The Pali Project - Follow up

It's ended up being harder than I thought it was going to be.  I am already getting flac from some of the Iron Hand cult members that are finding humor in my project.  I was asked if I had already "hit the wall?"  The short answer is yes I did.  Level 5 hit the wall.  It's really distressing.

I can't even begin to describe how much I hate dying.  A level 5 Pali is super squishy.  Seems like anything I get close to kills me.  I try to approach it from the idea that it's a learning process but I am proving to be super impatient.  This goes against the grain and defeats the purpose of the project in the first place.  That not withstanding, I got frustrated with it right out of the gate.  You get used to going where you want when your a level 80 and having the tools to stay alive when you get there.  I know it's dumb, its one of those "is what it is" things I guess.

Thanksgiving went well.  I posted some video on my FB page http://www.facebook/snakevudo.  Nef really out did herself.  I am not sure I could be much more impressed.  Today is going to be hang around the house and work on this Linux cluster I have been trying to get going.  That'll be while my little murlock is sleeping of course.  I may try and get some game time in as well.  I wouldnt go out today for all the money in the world if I didnt have to.

Hope everyone had a great holiday.  Thanks for your attention.

The Pali Project

Snakevudo was born from my body today.  I have had this idea to create a Paladin since I started playing WOW.  A pali-tank actually.  No mean feat.  Tanking being especially stressful and full of PITA moments.  This project is part of a larger media campaign that I have in the works to promote myself and somethings that I have invented.  You can laugh if you want, everyone has thus far.  I'm OK with it.

I haven't really been at the controls lately.  I have become bored with my toon and the game.  Even the breaking hasn't done much to peak my interest.  Everyone around here is really stoked by the expansion though I find myself indifferent.  Part of the trouble is the fact that I didn't understand the old game...ergo, I can't appreciate the new...this according to Wolfsvudo but what does he know right?

That being the case, I thought I would take my time building Snake.  Learning the lore, reading the tutorials, trying to learn the art of being a proper tank. There are those that say it can't be done.  So what, going to do it anyway.

In the fullness of time I will do a live show.  Webcam probably.  It'll be fun :)

Shout out to Nefertiti for her herculean Thanksgiving Day cooking. You rock!
