Episode 11 of the Kurncast

I swear to God, I’m going to move the Kurncast to kurn.info next week. I promise. I’ll also go about adding it to things like iTunes and Stitcher once I’ve done that. Promise!

This week, I talk about my forthcoming changes in my schedule, my idiocy regarding my farm(s), I lament the possibility of giving up my Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina and talk about the Curse of Naxxramas “adventure” for Hearthstone.

Changes Coming

For those of you who are unaware, I haven’t had a full-time, steady job in quite some time. I was in university for longer than I probably should have been, supplemented income with web clients and such, had a fortunate thing happen to me which allowed me to not worry about money for a while and, since graduating from university, I’ve been looking for work.

While looking for work, I’ve explored different avenues for making money. Among them, my guides. I’ve also done some web work and have complained (at length) on Twitter about some nightmarish clients.

Today, I was officially offered a position for full-time work in my field (!) (no details for you guys yet, sorry!) and, because I am not stupid, I accepted it.

What this means for me:

  • Working Monday to Friday from 9am-6pm
  • Going to bed no later than midnight Sunday-Thursday
  • ZOMG A STEADY PAYCHEQUE
  • A distinct lack of this thing called “free time”

What this means for you:

Definite interruption in content production. Specifically:

  • Changes to the podcast schedule. I’ve been releasing most episodes on Sunday night/Monday morning. This may change to something like Sunday afternoon or Monday evening.
  • A delay in my guides. I wanted to release my Raid Leader’s Guide in August/early September. That is almost certainly not going to happen now. As of right now, before even starting work, I’m thinking we’re looking at late October/early November. On the plus side, it will almost certainly beat Warlords of Draenor to release. ;)
  • A delay in my Sneak Peeks. I generally write for my guides and then look over the content and select 2000-3000 words for sneak peeks and release those every week. Well, most weeks. With the interview process and such this week, I had no time to write, much less release a sneak peek. The best way to be kept up to date on my guides and sneak peeks is by signing up for my announcement list. With an upcoming bizarre schedule, I’ll do my best to aim for a new sneak peek every two weeks, but I can’t promise anything yet.
  • Possibly more blogging (?!) just so I have an outlet to talk about WoW stuff — assuming I have time to still play WoW.

Crap. I just realized that I may not be able to pull an all-nighter when Warlords comes out. That’d be a first for me. (Well, not really. I wasn’t here for the launch of Mists, but that’s because I was in Italy.) Oh, well, a steady paycheque makes a lot of things worth it. ;)

Anyhow, that’s what’s going on with me. I’m very careful about keeping my “real life” away from my “WoW life” and I didn’t give out any of my WoW-related stuff to my new employer, but I want to remain very vague about things anyhow (hence all the [REDACTED] tweets on Twitter!).

So that’s what’s going on with me. I’m really excited about this and will spend some time planning stuff out. With any luck, there won’t be too large a disruption to stuff you’ve come to expect from me.

That said, there should be a new Kurncast this Sunday night/Monday morning, by the way, and look for content (YouTube?) about the new Naxx “adventure” in Hearthstone after it comes out on Tuesday! (I’m seriously so excited about PVE coming to Hearthstone. I realize this makes me a little sad. I’m okay with that.)

Hope you’re all doing well. :)

No Kurncast This Week

Due to (good things redacted), my schedule is haywire this week and there’s a lot of uncertainty. I wanted to have Episode 11 of the Kurncast up last night, but I did two full takes (17m and 20m) and hated them both, so I was going to do it tonight.

Buuuuuuut. (Good things redacted) happened and that leaves my week pretty much up in the air. Plus client work, plus other stuff, so I won’t have a Kurncast this week.

Depending on how the week shapes up, I might not end up having a Raid Leader’s Sneak Peek, either! We’ll have to see how it goes.

Kurncast will be back next Sunday night/Monday morning. Thanks for your understanding! :)

Episode 8 of the Kurncast!

Short post today, just letting you know that Episode 8 of the Kurncast is out! Sorry for the delay — it’s been a long few days. Hopefully, I’ll be moving the Kurncast over to kurn.info in the next week. I promise that this is something that is happening sooner than later this time. Once properly there, I’ll be submitting the podcast to iTunes and Stitcher, so that’ll be a good thing done.

Have an awesome week and stay tuned to me on Twitter (@kurnmogh) to make sure you know where the show is hosted next week! :)

Episode 7 of the Kurncast

It’s been a really exciting week in terms of World of Warcraft for me this past week! I got into the Alpha, I hit 600 tailoring, did some achievements and am making progress on getting to 100 mounts.

Totally forgot to mention this in the show, but be sure to have a look at the Wowhead Character Planner, for ideas on what achievement to chase next. It’s quite useful and handy!

Check out my Warlords of Draenor Alpha First Impressions post: http://kurn.apotheosis-now.com/?p=2819

I also took a video showing what the Survival Draenor Perk, Improved Camouflage, is like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5rXnSxNn-o

And here’s another video of this awesome little tower in Frostfire Ridge, the Time-Warped Tower: http://youtu.be/6d9BwKuZDNs

I’ll definitely be adding more videos throughout my time in Alpha and Beta!

I also forgot to mention that I am definitely moving the Kurncast over to my guide site over at kurn.info, probably THIS WEEK, so be prepared to be directed over there. I’m also going to be adding it to iTunes and Stitcher when I do so. :)

Episode 6 of the Kurncast!

Welcome to what may be the last episode of the Kurncast hosted here at Kurn’s Corner! I’m planning on shifting it over to my guide site at kurn.info in the next week. Perhaps two weeks. Why? I want to get it listed in iTunes and Stitcher and such, and while I’m not really inclined to go get a domain name for it, I figure that it’s for the best to separate the podcast from my actual blog.

(Oh dear, this means I need to actually write more blog posts…)

Oh, and here’s the post linked from the Undermine Journal about making cash in Bastion of Twilight:

Episode 5 of the Kurncast!

And so, ladies and gentlemen, here I am with Episode 5 of the Kurncast!

This week’s episode talks a bit about tailoring and also various in-game titles you (and I) like. It also includes an extra-special bonus clip from May 19, 2013… What could that be about, I wonder? Only one way to find out — listen to Episode 5 of the Kurncast!

What’s your favourite in-game title and why? Let me know by hitting me up on Twitter: @kurnmogh.
