Twice a week, our writers will tell you more about themselves, and let you get to know them and the characters they play a little better. Click here to read more About the Bloggers.
What do you do for WoW Insider?
I'm a shiny new everyday blogger. I started working here at the end of May 2008.
What's your main right now?
My main is a level 68.85 70 (as of 6/28) Tauren shaman named Slig (US Drenden). A lot of people ask me why I play a male toon. In fact, Slig is my only male character. I don't so much identify with him as an avatar, but it's more like I have a crush on him. I love my Sligger.
For the Horde or Glory to the Alliance?
Horde, definitely, although I dabble plenty with Alliance alts. I really like the counter-culture, subversive, non-conformist attitude of the Horde. I also like how they make their cities and towns out of the shapes of the environment around them. Whoa, that sure sounds fruity.
Favorite thing to do in Azeroth?
I like to discover new areas and then go kill things there. Lately I've been getting a big charge out of the bombing runs in Nagrand.
What's the best instance in the game?
Embarrassed to say that I haven't done all that many instances. I rock Scarlet Monetary though.
What's the number one thing Blizzard could do better?
Hire me. No, seriously, I've been trying to get a job there for two years. Okay, more related to gameplay, you say? Fine. I think for the most part Blizzard is doing a fine job. My only slight frustration with the game is not having enough non-PvP, solo-able content for higher level players.
Favorite mount?
Mount I own or mount I've seen? I love my Great White Kodo. Kodos crack me up. Mount I aspire to have some day? A roflcopter.When I'm not playing WoW, I'm...
Writing on my own blog, The Game Dame, riding my bike, dancing Lindy Hop with my husband, playing with my two cats, knitting. Who doesn't!
What accomplishment in-game are you most proud of?
Okay see, I find this to be a very odd question. I don't really feel "proud" of virtual accomplishments except as they relate to areas where I've improved myself. For example, I've long been known to be a horrible PvP player. So tonight I was pretty proud of myself for taking down some folks who jumped me in a 2 vs. 1 fight. I was stomping around my apartment going, "IN YOUR FACE!" to the cats. Sad, really.Other games I enjoy are ...
Anything Lorne Lanning does; he's my gaming god. (Oh, hey, Oddworld Inhabitants can hire me too!) I play all the Oddworld games over and over. Recently I've also enjoyed Mass Effect and Bioshock. I'm waiting breathlessly for Little Big Planet to come out.

@Badger - If you post an image of a female on the Internet, it is the Internet's first reaction to judge whether or not they would like to have sex with her.
It's best sometimes to just ignore it.

My husband will be so pleased.

Natalie, your husband is a lucky guy. Unlike D1, you can carry on a conversation.

I see. So that was D1's way of telling us he's a pig. 'Preciate the translation.

Yet another Horde blogger on an already Horde-biased webpage.

Nice to meet you. I'm a jerk sometimes. But not this time. I just like to process digital photos. I'm weird like that.

How could I fix this picture? I have no idea but would love to see.

Clem said...
Yes; too much horde here.
Also; let's have more level 70 perspective. It's like an entire other game at 70; you know?

sadly for people like me, the game stops at 70 :/
to hell with it, there's always alts!

Natalie Mootz said...
Hey Clem, thanks for your opinion. The other writers here have plenty of level 70s. I was hired to help newer players. There are actually people below 70 who like to play the game.

Natalie Mootz said...
Hey Clem, as I said above, you already have plenty of writers blogging for people at level 70. Endgame players are NOT underserved WoW Insider. So just skip the posts you don't want to read. I know I do that with the comments!

Natalie: I think he was being sarcastic. Just a guess, though. :)
