Quiet lately

I havent been playing as much. Feeling tinges of burnout hitting with all the alts. As the BNL song goes "Its all been done". I started up a Tauren Warrior and remembered a few things from the old days
1 - Taurens have the biggest starting area by leaps and bounds - and its got a much lower population density
2 - Its obnoxious as hell to do the Tauren starting quests
3 - Taurens are freaking HUGE - frequently I cant even see the creep Im fighting (or that just aggro'd me)
4 - GD it feels like a long ass run out of the noob town to the first town.
5 - Im REALLY not looking forward to the run from TM to Ogrimaar

But, thats where Im spending some time. Im trying to get fired up.. and i think the only way thats gonna happen is going to be taking a break. Cause right now, as of this moment, Im totally burned out. And I think that this blog helped that along. "He who burns brightest, burns shortest" or some shit like that.

But dont worry - I still want to get my knowledge base into a permanent form. I will still write up a long ass post about Auctioneer, its features, the included mods and how many cool things you can do with it.

Today I think Im gonna go off for a few minutes about the WoW PodCasts. You might have noticed that I link to a few on the page - those are the ones I recommend. I have a bitch about podcasts tho -
They are a pre-recorded medium. There are a few things that shouldnt happen when you can edit the cast later
1 - wrong or lacking data - you can pull up the web site and provide it.
2 - consistent volume - if you are hosting the show with another person can you PLEASE make sure that you arent blowing out eardrums and the co-host is so quiet you cant make out exactly what they are saying
3 - lack of reason for podcast - FFS! if you have nothing to say, dont record it. Come up with a list of things to talk about. Flash cards, something.

Funniest Podcast host has GOT to be Slanik on WoW Radio: Vendor Trash. An irish git who is generally funny as hell... tho since its a Radio show he plays smidges of music. bah.
