DeeNogger Genisus

Breida127 (2:47:34): We were just storming through this one zone, I am not sure what it was, I think Upper Rock, but all the guys had full epics and I think some legendary armor and we were just eviscerating everything! I could hardly cast two frost bolts before the monsters would just explode.
Dkin488 (2:47:58): What the fuck are you talking about.

Breida127 (2:48:43): Dude, bro, dude, fucking wow man. We got to the end of the dungeon and there is this massive dragon, a black dragon! and his two guards. They are huge! I think it’s the biggest monster in the game and he hits you so hard that not even healers can help you!
Dkin488 (2:49:03): I literally have no idea what these words are that you are assaulting me with.

Breida127 (2:49:26): So the hunter has to kite the dragon around the dungeon to a beast’s room and that lowers his health so when he comes back the dps can zip-zap-zoopidy-doop-bap-bap him down. It was so awesome, you gotta fucking get this game.
Dkin488 (2:51:16): Dude…. Just… just fucking play Halo again. Please.


Few introductions to a game have been filled with such untempered retardation. In the summer of 2005 I was at the height of my gaming career. At that time Tagdoodle did not exist yet and instead I traveled the universe of hardcore internet gaming as DeeNogger. A name first developed for Counter-Strike after my original handle, KillBot[v1.0b] began experiencing excessive IP banning from server admins for botting. A truly dumbfounding turn of events as my most popular activity in CS games was “shoot wildly at wall” and “accidentally grenade self”. I suppose they thought I was one of those advanced bots perfectly designed to play like the average player.

DeeNogger was conceived for Counter-Strike but began walking the road to legendary in Halo 2. A year of intense Halo 2 gaming brought me and fellow gaming extraordinaire, Nokturnelle, to the lower levels of MLG pro gaming, nipping at the toes of world class professional gamers. With shiny 1.0’s in “Calc 2” and “Statistics for Engineers” to prove I was everything hardcore, I went home for the summer looking for something new, something better, something challenging.

One day I got an IM message from Nokturnelle. The first words out of his mouth were “I have found it.” After much debate on weather he was actually speaking English (see above) I tried this “wow” game out. The first character I made was a dwarf paladin I named “Dwaradin”. Worst fucking name ever. After 33 levels of tab-ing out to wank it to porn while my indestructible hit-like-my-dead-grandma paladin slowly grinded through mobs and I had had enough.

Second character I made was a priest. “Shadow Priests Melt Faces” threads had just become the new meme on wow forums and I, like an idiot, thought they were serious.

Dkin488 (12:37:55): Shadow Priests have the highest dps in the game dude!

32 levels later and my mutton chopped Night Elf priest named ‘Fairbanks’ was going the same way as Dwaradin, though this time with significantly less chaffage. Internally I took stock of what I wanted from my character, what I was good at, what role I wanted to play, and what look and feel I wanted. Since my answer to all these questions was something along the lines of “fuck if I know” I gravitated to a specific class.

Mousehippo, the Orc hunter was born. As a hunter I was welcomed open armed into the teaming mass of dumbass. I felt at home. I had no clue what I should be doing and that was just fine. I quickly obtained a wolf that could match my hunter’s awesome no-funny-business name and called him Mittens. Mittens and Mousehippo lasted 40 glorious levels, and still exist today (at level 42). But once again, I was left unsatisfied. Having begun leveling Mousehippo with Nokturnelle, whom had also rerolled horde with me on the opportunity of joining Nok’s roommates guild (A super l33t guild that couldn’t kill Barron in MC) Nokturnelle had quickly left me in the dust, ultimately landing his first invite to raids, and linking me the T1 that was being defaulted to him, as I ding’d lvl 38.

Two levels later, and even further left behind by my “leveling partner” and I had reached the end. In frustration I bitched to another friend, Spudcrowley, whom had just rerolled himself from our original alliance server (Dwaradin had leveled with Spud’s unbelievably shitty hunter, SkipMcdougal) to a new fancy server, horde side.

Dkin488 (6:31:58): Fuck this game, all you do is run around in the same god damn place. You cant even do stuff by yourself. I miss Diablo.

My finger was on the trigger, and I was just moments away from canceling my account, uninstalling wow, and firing up Halo 2 again. In Halo I was a one man wrecking crew, destroying others so completely that their only recourse was to twist my gamer tag into an all-too-obvious racial slur and cry like bitches. In wow I was a nothing. A helpless victim of those same assholes that I would scrape off the bottom of my boot with minimal effort on XBL. Unable to do anything cool by myself, and constantly being left behind in the leveling game, I had seen what wow had to offer and didn’t like it.

SkipDiddly31 (6:32:24): Reroll horde with us, this server is pretty awesome and there is a big guild that will invite you, Jreddog’s friends are in it.
Dkin488 (6:32:41): What server?
SkipDiddly31 (6:32:49): Mal’ganis Mal’ganis – A server so nice, they named it twice.

In the beginning God created the server and the player. And the player was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be Tagdoodle: and there was Tagdoodle.

And God saw that it was good.
