WoW Worgen, Streaming Art, and the Common Cold
15 years ago
General
So I've been completely out of it with a nasty cold, and have been mostly resting and doing nothing. Sorry about the delays on commissions, I'm feeling much better now, and busy catching back up to life, so I can get started again. Seriously: bills, medical exams, library books, Xmas tree decoration, Xmas shopping, auction emails.... My life can't stop for ONE week! Once I get all that taken care of, though, I'll be posting links to live streaming art and whatnot.
Speaking of which, any good suggestions for a streaming service? I can't draw porn on Ustream or Livestream, and Watchtail has been complaining of bandwidth issues. I may have to divide my art time between the three. Though I HATE the popup ads on Livestream and haven't tried Ustream yet.
Oh, I DID get the chance to check out WoW Cataclysm last night though, for those interested in the new "furry" race, the Worgen. My opinions? The males look awesome. If you were thinking about playing a female, though, don't waste your money. They all have swollen puffy eyelids, botoxed muzzles, and prissy upturned noses. They don't look like the same breed as the males. They look like... were-chihuahuas. After a botched plastic surgery. Seriously, the artist who designed the faces should be fired. Ruined my expectations for the expansion, so don't worry, I won't be buying it and immersing myself in OMG LVL 85 WORGEN NAO.

FA+

Fair enough if others play it but personally i don't wanna pay monthly for something that doesn't keep my attention :P
As for me, though, since I used to GM WoW, I had to quit WoW cold turkey because it's been taking time away from my life, time I need to spend making money and paying bills. So, no worgen for me. :<
The systems were private servers, but worked on similar systems as blizz.
how is anything you just said NOT related to blizzard?
WoW = Blizzard.
You just said you used to GM World of Warcraft.
So, that's what a private server is. People who are either too cheap or can't afford to pay Blizzard their $15 per month (which is a BARGAIN IMHO!) and which require special "GMs" (they like to call themselves that, sadly) to keep them running or even directly control enemies in order to make them seem more real. As a game develop myself, these folks are pretty much the biggest scum of the earth to me.
Considering that the company I work for sells Blizzard products, I do whatever I can to help extend Blizzard's business, as I have done with many gaming companies for the past 10 years.
I'm well aware of how hard they work.
having said that, i did get a chance to play the beta, even though it didn't have Females in it at the time, and males were all based on the same template, i did play out the entire start area, and get to play with some of the char creation tools, you could design a female in the later stages, but when you set it, it just turned male X3.
found a hole in stormwind where you could fall through the floor, and reported it, with a few other minor bugs, so its not like i didn't do my betaing part.
on a final note: Worgens = werewolves without tails = Failure... I'm a tail loving freak X3
With the right plugins and addons, you can use Livestream just fine without any commercial interruptions.
"I'm not who you think I am" xD
because I'm playing a male Worgen even though I'm female in rl
I wished they kept the previous skins for the females, they were much nicer looking
(but that's why they had to change, because they were "too nice" *hears an echo of fapping noises*)
