Contest Winner

Well, I want to congrats cooleobrad for being the winner of the challange. Here is the video announcing the winner...


Be sure to give Cooleobrad some love and be looking forward to the next challenge, whatever that may be. Also I am working on a gear update video and should be posting that with in a week or less. I am also working on an addon video as many of you peeps want to know what addons I use. I do not use that many so it should be a short video, unless of course I ramble on as I seem to do.

One more announcement. My family just found out that we will be receiving a new member into the family. My sister is with child so I am going to be an Uncle. This is going to be the first of the kids having kids so we are all very excited.

Killing Blows

Just posted a video showing killing blows on my new druid. Also talked about the weekly challenge and would like you all to check it out. Get creative with the theme and post the videos. I love PVP and want to see others getting in the PVP spirit. :)

I really love Warsong Gultch so I decided to challenge you all to run and cap the flag in WsG. Now, I realize this is really easy but I think it is a pretty cool challenge for the first one. I am really curious to see how many people actually respond to it. I did some sort of contest in the past and had one person actually participate. So, we shall see what happens.

If you do not do videos, I am sorry, but this weeks challenge is only for video makers. I am thinking of one to do for next time for the people that do not make videos. I am not sure if I will have an idea, but I am thinking. :)

Patch 4.0.6 Changes

Here are some of the changes that will be taking place once the patch is live...

*Bloodlust, Heroism, Time Warp, and Ancient Hysteria will no longer be able to be used in arenas

*In Stands Of The Ancient, the mounted cannons will be dealing much more damage then before.
They will also be removing the passenger seats in the demolishers

*The Status of Tol Barad will be able to be seen by zooming in on Tol Barad from anywhere you happen to be.

There will be many racial ability changes as well and I suggest you check out the latest patch notes to see what blizzard has done to some of the racial abilities. One of the things I have taken note to is the Night Elf Shadow Meld ability and the Tauren War Stomp ability are now usable in ALL forms. This I like. Also, something to note, the CD on the Worgen's Darkflight ability has been reduced, but again, to see all the changes, please check out the patch notes here...

One thing they are doing to druids has me a little upset. Shifting forms will not longer break snare or rooting spells, UNLESS you are a healer and you have used talent points for this. I am a little saddened by this, but in all honesty, that was rather OP. The good thing is, my druid just happens to be a healer so I do not have to worry about it. :P

One of the major changes to the hunter is, They will now be able to auto shoot while moving. This is a huge change and I just might be playing my hunter a little more once the patch goes live, we shall see.

This patch is not going live this week and I am unsure as to when, but from what I hear it should be next week or the following one. So be ready for it. :)

Uploading A New Video

Alright, I am currently uploading a new video. This video will be showcasing some of my new changes to my videos and I talk a little about these changes. I do want to make mention that this is a part one to a two part video topic. I do have the 2nd part ready to be rendered so if anyone asks any question in this new video, please do not expect them to be answered right away.

One of the things I want to be doing is to make little challenges. I talked about that in my last post, but I want to delve a little deeper into my idea. I will ask you guys to do something in a video, kind of, challenge you to attempt something in game. Be it getting a simi hard to a very hard achievement, or doing something simple like get you guys to say something crazy in trade chat on your server. Might even be something like running an outlands or even a northrend instance solo. Whatever I come up with at the time.

Once you do it, I have to see it. So I expect you all to film it then upload it to your channel then post it as a response. The winner will get a shout out or some other non fabulous, free, prize like a spot in my box for an extended time, or anything I choose at random that will benefit you in some way. You can leave a comment here with any ideas you may have as a prize.

Do not fret, if you do not make videos that is fine. I will come up with some other secondary challenge for you tubers that do not make videos. Wacky comments, spam my comment box and the person with the most wins, getting other people to subscribe to my channel, whatever I come up with that does not involve making a video. I will come up with a prize for that as well.

Anyway that is all I have to talk about in this post, please be sure to bookmark this page, leave a comment, whatever you want to do. This blog is for you guys. :)

Have fun gaming

New Blog

Ok, so I have decided to start doing blogs. Not sure how well this will work out, but since I am not going to be doing twitter anymore, and I may stop doing the Facebook thing, I decided I would still like to keep my fans up to date on projects and videos I am currently working on.

So, a lot of changes are going to be made in regards to my videos. Things like, music being added to the videos in the background, I am also going to keep my videos to a 5-6 minute minimum as 10-13 minutes is just a tad too long and I know viewers have been complaining about the length. 

My next video will be up for people to view by morning so be looking for it. This one is a few seconds over the 6 minute mark and I explain much of the changes in that video. Also, I am going to start doing weekly themes/contests for my subscribers. Since my video uploads are not on a schedule, meaning that I do not post on a weekly basis exactly, Each theme or contest will run from one video to the next, sometimes one week, sometimes shorter and even still, sometimes longer, it just depends.

I am hoping these changes will not only bring in new subscribers, but will also help keep the ones I do have and make you all more interested in watching my videos.

Well, that is all I have to talk about today, I will try to update this blog often so be sure to follow me here. I am going to put the link to this blog in each video so it will be easy for you all to come back. :)
