skipped killed me once before I got her down. She got one of the sacrifices and buffed and did like a whirlwind attack and one shotted all of my druids at the same time. A couple more deaths on crappy pulls and treants gone wild I finished the final boss in one try again, but this time all 4 of my druids gear was broken.

I prolly wont have much anything of interest to post till I hit 80 or finish Grizley Hills and get ready to go to Drak'Tharon Keep.
