WoW's Version of Mystery Science Theater 3K
Cool site number two, for the day. It's called Project Lore. It's a site made by five guys and they are making a string of "episodes," ....... narrated videos of playing WoW, such as Episode 4.1 Underbog. This vid shows their five toons doing the instance Underbog. Funny outtakes that cut to the room where the guys are playing at their computers (complete with monitors that have better paint jobs than most muscle cars) are a fun diversion from the work of the dungeon, but when they are fighting in UB, it sometimes shows a small picture of four of them (one in each corner) playing while the rest of the screen is in the dungeon. The sound that plays is the actual guys talking as they kill the mobs........ arguing, cussing, compliments and wisecracks are all heard and most are pretty funny. This is why it kind of reminds me of MST3K. The good humor and comical comments run along the same vein as the old show, and give you the same feeling......like you are there and a part of it, instead of just a spectator.
There is one introduction vid and 16 episodes: 3 for Hellfire Ramparts, 4 for Slave Pens, 5 for Mechnar, and 4 so far for Underbog. All of them are worth watching, if for nothing other than the comedy. (you will definitely find them more humorous if you have done these dungeons as many times as I have) You will also find some useful tips and information about actually doing the dungeons and playing the game in general. Laugh while you learn, that's a win/win situation.
The site also has some pretty nice guides for the classes, professions and dungeons. Though the information in them is pretty basic, they are fairly complete and I did learn a few things from reading them. I noticed they are looking for more guides and asked for any guide authors that are interested, to get in touch with them.
This is a new and innovative take on WoW.....something you don't really see all that often, any more. Definitely worth checking out !

Your Character, Immoralized !
Well, it has been a week of discovery. Today, in my internet travels, I ran across a rather cool site called FingerPrints.com. This site will make a 3D statue of your WoW toon in exact detail. From what I understand, when this site first opened, they were so swamped with orders, that they did not have the resources to fill them all, so they have gone to a lottery system and you can enter, and if you get chosen, they will immortalized your toon for a mere $125 + SH.
It's a pretty interesting site, you might want to check out just for the heck of it :)
More Later,

Off Topic - Blingo
I ran across a rather cool thing today during my travels on the internet. There is a search engine called Blingo that is run by our old buddies at Publishers Clearing House. Every time you do a search on Blingo, you have a chance to win a prize. Now, the prizes are not new Lamborghini's (much to my disappointment) but they do give away gift certificates to Amazon (is there ANYONE on the planet that they are not affiliated with ??) or cash or other stuff that most folks find useful. Since you use search engines every day to look things up, why not use one that gives away prizes ?
Anyway, I thought it was worth mentioning, since it's free to register. :)
Here's a link for you:

A Few Patterns that Sell Well
Sorry to be MIA for so long, but we had a tree to fall on our house and the contractors have been here working and painting and making a huge mess, so I have had very little time for what *I* want to do. :(
Today I have a couple shorties for you, before dinner. First, some recipes you can pick up in Shat City and sell on the AH to make a quick few gold. The first one is in the Lower City, behind the Aldor Bank, on the lowest tier of the birdmen treehouse. If you have to go on a ground mount, then you go up the bridge that takes you to the highest tier then go around and go down the stairs to get to the lowest tier. If you can fly, just fly up. It is the recipe for Primal Might Transmute and it costs 8 gold. Depending on your server, you can resell it for 12 to 30 gold in the AH.
The other one is the recipe (schematic) for Fused Wiring, available from a engineering supply vendor on the other side of the Lower City (behind the Scryer bank) by the tailor trainers, fruit vendor and reagents guy. You can also get this recipe from a goblin engineer supplier in Everlook, Winterspring. If you are having trouble finding it in his inventory, you can kill him, and when he respawns he will have it (and usually a few others at well) but you will lose some rep by doing this.
These are both limited supply (1) recipe, so if you don't see it, then keep checking back, it will respawn, but unfortunately, you can only buy one. I make it a point to pick up both, every time I am in that neighborhood on business.
There is one other pattern that always sells for quite a bit of gold, even tho it is a lower level, and that is the pattern for Nightscape Shoulders. This is available for the Alliance, in the Hinterlands in the bunker type building by the mailbox. In one of the side rooms, that is off the main lower level room, there is a leatherworking supplier that sells a limited quantity (1) of this shoulders pattern. I was not going to mention it, since I have never much luck getting it. I would say only 1 out of every 5 times I have looked for it, I have found it there. I am not sure if it just has a really long spawn rate, or what, but more times than not, it's not there.
The Horde can get this pattern in Camp Mojache, Feralas from the leatherworking supplier there, and the success rate is much better. The vendor is in the biggest tent.
This pattern is really is worth looking for if you have a leather worker, since the mats are cheap and easy to get. The shoulders sell in the AH for anywhere from 3 to 12 gold, and they always sell the first time, because the stats are agility and stam......a popular combo for many classes. The pattern itself sells for 10 to 49 gold in the AH.
Time for dinner, so that's all for today !

Cooking Murlocs For Real ! I Found a WoW Cookbook !
In my travels on the internet, today I came across something truly original. Not another leveling guide, or "Make 1000 gold a day" gold making guide, I found a cookbook......that has real recipes in it for the food you make in WoW. It's called The Original and Totally Unofficial Tauren Chef Cookbook. (they also have a few other recipes from other games like Eve Online) Yep, you can now make all those delectable things you have used to level your cooking, on all your toons like Gooey Spider Cake, Roast Raptor and Murloc Fin Soup.
But what if I can't cook, you may be saying. Well, this cookbook delivers in clear, simple and easy terms, so even if you burn water, you should be able to make all your WoW Favorites. Image having a Warcraft themed party, inviting your WoW buddies and serving them a full three course dinner of:

- Nightfin Soup
- Beer Basted Boar Ribs
- Sand Pear Pie
YUMMY ! You could even have appetizers such as:
- Buzzard Bites
- Crab Cakes
- Goblin Deviled Clams
I am sure it would be a total hoot, and something that would be talked about for a long time afterwards
You can even join the Tauren Chef's Newsletter and get a Free Mini cookbook. I joined because I love to cook and I love WoW.....so what could be better ? It's going to be a long time before I run out of things to have for dinner, now. :)
Check out the site, it's a lot of fun to read, even if you don't like to cook: The Tauren Chef
Cheers,
Jade
