WRUP: Brewfest is back edition

- Adam Holisky (@adamholisky): This weekend I'll be playing Civilization 4 and... well, nothing else.
- Alex Ziebart (@aziebart): That 'playing' part of WRUP will need to wait awhile. I have a lot of work to get caught up on, both here on WoW.com and elsewhere. When I do get some play time in, though? Probably Brewfest. Or Left 4 Dead to hype myself up for Crash Course and Left 4 Dead 2. Sometimes you just need to kill zombies, you know?
- Allison Robert: What am I playing? Well, it's not a game as such, but I suppose I could always sell the Allie Needs A New Computer game to Hasbro or whatever. Being unable to get through even a 5-man or a resource-intensive application without the laptop core temp going Hiroshima on my ass has gotten really, really old.
- C. Christian Moore (@TheArenaGuy): putting finishing touches on part II and III of Blood Sport for work-related stuff. Even though AV killed "capped" account twinking, I'm thinking about making a level 60 ret paladin twink -- he's already level 20! Full-enchanted BoA gear owns. As for non-WoWrelated stuff, I'm taking the wife out on a date tonight after picking up adult beverages for the weekend. (Anyone else here love Guinness?) Oh, and also watching the games on Sunday. Hooray for football season.
- Christian Belt (@Ihatewarlocks): I'm setting up a Twitter account! I'm branching out, trying to spread the warlock hate to wider audiences. Come visit!
- Daniel Whitcomb (@danielwhitcomb): I should only need one more day of Brewfest to get enough tokens for the Brewfest clothing. Then I'll get that achievement, sell them back and get the Brew of the Month Club and the Elekk pet. Alas, since I am a Death Knight, I'll still have to wait for Hallow's End for my Drake. Also, I am trying to get serious about running the heroic daily. Daddy needs some T9.
- Dominic Hobbs (@DMZduffry): I'll be looking to get some ilevel 258 gear into the guild and we have a date with Lady Onyxia. I also need to get an updated version of the DPS spreadsheet out so I'll be doing some of that as well. Having finally gotten my Violet Proto-Drake I would welcome an achievement break but Harvest Festival is starting so plenty of food related fun and frolics to be had. Yay!
- Eddie Carrington (@Brigwyn): I just found a new guild home. One that might actually make me stop deleting and re-rolling. So a shout out to the guys of <Concedo Nulli> on Khadgar! If you're on the server feel free to say "Hey!" As for actual WoW play? A recent someone has challenged me go back and try battlegrounds again. So I'm thinking I'll check out AV. If you happen to be in my battle group, Stormstrike, and notice a man eating ghostsabre called ElvistheCat running around, then you know there's at least one easy kill you can get. Otherwise, I'll be pushing my way through Dragonblight.
- Elizabeth Harper (@faience): Brewfest, Brewfest, and also possibly some Brewfest.
- Gregg Reece: Catching up on sleep, tanking Onyxia, and eating birthday cake.
- Lisa Poisso (@emused): Wrapping up the poor, nerfed Nesingwary quests in Nagrand and slipping over to Northrend with my Rogue.
- Mark Turpin (@The_T): I think I'll just be chilling in WoW with my freshly ding'd 80 paladin, I'm looking to exploit any kind groups and get LOTS of loot from instances that I shouldn't be in due to having rubbish gear :D. That and just see how fast I can fly coast to coast on my Violet Proto-Drake!
- Matt Low (@mattycus): Probably won't be playing anything. Why? Cause it's my birthday! Dwarf priests are party animals! Don't bother asking what I'll have done. I doubt I will remember.
- Matthew Rossi (@MatthewWRossi): Debating starting a journal comic because I frankly can't stand typing in my actual journal. Also probably trying to kill Ony some more, I want a pair of Deathbringers for my shammy.
- Mike Schramm (@mikeschramm): Finally back in Azeroth after being offline for about a week. Got a Green Proto-drake (finally!), so my next goal is a mounted squire, along with a guild Onyxia run.
- Robin Torres (@cosmiclaurel): Brew. Fest.
- Zach Yonzon (@battlemasters): We're reactivating my wife's account after her break from WoW to get her that Violet Proto-Drake. Fortunately, we've still got those Brewfest clothes from two years ago, which should make things a little easier. As for myself, I'll have to wait until Winter Veil to get my sweet ride. I'm also drawing even more cool stuff aside from The Battlemasters which hopefully all you guys will get to see sometime soon®.

