It’s election day, so if you’re a U.S. citizen I really hope you’re registered to vote! Don’t forgot to get out there and exercise your rights. I’m all set to go with a cheat sheet on my votes for all the California and San Francisco propositions. So don’t forget, alright?
The Sword of Truth is an epic fantasy series by Terry Goodkind which started out promisingly with Wizard’s First Rule but descended into the usual cliches and never-ending sequelitis. That said, when I heard that they were making a TV series out of it, I was hopeful. I enjoy a good sword-and-sorcery tale. It seems as though they’ve gone the Xena route with it, however, and I’ve become nervous. Regardless, it premieres in syndication this weekend. I’ve set my TiVo for a season pass, apparently they have 22 episodes ready to go, so at the very least it might be some campy good entertainment. The show is called Legend of the Seeker - check your local listings to find when it’s on! Depending on how good/bad it is, I’ll have to tell you how it goes.
Hi folks! I’ve been kinda busy playing too much World of Warcraft for a change, sorry for the lack of updates! Patch 3.0.2 introduced us to the joys of achievements and between that and the second account I started (long story I’ll share another day), I’ve been putting in maybe a few extra hours gathering and exploring. Most recently I’ve been spending my energy trying to get as many non-combat pets as possible.
There’s no real point to them, they just follow you around and look cute. But they no longer take up space in your inventory and if you can get 50 of them, you get a special skunk pet! Woohoo!
Here’s a cute little rabbit - the Alliance can just buy him from a vendor, Horde have to get it from the cross-faction auction house.
it's a little bunny!
Right now, there’s a special event going on for Halloween (OMG, my first in-game Halloween was in 2005) and if you defeat the Headless Horseman you can win this adorable little fellow.
Mean Mr. Pumpkin
After all my efforts, I still need more pets!
15 to go...
Lastly, what fun is having these pets if you can’t use them? I wrote a little macro anyone can use to randomly summon any pet. Should work for all characters, as long as they have at least one pet!
/script CallCompanion("CRITTER", random(1, GetNumCompanions("CRITTER")))
Sort of a to-do list for life, I guess my rapidly approaching 30th birthday has me trying to figure out what are my must do things. The list is short right now, but I’ll add to it as I get inspired. Or you can feel free to make suggestions which I will feel free to ignore or not. 
The plans live here.
Got back from the TFU launch event a little while ago. It was a lot of fun! There were fans in homemade costumes as well as the 501st out in force. Lots of people from the development team were there as well as the actors who voiced the game. George Lucas showed up for a very special appearance. I’ll post more photos later, but here’s a few for now:
George Lucas, Sam Witwer and more
