Ember the Artist

Patch 4.3.4
Howdy folks. Long time no blog. But I'm all over Twitter and Facebook while I'm away from blogging and YouTubing, so if you've been following me over on those social networks what I have to say here now won't be as exciting for you to read. =p I just wanted to update you blog peeps on what I've been up to lately regarding WoW. =]

I'm drawing again!

Small Update and For the Horde?

Patch 4.3.4

My lvl 85 super slexy orc shaman

Isolte has been fairly busy getting to know her guild-mates this past month and for the first time in her little draenei life she finally defeated a boss while the end-game content was still current! Haha! Yes, I finally downed [Madness of Deathwing] and even more exciting: I won the super rare [Reins of the Blazing Drake]!!! Thursday, May 10 was an exciting day: I wrote, recorded and released a new parody, killed Deathwing, AND won the mount?! All in a day!? I'm obviously still in disbelief. And I truly believe I won the mount roll because of the fact that I released a new parody since I've been long overdue for one, and the WoW gods smiled down upon me that day! =3

And with the release of Diablo III this last Tuesday the 15th, a great many of my guildees have been absent from Azeroth! My server is far from deserted, but since everyone and their mothers are playing D3, I decided that it was a good time to level up my Horde shaman! She's only my second level 85 toon ever and she's geared for regular heroics at the moment. I hope to someday play with some horde friends now that I have a max level horde character. ^_^ I really couldn't bring myself to faction change my main, so this was the only alternative! XD

Some of you who have seen my past livestreams may have noticed that my hordie is an orc now! She used to be a troll for the "pretty" factor, but I never really felt like she suited me very well, so I race changed her and I've never felt more at home with being a horde. =3

Update: Server Transferred AGAIN?

Patch 4.3.4

It's kind of a funny thing when things are going well for me in-game because those times tend to be the times that you hear from me the least! Since my last update, I've started attending a local WoW Meetup IRL, I've transferred servers (yet again lol), joined a new guild, and have actually set foot in a [Dragon Soul] 10 Normal with people I'll be raiding with on a regular basis! And right now, I've finally stolen a moment before logging in and getting consumed by the game to fill you in on my latest WoW shenanigans!

Livestream Update: Green Screen'd

Patch 4.3.3
First of all, to those of you who have been anxiously awaiting my next live stream, I thank you for your patience. Many people have been asking me when my next stream is going to happen and I keep saying, "Soon™." Well, the answer is still "Soon™" but it is a much closer "Soon™" than the first one. XD Hehe. So, some of you may know that I'm not what most people would call a "professional gamer" and I don't intend to be one.. ever. But I do consider myself a part-time entertainer. I am still just an amateur however, and since gaming and streaming are just a hobby for me I don't yet have a set schedule for my live streams. I stream when I have the time and the drive, and to be completely honest with you I just haven't had the drive lately. BUT, I'm here to tell you that my motivation to stream again is coming back stronger than before and I've got to say that it's your persistence in asking me to stream again that is really, really helping! Seriously, you are the only reason I even want to stream. XD

Livestream preview screencap

With that said, I decided to "go pro" (or at least feel like one) *giggle* and green-screen it up just like the major streamers like Athene and Swifty. I've been meaning to do this ever since I started dabbling in streaming games so many months ago so that my viewers wouldn't have to look at my room-in-a-box in a corner of the screen and so that I could be a lazy bum and not have to tidy up my room for you viewers as well! Lol. So finally yesterday, everything came together! And the coolest part is: I built the stand for the green screen myself!!! Details and more pictures behind the cut... =]

Thank You!

This song is from the perspective of that skilled player who just happens to have a bad internet connection at the time, getting booted from raids, dungeons, matches, whatever. XD

I'm like, "Wha..?"

Patch 4.3.0

I'm starting to livestream again more regularly than evAr, so be sure to join me and friends in the chat! http://athenelive.com/ember Planning for 6pm PST daily, but don't hold me to that too strictly XD. *giggles*

Black March to Protest Internet Censorship!

