I’m just one more cooking daily and one more fishing daily away from Exalted with the Kirin Tor! And it so happens will have gotten there purely from cooking and fishing (at least I think so - I don’t recall doing any other quests that give Kirin Tor rep, though I may have just forgotten).
That will also be my 10th Exalted reputation 
Geez… this thread is cooking up to page 99.
Thank you! I really appreciate all of the warm regards.
Okay, so is somebody gonna let y’all’s ol’ pal Quasi in on Randy’s podcasts and provide a linky?
Thanks and hope to hear you soon, Randy!

FH to the rescue! Thanks, Doll!

PS: God, I MISS my WoW.
PPS: Bookmarked the site, and plan to settle in for some very good WoW-Talk!
Page numbers really don’t mean anything for threads, you know. You can set the number of threads per page in your user control panel, so (for example) this may be 99 pages for you, but its 25 pages for me.
I see you already got the link. If you happen to be using iTunes, you can just search for “The Instance” and set it to auto-load. Some of Randy’s podcasts are all-WoW and some of them discuss other things–so if you are looking for WoW and get something else, just try another episode.
I predict a race for the 5000th post.
3,000 quests and “The Seeker”: Check.
Loremaster of Kalimdor: Check.
Terrokar, BEdge, Nagrand, SMV: Check.
All three Nessingwary quest chains: Check.
Netherstorm: 65 quests to go, and then… Loremaster!
You’d think. But there’s always the one guy who doesn’t pay attention, or doesn’t know how to figure out what group he’s in. (I speak from experience on using groups to divide people for the Thad minibosses or to indicate what vehicles they’ll be riding for FL.)
I love the magic words, “Please clear vent.” Although as tanks, they should damn well know better.
I use BigWigs (always have, and probably always will), and this is one of the few things I feel like I actually miss out on. BW uses non-verbal sound cues (dings, dongs, bonks, bams…).
Reason #27 I fucking hate Night Elf zones.
Aw, did somebody get their face eaten by a spider? 
Haven’t had a chance to try the new guy yet, but we’ve done Emalon, and from what I hear the new boss is easier. The problem with VoA is that it’s such a fucking crapshoot: you don’t know which tier piece is going to drop, or for what class, or for what spec of that class.
Woohoo! Grats.
Well done, sir! /salute
I got mine before they actually made it useful, so I keep forgetting it actually does something now, and it just sits in my bank with the rest of my Cooking outfit. My bags are pretty crammed full as-is. I do carry my fishing hat with me, though (for the lure), so maybe I could swap that out, since I really only use it when the dailly is in the Sewers.
Excellent! Those really are handy for the rep grind, aren’t they? I don’t think I spent much time at all wearing the Penis Tabard–got almost all of my rep through those dailies, too.
Yeah, but all the **cool **kids display 50 posts per page.
It’s amazing how quickly mob XP adds up. I was full up on rested XP at the beginning of the weekend, and through much slaughter in Northrend I finally managed to make it back to purple. Having played with my Cat Form Druid for the last couple of weeks, and not having played with my now-70 Pally for a couple months, I forgot how much of an AOE monster Pallies are, especially in crowds of Undead. And he’s not even specced Prot. I’m thinking about going Prot, but I loves me my Divine Storm.
You’d think that if they were supposed to be running around in trees, they’d be built better for it…longer arms, claws, a prehensile tail, smaller boobs…but nooooo…the men look like mutant aliens from the planet Gymnasia and the women look like mutant aliens from the planet Bouncy-Bouncy.
It’s just…disconcerting to supposedly be a major huge hero of the Alliance, killer of Onyxia and Blackwing, savior of Kalimdor, etc etc etc, and end up, if you’re idle for more than about 30 seconds, bouncing up and down and clapping like you haven’t got the brains the Titans gave your average cheerleader.
This. This times so many infinities. I could kiss you on the mouth. Except I’m laughing too hard.
Funny you should say that. My ex and I always called the night elf males gorillas, because their arms are freaking long. And I never really noticed the night elf women having overly large chests. Frankly everyone except the dwarves and draenei seem to be pretty light up top, unless that’s just me being desensitized to fantasy settings. 
See, and **I **think that the female toons are pretty uniformly skinny and breasty. Not, like, 32 DDD breasty, but still on the larger end of things, especially considering that their body fat percentages probably go into the impossible negatives.
When I saw a photo of the people who make up the Blizz creative/design team, let’s just say I was not shocked to see that they were 100% male and almost 100% white.
Yup, plus they were the raid leaders, so I wouldn’t know when the chatting would stop and the real talk would start. And a lot of the chat is related to WoW-related matters, so it’s even harder to tell.
The “I better turn on game audio” comment explains a lot, though - how they can talk away that much. No listening to the game audio/addon warnings, etc., as those are turned down so they can listen to constant chat.
(of course, if your computer and Internet connection can handle WoW, they can definitely handle SDMB at 200 posts/page)
I’m not happy with most of the female models in WoW. Even the humans with those monstrous legs.
The undead females crack me up. Face falling apart? Check. Exposed bones on limbs? Check. Absolutely defect-free boobs? Check.
The one that bothers me most, though, is probably the female tauren. What’s with the two boobs up high on the chest. There should be four of them, and down lower!
The new boss is…sort of easier. If you’ve got decent tanks, good healers, and a raid that knows how to stay the hell out of fire, he’s easy. The only real issues are staying out of fires (so tank him off the big glowy yellow thing in the middle of the floor), keeping the tanks alive during Meteor Fists, and making sure everybody’s topped off before he does his whirly fire-breath thing, since it hits everybody hard and can’t be avoided.
I’m proud of myself–my alt DK tank, who I’ve been working hard lately to get him geared and me skilled, successfully tanked Koralon-10 in a PUG. Not a guild run where I know I could count on the healers and the other tank–a PUG. 
Of course, nothing dropped for me (it was mage tier–that my mage main DOESN’T have yet (cry)) but at least I got a couple of Triumph badges and a whole truckload of confidence in my tanking abilities.
Looking at the 3D models, I can see what you mean. I think it’s the fact that their ribcages appear to be a lot larger than life that throws me. The cup sizes are definitely up there, though.
Still, I don’t really think night elf women are all that attractive. They’re proportioned weirdly, they’ve got monkey arms just like the guys, and the weird designs on the faces are just offputting. I find the Tauren women more attractive, frankly. cough I’m a little concerned what it says about me that I prefer the hooved and horned races. :o
Furry!
Or maybe I just hate rogues that much.
