Are you ready for your ready check?

I have found there is really only one way to be ready for a ready check in life. Pick up your yellow stein, a dark iron mug, and get out that pet wolpertinger. Lastly, put on your lederhosen and drink a pint when those pesky ready checks come upon you while adventuring with friends.

And remember kids, "I like my beer, like I like my women - stout and bitter."

May I suggest more bran in your diet?

It seems Morogrim Tidewalker is a little bound. Could it be that he is not tidewalking enough? He stands around in the Serpentshrine Cavern waiting for adventurers to come and try to kill him.

He's got stress. Not to mention this evil naga queen who you know is on him about every little thing. "Your murlocks are leaving messes every where." "Your water is all yellow." "Do you even know where our bathroom is?" Cut the guy a break Vasje. I feel for him. Next time I see him, I think we should just kill him and take him out of his misery.

Is it cold in here?

It got kind of drafty in BRD the other day. It seems the only way I could warm up was to SMITE!. Kinzy got into the spirit as well.

GruulGnome - He's not so tough

Get your B.E.E.R. Goggles equipped and Gruul really gets knocked down to size. This was my first successful attempt on Gruul and I had a great time.

Most memorable quote when Gruul was at 2% and Addy had been off tanking since around 20%:

(/yell at the computer screen so Shining can hear), "Adnar is off tanking Gruul!"
(1 Hurtful Strike later on TeamSpeak), "Addy down"
(From the kitchen), "hehehhehehe"

If I could, I would play like this every day.

My day took a 180 degree turn some time ago. After experiencing a horrible transporter malfunction, I ended up looking like this. I failed to capitalize on this unfortunate accident however and did NOT SMITE! evil Tauren all over Mulgore.

Oh ya, Moo.

Pally Power

Addy UI

Can I kill it now? How about now? Can I? Huh?

So here is your typical situation when in Kharazhan. I dunno why everyone is standing around and looking everywhere but where I am, but there is a good chance I am looking at something to SMITE! There is also a good chance I got everyone killed right after this picture was taken.

Sweeet!

Shiney and I were down in the Netherfields Mine and had us some fun. No, not the fun you are thinking of. Tisk, tisk, tisk. AoE SMITE!ing is good times.

RAIDs kill bugs dead

Gathering raids with the extra SMITE!ing power of LIGHT kills bugs dead!



Poor Franky, we hardly knew ye.....




Sometimes its the bugs that kill RAIDs dead. Sagan, maybe some extra plate hidden in those robes would help out. I'm just sayin' the bugs tend to like you and some protection might be in order.

How far I have come

Before I knew the Gathering I couldn't get a raid to save my life. I was a nothing, nowhere, a nobody. Then I got to know you and now people call me Adnar Helmshield!

These were the days. A 5 pally raid. No, Aurial could not participate. A ToD Ony. Then there were all those involved who helped me get my pony. Fury is such a great horse. Truly some fun times were had by all. I thank those who played with me in the past and look forward to good times in the future.

Reports from Paladin brothers in Outland

I received mail today from a strange looking member of my order. He says his name is Adraenai and is in Outland, a land through the Dark Portal! He requires assistance in SMITE!ing the evil in his land and requests my presence as soon as possible. My friends, we must answer Adraenai's call. Come with me through the Dark Portal and SMITE! To travel through the Dark Portal one must travel to ye nearest games shoppe and put down your coin for transport. It could be months before enough coin is collected, an expedition to be financed, and a glorius expansion for the alliance into Outland. Do all you can and I will see you on the other side.

Don't chew you know who I am?

Today we start a new series. A monumental series. A series to rival anything that has happened in Azeroth to date. A task worthy of someone who has no life and has extra time on his hands. I, Adnar Helmshield, will help introduce you to the wild and crazy girls and guys that make up the Gathering. What expose wouldn't start out interviewing our head Meat Puppet Huntarr? This heavy hitting human of high health and humor keeps this ragtag band of raiders laughing wherever we go. First in and first down is how I like to think of Huntarr. A true Juggernaut in every sense of the word. When asked how he felt about being the first Gathering member to be interviewed for Silverhand WoWGeek his response was, "Don't chew you who I am?" We do now, Huntarr. Go in peace.

Broodlord! Gimme my shiny new slippers!

After running through the evil petting zoo that Nefarion created just for us, we quite surprisingly ended up at Broodlord Lashslayer. Here is the man in all his glory. What we found out was that he is weak sauce. Now let's kill more Dragons!

Are you are F#@^!}G kidding me?

Scott Evil: I was thinking I like animals. Maybe I'd be a vet.



Dr. Evil: An evil vet?
Scott Evil: No! Maybe like work in a petting zoo.
Dr. Evil: An evil petting zoo?





Scott Evil: You always do that!

I gotta Feeva....

The Gathering successfully SMITE!D Vaelestrasz the Corrupt this past weekend. For those of us who didn't blow up with excitement these pics are for you!



SMITE!



Ooooo! So Strong!



I gotta feeva and the only prescription is more BWL! Onward and Upward!

I went to Blackwing Lair and all I got was this stupid picture

What to say about our friend Razorgore the Untamed? Oh ya.. he is a #@#$%?!! and a %##":?*!! to boot. On our last serious attempt we almost had him. I know I speak for others when I say it was a thing 'O beauty when we got all the kiting down and all those mobs were running in circles. We have come so far in so little time.

As you can see, some of these pictures were taken post-SMITE! Thanks to all those who showed up and let's hit him again.

Life through Adnar's eyes

Mass bubblehearth crashes server

Last night at approximately 9pm server time, a mass exodus of those who follow the Light after a successful smiting in UBRS caused a complete server resart and a rollback to day 1. Thanks to all those involved. Adnar wants his stuff back!
