Message in a Mage NetherBottle

Dear Fim & Bre,

It is Fim and Bre right?

Not an Orc in Fim’s clothes or a lock in Hunter’s leathers?

Anyway long time ListeNether, 1st time NetherWriter. Thought I would drop you a line.

Sorry I didn’t port in “Gnome”, but while your recording time is a nice casual midday Saturday down here in the depths of Gnomeregan (otherwise known as Melbourne, Australia) you conflict with my primary raid crew – my family.

Unfortunately Gnome Junior would want to do all the talking, and Mrs Gnomeaggedon would be using her epic mace to destroy her end game raid boss – my PC.

So the best you are going to get from me is a message in a Mage’s Nether bottle.

Blah, blah, blah….

Ever noticed now much Gnomes talk, on and on and on and on and ….

I was thinking today, that when I started blogging about 10 months ago, I did so because there were no Mage blogs out there…

None, absolutely none.

I found a lot of craters.

Mage blogs that had lit up in a major flash of light, leaving flaming trails through Google, but when traced back to their source there would be nothing but a shriveled up corpse of an expended Mage.

OK, that isn’t true, but it took a bit of hunting to find the likes of QQ, Tunas, He who Sheeps Things, Sucky Mages and of course my favorite Pink Pigtailed Gnome.

In time I discovered a few more bloggers that somehow Ice Blocked themselves from the OP Mage induced cataclysm, such as Tachyon, Fireball Spam and Andromache.

Blah, blah, blah… I do go on, don’t I.

Mage Council reformed

Anyway, these days we have a much stronger presence in the InterNether: PewPewLaserz, Desdarii, your TNB Magely stalker, KrizzlyBear, even the recently risen from the grave Zupa (there are more.. but for the sake of keeping this email/post about the same length as your average Night Elf, I will stop there).

With Dalaran come Mages

In an effort to redress the imbalance of Druid and Hunter blogs out there I thought I would bring some new Mage blogs to your attention that have appeared since the return of Dalaran

After all, what other Mage news do you guys have to share… Another polymorph?

• A Mage’s Guide to Life
• Clearcasting: a moment of clarity
• Morfaboy: The Gnome mage with pink hair
• Polymorphpwny
• Reputation Grind
• Diary of an (Ex?) WoW Addict
• Miss Elf
• The Arcane Asylum: Better Living Through Magic
• Tiddlywinks

Edit: A few more Magey blogs (some mixed) that I have discovered since writing the mail to TNB)

• Slushbolt: A Mage resouce… and stuff
• /yawn
• Beyond the Horizon

Of course there is the new and groovy WoWHeadlines’ Mage page as well!

Edit2: Yes I go on.. but I thought I would drop an honorable mention for Player vs. Developer.  Much more than a Mage, or even WoW blog… but tell me… can you see a family resemblance between me and his photo below?

PS: I kept a copy of this message and I will post it to save you linking everyone in the show notes…

PPS: Dear Larisa, the real reason I won’t be on TNB is cause I go on, and on and on. No one will listen to 3 hours of Gnome.

PSP: Gnome’s rock Gnomeregan!

PPSS: Mage’s rocked Dalaran!

PeePee: Did you see that For the Horde tried Grab your Sword and Fight the Horde!, and rolled Gnomes? If it’s good enough for the Horde, it’s good enough for you!

PeePeeSeeSee: I do go on…. don’t I?

P2P: I don’t have word or image limits in my blog posts either… Just in case you haven’t noticed.

PblahSblah: BLIZZARD give me my engineering flying mount for my 15 engineering Gnome racial… I used to sleep with a toy flying machine on my pillow as a little Gnome. You tease me constantly in Northrend with engineering flying machines!

So where oh where, for the love of all things Gnomish, is my mechanical pilot’s license?

Mmmm there must be more… But for now….

Gnomer and Out!
