Beatles WoW

(I have a billion things to do today and am behind on them all, and yet I *had* to post this before we forgot them.)

I dunno, maybe it's because we heard the news recently that there's going to be Beatles stuff for Rock Band. (YAY!) On the way home today after voting [livejournal.com profile] fordprfct and I were chatting about World of Warcraft, and he assured me he's going to help me get a few more tries at the seasonal halloween boss for one of my characters who hasn't gotten everything she'd want, despite him having all he'd want. He said he was starting to hear it as a Beatles song:

TTTO All My Loving, for seasonal bosses

"All my summons, all my summons, all my summons,
I will save for you!"

From there, we just started RUNNING with it.

We really need to filk Eleanor Rigby to Ol' Emma.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Eight days a week, I'm raaaaaaiding.
Eight days a week, is not enough to get my lewts!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The song of the Vile Reef in STV
"I'd like to be
under the sea
in a Saltfin murloc's garden - with you!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

for those who need a new video card
"You say you want some resolution, well, you know,
we all wanna see the world!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maxwell is clearly a paladin
"Bang bang Maxwell's holy hammer came down upon his head!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LFG channel song:

Help! I need somebody,
Help! not just anybody,
Help! I need some heals,
Help!

When I was just a noob, so much younger than today,
I never grouped at all, I soloed all the way.
But now those zones are gone and I'm not so OP.
Now I find I've changed my mind, who wants to group with me?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patch Day:

Yesterday,
I thought my talent build was here to stay,
But now it's gone, I don't know how to play,
Oh how I long for yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the tank I used to be,
There's a retadin that's killing me,
Leather armor's now agility.

Why they patched right now, I don't know,
it seems too soon.
Now my server's hosed, just can't cope
with echoes of doooooom.

Yesterday,
They said that dual-specs were on their way -
But now to change I have to pay,
Oh where's my gold from yesterday?

Why Salvation's gone I don't know,
I didn't fade.
Never read patch notes,
now I'm lost and wiped the raid.

Yesterday,
WoW was such an easy game to play.
Now every cookie-cutter's gone away,
Oh I will bitch for yesterday!

The Wonderful Wizard of Warcraft

So I spent a large chunk of today in the ER with a fellow World of Warcraft player. And they had a TV screen with a movie channel showing. The 3rd movie we sat through was The Wizard of Oz.

Now, I'd gone off for some dinner, and came back in about an hour into it. So they were just meeting the Cowardly Lion. I was noticing the clearly defined road, and the wilderness to either side of it, and commenting it looked like a WoW zone. We decided it was Stranglethorn Vale.

Then there was the poppies scene. Clearly they were crossing a zone boundary - and then, look, they went off the road, and encountered an AoE debuff. Clearly a stacking moving debuff, they didn't move quick enough through it. Only affects humanoids and beasts.

And they didn't have the key to Heroic Emerald City, we could see that.

As they went down the hall towards the wizard, I was commenting "I think I've been in this instance."

So the Cowardly Lion is the druid, and he's doing a quest to pick up an anti-Fear trinket. The Tin Man is the tank, and we think he's getting into the RP/character concept thing, as he's looking for a chestpiece with a Spirit bonus, despite that not being very useful for tanks. But look at what pains he's taken to get the matched set of armor, and he's using a one-handed ax despite having no shield - clearly optimum stats are not his priority. Dorothy is a hunter, as she can't go anywhere without her pet, and she needs a new hearthstone. I guess the Scarecrow wants to be a mage, but needs an intelligence boost first - and he really needs a better fire resist set.

Um. Yeah, we're geeks. Although this is better than the WoW-related silly train of thought I went off on during church...