I'll be in the garage trying to figure out why Chevrolet decided to put the spark plug wires in the black hole they call my engine bay. After that it's OSU football and some WoW time.

Happy birthday guys!

Hoping to get a few levels on my shammy, to make her only my second 70-or-over character ever, then maybe taking my rogue to heroic TOC-10, if They see fit to invite me.

I finally got my violet proto drake last night, so I can relax! I haven't been to Ony yet, so that is one definite this weekend. But I'm also making time to hit the Cider Festival that's kinda big where I live. I love autumn!

I have only started playing (again) recently, but I did finally get my Epic Flying skill. Now its time to get serious about that Violet drake! Now if only I was this serious about WoW a year ago...
Oh well, lol. Also, started Aion and loving it. Need some new tech to get the best experience though (Damn you WoW, you're easier then a drunk girl, you've ruined all other games that actually require a "good" computer for me!

We're going back in for another night of attempts on Yogg tonight (/cry). Outside WoW, I finally got around to installing the WC3 Battle Chest that I got from a friend not too long ago. I'm a few missions into the human campaign now, and am really enjoying it so far. I don't know what's more hysterical, Jaina's epic cleavage (to be fair it's kinda hard to go THIS IS A FEMALE on such tiny characters) or the fact that Arthas has the same Dramatically Flowing Golden Locks that he does in CoT:Strat.

Farming 5 man H TotC to try and get 2 black knights rondels. I love that blizzard realized that the only way to really get past item lvl 200 daggers(besides getting higher ratings in arena) was through raiding, which is something pvp mutilate rogues couldn't or didn't want to do.
I'm 1/2 on them so far, and I'm excited to actually do some decent damage on my way to 2k rating.
Thx again blizz.

as far as Brewfest goes, i'm disappointed that you have to join the Brew of the Month Club every year. i did last year and now all i need is the Autumnal Acorn Ale for the Bre of the Year achieve... so now it's looking a lot like i won't be able to get an extra 300 tickets for both the Pink Elekk and a fresh Brew Club membership.... and all this because the achievements were put in long after the Ale was gone.
Kirkules Sep 26th 2009 5:02PM
Not so. Achievements came in with Patch 3.0.2 on October 14th. So for anyone who drank the Autumnal Acorn Ale after that patch, they got it for the achievement. I did and have since completed the drink all 12 brews achievement.

Just dinged 80 this week on my first Horde char, 3 levels to go on my first Alliance. I keep missing the XP buff at Brewfest (10% + 5% Wintergrasp!). T_T
Other than that, getting drunk, shouting at those crappy rams until I'm thoroughly pissed off, then heading out to the Nethermines and killing everyone in there.
Jrinswand Sep 26th 2009 12:40PM
Ah, Brewfest. I started playing WOW last year during Brewfest. I have subsequently ceased playing the game, but man, there sure have a been a TON of changes to the game since this time last year.
Cam Sep 26th 2009 12:49PM
Finishing "The lost Symbol" by Dan Brown (100 pages left), in wow i'll be running a few heroics and do a Onyxia raid. Other that that i might level up my l'il baby paladin.
Erik Sep 26th 2009 1:11PM
working on gathering mats to craft Merlin's Robe for my warlock.

I'm thinking of trying Fallen Earth.
I think I've burnt out on WoW for the moment, and would like the post-apoc look of FE.
I'll probably return to WoW at some point, even if just to pick up the whelping pet.
Dreyja Sep 26th 2009 3:50PM
Curse you Shramm! I've been farming those eggs for SO LONG! ;)
Really, gratz. I know 3 people who got theirs in the first 2 or 3 eggs. It's a conspiracy I tells ya!
slythwolf Sep 27th 2009 2:31AM
I do want the drake, it's true, but to be honest, the main reason I haunt the Brewfest grounds is that I'm completely addicted to ram racing. It's the most fun I've had in a long time.
