My 1337 is showing-Let's Play World of Warcraft

[Mike_the_Mystic]

I enjoy World of Warcraft, I enjoy reading Let's Play. So I'll put them together!!:smallbiggrin:

SOOOOO First thing's first, What Race/Class Combination do you want?
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012610_183431.jpg

[Starbuck_II]

Warlock! I want some demon summoning.

[Dust]

I say Dwarf Paladin named Fistbeard.

[Flickerdart]

I say Dwarf Paladin named Fistbeard.
This.

Also, please to be making screenshots smaller. You really don't need anything above 800x600 and your enormous images stretch my screen.

[nooblade]

Having never played WoW, I think I will be looking forward to reading this.


Dorf Paladin Fistbeard requires a full name of Urist K. McFistbeard, of the clan McFistbeard.

[Gamerlord]

God I hate this game.

But, when I did play it, I found an undead warrior quite fun.
Horde rule, alliance stink!

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Horde rule, alliance stink!

Except Dwarves, as they are uber incarnate.
So the votes are:
1 Warlock, no race
2 Dwarf Paladin
1 Undead Warrior

[Emong]

Gnome Warlock. You know you want to.

[Kish]

Orc shaman. (Or orc warlock, if I can get Starbuck to add his vote for that. :smalltongue:)

[Domochevsky]

Bloodelf Bimbo ...uh, i mean Hunter!

What a curious choice for a LP. :smallsmile:

Edit: incidentally... you sure you're up for the length of this? There's quite some content to cover. :smallwink:

[Gorgondantess]

I'll vote for dwarf paladin, if only to get fistbeard running around in WoW. Pity they don't have a monk class.:smallcool:

[SlyGuyMcFly]

I say Dwarf Paladin named Fistbeard.

This. So, so this.

[Maximum Zersk]

Orks Orcs. 'Nuff said.

FOR THE HORDE!!!!

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Bloodelf Bimbo ...uh, i mean Hunter!

What a curious choice for a LP. :smallsmile:

Edit: incidentally... you sure you're up for the length of this? There's quite some content to cover. :smallwink:

Let's just say that income tax+nothing better to spend money on=lot of time on my hands.

And as for the votes thus far, we have:
2 for warlock (1 Unknown, 1 Gnome)
5 for Dwarf Paladin
1 for Undead Warrior
1 for Blood Elf Hunter
1 for Orc Shaman or Warlock
And 1 for...Orc...

Looks like odds are in favor of Dwarf Paladin, but I'll give another few minutes before I start...

[The Dark Fiddler]

Wait for Cataclysm and play the Werewolf things.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Worgen? Meh, Goblins kick their tails. And then literally pawn them!:smallwink:

[arguskos]

Dwarf Paladin, name of Fistbeard Beardfist, because that's the original dammit, and Pharaoh would want it that way. :smallamused:

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Indeed! And the winner is...Drumroll please...DWARF PALADIN!!!!

And thus began the story of Urist McFistbeard, of Clan McFistbeard...

[Makensha]

Okay, seriously absolutely no reason to use full size pictures. Might want to reduce the size by 25% to 40%.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Sorry, that's something I don't how to do. So if you can tell me how, that'd be swell.:smallsmile:

[The Dark Fiddler]

If you use Photobucket, there's a resize option somewhere in there.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Ahh, I see. I usually use filesmelt, which doesn't have that option.

[tyckspoon]

You can also load them to.. pretty much any image editor at all (Paint will do it, let alone anything with real functionality) and resize them before you upload them.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Is that better?

[Domochevsky]

Hmyes, that's a pretty good size. (assuming you also spoiler them, making the sidescrolling optional) :smallsmile:

Btw, this will be a Screenshot LP, i take it?

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Most-likely. :)

[Lord Herman]

I don't play World of Warcraft myself, but I think I'll follow this LP. Besides, I'm dying to know how WoW will handle Urist's inevitable death by either magma, carp, or thermonuclear catsplosion.

[Athaniar]

Question: is this a "normal", Player vs Player, or Roleplaying server (or perhaps even an RPPvP)? Also, I support the choice of character.

[Grimlock]

Okay, so I missed all the beginning part of this, although I would too have voted for the mighty McFistbeard...so no loss there!

And having never played WoW am interested to see how it pans out!

Dwarven Paladin-ing ahoy!

[Dust]

I hope he was put on a Roleplay PVP server.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Part One: And Knowing is Half the Battle!

http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133136.png
Whatever, yer nothin' but a disembodied voice, ye know nothin aboot dwarves.
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133142.png
I'm the narrator, I know more about dwarves than you do!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133152.png
Er, no!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133208.png
Yes I do!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133216.png
And how do you figure that?
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133220.png
Because I looked on WoW Wiki! Your number one source of WoW Information!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133225.png
Whatever...


Well ello thar ya blunderin' humie gits! Oi'm the Loight'-Wieldin', hammar slammin', beer drinkin' sunofagun that's the star of this show! And because ye don't have anythin' better ta do, yer sittin here and listenin' ta me!

