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….

Chrismoose!

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!!!!
