My Grand Return is Booked!

CHARITY_ANNOUNCE_02

That’s right, I’m coming back!

After an unexpectedly long absence due to illness, I am planning to return to streaming with a new, updated streaming setup (woo!), and what’s even better – a charity streaming goal for the month of May. Help me kick off my fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital PLAYLIVE as I kickoff Phase 2 of the WonderWez Twitch channel THIS SUNDAY, April 29th, 2018. I’m planning to stream from 10am-4pm Pacific Daylight Time, though we may go longer depending on how much fun we’re all having.

This will be my first charity stream of several throughout the month of May. I’ll be doing these on weekend days, so hopefully if you can’t make it this Sunday, you’ll be able to hit up one of the future days (stay tuned for the future dates listing!). I’m planning to stream World of Warcraft while leveling a new character that early comers can even help me create! I’m planning some fun little incentives for donors, and when we hit certain milestones, I’m planning some epic future streams including a synth music stream for hitting $250, and a live drumming stream for hitting our $500 goal. (Seriously that drumming stream would be AWESOME!)

I’m also excited because I’ve spent some time this month investing in some new gear for the stream, including a new camera, an extended soundboard, among others. Also I’ve spent some time implementing some new features including new alerts, and customized minigames for your chatroom pleasure.

I really hope you all enjoy the upcoming streams. I love livestreaming and have really missed it, so I’m so glad to be coming back! Until Sunday, take care!

 

{VIDEO} REAL TALK: Battle for Azeroth Launch & Alpha Access Thoughts

Hope you enjoy this video I made, wherein I chat about the World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth launch set for August 14th, 2018, my launch experiences past, and my somewhat-controversial opinions on early access content. Make sure to like the video (if you like it, that is), and I love seeing comments over there! Oh, and if you’re not already subscribed to my channel on YouTube, make sure to do that and hit the notifications bell to be informed of future videos as soon as they come out!

Week of Warcraft

This week I’ll be streaming TONS AND TONS of World of Warcraft. Why? Well, beyond the fact that it allows for another amazing opportunity for alliteration, Legion-time is nigh and this week we’ll be getting two awesome events in-game to get things rolling:

First up, there’s Demon Hunter access for pre-orders. Yes, for those of us who’ve pre-ordered the Legion expansion (I did basically for the awesome pet), and who also have at least one level 70+ toon already (just read that, so newbies might wanna start leveling now!), the new Demon Hunter class will be available for selection when creating a new character starting tomorrow. I wouldn’t rate myself highly at playing alts (I ❤ my warrior main), so I’m not as stoked as everyone else may be, but the character models do look pretty awesome, and the double-jump and glide abilities have loads of utility. Learn more about the new Demon Hunter class here, and if you haven’t seen it already, check out this excellent video highlighting a Demon Hunter origin-story:

The big excitement for me is the pre-expansion event – the Burning Legion invasion – scheduled to begin tomorrow. In six zones around the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, demons will be dropping from the skies ready to wreak havoc on Azeroth, and it’s our duty as players to band together to hold them off – and collect loot doing so!

felbat-pupv9761I won’t go into all the details here, but Wowhead has a pretty in-depth guide to the whole event: locations, what the different stages are, and the rewards. I’m in it for the Felbat Pup companion pet, personally. I started playing WoW back in January of 2009 – several months after the launch of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and I will always regret those pets from launch events past that I’ll never have access to… *sigh*

There’s also some transmog items, for those of you Fabulous folks out there! I don’t yet have a feel for how many of the rewards are going to be possible to acquire during the event (can you catch them all???), but hopefully I’ll get enough play time to grab what I need.

Suffice it to say, my streaming schedule this week will be completely dedicated to WoW’ing it up. I’m still re-learning to play my Arms Warrior, so hopefully the invasion will give me more opportunity to practice the new skills. Want to know when I’m streaming live? You have two options available: first you can follow me on Twitch and allow live notifications there, or you can follow me on Twitter for the official announcements of when I go live. Hope to see you there!

If you do not play World of Warcraft but are interested in starting, I have a limited supply of Starter Edition codes available that I’d be happy to send through the Recruit-a-Friend program. To take advantage of this offer, head on over to Twitter and follow me (@wonderwezgaming) and then tweet me your request including the phrase “WoW Starter” (no DM’s, please).
