Ditto battles Shark Warriors!
After passing through the Stargate into the District of the Stars, Ditto finds a whole bunch of very scary shark warriors protecting this big broken obelisk. Of course what’s the first thing Ditto does? Attack the big scary shark warriors! They put up a good fight, but with a hit from a great big Fire Dragon and I was just looking for fries to go with the fish sticks…
Celestia really is amazing, I’m definitely enjoying it! I love the designs and these shark warriors are really scary and intimidating, some of the coolest adversaries I’ve ever seen! I can’t wait to get even deeper into Celestia, I want to see how the rest of this story plays out!!
Adventures in Celestia – Ditto finds the Stargate!
After finishing up in The Grotto, Ditto finally has all the pieces to the Stargate – also known as the mystical portal thingy. He turns the pieces in to the Marleybone engineer, and for some reason, the engineer needs Ditto to fix the portal! What? Ditto is apparently now not only a highly skilled wizard, but also versed in Celestian engineering? It just goes to show that Ravenwood is an excellent education!
Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy: Comment Bullys
Hi Everybody – Ditto here, and for this week’s video bloggy thingy I wanted to talk about something I call ‘Bullying by commenting’.
Ditto reads ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’
Hey everybody, Ditto here! I wanted to do something a little different and special for Christmas, so I decided to read you the classic ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ poem. Clement Clarke Moore wrote the poem ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ in 1822!! I hope you enjoy it, and no matter what you celebrate this time of year – Christmas, Solstice, Chanukah, Kwanza, or anything else that brings you joy and happiness!
And this just happens to be my 300th video, too!! Wow!
Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy – December 17th, 2011
Hi everybody, it is the Ditto, and it is an all new video bloggy thingy! I know me has been away for a while, a lot longer than usual – sorry about dat. (more…)
Finding Scrap Metal in Celestia
So I was exploring in Celestia, and this engineer person needed my help urgently – it seems she required scrap metal, I think maybe to build a statue of me… which totally makes sense if you look at how much I’ve already done in Celestia… anyway, I love these fun little side quests that encourage exploration and appreciation of these wonderful environments without huge fights every twelve seconds…
What do you think – combat is fun and rather awesome, but sometimes I like a nice relaxing kind of stroll through the place looking for stuff.
Introducing the Chrismoose!!
I do LOVE Wizard 101 around the holidays – ANY holiday, really – but these promotions are my favorites, because they’re giving us a cute, fun holiday mount AND directly benefiting two GREAT organizations, The Austin Children’s Shelter and Children’s Medical Center at Legacy.
Like most mounts, the Chrismoose carries you around The Spiral 40% faster than walking – even when carrying heavy presents! And just look at him – so CUTE!! For more information straight from the mooose’s mouth, check out the details on the Wizard101 Website….
The adorable Chrismoose!
Ditto Versus Cthulhu, or Cuthalla, or something like that!!
First of all – Awesome Ravenwood Radio last night, and they are giving away some great prizes, I’m very excited!!
So Ditto was minding his own business down in Celestia, fighting a few nasty crustaceans, when all of a sudden I’m pulled into a fight with this huge purple monster, Cuthalla, a Rank 10 storm boss! I was NOT expecting that, and before I knew what was happening, I was being pounded upon by a very scary monster. Sadly, the fight did not last long, but it was pretty intense while it lasted! I’ll have to go back and try that again when I’m a lot more prepared!
The Eel Cave – Ditto does not fight eels!!
Ok, so it’s been a few days longer than expected between posts – there’s a reason for that, and I’ll post about it soon, I promise. In the meantime, here are two new videos of Ditto doing some quests for Rupert, who is still trapped underwater in a cage, yet instead of rescuing him, he has me going off and doing all kinds of crazy things.This crazy thing it finding some information in the Eel cave, which is VERY creepy, since you have to swim through a huge mouth and down a giant esophagus to get into the cave. That’s not something you want to do too often…
Video 1 – Rupert gives Ditto his new task… and no, it’s not ‘Rescue me!’
