I blogged for several years before I ever started up KMA. Today, I was browsing through those old posts today for something else (a post about respect in marriage, because I think it’s silly to celebrate ‘love’ as it is popularly defined) and I ran across this old post. It still gives me a bit of a giggle, so here we go:
Alas: So I was watching Lord of the Rings the other day while grinding in Shadowmoon….
Friend: yeah?
Alas: And it was the first movie and they were in the Mines of Moria
Friend: yeah?
Alas: And I thought:
What a failsauce 10-man raid
They go in with only 9 people
Friend: they pulled the whole instance
they had a leeroy jenkins moment
Alas: Four of whom are complete n00bs
Friend: haha.
it was like level 50 content and the hobbits are like level 10
Alas: They have a mage tanking
Friend: yeah.
and the mage tank
omg1
that’s so funny! keep going
Alas: And their two warriors are more concerned with looking good than with wearing plate
So they’re in zarking leather
Friend: leather warriors!
hey, it’s rogue gear for dps
Alas: And somehow, the little guys pull all the aggro
Friend: cause they’re level 10
Alas: Right
And they have no healers
Friend: they just got their first talent point and feel all bad-ass
lol! bandages ftw
the mage can’t even aoe.
Alas: And only one ranged DPS since their mage is tanking
Friend: sure he’s level 70, but why no aoe?
Alas: Exactly!
Friend: he coulda killed those 40′s and 50′s
couple of arc expl’s and bam. instance done
but nooooooo
he never trained arcane
Alas: Apparently
Friend: and why the sword?
Alas: Too in love with fire, I think
Friend: staves have better stats
Alas: I know!
He didn’t even have an off-hand
Friend: he said screw arc and frost
all i need is fireball
rank 1
Alas: He didn’t even use Pyroblast
Friend: i know
lol
man, they needed a shammy for windfury
Alas: He just never spent his talent points or trained
And then their dwarf guy – where was he in that whole mess?
Friend: lol
he was all being short
Alas: Probably off looking for chests
“Guys, there’s treasure on my mini-map”
Friend: hey! i see a chest on my map
better snag it before we have to /roll
notice how he was all grabby with the tomb stuff?
he was a ninja
Alas: And the only reason Frodo didn’t die was because a higher level guy (Bilbo) gave him some phat lewtz
Friend: he had purpz!
Alas: Exactly
Friend: they needed a priest for the mage tanking
lol
Alas: Failsauce
See?
Oh – and Gandalf was apparently out of light feathers when he got dragged down into the abyss
Friend: rofl!
yeah
that’s instant cast buddy
Alas: Or he forgot he had slow fall
Friend: just pop it
lol! i’ve done that
oh yeah, he didn’t train arcane
“why are these light feathers a white item?!?!”
lol
it was his first 70
after the fall his buddy decided to take over, he was all, gimme that keyboard
he had to spirit res
Too funny, Alas! Don’t forget the mage tank /facepalming when the hobbit facepulls. Also, what a noob hunter, he didn’t even have a pet.
So many good observations keep coming to me after the fact. Like – if he was Gandalf the Grey before his buddy took over and he became Gandalf the White, does that mean that he was wearing grey items before and now upgraded as far as white? When will he get some greens or blues going? Will he avoid epics because Gandalf the Purple sounds a little… off?
I could have fun with this for ages.

Oh man, that was a funny conversation. Good times, good times.
It made me wonder where the hell Barley is these days.
Ha ha! That’s a great read! Well done!
Thank you!
This genuinely made me laugh, sweet post! Hope to read more of those :D

Considering I was JUST WATCHING LORD OF THE RINGS LAST NIGHT, listening whilst I levelled my (eventual) possible PvP twink, I found this post both HILARIOUS and HIGHLY RELEVENT TO MY INTERESTS.
Haha, Apple. This comment reminds me of a lot of the spam comments I get. The link will be from something like “Helping your infertility” and the content of the post will be about how stupid I found someone and the comment will say “This is something that I obviously care a great a deal about.”
Anyhow, I’m glad it was timely and funny. If you watch the others, I hope you spend the whole time thinking about WoW. :P
Lol. Very funny.
