I'm goin' 'ter the launch in Rotterdam! WHEEEEH! Wednesday night at 22:30 'til 0:00ish!
And I'll go in Red Blade orc style *Nodnod*
*dances* can't wait!
You gotta be kidding me :p
Whutlawl? Let this orc be a silly man...
*Counts on his fingers* Four days a year? :P
Hmmm got me new bracers made, pauldron patched, shirt fixed, logo redone, sexy bandoleers fitted, kilt repaired, this orc is ready to rawk.
I wish I had the time to make pauldron of me own >:(
screenshot or it didn't happen
Yar, yar, I'll make screenies <_<
Want the gear itself, loony me, or whut?
You, of course. Preferably one also at the release party :)
*shakes head and takes his pill*
Me not does that... me gud kid.
*Roar* Let the inner orc out *Cackles*
I'll see what I can do, pro'lem is, the sales start at 00:01, and I need to bugger off at 00:10 to catch the last train back home, so I hope I can get a collector's edition, signed and all that sort o' crap, and if I phail, then I can get one the other day.
*Rubs his pwetty bwacers*
There, ye should have a picture of the outfit itself now, I'll get some pictures of green me later, just to explain what you see.
*Grabs an old beamer and sits back*
Nuuw what yer see here be an outfit, aye, big outfit, yarr, good, 'ey?
'S got a kilt, shaman level 1 orc style *Flex*
Old leather belt with a small pouch and a big pouch, goin' 'ter make a quick copper-beads... Bead thing with it b'fore I go.
Shirt with our logo, with some paint, this camera is too blurry, there's loads more holes in the paint itself, making it look better
Two cross-bandoleer, shame it's cloth, but heck, got cross-stiching over the bandoleers for fancy-looks.
Plate segmented (I believe it's called) shoulderpiece, stretches from my neck to halfway my upper arm, has a belt to strap it to my body and one to strap it to my arm (Or the darn thing would drop off)
Soft, cuddly, warm, not to mention sexy! Sleeve, goes under the shoulder for mainly comfort and preventing my green skin to infect the plate, but it also looks darn cool if yer ask me.
Pair of bracers, black leather-like fabric, molted the Horde logo into it, there's red stitching over the front and back and some red laces-things to attach it to my wrists and all of that.
At the top you see a red hairband, barely visable, it's so I can put my hair like some orc hairdo crap.
There's a necklace besides the large pouch, copper with brown beads together and an old-style nail, crafted by a smith under a darn hot forge with a hammer and anvil, that'll go 'round the neck.
I'll show you the essential bit later, green sexy-ness of Mhokdor and of my pride-and-joy, the bracers, I'll give a closer look later.
Eh, bit big-size, heheh... If anyone can be arsed to download and resize it for me without losing the entire picture of... Eh, the picture, please do, this PC can't do crap, nor can I do crap, nor do I have the time for any crap (THis is not crap.)
Cheerio!
woohoo! *thumbs up for creativity*
Niceness! love the shoulder armour!
Ah, thank ye lads! ^^
I love my shoulder armour myself ^^ it's a shame I can't claim it to be my own creation, a mastersmith sold four of them at a fair I was at (Elf Fantasy Fair, which is a fantasy fair for mainly medieval)
I'll also add a picture of my axe and my stave sometime, I'll have to use the stave tonight, the axe is still illegal as it requires "Three steps to arm", it being a level-whatever weapon, so it needs a sheathe, a lock for the sheathe and something to get it on me belt.
I can't wait *Shaky shaky* :P

A catagory 1 weapon =) Display weapons that need a license
Messed up lads, or at least, partially messed up, costume thing was 'aight.
I'll update t'morrow when I'm more awake, I'm going to write a complaint on WoW-europe though.
So you wear a skirt in real life too. ;)
Think you need to get out more. ;)
Be happy that gnomish subway-workers banned the axe in public transport!!!

If you want a quick update on why the night wasn't as I would had liked it to be.
(Also, a thing I'll explain later, is that I have a miniature Morgeth-thingy.)
That's messed up. Too bad. Still don't have my own lick king either. ;<
oh damn man, that sucks, i hope you can get some sort of compensation later :-\
Right, how'd it went then, hrm...
*Sticks up his pipe and whatnot, going into a flashback moment*
'Round 20:30 we started with the make-up, getting the greenskin on my whiteskin, which is quite a pain.
First of all, half of my hair was done in a tail and we started with my face, forehead to chest, front ánd back, we used a total of three layers for good cover.
