Hanging Out in Tanaris...

...would be a terrible pun to use as the title of this post. Be sure to change it to something more dignified before publishing. </End Note to Self>

What a great quest! A quest with a pet reward (Feathers) AND an opportunity for silly screenshots? Yes, please!

Zandalar Forever!

I finally got to use my BfA boost for a Zandalari Troll Druid! I actually wanted to name her Ez'Kiki but I couldn't use an apostrophe, unfortunately. I'm going to try out Balance and see if I can get used to it again. I like the Moonkin form and I especially love the Travel/Flight forms.

What a Long, Strange Trip Back Home

I really like all of the new holiday hearthstones, but this one is my favorite so far. I can't tell if it does something different on each use, but my Tauren blew a kiss at the end and my Goblin doesn't seem to do that. I love the fireworks on this one, though, and the Lunar Festival hearthstone, and I can't wait to see the rest of the holiday hearthstones for the year.
My brother asked if there was going to be a meta achievement for collecting each holiday hearthstone, and although there doesn't seem to be anything right now, I think they ought to make one. The Children's Festival hearthstone should require PvP, too, just to make the whole thing feel like a challenge. :D
Or maybe not.
I still think it would be a fun reminder of the reason I did all of the holiday achievements in the first place; a nostalgic nod to the achievement that actually made me feel like I'd achieved something.

Home Is Where the Horde Is - Part 2

This is the video I'd been planning on making ever since I did the To Be Forsaken quest line and realized that I didn't need to be concerned about the faction conflict plot lines anymore. The Goldtusk Inn quest line also reminded me why the Horde is my home.

All of My Training Has Prepared Me for This Moment

Dark Iron mole machines? I know exactly what to do. Hand me a brew and watch this.

S.E.L.F.I.E. Time!

This was my third trip through the Gnomeregan pet dungeon (I'll never get used to saying that). It's getting easier now that I bought a couple of pets off the Auction House that I needed, but I'm still looking forward to collecting the rest of the pets and being done with it.

I started this post a week ago and got sidetracked, and then I haven't played at all since then, so I don't really remember what else I was going to say about it, other than I finally timed it right and caught the Gnome with his camera out. I never realized holding the camera was the /point animation.

Incredibly Innacurately Named Quest

There's a World Quest in Tiragarde Sound where you talk to a friendly Tauren who flies you over to a ship packed with enemies where you are instructed to kill three named mobs and ten regular mobs. It should say on the quest objectives " /10 Ship crew slain, LOL" because you're going to kill ten within the first few seconds of the quest. The rest of the time you'll wander aimlessly through countless rooms and what feels like ten or eleven deck levels to find the named mobs who are safely tucked away in remote corners of the ship. Just like shooting fish in a barrel. :-/

I have no idea what Blizzard employee thought "Like Fish in a Barrel" was a good name for this WQ, but evidently they have a different understanding of what exactly that saying means. I always assumed that it meant "easy", because all of the fish were trapped in a confined space and you could shoot them without the means of escape. However, it seems the alternative interpretation is that that fish are so packed into the barrel that it's impossible to find and kill the three named fish that you're searching for without killing every single other fish in that barrel at least FOUR TIMES. Except that actual fish don't respawn upon death, so even that doesn't quite work.

I would suggest the title "Like Finding Three Needles in a Haystack If You Drew Aggro on Every Single Piece of Hay and It Respawned at an Alarming Rate" but I can see why they went with something shorter. How about "Painful and Demoralizing Quest" or just save my time and call it "Skip This One".
