What We've Been Doing:



Aprillian

I ran the Love Dungeon on level 91 Shadow Priest as a healer and even though I kept running out of mana, I whacked a mole on healbot and no one died. And then ran it again on a level 29 Fury arms warrior as tank. Makes me want to try some timewalking dungeons.2

Queue long on Alliance side, oh yeah it was tuesday, they were in schooll

-Druid level 80, 4 dungeons solo this week, no Exp buff other than the double rested.  Trained for herbalism to 600, current content is Vashj’ir, Enchanting has leveled to 450, need  to quest so i can DE Cataclysm greens for the Haste enchant at 455.
-Hoping to get Troll druid to 100 so i can get some Draenor Honor Kills for the Gladiator sanctum on my Rogue’s Garrison.
-Multibox farming herbs in Cataclysm areas, pick the herb twice on separate servers to speed up collection, the Demon Hunter on Earthen Ring 1 shots everything.
  • Skirmish 1/10 on the rogue, no idea how people complete this quest, my rogue is 2 or 3 shot squishy, even with Protection warrior the Defensive seem almost useless against Druid, Warlock, Pally and Demon Hunter.  Can’t vanish against Demon Hunter, popular Class in Arena Skirmishes.
  • World Quest Group Finder! ADD-On has had an update Robou has brought the latest version 0.21.3 to patch 7.1.5, the ADD-On asks you if you wish to list or Join a premade group upon entering an area and once you’ve completed the quest the ADD-On will ask you if you wish to leave the group or stay a bit longer to help teammate complete their objectives.  This ADD-On was mentioned on “The Training Dummies” podcast a few weeks ago, big shout out to them for mentioning it on their show.
  • Grinding Hard for Emissaries Caches on my main to aquire essences of Aman-Thul to get the legendary gloves upgraded to 940 from 910, currently sitting at 38, started the week at 25, a few LFR’s left to run as well
  • Got 2 set pieces drop in 3rd wing of Nitehold, one was a duplicate with Indestructible buff, so some nice upgrades, rocking out my 2 piece bonus with 2 legendaries at the moment iLvl 872, using AskMrRobot ADD-On for best in bag feature on the Premium account.

Hello everyone!

Hope all is well.  I got a new/used desktop!  I can now move on from my old Windows Vista, duo core 32bit system, 3 gigs ram, and ATI 3200 graphics card to an i5, 16 gig ram, GTX 970 graphics card, with Windows 10.   I know it's not the best or highest specs, but it is far FAR better than what I had and it was at a good price, so I'm calling that a win.

I haven't actually taken the computer out of the box yet, that's this weekend's task.  Hopefully.  If all goes well I should be able to be playing WoW on a quality far better than the "not even toaster" quality I had before.  Maybe I won't lag during world bosses anymore.

Today's clip is from episode 291, and it's actually just Junno's segment.  I was entertained, and I hope you are too.  I'll have more clips from 291 next week :)

Not dead just busy
Sorry for the lack of audio and or feed back on recent shows I'm still listening just been busy with work and real life stuff. Mostly just been playing hearthstone and updating my add ons on the gaming front on the work front we had our head cook go so it's been all hands on deck for a few weeks now. Plus the trip home cost me another week of gaming got to play with farm animals thoe and play with some loud toys. My lil brother got a lil upset as I was better with the loud toys than he and it's been almost ten years since I last played with one. On a completely different subject Dreams is once again on the look out for co-hosts for her show oh my goodness not another podcast. I of course once again offered my services she is slightly hesitant to have me on again so I'm asking all the CaW fans to submit to @omgnap on twitter and omgnap@gmail.com so that dreams can find a spot for me on the show #DreamsGspot or subject secure the G spot so that way she will know you want me on her show.

P.s that last part may be edited from the podcast but hopefully the live listens take up the cause

For the Horde

For the alliance

For the Sandgropers

And for helping Big G get a spot on Dreams podcast

Remember #DreamsGspot

Hello Ctrl Alt Wow crew,
  Well I feel I have been on a 1 month adventure with our friend Vrishna. I know you are all looking at me weirdly so let me explain.
   It all started on Friday the 13th of January or Saturday the 14th if you were in Australia. We all started new toons to run a special tribute to Vrishna. My Blood Elf Hunter was called Matarishna. That way I felt the character was half me and the other half was Vrishna. I found out that Vrishna had never made it to the new level cap so before the tribute run I decided that Matarishna would be my next 110 character.
    To stay in the spirit of my character I listened to a lot of old episodes of Ctrl Alt Wow when Vrishna was on it. I actually started on the New Years episode where Aprillian was drunk, fantastic episode. I could sometimes feel I had Vrishna next to me while I played.
So as of Thursday afternoon on the 16th of February my new Character Matarishna finally Dinged 110. I have decided that this will be my first toon I level up in all future expansions that way I feel that Vrishna will be part of the game in the future.
  Anyway I hope to see you in game.
  For the Bunnies! (See I am still channeling Vrishna)
From Matahorn


Hello everyone,

Happy weekend everyone!

I can't believe I have been teaching high school physics for over a month now.  I am at the part of my student teaching program when I take over the classroom and become the lead teacher for an entire quarter.  So far so good.  Just very tired juggling full-time teaching, a couple classes of my own, and tutoring on the side.  Sadly, little time for WoW because of this.  Spring break is only a month away though, and I will be treating myself to a WoWcation during that week.

This week's clips are from episode 289 and include Aprillian's first adventures in Pandaland, a fun story of Aprillian and Shhamaya in Wailing Caverns, a musical email from rougeslayer, and leeta needs an intervention with pets.  I hope you enjoy them!

May the Dark Lady smite your foes!

--Kyle
