Recreation, maybe...

Hello,

It has been over a year since there has been any activity on this rather dead blog.

I've recently found myself interested in possibly re-opening this, as I said I might over one year ago. I re-read all of my old posts, and was able to reflect. It made me nostalgic, but also realize something. My blog was... terrible. No, I'm not condemning myself, and I'm happy I did it. But my posts were immature and sporadic, I did a lot of "lol"s and smiley faces and "xD"s, and just carried it in a very bad way. Even so, with all of that, I was able to get 10,000 hits, which I know is not a lot, in fact it's very little, but a accomplishment non the less. When I posted a post with a controversial topic, or a question, I actually received comments with answers and statements. Maybe only 2-3, but people actually listened, which was very inspiring to look back on.

So if a sporadic, immature blog was able to get that, how much better could a well run blog do?

Since last year, which was when I stopped with PyromancerJonathan, me and a bunch of friends tried out another blog, teenswithchrist.com , which has not been posted on since February, but we did it in a much more orderly fashion. We built it before releasing, we bought a domain and hosting, we had a fantastic header and logo, we made a facebook page and tried to work on SEO best we could. Our posts were deep, complete and coherent, and we actually ran a schedule. We had a guest post, a email list and RSS options. We had 173 facebook likes. It was great.

So why did I bother telling you that? Well, mainly because all of that helped me, a lot. Looking back on my old posts on this after we did TWC made me notice all the flaws I listed above.

All of this goes back to my original question, if a sporadic, immature blog was able to get that, how much better could a well run blog do? Hmm... I don't know, but I want to find out.

That's why I'm posting this, I want to know what you guys think. Comment or email me and tell me what you think. Depending on the kind of feedback I get, I may start planning some. No worries, I'll keep you posted.

Wizard101: Finally!!

FINALLY! I got all eight staffs!

Yay! It's finally over! After that, I went to Tik-Tik Snaketoungue, who sent me to a really hard boss.

I had to hire two henchmen to defeat him (How pathetic am I?) 

That's pretty much it in the Wizard world for me, I haven't really moved anywhere on my 200,000 gold goal, I'm still at 181,000.

Technical difficulties

Hello everyone, Just wanted to say that I'm having computer/wifi issues. I probably won't be able to post until Monday or so. I can't wait to start blogging again soon!! P.S. I'm posting this from my iPod.

Minecraft: My bad!

Sorry, I was mistaken, I'm going to be doing Vechs's Kaizo Carvern, not Infernal Sky.
Sorry about the mislead!

Minecraft: Vechs's Infernal Sky II, coming soon!

Soon I will start doing a series playing Vech's Super Hostile - Infernal Sky II. I'll start posting this tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Wizard101: Staff, please, just give me a staff.

Back to the Ravengers... Again. Alright, I've been farming the Fire Lion Ravengers, for what seems like forever. I only have 4 out of 8, sadly. And only 161,000 gold. So, life has been pretty boring when it comes to Wizard101. Oh well.

Sorry about the short post.

Wizard101: Staff drops are, rare... Very rare...

Alright, I'm in Zafaria, and I got the staff quest. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a quest in Zafaria, where you have to collect 8 staffs from Fire Lion Ravengers (It's not called the staff quest, that's just what I call it.) and the drop rate is, catastrophic, or worse. I'v fought them 10 times, and gotten one, which I think is pretty lucky, because I've heard stories about people fighting them hundreds of times, and not getting all eight. It gets worse, their fire :/ So it takes me about 8-15 minutes to finish one battle. I also have no other quests to do in Zafaria, so I'm pretty much stuck with fighting these guys over and over again.

Other then my ranting about the staff quest, I cleared out my inventory/bank, so I know hit a new record for myself with 141,000 gold :D, I'm hoping to get to 200,000. And, when I get that much, I'm going to congratulate myself by buying a Bengal Tiger, and completing that goal of 2012. Ah, it will be a good day.

I look forward to seeing you in the spiral!

And I'm back!

Alright, The site is pretty much finished, the only thing that's not is the header. I haven't decided whether to make one myself, or ask someone. Though, I am back on Wizard101 so you could se me around, because I'm on this trip I can't play as much as I could normally. But I'll get a fair amount of playing. I'm also going to start blogging about other games, mainly Minecraft. I am working on a server with some other people, but probably won't get it up until October. However, you will be able to get on our website before the server opens. I'll put the link up later. I'll also start every post title with what game I am gaming about, and a name about what happened in the post.
Thanks so much for your continuous support, and I look forward to get back into blogging!!

Reconstruction

Hi all,

After mulling over my options and thinking about where I'd go with it, I've decided to change my blog from a Wizard101 blog, to an overall gaming blog. However, I am on a trip until October, so I probably won't be able to play online games very much or at all. I will be keeping up with Minecraft and other offline games. I probably won't start for a week or so, I've got a lot of changes to make. But stay tuned, there will be lots of updates! This is also my 100th post, yay!

Thank so much for all the support,
PyromancerJonathan

Last post... maybe...

Hi all,

I haven't posted much recently, I haven't played much either. This will probably be my last post for a while (or forever). I got started on other games (Lotro, Minecraft etc.) so I'm pretty much done with Wizard101. However, I might play Pirate101 a bit, and maybe blog about that too. I wanna thank everyone for such great fun, help and encouragement. It really was a blast doing this blog, thank you. I'll still be checking my email, and the comments, maybe even get on Wizard101 a little bit, but probably not much. I never got to level 70 :( still in the 60's. I may be starting another blog for my other games, or be using this one as a general gaming blog. Not sure, I'll update when I decide though. I'll still be using Xfire and Youtube as well, so you can contact me there as well. Thank you, and goodbye :-)
(I just noticed this is my 99th post, I might have to post once more to get 100 :P)

I'm taking a week off.

Hi all,
I haven't posted on my blog in a while. I've been very busy and not much time to play the game so. For the next week I won't be posting.

Lord Henry is Adult!

Woot! Lord Henry (My phoenix) is adult!! If you remember my last post about him leveling up, he got a pretty bad talent, this time, it was a little bit better but still pretty useless...

Now, health gift is better then mana gift, BUT, not when it only gives you 33 health! IT GIVES ME 33 HEALTH! 33! How useless is that?! I just went from 3,048 health to 3,081 health. What a advantage I get now...

Goodbye Celestia!

That's right, i'm done with celestia!!!! Wooo! I just completed the trial of spheres with Jared NightShade, Dakota DragonSinger and Autumn TaleStone. It was E-P-I-C! Super long, but epic.

I think the graphics in their are absolutely AMAZING! Jared died twice, sorry!

Zafaria is SO COOL!

I think Kingsisle did a great job with the graphics here as well, It's very complicated and there's a lot of detail.

Lord Henry is teen!

After a 1/2 hour of pet training I just got Lord Henry (My Phoenix) to teen!

And he gave me Mana >.> NOT HAPPY

Okay so mana is better then Crafty or something, but come on! Whatever, will just have to wait to see his other talents :D

So now, which one should I have equipped?

I think I'll keep Duke Bear equipped for now until Lord Henry gets better talents.

I feel so epic with him :D
