Today’s quick little blog post is all about everyone’s favourite Old God, Yogg-Saron!
If you follow me on Twitter (I’m @Cadistra – come and say hi!), then you have undoubtedly seen the trials, tribulations, and wacky adventures I’ve had with Yogg-Saron (@yoggsaron…he loves followers! And DEMENTIA!). The oddly cute and semi-socially awkward Old-God-turned-plushy has warmed the hearts of everyone! *sniff*
To start, we’ve got an adorable song written by the resident lore expert, Tharion Greyseer of Lorecrafted! It’s to the tune of Jonathan Coulton’s ‘Code Monkey.’ I thought it was the cutest thing I have ever read…I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ^_^
Yogg-Saron
(to be sung to the tune of “Code Monkey,” by Jonathan Coulton)
Yogg-Saron get up get raided,
Yogg-Saron give out loot.
Yogg-Saron very frustrated,
He want give raiders boot.
Raiders want way too many shiny things,
But their patience stink.
Their strat not functional nor elegant!
What the fel they think?
Yogg-Saron think maybe raiders want
Stop their QQing so much today!
Yogg-Saron not post it … online!
Yogg-Saron just ‘fwarbles’, not whines!
Yogg-Saron like madness!
Yogg-Saron like schizophrenia!
Yogg-Saron very simple god,
With big cold frozen secret heart.
Yogg-Saron like you.
Yogg-Saron like you…
Yogg-Saron hang around in Mulgore,
Tell you hair smell real nice.
Yogg-Saron offer destroy bad guys,
Freeze ‘em up in some ice.
You say no thank you for destruction ’cause,
It may make you bad.
Anyway you busy with the druid stuff,
No time for that!
Yogg-Saron have long slog back to Ulduar,
He plops down into the earth.
Yogg-Saron not thinking so straight,
Yogg-Saron not feelin’ so great…
Yogg-Saron like madness!
Yogg-Saron like schizophrenia!
Yogg-Saron very simple god,
With big cold frozen secret heart.
Yogg-Saron like you.
Yogg-Saron like you … lots.
Yogg-Saron had every reason,
To get out his place.
Yogg-Saron want to keep on flailing,
See your soft pretty face.
Used to want go mad, destroy Azeroth!
Take bath, take nap.
All death was filling like a smorgasbord,
Many lives to thwap.
Yogg-Saron think someday he have everything,
Even pretty taur’n like you…
Yogg-Saron just waiting … for now.
Yogg-Saron say someday … somehow!
Yogg-Saron like madness!
Yogg-Saron like schizophrenia!
Yogg-Saron very simple god,
With big cold frozen secret heart.
Yogg-Saron like you.
Yogg-Saron like you…
Let’s have a round of applause for Tharion! Quite the musically inclined demon hunter, eh?
This next little tidbit was actually brought to us courtesy of The Last Guardian of Tirisfal (“that’s MR. Last Guardian, to you), Medivh! This is a forum thread over on MMO-Champion, and…well…let’s just say Yogg-Saron + movie posters = ….go see for yourself. ^_~
Finally, I was asked to make a ‘working blueprint’ of the Yogg-Saron doll from a previous picture…apparently, there are already a few in production. X3 I can’t wait to see them!
SPAYING AND NEUTERING!

EDIT: ….Aaaaaannnd I just noticed that I already posted the link to the Yogg-Saron plush doll in the previous blog post. I’m sorry…I’m tired and senile. ;_;
Waaauuggghh!!! *runs in through flurry of papers, doodles, and, uh, Cintiqs*
Uh, due to an unexpected (read: totally forgot until reminded two days ago) situation, I’ll have to..*cringe* extend the comic’s hiatus by one more week. *sniff* Just one more week! I swear! …Don’t look at me like that! It’s not like I enjoy doing this to people!
The big ’situation’ is that I’m actually doing a one-of-a-kind print to be auctioned off at Child’s Play! Brigwyn, of the Hunter’s Lodge, actually asked me to do it…Such an honor! After seeing the amazing things Penny Arcade does with this charity, being asked to help out filled me with joy! Unfortunately, helping the wee chillen’s takes time, and I have only about a week and a bit to make up a professional-quality print. =( I want this to look good (or at least auction-worthy… o_O), also, between you and me, internet – I HATE how this week’s comic was turning out, so it’s getting a do-over. XD
Again, my most sincerest apologies everyone! *bow* *bow* *grovel* *cower* May 4th! Mark it on your calendar! That’s when the next comic will be up! Honest! *cry*
In the meantime, here are some silly doodles – no, really, I was working! ;_;
-MADNESS AND INSANITY! It’s a Twitter thing…@yoggsaron is the cutest Old God to ever come around. :>
-Plans for said Yogg-saron plushy – At the request of Greyseer…um…it would be great if these were made, even though they are quite silly. ^_^
I’m sorry, everyone! v_v