After the face was painted we put on my black sleeve, put the shoulderpiece over it, bandoleers on and my kilt and belt, then we did my arms, from underneath the sleeve to my wrist and from my armpit (That is SO annoying!) to my wrist, giving it a quick dry and changing my hairband from girly to a piece of old cloth, much better.
Then we put on the bracers and painted my hands, after drying and doing some quick extra layers we took the car to the subway station.
In the subway itself there was a bunch of eh... Chavs? Think that's the word, first they laughed at me, but after I didn't respond for five minutes at it, they quit it and just buggered off (Plate pauldron power?) Not soon after we got to the Rotterdam central station and we departed the subway, a group of people came to me and asked me if I wanted to go on a picture, giving my night a good start.
After we got out of the tunnels and reached the surface you could already hear the music, in the distance the large queue was visable.
The moment I was noticed I could feel the staring, I think I impressed the blokes there as there were pictures made rather oftenly, I stood in queue, grumbling some, doing some orcish "/salute" pounds on me chest and watching "The Big Screen" at sneak peeks of the new expansion, I was then asked if a camera crew could hold an interview, what the heck? Well I did, I must say the most stupid question would have to be "Why are you here and dressed up like that?", I'm here so I can find little ants under the tree, this is my camouflage! Nutcake. Anyway, I was given one of three vouchers, told that it would get me first-place in queue, or at least one of first places, that is, shortly after a bloke from Media Markt approached me giving me the same ticket, asking if I wanted to participate in the costume contest.
After getting back in line I poked a bloke in a leather jacket, thinking it was a rogue-costume, looking at how the shoulders scaled, however, it was just another jacket *Cackles*
However, he recognised US! He saw our logo on my shirt and asked whether I was an orc of the Orcs of the Red Blade! *Chuckles* Some bloke from The Alliance Watch, we talked a bit, my shaman being in the third-generation of that guild and we had some giggles and chuckles.
Anyhoo, some photographer from "Intermediair" or somewhat asked me if I could go out of the queue and take some pictures of me, fun part of the costume is the attention, but I kind'a got star-treated there, which is annoying <_<
Had around 50 pictures taken at that point alone, by both her and a bunch o' others, asked to even bloody pose, "Roar?"
Note to self: Costumes are fun, but next time go under-cover, Defias Rogue or somewhat.
After getting back to the Alliance-Watch bloke it was nearly time for the costume contest and that bloke came and asked me to get ready, so I got my arse to the side of the building where some other folks were waiting, we were taken to the escalator (So bloody close) and were asked to wait there until the contest started.
To the contest participated:
-A human warrior, mail armour, paper-crap shoulderpieces, bracers and kneecaps that looked mildly plate, fancy that.
-A succubus, or at least a girl that wore little under the belt, having a gothic-purple vest or whatever and bunny-ear-crap on her head.
-Another succubus, read above.
-Some bloke in a raincoat thing with his face painted black and some rotten teeth... Lovely?
-The Snorc, an orc looking like a business man. (He had a mustache, "Snor" in Dutch, so he was a Snor-orc, as the folks called him)
-That odd green guy with a plate shoulder and a kilt, called himself an orc shaman, what was he thinking? (Stating the obvious, me ;) )
-An (undead), bit of a chubby man with his face painted white, simple black robe and whatnot.
-Another (undead) warlock, his face painted so that it resembled a skull, wearing large black robes and wielding a fancy looking staff, his (girl)friend wore something VERY close to a succubus, and they together participated, in the end it was these two that won, and heck they deserved it ;) (WoW-Original Collector's Edition + 6 free months of play + An Illidan Stormrage figure, fancy that!)
After the contest was over we were asked to leave the stage back to the side of the building, and the bloke would collect us there so we would be the first to enter, I was asked for an interview again and I was given my third voucher for first-in-queue, lovely.
When it finally was time for the sales however, the bloke didn't show up, the prize winnars and three contestants did as they were told, and the odd-black-faced bloke and two others had sneaked passed the stage and they WERE in the spot to go first, a guard, to describe him:
A big, black mongrel, incapable of reading and not able to understand English or Dutch language.
Stood in our way and wouldn't let us pass, paying no attention to our vouchers, the posters, and even a bloke from Blizzard self, telling him to let us through.
So beaten by time, having to catch the bloody subway, we had to go home, leaving with a puppet of a warlock in tier 5, call me ungratefull, but I wasn't happy at all, I was there for the pack of-course!
On a brighter note, I may be able to get my copy of the Collector's Edition tomorrow at 9:00 (Morning time <_<) when they get their FIRST delivery.
