Hello Ctrl Alt Wow Darlings!

I've put an audio in the drop box for you, and here are the links I mention in the audio...hehe... love ya!!

/great big hugs!

Juuno







What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Pet Battles


Second account trying to catch up!
Dying after removing from battle
[Anubisath Idol]
Motes of Harmony

Isle of Thunder

On Nevikhoof

Ashayo

Melee Druid even worse over wireless. Maybe latency is why I dislike melee?

Pet battles good with bad internets. Levelled my Anubisath Idol

Transferred Druid flagged for name change?

Not as fun playing on small mac and no addons

Jeppy

Yo! For the show.

Hello my darlings,

Firstly apologies for once again being absent. I am currently having the NHS try and turn my frown upside down. From the rather gruesome video they showed me this seems to involve a hammer and sticky tape! I am assured it is for the best though.

The heat here continues to be a problem. As mentioned last week the spontaneous combustion of elderly folk has left blackened tweed stains all over the high street. I have found ice in the banana hammock keeps one cool though if somewhat artificially shrunken.

As promised to Big Steve and others I have tried to do something other than pet battle this week. This has included some monk levelling. I have to say that the monk is becoming my least favourite class. Just not really getting the hang of it. I will persevere though. I do like rolling and the flying kick is great of high places. An event for the Azeroth Olympics I think.

I also did a bit of PvP. Not in battlegrounds but over on my old PvP server. Talk about your pixelated hellfest!! I forgot just how hideous the experience can be. I did however get to see many new and exciting graveyards so mustn't grumble.

Of course pet battling did take place. I grabbed a crow and glow fly from the Darkmoon Fair. I also headed out to Thunder Isle. Have to say being back in a place where pretty much everything can kill you adds spice to life. Coming out of a battle to find yourself being bore down upon by a T-Rex certainly gets the heart pounding!

Ok well I will say goodbye for now. Hope you have a great show and I look forward to listening.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hola CAW crew!


I know we have not sent in very many submissions in quite a while, so you may have forgotten who we are. We are InMyOwnDreams, or "Dreams" for short, and her hubby Kithore.

We will try to send audio more often - it just happens that life has been quite the roller coaster ride for the last year or so...

As always, we hope that everyone is doing well in game and out of game!


Dreams and Kithore,
Dragonblight, Earthen Ring, and CoD



Sorry not much to report this fortnight awesome time to record by the way. Here’s my audio
Big G



Greetings, all!
So, I'm apparently not good at organizing myself to submit every single week. Oh well - I do what I can. :)
Here's an audio of what I've been up to the past couple of weeks.
Later,
Maggrathea



Hello CaW Crew,

This week's submission has been a last minute thing, i almost forgot,
cause i wanted to get as much as possible in, and i just now realized,
that if i don't start doing it now, it's going to be to late, and we can't
have that, so, i hope you enjoy it despite the lastminute effort.

Grand Nagus

P.S.: Where is my "J&P after dark"?, it's about time that one gets done:)


Hello CAW Crew!

Sorry no audio yet, didn't think you'd be recording so soon. I do have a few parody songs bouncing around in my head, but between actually playing WoW and theater haven't had the time to record it.

In the past few weeks both I and Morgaine leveled our CoD toons to 90, yay first level 90's horde side! I also leveled a few other toons to 90, mostly so I can start farming motes at halfhill. I've gotten back into the living steel market again with my characters on Kael'thas. It's good money whenever I find a good "unload" time.

Achievement wise, I got the Zookeeper title, which was very fun. Have like two or three captureable pets left to go. Then I get to start collecting the argent tourneys etc. It's a lot harder since I have no collector editions except mists.

I've gotten my friend Alan back into the game, and me and Morgaine have been leveling new alts with him. At some points I need to convince someone to log on Nevikhoof to add morgaines newest alt to the Ctrl Alt WoW Guild.


Anyways, thats been our last few weeks in WoW, I promise to get you a new song in the next few weeks, Grease Rehearsal has been kicking my butt.

For the Horde, For the Alliance, for the "Does anyone else find it weird that Eugene is older then Miss Lynch?"

Wren and Morgaine

PS: Whatever it is, It's Leeta's fault.

PPS: I've started work on creating a home arcade machine with my wii, since I never use it for anything else.


Shout Outs & Thank You

Hey gang! Had to get this in early! You all have a great weekend!

