Mordigrim

Hello Lifted! I'm Craterhoof in-game or Mordigrim around the forums, Discord, etc (slowing transitioning to using Craterhoof everywhere to reduce confusion though). I'm happy you found us and that our Code of Conduct seems like a good fit for you. Speaking for myself, SoH has had nothing but a positive influence on my online gaming in the 8 years I've been here (sometimes I hear the Cheers theme song in my head when logging in to a game with SoH'ers, it's the craziest thing). So let's get to the get-to-know-you questions! Do you play any games outside of WoW Classic? What's your favorite activity to do with your daughters? If your significant other had to describe you in one sentence, what would they say? It's 1989 and nukes are aimed at us and we need a diplomat to talk down the foreign leader who's ready to blast us into the stone age but the only people available are Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair, and Jake the Snake Roberts. Who do you put on the phone to negotiate and why? Feel free to give me whatever questions you have too!

Hey Mord! Mord here. Have I introduced you to Mork yet? Mork, this Mord and that Mord talked in Discord today after this Mord saw that Mord's looking-for-Horde-guild post in the BSB'cord. Anyway, that's probably enough of that for now...

Oh hey! I can vouch for this one too.

One of my favorite quotes regarding WoW is from Chris Metzen when he said, "the main character of World of Warcraft is the world." Classic/Vanilla really captures that for me. In Modern WoW the player is the main character and everything is built around serving the player. You're an extraordinary hero doing mundane tasks. In Classic, you're just a random person in the world trying to get by and maybe eventually do extraordinary things. It's a very different design philosophy. I'm excited to just be in the old world again. You can absolutely hit me with any number of questions. When I was leveling up my first exotic was ACD/0 Feedback Fence and I wore them for-ev-er...because punching is fun. I got Hallowfire Heart not too long ago and that's been a fun one for me, I really like chucking hammers and flaming grenades at aliens so doing it more often is appealing (plus it looks awesome with the solar glow on the solstice set). I'd say if I had to pick my absolute favorite right now though it would be my Synthoceps. I just love to punch. I missed the weekend when Xur was selling One-Eyed Mask recently and have been kicking myself for that one. One of these days I'll get one though.

Well, you've got my vote!

Welcome to the SoH forums! I'm excited to get to know you! I'm Mordigrim around here and on modern WoW (as well as in most games I play) but I'll be maining a warrior named Craterhoof in Classic. Totally understand on voice chat. My computer is in our living room so that I can still be close to my wife and kiddo while I game but that means my voice chat is usually off or muted. We may use it for dungeons and other big group activities but no stress about having it off most of the time. What kind of fishing do you do? I live in mid-Missouri and enjoy fishing local ponds for largemouth bass. I'll also occasionally go crappie fishing with my father-in-law and one of these days I'm going to get a hefty rod/reel setup for hitting the Missouri river for big blue catfish. So we like to ask silly questions around here to start the get-to-know-you conversations. Feel free to hit me back with whatever you've got. Here's what I want to know: If you won a massive lottery jackpot, what's the first frivolous thing you would buy (i.e. not a house, car, pay off debt, etc)? What's your favorite unhealthy food and/or drink? If you had to compare yourself to one character from a movie, show, or book who would it be and why? Do you prefer disco or reggae?

Hello hello Skoogey! I also play Titan in D2! Us punchy types gotta stick together. So, few questions: What's your favorite enemy to punch in D2? If you had to identify one primary goal in WoW Classic, what would it be? What do you like better; pizza delivery or Chinese take-out? Explain your answer.

I'm getting Destiny Titan vibes. I approve.

Hello Zimion! Welcome to the SoH forums! I'm Mordigrim around here but will be Craterhoof in Classic. I am also married, have a 6yo myself, and I've also been waiting on Classic for forever! I can promise we have some cool folks to hang with but we gotta know that you're cool too. So... Favorite movie from before the year 2000 that is/was considered a bad movie by critics? Favorite artist or genre of music to listen to while in WoW battlegrounds or dungeons? If your spouse were to describe you in one sentence or less, what would they say? What about your kiddo? Favorite professional wrestler and why is it Macho Man Randy Savage? (Feel free to hit me back with whatever silly questions you might have too, I look forward to getting to know you!)