Video 2 – Ditto works his way into the Eel cave and, to his pleasant surprise, realizes if he’s careful he doesn’t have to fight anything, just solve a puzzle. Hooray for puzzles…
Ditto gathers coral (and fights!!)
Hey everybody – it’s been a few days, but Ditto is back in Celestia and this time, has to gather coral. Of course, the coral is in a room full of bad guys, but if Ditto can be careful and not attract unwanted attention, this can be over quickly! Of course when is Ditto ever stealthy or careful? I’m immediately pulled into a fight against a fish and an eel – not as tough as the crustaceans, but still a solid fight! Then there is a pretty terrible showing at Shock A Lock, and I finally get all my coral… I’m still loving Celestia, I need to get more videos up soon!!
Happy Thanksgiving from Ditto!!
I just wanted to wish all my friends and fans a safe and happy Thanksgiving!! I’m really thankful for my family and all my great friends both in and out of game, and I’m happy to be able to continue bringing you my videos and blog posts!
One thing I like to do around this time of year is to try to give back a little bit to those who might be having a hard time, or may be far away from home or loved ones. I like to make donations to a food bank (we do that all year long, actually) and to animal shelters, because animals need love and help too. Another great thing to do is to send a letter or a care package to a soldier who might be stationed far from home – Operation Gratitude is a good program for this, and I know there are others. You can also volunteer locally, at the library reading to little kids, or at the local hospital or food bank or shelter – it doesn’t take much to make a big difference in the life of someone who has fallen on hard times, or who is far from home.
Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!!
Ditto talks to Rupert….
Ditto has defeated many Crustaceans, and is back to rescue Rupert, one of the Marleybone adventurers who was trapped by the crustacean bad guys and is in a cage in The Grotto. Of course instead of asking Ditto to rescue him, he is still obsessed with his research notes or something… I’d like to rescue these guys some time soon!
Ditto versus those Crazy Clawcutters
Do you ever find yourself in a duel where you keep saying ‘Oh come ON, I can’t believe he just did that!’ over and over again?
So there I was, swimming around in the Grotto, trying to collect something or other from these terrifying Crustacean Clawcutters! These fights are HARD – they toss out a wild bolt or tempest first turn, or a Stormzilla second turn! I’m finding myself using a lot of glacial shields lately! Thankfully, a good strong Fire Dragon with a Fire Blade is enough to take these guys out, so if I can survive the first few turns the fights are over pretty quick! It’s really very exciting, I have to say!
Ditto fights underwater!
So here is my first true ‘underwater’ battle, and it was both very hard and kinda weird. First of all, it was against two Storm school enemies,one of which was able to hit me for close to 900 points of damage FIRST TURN! That is some amazing early damage, and was very scary! Thankfully I was victorious, but wow these fights are using every bit of my skill, plus a little luck!
Also, I know I have not been posting as much – I have been pretty crazy busy lately, and it has been kind of tricky to play Wizard 101 and make fun posts – I’m going to try to get at least three posts a week out there, and hopefully more. I think Carl will help too.
Wizard 101 Honors Veterans

Ditto and the Underwater Breathing Machine – Part 2
So I have used the ancient and mystical Celestian ‘Underwater Breathing Machine’, which had a lot of pretty lights but hadn’t seemed to do much of anything… And now I am supposed to trust that this has made me able to breathe underwater by entering ‘The Grotto’… Seems kind of crazy, don’t you think? Let’s see how it goes!
Ditto and the Underwater Breathing Machine, part 1…
So t has been a very busy few days for Ditto and I have not been able to post as much, but I am still having a very good time in Celestia. Most recently, a scientific chap named Rutherford deciphered some Celestian text and discovered a device that would allow the user to breathe underwater. This was pretty exciting, until I realized who he wanted the guinea pig to be… me!
Let’s see – completely untested ancient device that somehow modifies my biological structure to allow me to breathe underwater… And the best part is that when it’s done working, I don’t feel any different! Seriously? So I walk through this mystical thingy and then just assume I can hop outside the protective dome and breathe OK at the bottom of the sea? This sounds like a really bad idea – we’ll have to see how it goes!
