#vanity pet

Well, Lettuce is kind of a disappointment. Doesn't look like the sentient vegetable I had expected AT ALL.

I'll be posting a screenshot that I've taken some time during my travels through SWToR.  I have a bunch of them currently so at the moment they are just things I laughed at, or things I thought were cool.  To include as many people as possible I'll try to make them lower level areas on planets that everyone has access to.  If the locations are republic only I'll make sure to note that by the picture.

Midsummer Festival and More

I haven't done a WoW post in a while, so I thought I'd update everyone in how things have been going.  Honestly, I just hadn't played much in weeks.  MMOs will go through periods of feeling stale.  It is an unfortunate fact.  But today Patch 4.2 went live and we are in the middle of the Midsummer Festival.

One of the things I usually depend on when game play gets old is my vanity pet collection.  Unfortunately, once I got my seagull it was starting to get just as bland as the rest of the game.  Well, the new patch came with a few new pets.  My favorite is the new pet achievements.  Since I have already collected over 100 pets the squirrel prize was just waiting in my game mail.  There are also "pet" rewards for collecting 125 and 150 different vanity pets.  I have new meaning in game. :-)

The Midsummer Festival isn't a huge ordeal to me, but I didn't get the holiday pet last year for Tulips.  It is probably one of the lamer pets, just a red ball of glow, but I've got to catch them all.  Especially if I want the 150 pet prize.  There are a few game achievements associated with the holiday that I am going to try and complete as well.  They mostly involve visiting all the Alliance and Horde festival tents and either honoring or extinguishing the flame, depending on whether or not the tent belongs to your faction.  It is really time consuming, even though I can fly through Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms this year.  Last year was hell trying to do that on foot, and for multiple characters.  Only Tulips gets the honor this year.

And I will end this with just some random screenshots:

Inn the Caverns of Time. Just flying around. Baby gryphons are just too cute!!! So cute!
