What If..., SK Interview With Divine Inflame, Pure Hilarity On AJ, The Best Time For WoW Writers

University kicked in full time and I won't be able to sustain the one blog per day schedule with the resources I have. Lacanoz hasn't contacted me in a week and I apologize for the missing blog yesterday, but it will definitely not be the last one I'll miss. If you're interested in becoming a WoW writer it has never been a better time to do so. If my day had 60 hours, I could easily be working for 10 or more organisations now as they all approached me to write for them. I share this information not because I feel I'm special rather than state that with a little help and a little talent you can become a top writer for Eurospective and later on for various other big community sites. Eurospective is perfect to get used to the work, as you don't have a serious obligation towards me.

Look at me, I started three month ago. Since then I've won the blogging contest two times, have been on WoWverload and ArenaCast, I'm working for complexity and help with the coverage at Gotfrag and I've been approached by various other organisations. When I have to turn them down, they always ask if I have an alternative I would recommend and even got Lacanoz in contact with one of them, but he decided to refuse the offer. Everybody wants competent WoW writers and Eurospective is the best place to become one.


SK Interview with Divine Inflame


SK's own writer legend Michael "Zechs" Radford did the impossible. He not only interviewed the Divine - no that would be too easy and even I, the fat kid of blogging, managed that. The real challenge is to have him let you publish it.

Seriously though, I think Zechs does a great job at fishing for information and Inflame took the bait and pretty much unloaded what will be going on for him in the next couple of month.

"It’s a dreadful cliché, but Patrick 'Inflame' Costales is a man who needs no introduction to the WoW community. A winner of the first ever Blizzcon WoW tournament, amongst various other honours, Inflame is a true legend of the game. He has been touted by many as the best Warlock in the world and has even received the nickname “Divine Inflame” from one writer.

In his first ever interview he talks candidly about what WoW means to him, why he is considering retirement and why he believes that SK Gaming EUROPE will destroy all-comers at MLG next weekend."

Not only is mentioning Divine Inflame and referring to me an epic win, but the interview is really worth the read. You can check it out here on SK Gaming.


What if...

... every BG really awarded 25 Arena points instead of only the daily BG quest. In excitement, I wrote a fast blog yesterday and it was even published already until someone told me that Blizzard worded it poorly and I had to delete it.

Could this poor wording on the blue post be intentional though. What if Blizzard was only taunting people into submitting feedback on this change and then just backpedal and say "well that was never our intention".

They changed so many abilities to be more relevant or less overpowered in BGs all for the - excuse my anger - ******* worthless daily BG quest? I'm disappointed as they will miss out on a great opportunity. 25 Arena points per won BG and you have every good and interested Arena player running premades, at least while they are awake. Such an easy way to make battlegrounds worthwhile again and get us into the mood for rated BGs. Imaging going against a premade consisting of Caliph Kalimist, Lord Hydra, Divine Inflame and 4star general Another plus all those other great horde players on Cyclone, gives me goose bumps.

I seriously feel like I realized out that I forgot to buy condoms for prom night, or like when they forgot to put my toy into my fruit loops or like when my mom explained to me that I could never have a baby with Trig.

It's a shame, really. All those epic fights in vanilla which made me wait for (and I'm kidding you not here) two hours 5 times a day for month for an Arathi queue to pop, I saw them all coming home again. Now I have to wait and hope that rated BGs will revive this flair and I feel like botting out of spite.




Pure Hilarity on ArenaJunkies


No, it wasn't Affix trying to argue that Mages lack damage. That's hilarious as well, but a far greater source of joy emerged when this thread was created. Its topic? MS Paint pictures related to WoW Arena. While I laughed quite a bit about the Destro Lock one which you can't possibly miss, I decided to do one myself and field tested it #arenacast and nobody understood it. I have been reworking it and now it should be apparent enough for everyone with a decent memory to recall what he saw on streams (or so I hope, heh). Here it comes:




Feel free to do your own and submit them, I can watch those all day. If you aren't fed up with pictures yet, I hope you enjoy these pictures of my past.








In Season 3 I decided to roll Horde with a couple of friends on an RP-PvP server and it was... different. I've never played horde before and I had heard a couple of things but never really believed them until I saw this. This is where my name and this Gameriot account was created when a lovely young lady supposed this name to me, as it can prove quite challenging to find a suitable name for a Feral Tauren Druid on an RP server.







Soon after I decided horde wasn't my faction and went back to alliance. I wasn't satisfied with the amount of Arena going on on "Kult der Verdammten" as well and people who I've been raiding with since Vanilla picked me up in their PvP guild. These people should proven themselves as loyal companions on the joy ride has been WoW Arena up until today and they still are my team mates.

For today, Yiska out.
