Hey Ladies, good show once again! The deal of OnLive is they have a bunch of super-powerful servers running the game you want to play and they only show you a live streaming video of the gameplay, which accounts for the lag. If they squash that down as small as possible then theoretically you could even play it on a crappy netbook. Theoretically.
And I’d name my horse Ralph. That’s my pet name du jour.

I’d name mine Miss Epicurious Fizzlebottom. The reason why is the answer to the question, What do Celestial beings eat? so She’s Epicurious and eats anything, kinda like a goat but don’t let her know I said that. That’s also how she got her fizzlebottom moniker. Eating gnomes and random things around Azeroth gives you indegestion, hence the star dust farts. Its a girls name cause All dudes name their mechano-hogs girls names.

With respect to the girls are always healers discussion I have a few remarks. As a male healer I don’t really get it. Healing for me has always been a more challenging and fun experience. When I ran with my guild I would constantly get crap for playing a healer, but that was just the type of guild it was and because I play a female Nelf. I suppose it doesn’t matter when I can basically choose what and who I want to run with and its just become a sort of WoW cultural thing to do.
As I mentioned before I do play a Nelf called Moonwisher. The i was going to name her Wellwisher after the Magic: the Gathering card but that was taken and my thought process basically went, “hey Night elves like the moon right? …sure.” My guild mates came to call me Moon for short and since then I have used the Moon theme on all of my characters and have a low level Draenei named Moonmanstan and have reserved Moonhowler for my eventual Worgen. I thought I would carry that theme in to my entry in the Celestial Steed contest.
After much internal debate I think I have settled on Moon Beam. I should mention that due to my college schedule I don’t have much time to play these days and think it would be better enjoyed by someone who could give it daily use.
A tremendous show as always and thanks for reading.

Totally agree with you. Healing is hard. I have had a few priests, but I really prefer DPS. I know many great guy healers, I think the misconception of girls are always healers are is the same that girls are always hunters. oh, wait, I am a hunter. :D

Hi again,
I have already had my turn at naming my steed earlier on but I just wanted to make the comment that I am surprised nobody has chosen “Celeste”!
After Stephanie read out my question last ep. about getting started in WoW I got stuck in immediately. A week and a half later I have a lvl 33 N.Elf Hunter on the Zul’Jin server and now a lvl 8 B.Elf Priest on Earthen Ring.
I really think that the name WoW is not an acronym at all, it refers to what you say out loud when you grasp the depth and complexity of this crazy game!
Looking forward to the next episode :)
Thanks again,
NeoDaneroy
