Extreme Computer Fail

My computer fails. Not this one, mind you, I'm talking about the one actually capible (somewhat) of playing WoW. The Desktop. Before I get into that, I'll tell you what didn't fail.

Last night I quested quite a bit in Scholzar Basin (once I hit 76 and could pick up the quests) I also met a very friendly shammy (level 79) who was also questing there and we helped eachother out. I got roughly six stacks of leather, so I was a very happy skinner. (ooooh all beast mobs <3) Thank you Blizz!
Anyway, the Shammy and I pwned some Alliance who were attempting to gank us (and fail, even at 80). They eventually backed off and let us quest in peace. I ALMOST hit 77 before I had to leave, I thanked him of course, turned in a few quests and logged.

I finally hit 77 tonight, and I can finally fly around Northrend on my snazzy epic flyer. Is it bad that I laugh everytime I see an 80 on a regular ol' slowpoke flyer? Does that make me a bad person? :P

I'm still working on Netherwing rep as well, that Netherwing Drake will so be worth it. I'm going to be getting the green one for a few reasons,
1) Green happens to be my favorite color
2) I don't see very many green Drakes, blues, however, are very common
3) It's just damn pretty!
4) It's the only color that isn't a variation of blue (even the Onyx one looks blue!)

So yes. In a few days time I should have my Netherwing Drake. I would probably be revered today if it weren't for extensive computer fail.
After hitting 77 and finishing up Scholzar (even the Oracles dailies for the day) I flew over to Dalaran and took the portal to Shattrath intending to do my Netherwing Dailies before logging.
Unfortunately, that's when the computer started to die on me. I was goofing off in Treokkar because, well, I can. I was flying through elite mobs, they'd aggro, I'd fly back up, they'd deaggro. Great fun. However, it made the computer freeze the way it does when it thinks I should be doing real work.
So, I restart and head to do my dailies. I take two steps into the mine and accept "Dragons are the least of our problems!" quest from the miner guy in there and it freezes again. I /sigh and restart + relog.
I start killing those silly ravagers and getting mining carts and keeping an eye out for eggs and one of my guildies inquires about a hunter choice of armor. (+100 armor vs extra agility in gem slots) I advised him to, even though that agility is very nice, survivability is important if you're leveling, so take the ones with more armor and stamina. I then linked the amazing helm that I want from Oracles and he began to /drool and ask how to get it. As I was typing up a reply....
it froze again.
I sighed again and restarted. As soona s I logged back in I began typing an apology in /g for leaving and not answering his questions. Before I can hit 'enter' it freezes again.
Needless to say I'm getting miffed at that point. I take out a pencil and start scribbling away, drawing my future netherwing mount....while waiting for the stupid computer to boot up again.
Okay, back up...I take two steps forward, it freezes again.
And again.
And again.
Until finally, it's frozen eight times in a row without me being able to finish a single daily (besides the gathering and crystals ones) quest for Netherwing rep. On the ninth try I type /cry into /g and begin to QQ about my computer troubles, it freezes again and I leave.
So....my Netherwing rep will take a bit longer than I'd like, I may start farming eggs instead of doing the mine quests (I hate them so much!). It's pretty easy to get 5-9 eggs in an hour or so, since the place is never farmed anyway because everyone's out getting their drakes (which I think are ugly as hell).

Yeah, so in short, my new computer (Dell XPS...250GB HD, 2GB RAM, generally badass /drool) will be coming soon. I'm really excited about not having to delete another game for every patch. (I'm serious. I had to get rid of four games when I got Lich King and Burning Crusade)
That old hunk of junk is going into the bedroom to satisfy the children's need to play silly games like Spore and Zoo Tycoon 2.


Despite the extreme fail of my computer, I'm still excited about having my speedy mount, I also am broke. I have MAYBE 400g between my bank and main, which is pathetic considering all the Saronite and leather I'm getting from Scholzar.


Tomorrow Night:
Begin Spirit Beast patrols /joy.
I hope I can find her quickly....I want people to /bow at my pet as I've done lots and lots to other Spirit Beasts. I'm going to have to think of a good name though, assuming I'm getting her.
With the Spirit Beast Patrols I'll to Oracle Dailies and work towards that helm. Oooh it has lots of crit and lots of AP and even some Stamina and Agility and HELL even some Intellect! I love it to bits! It also looks really cool with a jawbone of like a shark, so I won't need to turn off helm graphics for the first time since 68ish :D Oh the simple pleasures in life!

Okay. Bed now, it's getting late. 3AM to be exact. :P I promise, farming guide tomorrow, I just have to type it up and finish up the maps. XD
