This was to be a night away from colosseums, Old Gods, and crazed Scourge. Kailand and his rowdy team looked to the dwelling beneath Wyrmrest, seeking a rematch with the furious Twilight Drakes. We got it, and as a result? We got even!
Congrats to all, and grats Holyssa on winning the first of what is hopefully many drakes for our team!
Congratulations to Kailand and his team on their grand kill! RAWR!
Ozzy closes Blizzcon.

Before rock legend Ozzy Osbourne took the stage at the closing ceremonies of BlizzCon 2009, he didn't know "what the ###### to expect" from an audience full of gamers.
Ozzy Osbourne took the stage around 7:45 PM at the Anaheim Convention Center to help bring BlizzCon 2009 crashing to a close. Thousands of fans screamed along as he burned through classic songs like "Iron Man", "Paranoid", "War Pigs", and the song featured in Blizzard's World of Warcraft ad, "Crazy Train." Ozzy seemed to be having a great time on stage, bowing to the crowd when he wasn't spraying them with a fire hose, but he wasn't so sure about the BlizzCon gig going into it.
"Coming here (unintelligible) to the show tonight I thought, "They're all gonna be like scientists and ###### brain brain (unintelligible) ###### audience." Glasses wearing spectacles and coke bottles. I didn't know what the ###### to expect. I kept saying to my wife Sharon, "Sharon, do you think you'll like me? Do you think they'll understand what I'm about?" And it was even better than some gigs I've done. It's a gift that I've had a good life through music."
The audience definitely understood what Ozzy was all about, singing along with all of his music - songs that were released before many of them were born. I was ushered behind the stage halfway through the set, where Ozzy's enjoyment of the crowd was evidenced across the countless video monitors scattered about the control area. Some time after the music went silent I was ushered into a well-furnished back room, where the aging rocker sat court in a chair that might as well have been a throne for the man's presence. As he talked, he's hands shook, but his eyes never wavered behind his tinted circle shades.
I marveled with the man over the fact that his music has been embraced by the gaming culture - one that didn't even exist when he started his career.
"This video game where they play the guitar - my son is like "Hey dad, you gotta play this game." He's up for three days playing this game. The Rock Band people told me that up to a billion people play that game. A billion ###### people. That's a lot of ###### mouths. It's incredible. I doubt that many would buy my albums. You've gotta embrace it or you'll fall by the wayside."
And embrace it he has, though I'm not so sure he wasn't already one of us, if only in spirit. When I asked about the people wandering about it costumes - the scantily clad girls in blue paint and horns?
"I think it's ###### great. It's like the Star Wars bar."
Did Ozzy just make a Star Wars reference? Perhaps we're not so different after all
As the March Moon begins to rise this evening Morgh finalizes his decision and makes his mark on the appointment of the new Elder of CONQUESTS that will replace Baracko as he moves to the role of Longtooth.
"He has led many on quite a few adventures into uncharted darkness for the Clan aye?"; comments Galam more in a statement than in a question.
"Yup....and he will again Galam...just from a different role and with different responsibilities."; replied Morgh as he curled up the declaration and placed the Clan Skullcrusher seal across its tethered cord.
"And your replacement....a Blood Elf....thier sharp tongue has an edge to it...not worried it may cut some?"; Galam asks as he hands the only Peon Promotion to Morgh to approve.
*Looking at Galam with a raised eyebrow*
"Same was said bout da deadies long ago....seems to have settled well....Holyssa knows well enough the challenges of communication and there be no othah that has so often stepped up and rallied the Horde against old adversaries as well as prepared for new. These days fill with book smart learnun now mur den da days of trials of sword and spell against these new lands adversaries.....Holyssa will lead well and in temperment tu."; Morgh replies as he finishes stamping the Peon Promotion.
"Here...take these and have Du und Katzimoto prepare things for the Blood Stone ceremonies.....I need you in Northrend still Galam....you need to get YOUR new training going....and you still have both eyes...so you cannot blame your reading skills on your slow progress!"; commanded Morgh firmly.
"Ehhhe hehehehe Galam slowbow....hehehehe"; Galams Imp Zhar'nos giggles.
*ZWAAAAPpppzzzz*
AARrrrrrggghhh.....Shush!!!"; bellows Galam as he banishes Zhar'nos into submission.
Galam begins out and down toward the clammoring of Grunts and Bosses sparring in the Clan Barracks area. Looking about for Du and Katzimoto...it is not long till he hears Katzimoto yell as he is flung through an archway to land upon a nearby table.
"oohhh...howdy der boss mon....we just be playun."; Katzimoto says with a smile as he rolls sorely off the table.
Du standing at the end of the hall under the arch obviously irritated begins to complain then cuts short his tirade.
"IB YU EBER PUT FIREFLY GEL IN ME PANTZ AGIN....."
Galams quick stare ends the conflict and covers the details of the upcoming ceremony to be prepared for.
Elder Baracko will be...
RAWR!! Goodluck in the sand, Eigun! You will be missed!
