Warcraft Parody of Flowers on the Wall:

Flowers in Nagrand

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness

But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was playin' on your raid team, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your guild are worried about me I'm still havin' lots of fun

Pickin' flowers, Minin' and all, That don't bother me at all
Playin' Hearthstone's always fun, waitin' for the queue to reach one
Exploring Nagrand, maybe even Talador too,
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed my toon, in all the transmog gear I own
As long as I play its unnecessary to skype or even use the phone
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me on Draenor, I'm havin' quite a time

Pickin' flowers, Minin' and all, That don't bother me at all
Playin' Hearthstone's always fun, waitin' for the queue to reach one
Exploring Nagrand, maybe even Talador too,
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to gaming in WoW and make my day complete

Pickin' flowers, Minin' and all, That don't bother me at all
Playin' Hearthstone's always fun, waitin' for the queue to reach one
Exploring Nagrand, maybe even Talador too,
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Flowers On The Wall

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Imagining Item Creation

If I were to make an item, based on a combination of my WoW toons, interests, nerd culture, etc. Mine'd be called: Hammer of the Gods. It's a comic book reference, but I think this weapon would be ideal for Paladins, or Shamans. It'd be a 2H mace, very mechanically detailed, electrified, and its special usage would be spec dependent.

DPS: Thunder God's Wrath: builds an electrical charge up to 5, upon use, charges are released. If multiple targets are within 5yds of each other, the damaging current will bounce once for every charge present.

Tank: Electrical Shieldwall, which can be placed w/three charges, every 6min. Absorbs 6% of all dmg for 30 seconds. Chance of Reverberation, every 15sec. (3X) per use of the shield, 30% of incoming damage is reflected back as nature dmg.

Healer: Baptismal Rainstorm. Within the radius of affected area, players are healed +2% stacked for 10 sec. w/additional effect of magnetized pull. Will draw other players into the healing field. Pulling the player w/lowest health 1st.

Any player familiar w/the storyline in WotLK Storm Peaks, will know Blizzard has already referenced Norse mythology in WoW, but who cares? I think it'd be nice to have a multi-purpose tool.

New Secondary Skill: Invention

This New secondary skill would be set up like Archaeology. Similarly its results would produce items from a variety of primary skills, but add a new element: teaching/learning. Now plans/recipes can be infinitely drafted, and no longer solely found in the world randomly.
Every tier of the profession could include drafting plans for complete transmogrification sets, or allow a jewel crafter the ability to forge extra sockets in armor like a blacksmith. Other plans could allow additional learning of recipes without requiring materials farmed and used.

Undying Loyalty in WoW

I lied. I've never been unsure about them, I always thought they were poor choices for a playable race. Their popular appeal aside, their motivations have always been weak, and their leader, and those alliances always suspect. I've also never been particularly drawn to the character class: Warlock, but I will attribute that to my own prejudices.

Inherent in my dislike of them has always been a question of loyalties. Their own, and also in-game, or even the player-base as a whole.

1.) In the Warcraft universe, the Burning Legion and all its affiliated demons are the cause of countless worlds' destruction, and untold loss of life. Inclusive in this category are the Forsaken.

2.) All Forsaken used to be human, and supposedly all have their own free will. All supposedly now hate the living-humans. Not the orcs, not the remaining highborne elves. Just humans?

3.) Some (or all) retain some degree, if not all of their past memories, and some even have living relatives.

4.) They appear to almost worship their leader as a deity, who attempts to spread death and corruption just as their former murderer and oppressor: Arthas- whom they loathe.

5.) Their leader makes alliances with demons (who caused the curse of the undead, which made the Forsaken) and other undead, like the Valkyr- who also helped Arthas as the Lich King spread the corruption... you get the idea.

And so on, and so forth -one of the best in-game (in my mind) starting zones  quests, is in the Scarlet Enclave, wherein the player (regardless to whichever faction he/she belongs) gets to experience his character fighting back against the indomitable will of the Lich King. Willpower and the identity of self are paramount, and the sole goal of the player, eventually.

I love the Death Knight experience, and wish there was a way, in-game to alter the undead experience... but I am sure it is too late (nearly 8yrs., not including Warcraft) to re-align loyalties.
