So first i found trogg new model, now i see Wendigo new model, also you can find it in other names like yeti or sasquatch, i was trying to level up mining for my gnome rogue, i found these new model in a cave:
compare it to the old model (taken from Wowhead):
Clearly .. old model was not happy, old model yeti share the same pain with old model troggs, but now with more polygons and better teeth, they can feel some pride 🙂
This hardware gift guide from MOP made me think about what i want to do with my computer, the idea was getting the best computer i can but i could not, so i have to make compromises in hope to upgrade my machine slowly, so this post is just my shopping list for things i want to buy in near future.
SSD, loading times is the main reason, i want faster computer and the old tech hard drives is slowing everything down, so i want SSD, it will probably be Samsung 850 EVO 500GB.
Monitor, the current one is good but i want a second monitor, it does not matter if it is smaller, i just need a way to have more information displayed instead of switching back and forth between apps.
The other option is to buy one big monitor where i can have 2 or more windows but that could mean i need better graphic card to support that.
My current Monitor is also good enough for TV, i mean one day i’m going to buy Nintendo Switch or borrow my brother’s and i prefer to play it on big monitor, so this one could work.
So basically i need more monitor space, but i’m not sure which way to go, 2 monitors or 1 big monitor?
External DVD/Blue Ray driver, i rarely watch any movies, in the last 7 years i probably watched 2-3 movies, but i watch documentaries and i still prefer to buy them on disc, after watching them i give them to people who have no access to this kind of content.
Logitech G13 Gameboard, or other devices provide same features, this one is not important, but i would love to play WoW with it.
Speakers, this is not important, but sometimes i get tired of headphones, also some times i miss listening to radio while i’m away from my computer, in the other hand speakers means more wires, i don’t like that.
I almost forgot: Laser Printer, i like paper, i like printing stuff, i hate printers! let’s leave it at that.
That’s all, i would love to see your list, write it in your blog, link to this post.
For a long time i read about mechanical keyboards and how they are better, last longer, easy to repair and feel better, i thought i’ll give them a shot, and i’m glad i did.
Months ago i bought WASD Keyboard, chose boring colors for the keys, the company shipped the keyboard after few days, it didn’t arrive, my mistake because the phone number i put was wrong, corrected that and i waited for the shipping company for a month, it didn’t arrive.
Contacted WASD Keyboards customer service and told them about that, they said the old keyboard is lost, and they sent another one for free! i really feel guilty for this one, it was my mistake and the shipping company, but they didn’t say anything, just sent another one, arrived in few days.
It really feel different, i don’t know how to describe that other than saying it feel more fun to type on this keyboard than any other cheap ones i can buy at local store, it makes me want to write more to enjoy using it.
Taking off the caps is easy, the keyboard comes with a “Wire Keycap Puller” which helps to take caps off, i can clean the keyboard or change the caps if i want to, check out this gallery which makes me regret not choosing happy bright colors for the keys, WASD also offer custom keyboards, check them out.
There are people and small companies sell crazy looking caps, i’m going to buy some of them, and i’m sure i’ll buy another mechanical keyboard, there are so many sizes, shapes and features, and one day .. maybe, just maybe i’ll make my own keyboard, some people did it, i want to do it because i want a keyboard with Leap Keys.

Useful tool: While i’m trying to organize my alts to see what to do with them, i found a great website which could help me with that: Simple Armory.
Is there another websites do the same? i feel there should be an addon for WoW to plan each alt, provide a checklist for things to do daily or weekly.
Hunter story: flying from Icecrown Citadel to Borean Tundra, i flew over Sholazar Basin, i thought while i’m flying i’ll search for one of the rarest pets for hunters, Loque’nahak, not only it is a rare rare, other players try to kill it or tame it, so there is a lot of competition around this mob.
No matter how many time i search for this pet or wait for it, i never saw it except with few other hunters, so i was so suprized to find it there in the Basin, no other player around, i wasn’t prepared for this, lucky for me i have 4 pets with me, there is a free space for 1 more, tame it .. my heart was beating fast, i read so many stories about player griefing around this pet, angry hunters kill the pet before other hunters get it, other players seeking to get achivement and they don’t care about hunters.
4 … 3 … 2 … 1 … boom, i have the rarest pet! i’m so happy, time to show off the pet all the time now!
