Ditto finishes WinterTusk!

Ditto really wanted to get some more videos in WinterTusk, because it was a GREAT world and the quests and mythology were wonderful, but I’ve had trouble getting time to record videos lately and I really wanted to get through to the end – I was very wrapped up in the story!

I finally beat the Coven and all their naughtiness and once again saved a world in The Spiral, ensuring the great frost giant Ymir remained asleep!  What a great story!

Finishing the story was great, but getting there was an amazing ride, too!  The Coven wants to awaken Ymir, the frost giant – a VERY big guy – and basically end the world.  To stop him, Ditto needed to travel the different realms in WinterTusk and win golden seals, get dragon’s teeth, brew potions, and my favorite – mystically transform into a raven to sneak through a dragon skull gate!!

Overall it was a great, fun time, and a wonderful storyline that was really engaging! If you haven’t done WinterTusk I highly recommend it!!

Ditto in WinterTusk – facing down Ormand the Surly!

Ditto faces down ‘Ormand the Surly’ to get a mythical shovel, and ponders just how someone would get a name like ‘surly’…  it turns out he was definitely quite surly!

After that, Ditto brings the pick and the shovel to Kettil and has to break through a big icy barrier wall – so cool!  (Get it?  cool…) Then for fun, Ditto plays a rousing game of Shock-A-Lock!! It’s probably the easiest game of Shock-A-Lock ever played, I think…

Finally, Ditto talks to Thyra Brightspell, a friend of Grandmother Ravens’, and learns of the dreaded ‘Dragon Gate’…

Ditto introduces Stephen LifeSinger!

As many people know, Ditto has been playing an alt – Stephen LifeSinger, a newbie Life/Myth wizard – isn’t he cute?  Alts can be a lot of fun, and it’s really amazing how much different it is playing the game as Life versus Fire – such fun!!

Anyway – I’m not going to record lots with him, but I wanted to do a quick video to introduce him.  Any hints or tips folks can give on playing a life wizard? Gear, alternate spells, deck hints?  I’d love to hear them!

Ditto in WinterTusk, dueling with Marek The Lean

Ditto is in WinterTusk – I’ve been working on getting through WinterTusk because I know I missed a bunch of good stuff and some spells.  Here I’m working towards getting the Golden Seals, and I need to defeat Marek the Lean for his magical pick!   It’s a good duel and lots of fun – I like going back through and doing the WinterTusk quests!
Sorry if the video is kind of dark – it was a very dark day and even with the lights on it seems  kind of dark.

Captain Ditto heads to Elder Bluff

Once Captain Ditto made it out of the Bison Burial Grounds, he headed to Elder Bluff to speak to the Bison guys about their stolen artifacts.  Of course, the Bison aren’t really all that talkative, so Ditto and his trusty first mate had to clash with the top Bison warriors before the chief would even speak to them.  Ditto is really stressed by all this fighting…  I think my fur is singed a bit.
