Loot within swag: TCG cards that make you smile

Much to my surprise I find a loot card! A Thunderhead Hippogryph, pictured above from the Upper Deck site. Of course the cards are inserted completely random into the packs, and the bags are given out at random too – so no way I bribed someone a million billion dollars for this.
The card provides a little Hippogryph pet. Perfect for following me around when I go buy my Hippogryph mount next week.
You can also get a Riding Turtle and a Tabard of Flame from the cards. Odds are some people here got those. And probably more then a few with 15,000 fans here.
Just another cool, albeit random, thing this year at BlizzCon!

Not trying to be a nitpicker here but I smell hypocrisy... and truth.

Congratulations on the pet! There is nothing quite like the feeling of getting a loot card in the WOW TCG.

I pity you.

I can see where you are coming from, it can be silly to sink too much money in TCG games.
However, I did'nt go crazy and it was good when I got a loot card.
So thanks for your "pity", but save it for a more genuine case. Peace.

Personal attack or not, who frigging cares.
Typos piss anyone off. Just fix the damn mistake and be done with it.
I laugh at people who point them out, but I laugh even more at people pointing out people who are pointing them out.
I'm laughing at myself for being idiotic enough to even reply to this myself.
HA HA HA.
Happy now.

See, I'm laughing right now for replying to the wrong comment. ^_^
God, I love my Dyslexia!

Gratz on your swag, Adam.
Btw, it is spelled "Azeroth" and you really should know that one by now :P
Please, bro, work on getting spelling right for key in-game names etc. Add these words to your back-end spellchecker or to your own computer dictionary. It isn't tricky to set up and it is very disappointing when bloggers here are publishing articles without proof-reading. Not a personal attack - just some fair, constructive criticism/suggestion to help better the site :)
Anyway, looking forward to hearing reports from the ground - I'll be following on Directv today while attempting to do work. You lucky dogs you!

Grammar Nazi much?
(and if you want to be specific it should be "Heroes of Azeroth")
Wii Willi Oct 10th 2008 11:23AM
Not really but a site dedicated to the game that cannot even spell the name of the world it is set in correctly... well, that's poor form. If I were a Nazi I'd have just slammed into him and his post, however I provided a couple of sensible suggestions and even kept it light.
Oh but wait... I just pointed out a spelling error, you were the one correcting grammar. Pole up your arse much? :)

"Not a personal attack - just some fair, constructive criticism/suggestion to help better the site :)"
BTW, you've missed out a full stop at the end of that sentence. :P
Please work on getting your grammar right while writing comments, it's very disappointing when commenters are leaving comments without proof-reading.

Well, take a look at the tags "traiding-card-game" and "hippogrphy" if we're going to be pick! =)
Trilynne Oct 10th 2008 11:29AM
Dude, the guy was up early in the morning, give him a break! :P
Adam Holisky Oct 10th 2008 11:33AM
Thanks!
And sorry for the typo, going at light speed here trying to get all this cool stuff out. =)
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!
Angry Joe Oct 10th 2008 11:33AM
@myself: picky even, oh the irony!
Wii Willi Oct 10th 2008 11:35AM
Hahah actually I decided that it looked clunky with a period and a smiley face :P
Oh look, I did it again.
However, comments and commenters should not be what is reflective of good blog-content and can (and will) break all the rules of grammar and spelling. Heck, many people post in comments without even using caps and I don't think anyone (except you and your witlessness) would have an issue with that... but again, I say, surely someone who is blogging FOR the site, is a paid writer of the site and is representing the professional blogging of the site should be able to spell the name of the world correctly?
Thank you for your constructive opinion though... again, I was just offering a suggestion (one that I have sent in private emails to the site before and always with support and encouragement) and certainly not being a jerk about it.

@ Trilynne: I appreciate it was early in the morning. A spellchecker with those words in though would help these guys no end.
@ Adam: Appreciate the updates you guys will be throwing out during the day. Keep up the good work! :)
