Video for Malistaire’s Lament! As heard on The Daring Adventures of Ditto and Ravenwood Radio!

I have gotten so much great feedback from this song, and had so many people ask me for an MP3 of it, that I wanted to do something fun and new with it, something I had never tried before, so I created a video for the song!!  I used cuts from the original Malistaire commercial for Wizard101 and some parts of the Malistaire battle cutscene.  I hope people like it – I really like how it came out!

The MP3 is also available here:

Malistaire’s Lament – MP3

Lyrics: (To the tune of ‘Jack’s Lament’ from Nightmare Before Christmas)

There are few who deny at what I do I am the best, my dark magic is renowned far and wide.
When it comes to surprises in the dragonspyre night, I excel without ever really trying,

With the slightest little effort of my death school charms,
I have seen grown kroks give out a shriek!

With the wave of my hand and a well placed spell,
I have swept the best of wizards off their feet…

But year after year it’s the same routine,
and I grow so wearing of the sound of screams…
I tire of this role, if they only understood,
I’d give it all up if I only could….

Ditto and Madame Jasmine search for lost dock workers!

While exploring deep in the jungles of the mysterious Floating Land, Ditto gets an urgent summons! It seems that some of the Marleybone dock workers are lost in the deep jungle, so Ditto and Madame Jasmine need to go search for them and help them get back. I won’t even make a joke about Marleybonians and trees…

So far the floating Land is really exciting, but I’d love to get back down below and keep exploring the lost civilization of Celestia… Its so beautiful and cool down there. Hopefully I’ll be able to find those submersible parts soon!!

Ditto the Medicine Man

After defeating many crazy water moles, the water mole chief tells me that there are even more water moles getting sick, and if we don’t do something quick they will go crazy as well. Of course in this case ‘we’ means ‘me’, so I head over to talk to a waterfall to get some medicine. Man, these water moles need better health care…

Being Silly in Wizard 101 – Ditto takes on the Mythbusters!

So I was hanging out this morning, eating a wheat bagel and watching episodes of my favorite show, Mythbusters, on Netflix, and I had a silly idea.  You see, I had to run multiple accounts of Wizard101 for my party on Friday, to run my port bus character at the same time I was hosting the party.  That gave me an idea to play multiple characters at once, and watching Jamie and Adam’s wacky antics this morning I realized I had never played a Myth character, so my crazy idea solidified…

Meet the Mythbreakers

With a little tweaking, I got my multiple accounts running and created two new characters – Adam and James Mythbreaker, my tribute to those bastions of practical science.  What am I going to do with them?  Much like The Mythbusters themselves, I have no idea what I’m going to do with these characters… but I know whatever I do, it’s going to be fun!  Stay tuned for the adventures of Adam and James as we adventure through the spiral and maybe, just maybe, bust some Wizard101 myths…  Anyone have any ideas or suggestions??

Thanks from Ditto – Second Wizardversary Party!!

Wow what a night!!  First of all, thank you EVERYONE who came out to my two year wizardversary party last night.  There were so many people there – I have no idea how many, but at one point in the night there were separate groups doing things in all five of the main houses, people were messaging me from the ‘secret’ Dragonspyre fortress house, and both PVP rings were full.  I actually had to move from house to house fairly regularly because it looked like the houses were getting so full it wouldn’t let people port – especially in the Sultan’s Palace, where one of the biggest PVP parties ended up.  There was constant PVP going on there for at least three hours – I ended up going to bed a little after 11pm with several houses still full of guests!

Special thanks goes to Paige Moonshade, who helped me out with one of the hide and seek games and who was a major inspiration for my major decorating spree (Most of those houses were completely undecorated as of a week ago…) , and of course thanks to my friends at Ravenwood Radio, Fallon and Stephen and IcyWiz, who helped to spread the word about the party.

If I didn’t get to talk to some people last night, I do apologize – I had no idea how many people were going to show up, and I was pretty busy the whole night.  Feedback from people has been great, and I’m so glad everyone had a good time.

Finally, for the winners of the Kirin Mounts I’d like to apologize – some the codes I sent out seem to be faulty, though I’m not sure why – the Kirin I was riding last night came from the same list of codes, so I know they worked a few days ago.  I’m working on the issue now and should be able to fix it soon.  I’ll notify the winners when I have more information.  Again, sorry about that.

So thank you again, and I hope to do this again soon!!  (But not TOO soon… need time to recover!!!)