Hello Ctrl Alt Wow Darlings!  Aprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy and Tedra! And all our awesome guildies, contributors and listeners!  I hope you're all doing GREAT in and out of game this week...hehe.  Pixie and I are doing alright...unfortunately I don't have an audio for you this week (I'm sorry!) Mom is on "summer break" as my oldest brother and his family are up visiting her right now, so that's good.  No WoW for her for the next couple of weeks, she said... <=(  And I ended up taking last week off...didn't do any editing or playing...but I have a good reason also!  I'm working on my own little studio!  =D  Once I get it all done, I'll be able to shut the door to do my recording when I need to...yay!  It'll be fabulous!  So I hope you don't mind too much.  I know that Matahorn still carried on with our wonderful CoD Friday Night Guild Run, so that's awesome!  (thank you Mata!!!) I know Pontis was there (Hi Pontis!) but I'm not sure who else was able to join.  So...yeah....summer break has hit and messed up our schedule a little, but no worries, we'll be back soon!  Not this Friday, and possibly not even next Friday, but not too much longer.  Also, I should be able to get an episode of J&P out this week as well... <=D

Alright, off to catch some zzz's....

Great big hugs & kisses! *muah!*
We love you guys AND gals!
For the Horde, for the Alliance, and for summer break!!

Midsummer Questing

Hello to everyone at Ctrl-Alt-WoW!

Midsummer Fire Festival will have closed by the time of the podcast, and I had fun running toons of different levels through the quests. In the attached audio, the three "Volts," Voltandra, Voltessa and Voltantrum, talk about their Midsummer experiences. It's a little bit longer than Voltandra's usual submission, but I hope you'll just consider it as making up a little for missed episodes.

Enjoy yourselves, everyone - see you this week at the Darkmoon Faire!

Hello CaW crew!

Just wanted to write in and give a short update on things. I played a very little amount of WoW this week as my attentions were on other games I hadn't been able to play with bad internet for the past year. The Lord of Hell in particular had his claws into me. I was playing a large amount of Diablo 3 this week and even managed to make some real money doing it. D3 has a Real Money Auction House, and you can send money you sell items for to paypal, or straight to your Blizzard account balance to buy in game items, real plushies, or even game time. So i've been working on making that a "part time job" in that I can make a few dollars while having a good time, and that's working out quite well.

I did manage a bit of progress on my Panda Monk, however. I managed to get Yeiro to level 50. I will probably manage a little bit of time on him this weekend as well. Although, I am headed to the wine trail in Michigan for a few tastings and a stop into Founder's Brewery in Grand Rapids on Saturday with some friends to refill my panda brew kegs (I won't be smashing any of these!) and have a few delicious cigars with a good friend. So not too much WoW is likely to happen.

Anyway, hope you're all doing well and having good summers. I'll be sure to try to make to a live show and be in the chat sometime soon.

- Dan




Dynamic Duo FTW!!

Helloooo Sweeties,
Here's my audio :) have an awesome show!
Huggles galore
Love Leeta xoxo



Hello Aprillian, Ashayo, ElJeppy and Tedrah,

Here is my audio for the week, a little shorter then usual, i hope you can forgive me,
i promise to do better again in the future.

Grand Nagus.

P.S.: I really liked the interview Leeta did with our ElJeppy on ...... her show.
I hope this isn't a pattern to follow, all the contributers doing their own shows now,
i don't think the world is ready for a show by Big G or, god help us, ME!!!

Cya all.

Hello once again C.A.W crew

First of all i wanna say congrats to all my fellow Zookeepers. Kinda funny that now that WoW has its own version of Pokemon nobody in my guild thinks I'm the crazy pet guy. OK maybe they still do, but they kinda see a purpose in all my pet wrangling. Now that I've acquired 520 or so unique pets I'm just glad i no longer need to fill my bank slots with critters or explain why I'm not looting anything cuz my bags are full of "lucky" pets.

Anyways enough of the pet stuff. A couple of weeks ago I decided to start up a couple of horde characters since I've never had a chance to see the WoW story unfold from the horde point of view (at least not since pre-burning crusade). Boy have I missed out on a lot of cool lore just focusing on the alliance and I think I've found a new favorite race in the Trolls. My only real complaint is that even without heirlooms I think leveling is a little too fast. It's already time for me to set out through the dark portal and i didn't even get a chance to finish questing on Kalimdor. I am starting to get a little lonely since i couldn't convince my buds to join me on the dark side, but hey it's their loss right?

OK before I head back into SSC for the umpteenth time (stupid Coilfang Stalker) I just want to say that I really look forward to C.A.W. every week and you guys are awesome. Also mad props to Juuno and Leeta for their podcasts. They are excellent additions to the WoW podcast universe =)

Here you go gang! It was great seeing so many guildies on this 4th of July weekend.
Thanks to Pontis, Tedra, Melindraya, Matahorne. and Zikar for taking me and Lisa through AQ40 on Friday night!
It was a bit hectic for us because I didn't have a mic and Lisa couldn't hear me cause she had her headphones on with a mic. And we forgot to empty bags. Sheesh!
Lol Its all on me, I was totally unprepared. We will be next time so thanks gang for running us through!
Take Care!
