Dusky Hits Krokotopia!

Last night, with help from Haley MoonCatcher, my little Conjurer (Dustin DuskCatcher) finished off Wizard City and received his MythBlade spell. Picture time!

Dusky chillin' in the Myth School

Dusky's current deck setup. Note the Sideboard ;)

Lil' Dustin's stats. Pretty nice, for his level. Note gold amount (Wayfinder Scheme FTW!).

Bubba REALLY saves the day here. Note my current health situation X_X

So yeah, that's all pretty awesome. I pretty much really mad at David because he's been telling me my whole Wizard101 career that Myth is the school for me. Up until now, I really couldn't believe that because I'd never played it before. (Unless you count me getting a Conjurer to Level 5 on he first day I ever played :P) 

Could little Dusky possibly rival MoonCatcher as mains'? Find out next time, on. . . Wait, this isn't Ditto's segment ;)

Keep on Casting,

Wayfinder Hats Put On No Auction

Yep. KingsIsle made those great Wayfinder Hats un-auctionable.

So what does this mean? For everyone who's been hatching on a daily basis, the fun's over. For everyone who's been shared banking their Wayfinder's over to their alts, the fun's over. Basically, for me and a bunch of other people, the fun's over.

But hey, it's not like it's been coming as a big surprise. David has been telling me for a week now that KingsIsle is bound to change this thing. I secretly had to agree with him, because this whole thing has been very unbalancing to the game. But hey, as Kevin BattleBlood and Heather Raven both pointed out to me, "It's honest money!" and "Since they made their system like that, they should suffer the consequences." I can't help but agree with both of them. Especially since. . .

Yeah, I spent a bunch of gold on this Red Dragon Mount. David is going to be mad. But that's all cool.

What I'm Doin'.

Okay, so I've made up my mind about what I'm going to do about my current dilemma. (Just read that post I linked to remember my position.)

I have decided first off to let you know about what I'm going to do regarding WandCast. I'm really sad to say this, but I just have to take a hiatus from it for an episode or two. It's been pretty stressful being the only one on the show who actually has to do technical stuff (no offense at all to my "co-workers"). Every show, I've got to broadcast the whole thing while recording it while doing the Skype call. Then, afterward, I'm the one who has to edit it (which means re-listening to the whole show pretty much sentence by sentence and cutting out all the junk David says *wink*) Why? Maybe it's just because I'm good at it. But during my hiatus, Kestrel and David will need to step up to the tasks themselves, and I'm interested in seeing how they do. Maybe, after I get back, we can split up the responsibilities a bit more evenly. Also, the reason you haven't seen WandCast 10 out yet is because we (well, since I'm on a hiatus, David and Kestrel) are thinking about re-shooting it due to technical problems and an overall not-good-enough problem.

Alright, so now I'm moving on. I've decided to keep up with Wizard101 Info full time. It was my first ever connection to this fabulous community, and it's going to get better and better as we get closer (and when) to Celestia's release. Yes, this means that I will be picking up with posts again. (I'm really sorry about the lack of 'em! I've actually got a lot to talk about with you guys.)

And finally, I've got a huge new project coming out. If you are a good writer and would be willing to write, email me (wizard101stuff@gmail.com). That's all I'm sayin'.

Well, guys, lemme know what you think of my decision! This is King Boom signing off.

Keep on Casting,

Decisions?

As you can obviously tell, I've been posting less. This is due simply to the fact that my Real Life is taking over. And although it's making me very sad to think about it, there's going to be a lot of decisions I'm going to making pretty soon (as in the coming school year).

It's summer, and my whole Real Life is just taking off. I've been busy with a lot of band stuff. My band is really prominent in the area where I live, as is punk rock music (which we play). We played just last night at a huge venue that I'd LOVE to mention because if you know music, you'd know the venue. And then you'd think I'm cool. But I can't, because it would give away my top secret location. Anyway, it's really taking off for us (with a second CD in the process of being recorded and mixed), and we're pretty much getting shows left and right, and the demand for writing more and more songs is getting higher. On top of that, I've been semi-forced to set up a blog for the band/myself that has nothing to do with Wizard101, as well as a Twitter account. It's all for the goal of getting better connections in my area, which is very important.

So my band is taking up a huge amount of my time, and I'm happy! However, it's going to be more and more time consuming as the year progresses. But I'm worried that more things (like, oh, I dunno... SCHOOLWORK) is going to take up even more time. As you might know because I've blogged it before, I'm going to a private school next year. It's not that geeky of a school, actually, but the workload is going to be much more than I am used to. I'm going to need to really be on top of it... which brings me to decisions.

As I'm sure you all know, guys, I really don't want to quit this blog. And I don't want to quit WandCast either. But I think I'm going to have to pick one or do one more than the other.

Here is what I'm thinking right now: I think that I should semi-leave the blog, give it mostly to David, but have him let me post whenever I can without feeling completely obliged. I love WandCast just as much as Wizard 101 Info, and I think that I'm a vital part in making it the show that it is. I think it makes sense also to lean more heavily on WandCast because I'm a huge technical part of it. Anyway, whatever I decide to do, I can promise you that I'm still going to be an active community member whether it's blogging or podcasting, or a little bit of both.