So back in the day, oi started in coldridge valley, a steamin' netherhole if there ever was one! Wolves, Troggs, and Trolls run rampant, rippin' apart those poor gnomes loik tissue! Their screams still keep me up at noight, the demented cries of dying gnomes as they were thrown into vats of ichor by the Trolls, speaking in Faux Caribbean tones, rambling on aboot their "mojo" whatever the nether that stuff is!

But worse still were the boars. Those beady, black eyes that stare into yer soul! Those razor-sharp tusks that could tear a man apart in seconds! The horrendous, bloodcurtling snort that they screamed as they tore inta ya. And there were MILLIONS OF THEM! Ye couldn't go two steps without seein' one just starin' ya down, waitin' fer ya to make one false move befer they'd start chargin. Oi could take out a bear or wolf with relative ease, but a boar, they scare the bloody nether outa me!

So let's start this show, heh? PASS ME A DRINK BAR TENDER!!!


http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_133449.png

Hullo there!
Heya, what do ya want fer me?
Oi'm mighty hungry, and oi'm hankerin' fer some wolf meat. Luckily, there's plenty of them right down there.
So All oi Have ta do is kill wolves and return their meat ta ya?
Yep!
Well let me think...

http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_134215.png
WOO HOO!!! I AM MCFISTBEARD, DESTROYER OF WOLVES!!!!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/WoWScrnShot_012710_134616.png

Here's yer meat!
Great, now take these mail gloves.
Thank ye!
Yeah, whatever, too busy drinkin'.
Lucky basterd!
Heh, well, anyway here's a holy rune.
Wait...why do ye have my mail?
Ask the other dwarf with a glowing exclamation point. Anyway, its a summons.
A summons! Oh, I knew I shouldn't've fondled that night elf at the train station...
I don't think its that kind of summons...
Oh, er, yeah, roight...hehe...
Thank ye fer training me, now I can buff everyone's armor! Except, its not too useful later on if oi'm, oh, say a Retribution Paladin...
Don't care, go kill things so you can pay me more fer training. Need. More. BOOZE!
Okay! :D

Mr. Chilly stares deeply at the sleeping dwarf.
All is going according to plan, master... It mutters to someone, someone probably in its head...


More tomorrow!:smallwink:

[Xefas]

The screenshot posted of Fistbeard says he's on the 'Grizzly Hills' server. That is a Normal Server with a High Population.

Meh, I changed it to an RPVP Server!:smallcool:

More to Come in a Second!

[Kish]

The voice is right, you know.

[Domochevsky]

Protip: The screenshots are too big again and i didn't even find the text between them on the first scroll-over. Additional space may be usefull. :smallwink:

[Castaras]

Make the screenshots a LOT smaller please. Like...640 by 480 would be cool, but smaller than that would be cool also. Too much screen stretching! :smalleek:

[Hunter Noventa]

And here I wanted to vote for Sexy Draenei Shaman Babe. Fistbeard works equally well.I haven't touched WoW in months. It's not even installed on my PC anymore. but this ought ot be amusing once you rein in the screenshots.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Takes an eternity for photoshop to start up, but I'm trying!

Edit: Almost finished, I'll have it up in no time!

[Athaniar]

...Or just use Paint.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Yeah that's what I did.:smallfrown:

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Eeet is ready!

[The Glyphstone]

Mr. Chilly is my favorite character.

I suggest a subplot involving the different minipets McFistbeard collects, each plotting his demise for their own nefarious reasons but always foiled by random chance or each other's conflicting schemes.

[Dust]

That was awesome.

[GenPol]

Troll Shaman, but really troll anything!!! I've only played the free trial, but I think that Trolls need some respect here. =D

[Foryn Gilnith]

OP, I haven't seen drunken stereotypical dwarves played straight in detail for a surprisingly long time. This should be noteworthy.


troll anything!!!

Son, I am disappoint.

[Grimlock]

Am loving McFistbeard's voice!

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Your Regularly Scheduled Let's Play will continue next week due to a death in the family.

[Lord Herman]

I'm very sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family. :smallfrown:

I have 9 level 80 toons, all horde on Azjol-Nerub.

Fizzlock (Orc, Warlock)
Fizzappa (Troll, Warrior)
Fizzical (Blood Elf, Mage)

Granted, I have been playing for over 4 years, and for some odd reason, I still find the game fun....

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Well, after about five or six months of...stuff happening, I am pleased to announce that the adventures of Fistbeard will continue in a few short hours. And let's just say that he's been sleeping all this time. Through the worst events in Azeroth's history. A...Cataclysm, if you will...

[Domochevsky]

I think it will take a bit of time for you to encounter any sorts of world shaking events, given your current progress. :smallbiggrin:

(Damn Stuff, always happening...)

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Well, seeing how I'm in a beta for something or rather, some world shaking events are happening all around me...
