An afternoon is all it took to collect the 850 burning blossoms required for the new pet and the new toy.
Our hunters honored and desecrated the fires of Legion, Draenor, Northrend and Outland in order to collect the first 500 burning blossoms. We were short of 20, so we had to go to Hyjal and Twilight Highlands. Finally, we could go to Orgrimmar and buy the set of matches.
That’s the official version of what happened. Another version, however, is that Sardoken is so hot, he caught fire…
Our druids did almost the same tour to collect the remaining 350 burning blossoms, but they didn’t have to go further than Grizzly Hills, they had enough to buy the Igneous Flameling.
Yes, we made all our screenshots in the snow. Today was actually the first day that we could play World of Warcraft after almost 10 days of heatwave. It was still very hot, but it felt so good to play again. Our only wish is that we could have rolled ourselves in the snow of Frostire Ridge.
One of the things I love to do in World of Warcraft is “Fishing”. So, when they told me there would be a fishing artifact for Legion, I was absolutely thrilled. The only thing that worried me a little bit were the rumours about how hard it was to get it and that it required an insane amount of fishing. None of that was true!
Already while leveling, I was quite curious to see that famous floating island northwest of Dalaran and our new fishing hero named Conjurer Margos. I directly fished up a fair amount of Drowned Mana on the island to buy “Arcane Lure” from Margos and used that everytime I went fishing.
With the “Arcane Lure” active, you can catch rare bait that grants you a buff in order to catch the rare fish which are needed for the achievement “Bigger Fish to Fry”. What normally should have been a so called long and painful process, was actually a pretty fast and fun way to complete this achievement. Most of the rare baits just give a two minute buff, but some were pretty special and added a funny note to the usual fishing experience.
Once you’ve reached level 110 and completed the “Bigger Fish to Fry” achievement, you can fish up a Luminous Pearl. This pearl can only be caught in pools and will start the quest chain to obtain the fishing artifact. Follow its instructions and head over to Khadgar (Dalaran), he’ll give you the quest “The Dalaran Fountain”, which sends you to Marcia Chase. Once you turn this in, a pearl will appear in the fountain.
Normally, Nat Pagle should appear and offer you the “Fish Frenzy” quest. Note that he might not show up straight (with me he didn’t), after a quick relog and waiting for a minute, he’ll finally appear near the fountain. Accept the quest he gives, it’ll bring you into a three step scenario located on an island infested with murlocs. This scenario is pretty short, but real fun.
I won’t spoil anything, not to ruin the experience. Once you’re done with the scenario, you’ll be sent back to Marcia Chase and she’ll award you with the Underlight Angler!
Now, the real fishing in Legion can begin! You can upgrade the artifact by catching the same rare fish as for “Bigger Fish to Fry”. These rare fish will stop giving fishing xp from now on and will give artifact power instead. Also, don’t do like me and head out to your class order hall for upgrading this epic fishing pole! The artefact forge is the pearl at the Dalaran fountain. There, you can upgrade your pole.
Fishing certainly became more interesting in this expansion. I haven’t started upgrading my “Underlight Angler” yet. I wonder how long it will take.
Yes, you’ve read that right, we’re back! After a very long break from our blog, The Brutes have finally returned.
The last post we’ve made about WoW dates from the 6th of April 2015. After that, we started playing on and off, without posting anything about our adventures.
It all started in 2014, when we made a huge move to Brussels. We had bought a new construction appartment and Soforah had changed her job. Little did we know about all the problems that were awaiting us. The first year was all about the moving and fixing the poorly executed works.
When finally we thought that we would be settled in, a huge catastrophe happened to the appartment. No, we won’t go into detail, we prefer to turn the page on this plumbing nightmare.
We ended up being relocated from one airbnb place to another for months. Moving around huge PCs wasn’t an option since we don’t own a car. As a result, we couldn’t game for a long time (which seemed like an eternity).
In the summer of 2016, we finally moved back to our place. Unfortunately, it took us longer than we thought to settle back in. But what matters is that we’re back, and we won’t give up anytime soon!
