Fishing Like a Fiend

Awwww, look how ghostly and sparkly he is. I finally found this guy after looking for him for a few days. I didn't camp him or anything, though I heard some people do as the item he gives you is part of Is Another Man's Treasure, an achievement that gives you the title "The Relic Hunter".

The item is Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm and it gives you the chance to fish up an extra fish/crate/etc on every cast for an hour. I mainly wanted to find him because I have been fishing like a fiend lately in an effort to hopefully fish up the sea turtle mount. I've been fishing the Fish of the Day for the super-sized and zillions of smaller fishing pools it gives you. Still no turtle but I'm looking forward to using my new charm to see if will help. The charm is not consumed on use so go at it, fellow fishermen!

The Fearful Arch-Nemesis

I missed the Golden Globes yesterday (which is a shame as I am a total film and tv buff) because I discovered the obsession that is pet battling. I had only dallied in it before and my highest pets were only around level 8. I did the leapfrog method of leveling where I used my level 8 pets to capture level 10 pets, then replaced my whole team with the level 10 pets to capture level 12 pets, and so on and so forth until I got up to about level 16. The dreaded level 16 where wild pets start bringing their friends. I battled all the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms battle masters and got the achievements for doing so and then I frolicked through the Dark Portal into Outland where I met her. My dark arch-nemesis.

DUD DUN DUN. Oh yes. This evil little thing kicked my ass five times. GTFO with all your crazy hard mechanical pets. (I actually love mechanical pets, I have a rare Robo-cub I adore.) And of course, two of my team were magical so they got their butts handed to them. I finally admitted defeat and flew off, cursing into the sunset, to go tame other high level pets in the area. Still, each time I tried her, I'd get to where each of us were on our last pet and we each would have a sliver of health left. I'd kill her pet and them BAM! back to life where my last pet would finally give up the ghost and not, you know, magically come back to life.

So, whole team of mechanicals. DO NOT LIKE. Also, whole team of dragons. DO NOT LIKE.

I still have not gone back to try to beat her, though I think with team I have now I could. I went on to Northrend and started taming pets there. Maybe I'll go back and trounce her with a team full of 25s. Just ignore my evil laughter.

Back In the Saddle Again

Sooooo, I'm attempting to breathe life into this blog again. Hang with me while I get my bearings. I stopped blogging here back in Wrath of the Lich King. Let's not even mention Cataclysm. But Pandaria, I'm having a lot of fun in Pandaria so I thought I might attempt to post here once in awhile to amuse you all with my random adventures. I do PVP, PVE, pet battles, retro raids... just about a little of everything, which is why this blog is called THE FRIDGE. You never know what I'm going to pull out of there.

I guess I should give a bit of an update about myself. I'm a casual player right now. I used to be a raider back in Wrath, but I stopped in Cata because of the immense (at the time) changes to healing that made healing 5-mans a complete nightmare and gave me nervous breakdowns. I barely played at all during Cata, to be honest, but Pandaria has drawn me back and I'm comfortable with healing again and I'm loving the expansion so far. My current guild does not have a raid team so I mainly do LFR. Which is really unfortunate as my computer loves 10-mans but hates 25-mans. Haaaaaaaates. Still, I get to raid to my own schedule, which is convenient, and helps me maintain life balance so I don't end up playing WoW all night long. (I did this back in Wrath. And yes, I work full-time. I had no self-control!)

So, I'm in a good place game-wise and thought I would dust this place off a bit. Oh, I probably should mention I'm a horrible alt-oholic. Seriously. I have problems.

Here's to new adventures and new friends!
