Last week, the awesome peeps in Friend or Foe on Madoran put together an ICC achievements run in ICC. At the end of the night, all achievements completed, everyone got a mount. Well, except for (@Psynister, @Fynralyl who didn’t already have it half completed) me.
You see, I did the half of my Once Bitten Twice Shy achievement I didn’t have (the not getting bitten part) to complement the half I’d completed previously, horde-side. But unlike other such achievements, it didn’t magically meld together. And thus, I came up one achievement half short of a mount. Psyn and Fyn got their first half of the achievement and would also need to go back again.
And so, this week, we went back to complete it. And thanks to a few FoF peeps who were on, and my #WoW twitter, Battletag and LJ buddies, I got the other half done tonight! And thus, as you can see above, I am the proud handler of a Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher mount.
Serious big thank yous go out to @psynister @wowcynwise @justdbear @fordarkness and @the_wrenz.
And yes, as always, I watched the cinematic all the way through at the end, and teared up over Bolvar’s sacrifice. He is, as always, my hero.
It was a nice way to cap off a week in World of Warcraft that also included slaying my old nemesis Staghelm, a.k.a. the druid formerly known as Archdruid McCrankipants.
Just another awesome week in Azeroth…
I have been MIA in the blog for a bit, but not due to a lack of playing. Mostly due to IRL being exceptionally busy due to having been interviewing for and then onboarding at an awesome new job. No time for any serious raiding or theory crafting, but I am still around these parts. So be sure to stop by and say hi here, on twitter or in game.
Cheers!
P.S. I am sure Wrenz and I could have duo’d the place, but that would have taken the nostalgia out of it for me. Because this raid was one of my all time favorite team effort experiences. It’s just not the same without at least 9 other raiders dancing and DPSing alongside… 🙂
DUDE, YAY! <3 you!
