Runzwithfire
My name is Runz and I'm a Troll Mage. I think I'm 29, but my guild keeps telling me I'm old, forgetful and incontinent so I could be wrong.
I’m currently a member of Darkened, a fairly hardcore progression guild on the Burning Steppes EU Realm, a PvP realm. Burning Steppes is an oft maligned realm due to population imbalances, a dodgy economy, under used realm forums, a lack of world PvP and other things. But to me it’s home, it’s where I go adventuring and it’s where my friends are.
I enjoy a nice sit down with a cup of tea and a choccy biccy.
I have two other toons:
Runswithfire (A 65 Tauren Warrior and my first ever toon)
Runswivdeath (A Tauren DK – I use him to sew things, take that Mr. Badass deathknight, you sew things now… sew me a dress! I mean robe!
I also make machinima when I can be bothered and I have the time, my youtube channel is here.
Oh and I'm English, I therefore use a multitude of words for fecal matter and use them all as nouns, verbs and adjectives.
How I got into WoW can all be found here.
Why Blog?
Good question, well presented.
I guess I blog for a lot of reasons. It kinda started as an idea to host my machinima on here. Unfortunately it takes a long time [for me] to make machinima and the site was not open to the public as it were because there was nothing here so I decided to do something with it. After all I was reading a wealth of blogs and thoroughly enjoying them. I’d make occasional comments but I soon realised I wanted my own platform to express my views and my opinions about stuff rather than just hijack someone else’s comments section (I tend to get a bit ‘wordy’ at times). On top of that, I’m pretty sure my guild was getting miffed with my constant stream of posts in the forums.
So in the end I decided I’d rejig the plan for my site a little bit, I can blog, I can share news and machinima I like with other people, I can collect together guides and impart some advice or I could just have a good old rant about stuff.
I do hope that people enjoy reading it, I hope the jokes go down well and my own little brand of English witticism is well received; I like making people smile. I’d love to see tons of readers and loads of regular hits but honestly, I guess I really write this blog for me (and for certain members in my guild).
Subject Matter
Dear God, whatever I feel like writing at the time lol. It tends to be WoW (or at the very least game) related and usually with a good mage perspective on things. I love writing about my guild because they’re just such a great bunch of people, I <3 them all.
General Topics include:
-
Raiding (specifically as a Mage although general raid stuff is included)
-
Mage News
-
A bit of theorycrafting
-
Useful websites and addons
-
Lambasting of not so useful addons (gearscore, I’m looking at you)
-
Machinima
-
Guild Life
-
Real Life (in relation to WoW and vice versa)
-
Discussion Topics (see Around The Water Cooler)
Well that’s me and my site, I hope you enjoy :)
