Another monday! ^_^

I ran across this commercial yesterday, and I wanted to share with y'all. ;)






I actually laughed so hard I almost cried! ^

As for an update, I really haven't been doing much... besides playing video games, of course! ;)

I'm actually pretty excited about the new WoW expansion coming out on Nov 13th. Wo0t W0ot ^_^
Blizzard has actually planned out some pretty awesome world events to lead us into the new continent Northrend.
We had the original Halloween event, which includes trick or treating every hour, and fighting the Headless Horseman in the Scarlet Monasteries for some nice drops!
Without warning, a mysterious plague broke out in Azeroth, and npc healers from the Argent Dawn showed up at every city to help. This plague first took 10 minutes to completely 'infect' you, and if you did not seek a healer it would turn you into a ... zombie O_o

There was no cure, so once you turned into a zombie you could only return to your normal state by dying. Once you had turned you could attack anyone regardless of faction, and your own city regarded you as an enemy.
( Guards would attack you, and even your own faction could attack and kill you, or you could turn them. )
Zombies were pretty slow, which made it very easy to get away without being infected, but blizzard had a trick up their sleeve!
By the second day, this disease had begun to mutate, and you only had 5 minutes to find a healer. The healers were slowly disappearing, which was making it harder to find a cure in time. As the day wore on, full fledged attacks happened in the middle of cities, and you could no longer go afk - Away from keyboard without dying or turning before you returned.
The disease was spread faster as armies of zombies roamed everywhere, and each hit you took from a zombie turned you faster. ( I believe each hit took 30+ seconds off your timer to find a cure, and if you were hit by a large number they could and would turn you almost instantly )
There was also a large number of crates that suspiciously ended up in every city with cockroaches that continued to spread the disease.

By day three, it was complete and total chaos. Cities were war zones, and the healers were all but gone, which left only 3 classes that could cleanse your disease. Priests, shaman, and paladins, but the resist rate was really high so there were times you couldn't be cured before you turned. I actually spent a good amount of time in Orgrimmar trying to help cure and kill zombies.
There was a pretty small group of us, probably a good 6 or 7, but at times we fought groups of twenty or more zombies.
The cure timer had dropped down to 1 minute, and there weren't any Argent dawn healers around. I was on my priest, so I spent a good deal of time trying to cure those around me. We actually had a 'strong house' set up for those who wanted to help, and we cured, fought, healed, and resurrected players. It was actually a lot of fun :)

The funniest thing about this event is that Foxnews actually wrote an article about it. ;)
