WRUP: Bragging rights edition

Every weekend, the WoW.com asks you (and ourselves) a simple question: What are you playing? This week, our bloggers' answers are compiled by Michael Sacco, directed by Michael Sacco, and starring Michael Sacco.
It's Saturday again! I know this because Friday is the night my guild's 10-man progression group, uh, progresses. And as of last night, with the defeat of Mimiron on hard mode and Yogg-Saron with one Keeper assisting, we've progressed directly onto the backs of Rusted Proto-Drakes. This is the mount that I've wanted since I first laid eyes on it, and by gum, now I've got it. I'm so happy about it I'm probably going to tell you again in just a moment.
So, yeah, Friday's over! That means it's time for WRUP. Just what are our contributors up to? Check out the sampling below, replete with Twitter names where applicable, and mosey on past the jump if you're all about minutiae like the rest of the internet at large.
- Adam Holisky: (@adamholisky) Loremaster and equipping all my alts with flying skill. Hooray for the mount changes!
- Alex Ziebart: (@aziebart) Gearing up my Paladin alt a bit more through the new 5-man so I can skip stupid Naxxramas and go straight into Ulduar. Also leveling Turpen, getting Triumph badges on my main, and we finally got a post up on the new blog I'll be contributing to now and then. Busy busy.
- Robin Torres: (@cosmiclaurel) The plan to get to 80 before BlizzCon has evaporated into mist as I have to make a decision: Do I go feral just so that I can look at the pretty kitty? Instead, I am cultivating a pile o' Alliance alts (I know! Where's my Horde bias?) to support Itchee the Gnome Warlock (The Spawn's character). Yeah, I think part of my altitis problem is due to a profession addiction.
- Lisa Poisso: (@eMused) Sneaking in more levels on my new Rogue in "alternate" areas, so I don't get off track on quest lines with my usual groupmates. Ummm, what were those areas again?
- Eddie Carrington: (@Brigwyn) I'd like to get a few levels under my belt this weekend. Then work on the next segment in the "So you want to be a Hunter" guide.
- Daniel Whitcomb: I will probably run 5-man normal Coliseum over and over and over again, if only for the tank trinket. Also, now that my alts have Cold Weather flying, I may try to level a few of them, or at least get them through the Northrend Children's Week quests.
- Dan O'Halloran: Grouping with some casual friends to tackle either the new Argent Colisseum content or try for the 10-man VoA boss. Which spec for my Druid? Depends what my group is missing tonight.
- Zach Yonzon: (@battlemasters) - Writing up a guide and Overachiever for Isle of Conquest... which is the absolute best excuse to hit the Battleground. Not that I need an excuse, though. I also need some, uh, inspiration for my webcomic. Maybe hitting the trail over the weekend, too.
- Michael Sacco: (@mikesacco)- I just got One Light and Firefighter, so I'll be riding around aimlessly on my Rusted Proto-Drake for the next several weeks. Between constitutionals I'll be working on my novel and getting ready for the big move.
- Allison Robert: Heroics, heroics, heroics!
- Mark Turpin: (@The_T) Back from France, le vin et le fromage = tres bon, mais I haven't had a chance to play 3.2 yet --I also can't believe that Blizzard had the audacity to release a major content patch while I was on holiday... So I'll be making my way through the changes and hopefully stepping into the new 5 Man.
- Matthew Rossi: If I play at all it will most likely be alt grinding in the Trial of the Champion.
What about you crazy kids? What are you up to this weekend, on Azeroth or that other planet?

webcomic? that's a shock.
I'll be taking part in an RP event today on Wyrmrest. Lakeshire Militis vs The Orcs! DRIVE THEM FROM OUR LANDS.
And raiding. Lots of raiding

I am still working on getting my hunter (Dataflake on Runetotem) to level 80 (Currently 66).
I am in outlands with 2 more quests in Nagrand.
Then it's off to Blades Edge Mountains! Yeah!
Loving this flying mount, it makes questing so much fun. Sunday morning I hope to get a Ramps run in.
Agerath Aug 8th 2009 2:26PM
Might play a bit. Been on holiday and the new patch isn't really doing anything for me, so not really in the mood.
Carver Aug 8th 2009 2:37PM
I tamed Skoll. Possibly the first on my server. If not the first then definitely the second since it was 4:50am on Thursday and I'd been camping since Wednesday morning.

I'm hitting up Isle of Conquest and might go to Ulduar with the new guild. Before or after which, I will then start actually leveling up my druid. Finally, rest...
Alanid Aug 8th 2009 3:13PM
Now that I got the tanking trinket from normal ToCh I'll be running random heroics till I get so many emblems I won't be able to use them.
Maybe then I'll join a raiding guild that actually raids, without requiring you to raid like 4 nights a weeks... gets really annoying since I have other things to do than play WoW every night.
Allen Ibrahim Aug 8th 2009 4:22PM
Not that I need to anymore, but I plan tohop in 10 Naxx this Tuesday with my guild for the achievment. I don't think I can completely replace all my heroic items in TotC. But I'm also donig that and hopefully getting exalted with Sons of Hodir next week.

I'll be redesigning my UI for all of my toons - good times good times. Someone introduced me to Vuhdo and I fell in love so now everything must change!
Khanmora Aug 9th 2009 11:33AM
haha, I just finished pimping my UI because of Vuhdo so I could have the weekend to play in Isle of Conquest and (the now fun again) Warsong Gulch.
Rainee Sue Aug 8th 2009 4:49PM
At some point I need to fix my druid's UI. It went bananas when I installed Dominos and I never got around to fixing it, but now that she's a beautiful white bearcat I suddenly want to level her into a tank. So much for my poor little warrior!
Rai Aug 8th 2009 5:38PM
Raptor hatchling hunting. Many elude me yet, and will for some time to come...
Irem Aug 8th 2009 6:13PM
I'll be duoing Outland instances with my roommate (me = tankadin, her = Disc priest) to try to get us both to 70. She fell behind me by like three levels because of all the misc. Outland rep I've been working on...oops.
Also catering to my rogue's very tiny, frighteningly intelligent, possibly evil baby raptor's every raptor-whim.

My weekly PuG raid just downed Vezax and managed to get to Phase 2 on Yogg.
Brouck Aug 8th 2009 9:16PM
Much like Allison it will be heroic, heroic, heroic for my Paladin and my DK.... ToC is a great way to catch my DK up on the latest gear!!

Leveling via RAF. By the by, a newbish question but, what is that flying mount in the picture? It looks really incredible.
Michael Sacco Aug 9th 2009 12:03AM
The picture is me on my Rusted Proto-Drake, which is a reward for completing all of the hard mode encounters in 10-man Ulduar. The 25-man has an identical achievement, but the drake is blueish instead of reddish.
Anrusis Aug 9th 2009 12:13AM
Ah, thank you. Very cool looking mount.
