The Tragic Tale of the Big Pink Jerk

Vengeance is a dish best served .. disappointed.

DPS on SKULL

Leaves: "omg hi!"

Welcome to Bad Pull!

This is Leaves, the (currently) level 65 Druid.  She’s a bit of a ditz, but otherwise a real trooper.  She’s on her way to Northrend soon!  I feel like we barely even saw Outland at all.  Thank the Keepers for RAF!  But I’ll get to that in a later post.  🙂

For now, let’s just thank Leaves for her (ahem) willingness to sacrifice herself in the name of photo opportunities.

Real trooper!

Just as a bit of background on myself…  I’ve been playing World of Warcraft off and on (read: mostly on) since February of 2005.  As a player, I find myself a bit tough to classify.  I’m definitely too hardcore to be considered ‘casual’.  I log probably on average 20~30 hours a week.  I read about WoW mechanics, and I’m constantly trying to tweak my UI and gameplay to become better at the game.  On the other hand, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m a hardcore player in the typical sense.  I don’t care for 25-man raids, I’ve never been on the cutting edge of content, and quite frankly I blow at PvP.

I think perhaps, all in all, that I’m probably a pretty typical player.  I have a full-time job and a wonderful family, and I play a bit too much World of Warcraft.

My hope is that there will be something in these posts at Bad Pull to which you, as a player, can relate.  I’m telling my story in this blog, but my story almost certainly has parallels with yours.  Over time, I may occasionally take a bit of a tangent to flesh out my experience (FFXI and UO, I’m looking at you *glare*), but rest assured that everything in Bad Pull will relate to WoW.

I think the best way to kick off this blog is the way I kick off all of my groups.

DPS order is SKULL, CROSS, STAR.  Greed on BoEs, Pass on BoPs, and please feel free to NEED anything that’s an upgrade.  Let’s do this!