Ditto versus some crabby guy…
Ditto has found the camp of Optio Agenor, a nasty looking Balance boss with an annoying Ice minion who were holding one of the explorers captive. The fight was pretty intense, I can’t believe how hard these Celestian foes hit, it’s intense. Oh, the boss also dropped a piece of the portal device I’m supposed to be looking for. I’m really enjoying Celestia so far!
New Stuff…. Ditto in Celestia and back online
So thanks to a number of factors, including a freak pre-Halloween snowstorm you might have heard about, I haven’t been doing much online for the past few days. I’m back now, thankfully, with lots more great Celestia videos and an all-new Daring Adventures of Ditto for tonight’s Ravenwood Radio, so I’m very excited!
There has been a huge announcement from Wizard 101 what I was only recently able to really read through. This includes a new world, Zafaria, which is a great looking African-themed realm with lots of amazing looking new content. It also includes something I’m very excited about – Grub Guardian, a new tower defense styled mini game that will be available for web and soon for mobile iOS devices, that seems to allow players to level their pets from outside of the game. I love tower defense games, and i love my pets, so I’m very excited for this particular news!
Of course for most people, the biggest news will be the new level cap increase, from 60 to 70, and of course new spells!! I’ve seen the video and I was impressed by some of the new spells it showed. I’m assuming the volcano is the new fire spell (can’t wait!!), and I saw a great looking Chimera (Myth?), a stampede of wooly mammoths (Ice!), A monster gnome (Bizarre!), an amazing earth-looking dragon (It crawled out of the earth, anyway) and the coolest yet, Frankenstein! I’m assuming that one is storm, with all the electricity and lightning flashing around.

I’m very excited for this new world, especially since I’m already in Celestia and doing really well! I truly love the Celestian design and layout and architecture, and the quests are a lot of fun, with really challenging fights! I’ve got a ton of videos that I’ll be putting out, since I just love Celestia so much and it’s been great to film me exploring there!!
Ditto finds a clue!
Ditto is searching for missing expedition members and has to track down a number of clues… where will these clues lead him and Madame Jasmine? I do enjoy these non-combat research quests, because I get to explore the wonders of the undersea world without getting beat up too badly…
It’s Carl! Happy Halloween Edition…
Carl is back with some fun Halloween jokes! Happy Friday!!
The Jokes:
Q. Why are vampires like false teeth?
A. They come out at night.
Q. What can’t you give the headless horseman?
A. A headache.
Q. What is a witch’s favorite subject in school?
A. Spelling
Ditto fixes the leaking dome!!
So after many duels (26 crustaceans defeated!) I finally retrieved the four bottles of sealant needed to stop the leaks in the dome! It’s about time – the water was starting to get deep, and I’m not much of a swimmer! I do hate it when my fur gets wet. After getting all the required cans of sealant, I went to work plugging leaks! It was exciting, and a lot more fun than getting hit by meteor strikes…
Ditto versus lots and lots of Crustacean Pincers.
Still exploring in Celestia, I am still fighting many, many Crustacean Pincers. They’re pretty stingy with the dome sealant I need to find to, you know, stop the dome from filling with water. As I fight and defeat more and more pincers who do NOT drop sealant, I start to panic over the water that seems to be rising steadily… I mean, these Marleybone explorers can do the doggy paddle, but me…
Sunday Special: A Tour of Ditto’s Houses…
I’ve been promising to this forever, and it’s finally here… Of course it was completely unscripted and my houses are more or less undecorated, so it’s probably not the best tour ever, but I take you through my Fire Tower, including my mysterious Drake Hatchery; my beach hut with it’s hidden passageways; my Sultan’s Palace, with the beginnings of my festival grounds; and finally my newest house, the amazing Sun Palace with it’s giant ape and hidden grotto! They’re all connected by a portal network I put together, so I can pop back and forth between them.
I do need to start decorating – I’ve got lots of decorations, I just need take the time to organize them and put some themes together, like the Dragon Hatchery.
