Ok, So I made my celebratory breakfast this morning consisting of biscuits and gravy and a big mug of coffee. I informed Mr. Sky that I will be loading the dishwasher, busting out breakfast but then I am going to be selfish and make time to do what I have been looking forward too and that meant WATCH THE EXPANSION ANNOUNCEMENT for World Of Warcraft from Gamescon 2015
Well just as Murphys law states "If it can go wrong it will!".
I had the stream set up to watch on my tablet so I could be dazzled while eating breakfast but then I thought NO ! Bigger and Better! So I opened up You tube on the Big TV in the living room hoping that it would be an AMAZING show for the family to join in on! So then I went to open up my phone to cast the screen to my TV and it was totally frozen! Then I thought Phew! I have my tablet streaming in the kitchen, I'll be fine if my living room TV plan doesn't pan out! Just then My Sky walks into the living room and holds my tablet up and says," It is starting!" He is not very tech savvy and I just knew that his big man thumbs would tap the screen and close it all down and I will be left with NOTHING. I froze into place and said very slowly ," P L E A S E...SET ...IT.........DOWN.......CAREFULLY......" Like it was a damn grenade missing the pin or something! He looked at me and started laughing. He obviously did not grasp how serious I was about making this MY TIME after all I very rarely make a stance and demand anytime because I do all of my non mommy stuff while everyone is sleeping. I finally got the you tube to stream the Gamescon 2015 reveal on my big TV and we all settled down to watch it and I WAS PUMPED!!!!!!!! The expansion trailer grabbed my husbands attention and my little moons attention right away. She fell in live with the "Pretty Orc" the moment she saw Guldan lol We had bought them some Orc toys to play with the other day that are for her age and she immediately went to go and find him and thought he was behind the Entertainment stand and went to pull it away from the wall almost unplugging the tv chord from the wall. I leaped up from the couch once again to stop my precious stream from being shut off and that once again set my husband laughing in hysterics. I said, " I don't think you understand that this is some very important STUFF!" LOLOLOL He then starts to ramble about not getting to go fishing as much as he used to because of work and I quickly told him to suck it up and get a real hobby that is not victim to the weather, GAMING!
SO now I am tucked away in my bedroom with my headphones on fully prepared for a meteor to shooot down from space and smash my computer to keep me from watching this damn expansion reveal I have had to pause and re watch now a GAZILLION times......
So FINALLY After I had to pretty much extract myself in a selfish and
AND HOLY CRAP!!!!!
World Of Warcraft Legion
and
HOLY CRAP! SNORE-FEST!!!!!
Before I had went to hide away and watch the stream in my room, my husband and I were watching the first speaker, Who I can honestly only say, is Alex "Blah Blah Blah" as my stream lagged and even the you tube stream jumps when his last name is mentioned. That oddly seems kind of fitting because sweet baby Thrall.... this guy put us to sleep! I kept fighting off the feeling that I was back in high school listening to some boring teacher ramble on and on. I really felt like they dropped the ball here. :( Is it just me or did Alex have an extra earpiece compared to what Ion Hazzikostas had? I told Mr. Sky it looked like he was listening to someone say something in his ear then he would relay it. The delivery came out flat, slow, and lacking passion and excitement. It could easily be argued that this may have been his first time public speaking , maybe he was just nervous, but that does not explain why he was chosen to deliver the most anticipated message about Warcraft all year. It was quite painful to watch and listen too . You would think that who over was chosen to deliver the expansion news would be just as pumped up and geeked out as we are but Alex did not look or sound excited lol Not one bit. He walked around the stage staring toward the floor and attempting to crack little jokes here and there. I feel they really really needed to have someone drop this expansion news that had the same excitement for it as the crowd had and as we do. I think they should have had Ion or Chris Metzen drop the news then have Alex step in. I feel they really needed to deliver the news with such an overload of passion, excitement, and energy . So fired up that the crowd would rawr so loudly that they would have to pause to wait for the sounds to die down to talk again, but a lack luster delivery leads to a lack luster crowd response.
When Ion got up to speak you could totally feel his passion. He talked fluidly and with first hand knowledge. You could get the impression quickly that he knew what he was talking about and had all the answer ready to flow from his mouth to our ears like he usually does . I told Mr. Sky that this Ion dude has this weird confident hypnotic voice that just seems to make you smile and nod as he explains things.
So once I got over the obvious wet noodle of an introduction, I found myself really looking forward to what's in store.
Here is the Official Legion Website for your to check out!
I am honestly more geeked out about this expansion and all they are "Promising" us so far. I know everything is subject to change, but I am thrilled to be able to rock out a Demon Hunter,
To explore the Broken Isles,
AND HELL YEAH TO HONOR SYSTEM VERSION 3
A Pvp Talent Tree System
Are us PVP loving players finally seeing some love!?
I truly truly hope so!!!!!
There is sooo much to go over and comb through to give an honest effort so that will be for future posts. I succeeded in at-least getting to watch the stream and soak in all of the awesome aspects of the new expansion. It really felt like Christmas all over again and for us Adults, the butterflies of excitement comes very far and few the older we get, so we have to enjoy our childlike excitement when we can get it, and I am EXCITED!
Well, My mother duties are kicking in! Time to his the road and head to the park.
OH! And thank god we don't have to go around for months referring to the new expansion with some form of crazy initials like the past expansions of MOP and WOD! It is soooo nice to just say
LEGION!!!
Esme out!