Some random screenshots:
Oooh legendary item .. useless for hunters, vendor itPraying before meeting the Sha of Anger, in hope to get a mountOn right of this road shrine, someone put rice cakes as offering, i was so tempted to eat them!
I find this whole thing fascinating, i mean road shrines and the offerings by travelers, so much to learn here.
Now i’m back to WoW, i’m thinking about what will i do for alts, what race should i choose for each class, should i delete some alts or not? and in BfA i want to level all 6 new allied races to get the transmog sets, so that means there will be more races than classes in BfA.
The other good thing in BfA is the zone scaling, i want to try leveling some alts from level 1 when this arrive, this could mean deleting some current alts.
I want to plan this, be more organized and learn from Gnomecore, he use spreadsheets to plan how to play his alts, i want to do that instead of being random.
So let me start with what alts i know i’ll keep:
Nemiya: human hunter, my main.
Yeesha: human shadow priest.
Sulwan: human death knight … yeah, i guess i like humans more than i care to admit!
Solita: gnome rogue, with green hair!
Nixxle: goblin hunter, my horde character.
I guess that makes it easy to delete the other alts, focus on these alts until zone scaling arrive then start new alts, so this is the plan for now.
So … at last my saga with our telecom reached the end, the new connection is here, bought some subscription for WoW first thing, started playing, i got my fancy new glasses, killed dragons, Kazzak and more dragons.
It’s weird to be back after more than a month of not playing WoW, i feel lost, i even forgot what’s in my bags and why i’m keeping all these things, i forgot how to play, and because i’m used to other games now i keep pressing the wrong keys!
It’ll take time, i’m just happy to be back home 🙂
I still remember that day when my sister asked me if i want to read Harry Potter, never heard about these novels before, she gave me 5 books, the covers make them look like novels for kids, i didn’t mind anyway, i’ll give any book a chance and i’m glad to discover HP world.
When people use the word “binge” these days they usually talk about binge-watching TV shows, but there is binge-reading books too, that’s what i did with Harry Potter novels first time, the internet back then was different, there was no reason to keep connected and distracted for the whole day, it was easier (for me at least) to focus on one thing and finish it, so that’s what i did, i read all first 5 Harry Potter novels, stopping only for sleeping, eating and sometimes walking.
My english back then wasn’t good enough to understand the novels, that didn’t stop me from reading english books over and over, slowly i started to understand more and more, it took me years to reach a level where i understand most of what i read, i used HP novels as a measurements, every time i reread them i find myself understanding more details.
When i finished reading the 5th novel my sister told me the 6th will be released soon, by that time i was a fan, i listened to a podcast about HP! visit fan-made websites, even visit J. K. Rowling personal website from time to time, this is rare for me, i usually don’t have such passion for anything.
Living with the novels is a good way to describe how i felt about them, i don’t only read them i live with characters, i hated some of them, loved some and wished and i still wish i could be Hagrid best friend, Hagrid made me cry more times than i care to admit, and every time this happen i ask myself what is wrong with me? fictional characters! they are just words on paper … but i lived with them, stories have power over us.
Collecter’s edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard
After reading the last book once i thought this is the end, i already read these books so many times, i know almost everything in them, so i gave my books to a friend in India with collector’s edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
This year i saw in a bookshop a boxed set for the novels, with bright covers, it was a gift for myself, but after 10 years things have changed, the internet is addictive, i can’t focus as i used to do in the past, reading a book in one sitting require from me traveling to another country where internet is hard to get and just then i can focus on reading.
Slowly i went back to the magical world, lived with the characters again, enjoyed every page of these books, and Hagrid made me cry again, the 5th book still my least favorite, it is too long and i read before Lord of the Rings and Anathem, both novels reach almost 1000 pages, i don’t mind the length but still the 5th book feels too long.
When i was done with the books i put them back in the box, called my niece, gave her the books and told her that i learned english reading these books, i lived in a wonderful world with these books, i hope she find magic in them like i did.
For a long time i read about mechanical keyboards and how they are better, last longer, easy to repair and feel better, i thought i’ll give them a shot, and i’m glad i did.
Now i’m back to WoW, i’m thinking about what will i do for alts, what race should i choose for each class, should i delete some alts or not? and in BfA i want to level all 6 new allied races to get the transmog sets, so that means there will be more races than classes in BfA.
