Walk Like a Woman, Fight Like a Man

  • Mood: Amused
  • Listening to: Beep - The Pussycat Dolls
  • Playing: World of Warcraft
I have a new motto: "Walk like a woman, fight like a man."

Such a heart-wrenching story I have for you, about two friends torn apart by the vanity of one.

Okay, that was dramatic. So this may be a little confusing if you don't play World of Warcraft, or if you don't know anything about it, so just try to keep up :-P

Yes, I've started playing WoW, and I am not ashamed. Mostly because I was a die-hard WarCraft fan to begin with, so shut up. I have a right to this. Its my inheritance. Also my fiance has played it for literally as long as we've been together.

Any way. The first character I made was a male Tauren. I didn't like playing a male though, so I made a female Tauren because the Tauren female was the only female that didn't look weird. Well, I mean, she's a cow, so of course she looks weird. She's suppose to look weird. When I pick a character that's supposedly one of the "sexier" races and her hands are as long as her forearms that's... uh... weird. I know, I know, I'm picky.

Any way I wanted an Alliance character as well, and I decided a female Draenei would do. I chose warrior as my class and I was fairly happy with her. I nick named her "goat girl" even though her name was Lilyn. (Draenei have horns and hooves like goats). She was kind of like a cute little pet to me.

And then... oh, that fateful day. Well, hour. Okay fateful half hour or less because this is like one of the first quests you get.

Here we go to kill some "vile mutations" or what not. We find one. We boldly attack and, what does she do? Prances. Like, for real - when we were walking around the crash site earlier and she was prancing, I was all like, yeah, you go girl, all the male Draenei gone be fallin' all over you. That's my girl!

Buy seriously, who the hell is concerned with prancing like a loopy headed fool trying to impress a man while they slam their bastard sword into the slimy head of a sickly mutation? I mean, really. Man up. I was embarrassed. You act like that, you don't need a sword. Learn to prioritize, woman!

Okay, so actually I was just being weirded out by the fact the only female character I could find who looked like me had horns and hooves. =/ I don't know what that says about me, but it doesn't seem like a good thing.

So I deleted her.

Yeah... I'm ashamed by alot of the WoW community... they act like they don't even know about Warcraft I, II, or III *cries*

I want to kill them... at least on the RP severs I know people who ACTUALLY have heard of the Lore

I liked all three of them like, got raised on the blizzard games lol, and I just loved the Lore behind it all, then some of it changed when they moved into WoW xD

Yeah xD well I was a bit too young too, but my dad had the games lol

Speaking of Blizzard games and lore, I always thought Diablo II did an injustice to the awesome story and feel of the originally Diablo. There was always something haunting and creepy about Diablo, and when you walked into hell it was like your character was actually walking into hell. There was never anything creepy to me about Diablo II, just weird. o-O;

And, that's off-topic since we were talking about Warcraft, but you just reminded me. ^^

um... Well I've looked into the Lore of Diablo alot and I think the 2nd game was very justified to it, though obviously it does make a little bit of lacking sense with all three of the Prime evils dead. But I think its more that they are unable to manifest themselves in Sanctuary again.

Yeah that was the problem with D2 I'll give you that, it did need to be creepier, but the Classes worked, the Lore to it was correct. They could have made it scarier aye, but I think the videos did that job reasonably well, looking at them now they look old, same with the first game.

Have you read any of the books for Diablo? cause I spent years reading the ones that came with the first game, and even spent months searching the web for a copy of them lol.

But its still lore and its still Blizzard lol.

I don't suppose it was so much the lore, as the fact the first game left an impression on me of this dark, eerie place where hell was right under your feet (literally). It reminded me a lot of old Catholicism stuff, and the pictures you see of demons, and stained glass windows, and just that eerie feeling of demons and such.

Then in the next game, the world seemed a lot like an Indiana Jones movie or something.

And no, I've never read any of the books, although I'm not sure why.

The book have a darker air a times than the first game, and it sometimes gives the 2nd a darker side if you know the lore. But yeah the 2nd wasn't as dark, while it was a better game for the amount it gave you the first was a more in depth one.

I did like the monastery from the 2nd one, it brought back some of the 1st, same with the durance of Hate from the 3rd act.

If you want i could send you the Ebook of a couple or something, Richard A Karnak is the best writer of them that does the lore.