Hola, mi amigo! DiggeryK here is a real life friend of mine and I can vouch for him being a pretty cool dude.

That Sean is a pretty good guy. He gets my seal of approval.

I'm not blaming them for birthing the abomination that is emo, honestly I'm only mad at them for deceiving me with their name. The fact that they were one of the early bands to really gain popularity making emo music (even if everyone was calling it "post-hardcore" back then) is just fuel for the fire. And maybe it's just me but I was more distracted by his ears than his spitting. Perhaps I'm just used to seeing him with more hair so his ears have been less noticeable...but it seems to me like the top half of his ears are growing and becoming more droopy as the years pass.

Blues > Wild. Deal with it.

The game 6 win was amazing. I'm sure it was completely devastating from the other side of the field, but as a Cardinals fan I was in heaven. David Freese is my new favorite player because of this past post-season and that game specifically. It was a crazy run for St. Louis to come back from 10 games out of the Wild Card before the season ended. Also, Trivium \m/

They named their band after lyrics from a Misfits song. Then they made "post-hardcore" music that would go on to influence all modern emo bands. Makes no sense. They tricked me with their name long long ago and I've resented them for it ever since. And also...Yankees? Rangers? This thread needs a respectable baseball team in it.

This^. And this^. And most definitely this^.

He lies, he's my boyfriend. He doesn't belong to Kantankerous anymore. Kantankerous married Isti, so I'm calling dibs on Steve.

Inedit are you implying that living with me...can be murder...? (Insert ominous 90's "dun-dun-dun" style thriller music here) Thanks again for all the warm welcomes everyone. Seriously though, you guys are way too friendly, I keep waiting for the one downer to pop out of the woodwork. Between here and in-game, I don't think I've ever been welcomed so many times by so many people...lol.

Thanks for the welcomes! By inappropriate I meant "dirty", not racial or homophobic. It's very important for me to be in an environment where everyone is friendly and gets along, so I wouldn't jeopardize that by being intentionally offensive or generally uncivil. As of right now, I have no plans for tonight, so unless something important comes up between now and then I will be in-game this evening. In BC and WotLK I would BG on a regular basis and casually arena just for points, but I haven't really done either since Cata. I'm not opposed to PVP content, I actually enjoy BG's, but to be honest I'm not a very good PVP'er which is why I never got serious about arena. Typically when I'm not raiding I'm either goofing around on my many alts or playing League of Legends.

...but I'd be willing to give up on love if I could find a good 10man raid group. I am experienced in all current content, my current guild (Dystrophy) cleared 11/12 before disbanding. Or, more accurately, before merging with Errata. Unfortunately for me, Errata is a 25man guild, and I strongly prefer 10man raids. The only fight we hadn't downed was Nefarian and I'd like to blame group comp for that, we had a lot of trouble controlling the adds in p1. But that's neither here nor there. The point is, I know all of the current bosses and am ready to jump into a raid group. I'm currently playing as Demonology with Affliction as my off-spec. I know Demonology isn't the top spec in simulators right now, because of that I'm flexible about which spec I raid with, but Demonology is definitely my preference. My armory link is http://us.battle.net...digrim/advanced and if needed I can dig up Dystrophy's raid logs on worldoflogs.com for more info on my numbers output. I'm looking for a guild that has a relaxed and fun atmosphere. I need a place that has adult players that can handle my all-too-common foul language and my sometimes "inappropriate" sense of humor. I probably won't fit in well if people are easily offended. I also probably won't fit in if the raid leader or other raiders are prone to nerd-raging about things like mistakes mid-fight or wipes. I play to have fun and enjoy myself, not to get yelled at or be in a hostile environment. I like to get bosses down quickly and efficiently, but I want to have fun while I do it. It is a game, not a job. If there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask.
