Interview with QQ Premades

by Saate on Jan.23, 2010, under Interviews

Folks across the Bloodlust Battlegroup will no doubt be familiar with “LFM QQ Battleground Premades: Good fun, easy honour, need vent. 80s only, cross-realm, PST for info!” appearing in their trade chats over the last few months. After having run with them and joined up with them as a member, Serephim suggested we contact the guys who run it for an interview.

I was immediately intrigued – I’d seen the messages in trade chat but had no idea how it all worked. Cross Realm Premade PvP? Not only do they manage to coordinate it all but they maintain an amazingly high win rate! Serephim and I caught up with the founder, QueueQ, and his right hand man, Zevia, to chat about their runaway success.

Interview with Baron Soosdon

by Saate on Oct.19, 2009, under Interviews

Baron Soosdon REALLY hated those murlocs.

A few weekends back Serephim and I were lucky enough to catch up with Baron Soosdon, the famous WoW Machinima maker. For those unfamiliar with the term, ‘Machinima’ is a marriage of the terms ‘Machine’ and ‘Cinema’ and has come to represent the fast growing movement of player-created gaming movies.

What originally began with simple screen captures of in-game events with basic text overlayed has blossomed into an intricate, beautiful and delicate art form of which Baron Soosdon is a master. This was a really fun interview and I hope you’ll enjoy reading and listening to it!

Astrylian’s Rawr!

Astrylian's Rawr!

Some time back while hanging around Ironforge on a lazy weekend afternoon I received a whisper from a lower level character about my gear. It turned out that this mystery person had a druid main and we had a good chat about being feral tanks. Later in the conversation we got on to talking about choosing the best gear for our roles and he asked if I’d heard of a program called ‘Rawr’. Imagine my surprise when I learned his main was Astrylian and the software was his creation!

So from a chance meeting that afternoon to an interview with Penfold and I, I’m very pleased to present my latest article.

Palehoof’s Perceptions

by Saate on Aug.28, 2009, under Interviews

Sensing some kind of strange parallel at play, the Devilsaur wisely chose to not eat Palehoof.

As long time patron of the official WoW forums, Palehoof’s contributions were recognised by Blizzard back in 2005. He was was of the first to be appointed a Community MVP. I was keen on finding out more about what exactly that meant, and how it came about.

On one very early Saturday morning recently, Serephim and I caught up with Palehoof to get the answers to all our questions and much much more.

Warla’s Reputations

by Saate on Jul.20, 2009, under Interviews

Most exalted gnome ever! :p

He’s been a long time idol of mine since very early vanilla when screenshots of his reputation tab were passed around on the forums due to his insane numbers of exalted reputations. One of the first people in the world to ever obtain a cross-race mount way before runecloth turnins and rep increases were ever put into the game.

Serephim and I caught up with Warla to chat about his crazy reputation bars.

I'm on your raven lord mounts, stealing your achievements!

He’s currently ranked 7th US-Wide with a whopping 9530 achievement points. This week I was lucky enough to catch up with Desperada, from the Staghelm realm, to have a chat about his obsession with achievements and find out a bit more about what drives him.
