You Yank It, You Tank it: Blog of a Tanking Death Knight Lady
The Journey of a Tank DK and her Alt Army
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 18,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 4 Film Festivals
Well today is the third anniversary of the existence of this blog.
Wow. Even I can’t believe it’s been that long! I decided to do a little screenshot montage of my WoW existence. Burr, Kan, Endy – you may see yourselves in some of these. Definitely Ven too.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 29,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 11 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Just a point of note, for that that read the blog [I know, a meta post for once!]. Venoym and I have already preordered Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s our Christmas present to each other in fact.
We also did the Access Pass for WoW a couple weeks ago – so we do intend to continue playing WoW for the moment as well. We have a raid team depending on us and we’re enjoying raiding again – likely because we aren’t leading. We still want to finish that last 38% on Rag and we want to kill Deathwing.
I honestly can’t make guarantees about the content of the blog. I suspect it’ll more likely be slanted to WoW… but then again I haven’t seen the Star Wars game either. In likelihood, it’ll end up a blended version… or if I have a lot of Star Wars things to talk about I may create another blog, much like I did whilst testing the Cataclysm Beta. Then again, I don’t know what’s going to happen or how time will end up split. Basically, you’ll know when I know 😀
Call me a geek, but I can’t wait to see Askevar the Jedi Knight 😛 Maybe she’ll even make dark side choices… who knows?
ETA: After some discussion with Venoym, I’m likely just going to allow this blog to expand. I haven’t kept strictly to 100% WoW topics anyway
42020 / 50000 words. 84% done!
Well… I’m in the home stretch of NaNo. The story has come to me faster than I could have dreamed – I wrote my daily goal today in about 45 minutes and I even wrote extra. I’m still aiming for the 1667 daily target [I like that blue bar to be full] and I’ve met it all but a 2-3 days. I’ve even exceeded it significantly a couple times. Each night instead of just laying awake trying to go to sleep, I’ve been plotting out some of the next day’s story [and I usually fall asleep before I’m done]. So eh 🙂 I’m actually enjoying it quite a bit and it’s not taking over my life.
This progress was probably helped along by the fact that our guild took a couple weeks break from raiding [we’re now back and working on Raggy again… just a hair from phase 3].
The lock I’m leveling with Endyme’s baby priest hit level 60 last night. The undead hunter I worked on a bit during the 2 week break is level 50 [heirlooms and guild xp really is sick]. Askevar [my main] got the 378 tanking boots crafted the other day. Hubby should be getting them tomorrow with luck.
So it’s actually been a quiet month.
November is National Novel Writing Month [NaNoWriMo]. I’ve participated several times… never actually finished but eh… I think I’m going to participate again. I’ve got a story in progress that I desperately want to completely rewrite and redo and add on to so I’m going to use this as an excuse to finally sit down and do that. I’ll see how much I can get done and progress will be made – which is what I’m aiming for. If I happen to hit the 50k word count… that’s great!
I know it’s probably a completely backwards way of going about it… but with a three year old, a bunch of Real Life stuff going on and WoW responsibilities and goals… it’s going to be hard to get that much done I suspect.
So we’ll see 🙂
I changed my twitter name from uyankutank to Askevar just for my own sanity 😛
The link is now changed on the side.
If you didn’t care anyway, please disregard this post 😛
My hubby, known as Venoym in game, has decided to occasionally post guest posts here. I hope you enjoy! I’ve got him listed as a contributing author on the wordpress blog so 😀 Welcome him!
