Wax on. Wax off.

WoW Insider posted two great little macros for turning your graphics up, and I mean way up, and down, and I mean way down. Sometimes you want to see the forest and the trees, sometimes you want to see the curvature of the planet with little else in the way.  (There’s probably a pvp setting you could add here with maximum distance but minimum clutter.)

Anyway, as much a reference for me as anyone else who might like it, here’s the link: LINK.

 

Ah, summer!

 

It’s time to take the kids out.

Here’s the link to an excellent guide to this weeks in-game activity, Children’s Week.

I’ve picked up Whiskers the Rat on Mourneblade, and Peanut on Stormsoul. I need more pets.

(And it’s 1600 Lower City Rep for those interested in such things.)

Maybe it’ll be a one-eyed Willy this year. Hmm.

Edit:  Turns out the wife, Itarilde, wanted Willy.  Go figure.  So I, Greenclaw, was going to get Eggbert.  And clicked on Peanut instead.  Argh.  So Arcarius came and got Eggbert for himself.  I think it’ll be amusing to guard a resource in a BG, stealthed, cat in Prowl mode, with Eggbert running all over.  Solo attackers won’t know what to expect.  Maybe Greenclaw will get Whiskers as well.  (Black cat and white rat, surely a good match.)  Leaving Msaker to go collect Willy tomorrow.  And those Orphans behave like they’re blind most of the time.  Standing up there on the stairs at the Dark Portal.  For the second time.  Waiting, waiting.  I quip: “Maybe the parents were the lucky ones.”  Not nice, I know.  But could the kids be a little more attentive??