Alrighty! So prints number 7 and 8 are the Forsaken Warlock and the Dwarf Hunter. I won’t say how many revisions the dwarf went under before I was even somewhat content with it. =/
Dwarves! Bears! Succubi! Rawr!
~Kelly
Here’s the Human Priest and the Orc Warrior. I like how the human turned out, although she is a bit too ‘anime-ish,’ but oh well. Also – warrior. Really cool pose in my head, turned into a cluster-f*ck at the end. This cow desperately needs to go back into life drawing. =(
Also – Happy Birthday, Medros! Here’s to many more happy and successful years with All Things Azeroth!
We didn’t start the flame war

…In the immortal words of Holy Dueg.
Sooooo….Patch Day! The ol’ 3.1! Ulduar! Swimming mounts! New pets! Argent Tournament! Dual-spec! Wrynn being a dink! These and much more coming out later today!
So, let’s get the ball rolling…what’s going to be the first thing you all are going to jump on? Argent rep? Spending obscene amounts of gold and time making that flawless talent combination with your class? Or are you just going to say “SCREW IT! Ulduar, here I come!” ?
Since I’m just a wee level 66 *sniff* there’s not much I can do…I bought a handful of glyphs (or rather, Kissless did…I was still at work) in prep for my boomkin dual-spec (so excited!), but as usual, much of the good stuff is unavailable until I hit 80.
Quite a different story for everyone else.
Patch Day Patch Day boom shaka laka

Today I’m previewing the Tauren Druid and the Draenei Paladin. Sorry again for the poor quality. ^_^;
More to come as I finish them!

Hey all!
Here’s some links I’ve gathered throughout the week that I were pretty keen! So here they are:
-The ‘How Addicted to WoW Are You?’ quiz. Mine was 61%. I…don’t know if that’s good or bad, considering I make a webcomic based off of the freaking game.
- The mp3 of ‘Ulduar’! This is the song from that sweet sweet machinema video I posted last weekend. Now to figure out how to download it…
- The WoW Insider fanart contest! I probably won’t enter, but I thought I should help spread the word for all those wanting to try!
- An interesting study about women and PC gaming. Slightly misleading, but interesting. The game/web company I work for considers women aged 35-70 our target audience, so it’s interesting to see WoW among the casual games that many adult women do play.
- Finally, a small follow-up for not only last week’s post about chillin’ out, but for everything else in life. Spring is the time of rebirth and new beginnings!

Hey guys,
I have some news. Not great news, but not really…bad news either.
I’m going to be taking a very short hiatus from World of Warcraft, Eh?
I know, I know: “But you’re right in the middle of a story arc!” Don’t worry, everything will continue as normal, no worries, nothing’s shutting down and I’m not going anywhere. Whether it be the same old excuse, there is just way too much going on in my life right now, and I am burnt right the hell out. I just got over three+ weeks of OT at my job, I’m dealing with a severely ill grandparent, Anime Evolution keeps creeping closer, and there’s a backlog of work for people that really needs to get done. Or started, at the very least (you all know who you are, and I thank you so much for your patience on this matter). I just simply can’t do all of this AND continue the comic on a regular update schedule…I can’t continue in good concious until at least a good chunk of this work is finished.
So don’t worry, I’ll still be around. I’ll still be in game, and on Twitter, and so forth. Maybe if I have time or the inclination, I’ll throw up a filler piece or something. Believe me; I’ve put a lot of thought into announcing this; I don’t like letting people down. I feel awful for having to say this. I’m just as excited for this story arc as you guys are; it’s super fun to write and draw, but at the end of the day, I’m only human. =(
As I said, this is ONLY going to be for one to two weeks at the very most. The site will still be active with blogging and what-not, so don’t let it collect dust! Check back mid-April, and tune in to watch Kissless and Cadistra kick the crap out of some Kolkar centaur!
Thank you everyone for your continued support in making this comic a resounding success! You guys are truly the reason this keeps going! *blows kisses*
Goodnight, Moon

Kissless to the rescue! Personally, I’m not so sure I liked how this page turned out, but too late for that now. =/
In any case, Kissless the paladin has now joined the fray! Let’s see how our two unlikely heroes will get out of this pickle!
Also, let me give a hearty welcome to all Tweeps who have rolled on Kil’Jaeden! Over Raided is surging in growth, and new members are always welcome. Thanks to new members Willemina, ‘Dueg‘, ‘Rahima’, and ‘NotKag‘ (/wink). Stop by and say hi! The Alliance don’t bite…much. :3