Try to read what follows with a big voice, like in an action movie trailer:
Episode 1 – He was the ultimate killer, but he retired. Until the day they stole his car and killed his dog. He’s angry, and he’s on his way to give them the justice they deserve.
Episode 2 – He was forced to accept a last contract. And when he did, they betrayed him. He’s angry, and he’s on his way to give them the justice they deserve.
You see why I did a single review for the two chapters of John Wick… I’ll probably update this post, would a John Wick 3 ever come out.
However, the pitch may not be very deep, but the movies are entertaining. We’ve spent two evenings with Keanu, it was too warm to do anything else, and we had fun.
On a side note, it was fun seing Alfie Allen portraying a coward (again) and getting his ass kicked (again).
On a second side note, I spotted a C64 in the second John Wick. Instant bonus point for the movie.
“Four friends on their way to Coachella stop off in Los Angeles to tour true-crime occult sites, only to encounter a mysterious young runaway who puts them on a terrifying path to ultimate horror.”
That was the synopsis I found on IMDB… Here is my version:
“Four friends encounter a girl who makes a grafiti on their hotel wall before slashing her own throat. By doing so, she calls the Devil, who manifests himself by killing birds in a pool, sticking cuttlery on the kitchen ceiling and making very heavy footsep sounds.”
If that’s what people call “the ultimate horror”, then I’m Gandalf because there is even more horror in The Lord of the Rings.
We’ve watched this movie because it was presented to us as a very violent home invasion. Well, I haven’t seen such a softcore movie in ages… The violent scenes are hidden, not once do you see a person being stabbed or bludgeoned. You hear the screams, you see the blood splatters, but all violence is intentionally hidden.
Not only was it too soft, but it was also too slow. So slow that, sometimes, I wondered if I didn’t hit the pause button by accident. I think that they tried to privilege an ambiance of anguish over violence, but it only ended up being boring and slow.
Well, what can I say? Another specimen that now belongs on our “10 minute only” shelf. We’ve tried to go further than that, but it was just too unbearable to watch. All I can say is that it looks like a cheap rip-off of a Tarantino film.
My advise is to forget that Carnage Park ever excisted. So, move along now, nothing interesting to see here!
Rings is a pretty scary movie. Not for it’s effects, nor for the creepy apparition, but for that feeling of impending doom. You know that once you’ve watched the video, you’re going to die and there’s no way to run or hide from it. Something that scares me like hell.
I know that the movie received a lot of negative critisism saying that the story deviated too much from its’ original version. Me, on the other hand, found it refreshing to watch another version which left room for some elements of surprise and a nice plottwist at the end.
Another surprise was to watch Johnny Galecki playing another role than the famous Leonard Hofstadter in the Big Bang Theory. Unlike “Sheldon” (Jim Parsons), he managed to play a completely different character. All in all, the casting was excellent.
If you like movies like “It follows”, you most likely will like this one as well.
You travel to UK to take a job as babysitter. When you arrive, you realize that the kid you must babysit is, in fact, a doll and that the parents are obviously missing a few screws. Hoping for the best, you accept the job… (here comes the pitch that no one had seen coming) After a few days, you notice that something is odd with the doll.
Any stupid idea can be turned into a great movie. It isn’t the case with “The Boy”.
Wouldn’t have it been for Lauren Cohen, we wouldn’t have made it until the end. Unfortunately, good acting isn’t always enough to compensate a bad movie.
This movie is very well rated everywhere on the “great horror websites”, it’s a trap! I’m gonna spoil this one and I do it for your own good: You have to assist to an old friend reunion, a very depressive one. The kind of dinner I’d dread to be invited to, where people talk about their depression, the way they fought it, they play stupid games, laugh and cry,… The only thing that makes you keep watching it is the feeling that something bad is about to happen. And guess what, it happens (what a shock), but, to see it, you have to go through a solid hour of depressive boredom.
I’d advise you to save your evening and fast forward this movie to the end… Unfortunately, even the final scene isn’t that good. Better skip the entire movie and watch something else.
Oh, and I forgot, that woman on the picture chooses, as a way to commit suicide, to shoot herself in the belly. Just as you think that it can’t get worse…
