[EmberVlog] Makin' CDs WOO! And Play MCNext!

Patch 5.4.8
Thank you for all your continued support on Patreon! http://patreon.com/isolte I am really excited about making CDs for my $10+ Patrons and if you play Minecraft, come play with me on Athene's GamingForGood server: MCNext! All the info about the MCNext mods can be found at MCNext.net as well as the public server address. It's pretty different than a normal Minecraft server, but it's really fun IMO. See you there!!!

[LIVE Highlight] Throw Back Thursday - A Link To The Past

Patch 5.4.8
Started streaming again and made some noob streamer mistakes, but I thought this clip was highlight-worthy. The black area to the left was supposed to be the livestream chat room, but my monitor fell asleep. *Turns off power save function* >_< And my audio delay wasn't set right, so my voice is slightly ahead of the game audio! But that'll all be fixed before the next live stream! :3

Follow me on Twitch!

Happiness, damn it!

Patch 5.4.8
After a ton of thinking (and pining over my inactive WoW subscription) I decided to reactivate it. Although money is still scarce and the job hunt still depressingly unfruitful, the kindness of friends and even some strangers recently has gotten me to realize some things about the way I've been living my life. This last year in particular, I've come down on myself way too hard about unemployment, weight gain, and a slough of other things so much so that I stopped doing the things that I love because I began to see them as a waste of time since they weren't making me any money or getting me back in shape. The lack of games, singing, and generally fun things I used to enjoy has just plunged myself deeper into depression, away from the people that I love, and further away from all my life goals.

I'm not sure if I have what it takes right now to be a full-time live-streamer or YouTube content creator and make a living off of gaming, but I am partnered on Twitch and YouTube. The prospect of making a few dollars while playing WoW is better than no WoW and no income at all, right? *sigh* We'll see how this goes. My self confidence has plummeted even more than I ever thought it could over this past year in general (with randomly few and far between spurts of positivity), but I really do believe that I am on my way to recovering now.

As a tiny step forward, I took some time to redesign the header on this blog and I am a lot happier with it. (The header graphic is no longer static, and the old advertisement-looking slider has become the new header) :3 Hopefully, just looking at it will remind me of what I used to love about why I got involved in the WoW community to begin with.

WoW > IRL

Patch 5.4.8
Hey people! I'm not dead I swear! I just [unlike the title of my blog] have not been playing WoW lately. XD I miss it so much though and thanks to my friend Gavin on Twitter I got to pop online and hang out in Azeroth for a short while last month. Money has been quite tight for me as of late and my WoW subscription was a necessary budget cut. Wish me luck in life so that I may come back soon! Thanks!

[EmberVlog] Long Time No See!

Patch 5.4.2
http://youtu.be/nOuONYnCjpg

Also, I had this idea to start a Wiki specifically for information about WoW-Machinima-YouTubers, maybe we can finally have a central info hub for our ever changing community!? http://wow-machinima.wikia.com Let me know what you think!

What A Mess, Google!

Patch 5.4.2

Oh Google, how I hate thee. Let me count the ways... Just kidding. I don't hate Google, but I have been extremely unhappy with the way they run things lately. You all probably know by now about how Google is forcing YouTube users to attach a Google Plus account if they want to be able to leave comments on videos. Personally, I am all for integration! The idea of putting my Google Plus account to use made me very happy to know that I'd be able to broaden my audience to those people who choose to use Google Plus rather than Facebook for example. :3 The one thing I am not all for is when integration ends up f*cking things up. XD

Pandaria [WoW Parody]

Patch 5.3
I proudly present to you my newest WoW cover song! (The original song is "Disturbia" by Rihanna.) I am extrememly proud of this one because not only did I write and perform the song, but I created the entire machinima video as well! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

If you really enjoyed the song and machinima, please consider tossing a tip into my tip jar! Thank you!

Blah.

Patch 5.3
Hi. I'll make this post quick:
  • I've decided that my [Mog Mondays] are a lot more work than they're worth. Not planning on doing those regularly anymore.
  • The vlogs every Wednesday are just not happening either. Too much mental angst and personal issues preventing me from keeping up with them. No matter how much people tell me they love watching them, I still hate myself too much to enjoy actually recording them regularly.
  • I leveled a blood elf Prot Paladin to 90 in 5 days /played. (Roughly 2 weeks.) I adore her. And I loved playing a prot pally SO MUCH that I might even finish leveling my Human Paladin soon!
  • I am opening for art trades. But I am very picky about who I'll trade with. If you wanna trade, link me your DeviantArt (or other art site) with samples of your work. And if I don't want to trade with you, well... deal with it. My DeviantArt is: http://emberisolte.deviantart.com/. Trades are limited to sketches, no color, not digital, and if you can't settle for an iPhone pic of my sketch, don't ask to trade with me. (I plan on scanning art in when I have better access to a scanner, it's just really inconvenient lately.)
Thanks for reading my crap.

Cheers,
Negative Nancy