Patch 4.3.0

If you're following me on any other social networks, I thank you for dealing with my major cross-posting but I really want to get the word out everywhere I can because I believe we can really do this. I'm uploading this image about the Media boycott the internet is calling "Black March" on every social network I personally use to encourage my social circles to further protest Stop Online Piracy Act, Protect IP Act, and Internet Censorship in general! We NEED a free and open internet!

SOPA & PIPA

Patch 4.3.0

If you don't know what SOPA is by now, here's a very informative post on SOPA (and PIPA) from the official reddit blog: http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/technical-examination-of-sopa-and.html.

As of now there is little I can personally do other than to make more people aware of the SOPA situation. So, I'm joining the internet protest with a "STOP CENSORSHIP" banner over my blog's header image. Depending on how things pan out, I may leave it there longer than the 24 hour "internet protest". For now, SOPA has been "shelved", but it doesn't mean that legislation can't and won't slip parts of SOPA into new bills up for vote, and PIPA (Protect IP Act) is still to-be-voted-for on January 24th. So, please click the "STOP CENSORSHIP" banner to sign the e-petition, send a letter to Congress, and if you're not in America you can even petition the state department in your country via the banner link (http://americancensorship.org/).

Without going into crazy detail, my personal stance on SOPA is this:

1. It won't stop movie and music piracy at all. [period] I honestly don't believe it will even slow it down in the slightest.
2. It's bad for business. Start-ups and e-businesses will have a dramatically more difficult time setting up any kind of website because of the need to prepare for potential offending links on forums for example, and they'll need to be careful on which sites they themselves advertise on.
3. The vague language in the actual bill is obviously vulnerable to be abused.

Let's hope that this internet protest will open more eyes to the SOPA situation and get our congressmen to KILL SOPA all together.

First Vlog of 2012

Patch 4.3.0

I hope everyone had fun and safe celebrations for New Year's! Last night, I streamed some WoW and a flash game called "Happy Wheels" on AtheneLive.com/ember for the first time to ring in my New Year, and I decided to kick off the year on YouTube with this tiny vlog. Enjoy! ^_^

Finally found a home for my stream!

Patch 4.3.0

Hey everyone! After trying out Livestream.com, and Twitch.tv... I've finally found a home for my broadcast with Own3d.tv! Huge thanks to all of you viewers for being so patient with me and my sporadic testing-out all these websites, because I know how annoying it is to register new accounts just to be able to chat with me and the other viewers on different sites. But rest assured that I won't be switching for a really long time (if ever) because of the amazing things that are happening with me, Own3d.tv, and ...drum roll please... AtheneLive.com!

I got to be a dragon! ..sorta.

Patch 4.3.0

***SPOILER ALERT***

If you haven't seen the Deathwing "end-game" cinematic and you're a lore buff, I suggest that you don't watch this video. But if you know about what happens after Deathwing dies, then please enjoy this humorous take on what happens next. Scripted, machinimated, and voiced by THE Myndflame, featuring my petty voice talent as Alexstrasza herself, please enjoy "The Day After the Cataclysm Ended"! (I hope I did the Life Binder justice!) XD

More Live Gaming Broadcasts

Patch 4.3.0

After finding out that Livestream.com is not as free as they advertised (by finding out the hard way--that they ALLOW you to go over the "free" bandwidth limit), I started broadcasting with Justin.tv a.k.a. Twitch.tv. So, there shall be more of me live-streaming WoW (and possibly other games, including some old school SNES and Wii games since there will be a video capture card in my possession in the very near future ^_^...)

For a little taste of stream footage, I put together this video advertising my stream on YouTube. Please enjoy!

BlizzCon Vlogs - Part 5

Patch 4.3.0

Ok, I have to warn you: if you don't enjoy the "F" word, please DON'T watch this video because I probably said it way too many times to even sound like a normal person. =/ With this video, I've realized just how often I swear in public and how stupid I sound as a result. So with that said... For those of you that want to watch, in this video I met Athene and his crew. It blew my mind so much that I couldn't get over it.
