Why Ryan.... WHY!?!?

So I went to the new Green Lantern movie starring my husband Ryan Reynolds..... I don't wanna talk about.  I can't talk about it..... I just..... can't.

Here's a pic of the stand-up poster in front of the theatre I saw it at.  That's gonna be the most interesting thing I can say about this movie...

Rage of the Firelands

Trailer for patch 4.2.  Nuff said.

Part of Your Raid

Last night my raid team, Flaming Legion with Pendragon of Proudmoore (PVE), were making some attempts on Heroic Atramedes and were getting Stonewalled left and right.  We just didn't have our A-game.  In between attempts though, I was joking relentlessly in a channel with some of my in-game friends and re-working lyrics to songs from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" because one of our healers is named Airielle.  What began as a simple joke turned into an obsession for me before bed and I spent most of the time just writing out lyrics to what I've affectionately named "Part of Your Raid". So this goes out to one of the best healers in the biz, and one of my good friends, Patrick.  He's got wicked sick heals on his resto druid, Airielle.  I've included a YouTube video of the instrumental track for the song.  Hope you like it.

Look at this buff, isn't it neat?
Mark of the wild from your head to your feet.
Wouldn't you think I'm a girl.
A girl who heals... Everything.

Look at this raid, void zones galore.
Step in the bad and you will hear me roar.
Don't look to me and assume:
"Sure.  She'll heal everything!"

I've got melee and casters a plenty.
I've got two tanks that play aggro whore.
You want more DPS?  We've got plenty.
But who cares?
No big deal.
QQ more.

I wanna be where the pro raiders are.
I wanna see, wanna see end-bosses.
Blackwing Descent which has...
What do you call him?  Oh! Nef.

Rolling rejuvs, you won't get too far.
Swiftmend's required for efflorescence.
Showing the raid that I'm....
What's that word again? Leet.

You get a DOT. I'll cast a HOT.
Clearcasting procs and I'll use a Regrowth.
Tranquility for you and me.
Part of your raid.

What would I give if I could heal only Heroics?
What gold I'd pay to always wear my Best in Slot?
Bet ya with PUGs, they'd love my mug.
Bet ya they'll always send me invites.
Resto Druid,
Heals so fluid,
Ready to mend.

And ready to heal through the mass AOE.
Tanks get my lifebloom, it stacks one, two, three.
Don't stand in fire or else you'll get,
What's the word? Burned!

So live and learn, wouldn't you love,
Love to get heals that are just unheard of?
Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be
Part of your raid!

DC Universe Reboot

Sooo, I'm not even going to try and pretend I truly understand nor comprehend what exactly is going on and why it is DC Comics seems to have given the big finger to their dedicated readers by rebooting their entire line-up of titles and starting each issue as a fresh #1.  I don't really read or follow DC outside of the random story like Batman's HUSH storyline (mostly because my comic book idol Jim Lee drew it).  I will however say that if Marvel ever pulled that same sh!t, I would be livid beyond words.  I think DC Comics was trying to do what Marvel did with the "Marve Ultimates" continuity but in a totally different and douche-laden kind of way.

In any event, this is not about me commenting or explaining that what they're doing... too much.  This is about me just sort of enjoying the artwork some of the creators have done to revamp some very classic heroes.  Looks very cool IMO.  I figured why not shared some of my favorites?  I apologize profusely to any avid DC Comics readers and hope you survive the horrible thing done to you.

Death Knight T12

So I wasn't a big fan of the Death Knight Tier 12 armor set until MMO-Champion actually did a data-mined video of it.  Now.... I'm totes loving it.  I think my initial misgivings stemmed from the fact that they only showed a static version with the red coloring.  SOOO not a fan of red.  If that's the heroic version of the tier set, I might be perfectly content with the base version.  Style before Substance.  What can I say?

X-Men : First Class

Guess what movie I saw tonight?

Holy Mutha of Gawd, it was amazing!  I completely blasted through the buffet I got at the concession stand because X-Men just grabbed hold of my attention from the first frame and never put it down.  Even the slower, more restrained, moments kept my eyes from blinking just out of sheer fear I would miss something juicy.  I appreciate how the movie incorporated some historical events into its storytelling, from Nazi Germany to the Cuban Missile Crisis, that grounded the plot in a very real way.  It was a level of storytelling that the other two X-Men movies couldn't even reach....

..... which by the way I only mean X1 and X2.... X3 shall never be spoken of.... EVER!...  sorry... still REALLY bitter about that one....

.... anyways.  If I had to levy any criticism I think it would be for Emma Frost.  I'm truly sorry but January Jones was so not a good pick.  It just seemed like they picked the blonde with the most smokin body and poured her into a skintight, white, pleather dominatrix outfit.  She could have.... nay... SHOULD HAVE smoldered more.

The highlight of the movie was most definitely the cameos.  I think a collective "Holy Sh!t" rang through the audience when they popped up.  I won't spoil it beyond saying for once, it wasn't Stan Lee.

Thank you to the creative team behind X-Men First Class for reinvigorating the mutants.  They were all but murdered by X3.... seriously.... stop talking about it....

.... so so sad.
