My Furtive Father Winter 2013 Gift!

 

Hopefully everyone's had a brilliant Winter Veil so far. Following Christmas with my family I checked my emails yesterday to find that I had received my FFW gift - which was very exciting - and it was from none other than Akabeko Runetotem of Red Cow Rise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's what Aka said in the email...

Surprise! You're my FFW person :) I've always really liked the name of your blog, because Azeroth is a really lovely place that has plenty of beautiful scenery to admire. I also enjoy your screenshots immensely. Because of that, and in honor of you being a draenei, I decided to showcase the draenei starting zone! If only there had been a way to take a screenshot of that relaxing woodwind zone music...

Happy Winter Veil! ;)

Furtive Father Winter: Take 2

The past few days I've been working on my second FFW gift. A few of the recent events participants were yet to receive their gifts and Aka had made the decision to arrange secondary back-up gifts. I volunteerd to produce a gift for one of these poor peeps and got Tyledres.

I started reading Tyledres' blog before Christmas so had a feel for her blog style and game interests. My biggest issue was what to produce for someone who's been waiting this long for their gift!?! It was like extra pressure.

In the end I came up with what I thought was a suitable gift. For me my favourite feature of Tyledres blog is her "Who's the Warcraft Pet?" game / mini-competition. It had also occurred to me that she doesn't get to play these games as she's too busy creating them. And so my gift idea was born - a companion pet quiz.

My quiz encompassed 3 rounds: hybrids, colour inverts and a wordsearch. I won't give too much away as Tyledres has decided to spread the 3 rounds over several days with the answers being revealed on Tuesday. So stop by her blog over the next couple of days and see if you can work out the answers too. Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Answers

Also a quick reminded for anyone who missed my blogs the first time around - you can view my gift to Kaliy here and all about what I received here!

My Furtive Father Winter Gift!

Ok, so I've been a bit dense! I've been checking my email looking for my gift and thought that I hadn't received it. However, I had! You know how some people can't be trusted with technology well I'm a bit like that. I thought I'd set my email so that nothing went into spam but how wrong I was.

So, my gift was from Eric "Xsinthis" Dekker of The Golden Crusade... Who's blog I not only happen to follow but I have also commented on the awesome FFW gift he got. Eric, all I can say is thank you and apologies for not finding it sooner!!!

Here it is...

Winter Veil is here and with it comes several pets for you to collect! The holiday season is also filled with gift giving spirit, and what better gift to give than an adorable World of Warcraft pet to your favourite WoW player (even if your favourite WoW player is you!).

Blog Azeroth's Furtive Father Winter 2012

I've decided to take part in this years Furtive Father Winter event. This isn't exactly a Blog Azeroth: Shared Topic more a Blog Azeroth community event. It is being hosted by Akabeko over at Red Cow Rise and has been featured by WoW Insider this week.

The event is basically a virtual secret santa with participants being given a gift recipient whom they have to purchase (or rather produce something) for. For more information on how the event works see Redcow's original post and the Blog Azeroth thread.

I'm really looking forward to this event and would like to encourage everyone interested to take part - after all the more the merrier!