Well? Let me know what you think of my idea to cut down on the blog a bit/ a lot and roll with the WandCast.

Thank you very much, guys.

Sorry, I'm a Bit Late. But a Contest Has Been Announced!

Yeah, er, I know. There's bit really no action here on Wizard101 Info the past week... or two. I'm sorry. It's summer, and the Real Life is blossoming, so I've figured that it's probably best to just... You know. Enjoy the weather rather than sit around and blog/play video games.

Anyway, I'm here to announce that a contest was announced on WandCast 9 which I haven't released yet. Due to the fact that it might not be out for listening until the end of this week, I think it makes sense to tell everyone who didn't hear the live show what we were saying the broadcast.

Okay, so here's the contest:

To enter our contest, you have to email us with a poem about the ghosts of Wizard101. Make sure that your poem has a pretty obvious theme that you execute well (i.e. funny, sad, death, etc.) We will be reading all of your poems and picking the one that we think does the best with it's theme/mood. Make sure you use descriptive words and that your poem is good! LOL! Send your entries to wizard101stuff@gmail.com. Winners will be announced on WandCast 10, which will be recording live on August 19 at 8:30 pm Eastern in our chatroom. The prize is a Pale Maiden pet that can *manifest Feint*.

Alright, guys, see you in the Spiral!

WandCast 9 LIVE Tonight on August 5th!

That's right, guys, we're going LIVE tonight with THE FRIENDLY! Come out to the Podcast WandCast chatroom at 8:30 pm Eastern Time (7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain, and 5:30 Pacific).

It's going to be a good show tonight, guys.

Behold the Mighty SHARK!

Kinda a Jaws shark going on here, and of course credit to Friendly for just being so on top of things :)  This mean whitish blue fighting machine here is the general term of a shark, yes a shark.  so for the ecosystem here we have the squid, the shark, and more to come!   /face palm  shoot i didn't even show the picture yet!

I think i would name my shark........Chumley.  /shrug  i am on a inspiration block  :I 

Also Samantha ThunderDust of   the Fearless Fire wizard, has recently finished comic #9 !  viewable on her blog site!

http://www.thefearlessfirewizard.blogspot.com/

And soon, us Wiz101 info kids are joining in on the comic mayhem!!!!   (Remember Sam, me name is not TitanBLADE.....LOL)

Well thats all for now  :D

Peace out,

David (Dave) TitanRider

Happy Birthday to those wizards out there!  /wink, wink, nudge, nudge,

The Struggle between the 2(and more) worlds.....

David here, while I am here typing loudly and fastly on this laptop, i am forcefully compelled to write about recent events in W101. Today, I got cursed at. /shrug  oh well, it tends to happen, so us wizards have to leave with they're heads held high, and buzzing clouds of hate forming ideas in your brain. Also(totally different subject) I FINALLY got to Disc 2 on Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope!  Its pretty fun and addictive, just google it, and get a game idea. (NTF(Note to Friendly: How far have you gotten through FF13?)) Anyways, the world of wizard101 is a fun, but dangerous place full of scams, traps, and inappropriate content for children before the age of 9/10. I am at the beach condo and am forced to take my break of the Xbox360 for a while :-( but I can wait. I hope dearly that I can get off of this planet Roak and onto EnII,  lol, I feel geeky now. Anyway.... life is goooooooood, and today i went fishing and caught a.......eel.  yep a EEL. It was slimy gross and all around AWESOME!!!!!!   :)   I gotta start practicing for multiple stuff, Bar Mitzvah among other things, and finishing up summer school work. :(  But I should stop ranting now, THATS Dustin's job jk  :D   :P  Its a good reassurance that i at least have good friends on wiz101  :-)  so thanks, and Congratz to Donna Spellthorn on crafting a Mannequin. I should be going so peace out everyone!!!!!!

-David TitanRider

And... Real Life Wins!

What with recording a CD with my band in Real Life, working on lyrics for the same band, practicing for a huge show we have coming up at a venue (which I unfortunately can't boast about on here because it would give away to much about my Real Life), and practicing for my upcoming Bar Mitzvah, I've found it a bit difficult to blog.

Anyway, it is summer, so I suppose it's a good thing that I haven't been glued to the computer too much.

I thought I'd let you all know that I simply haven't had time to blog these past few days, and until the end of the week, it's going to stay the same. Hopefully David will get some posts in while I'm busy IRL, right ol' pal?

I also thought that I would remind you all that WandCast 9 will be going LIVE on Thursday, August 5 2010 at 8:30 pm Eastern Time. The show is being held right in the Podcast WandCast chatroom, and we would be ever grateful and appreciative if you would kindly drop by our show if you've got time. I hasten to announce that we will be joined by none other than The Friendly Necromancer himself on this broadcast on WandCast! Friendly will be with us for, I hope, the entire show, giving his witty and wacky opinions and whatnot on Wizard101.

Well, everyone, this is Dustin signing off for most of the week! I'm expecting Celestia to be announced sometime this week *DING DING THEORYCRAFTIN'*, so if that happens, I'll most definitely be blogging for a bit about it.

Until then...

Keep on Casting,
D. MoonCatcher
