GrizzlyAdams does NOT have a beard!!!

Over the course of the last few days, I thrust myself back into the world of alts and created a new character… a class I have never played and one that irritated me since the beginning of the game… a Hunter. Even the character creation screen was irritating, rejecting my first few names. By the way, who else in their right mind (other than me) would have come up with a character name of Dirk McGirk?!

Bastage.

So my new alt, aptly named ShootrMcGavn (had to shorten it because it wouldn’t all fit) to pay homage to Happy Gilmore, began his quest in Durotar. Now coming from an Undead Rogue with an ungodly number of “days played” (I have never leveled an alt past 28… and my current highest is around 26), my knowledge of the Durotar quests is a bit limited, especially starting in the Orc village. But, I got through the quests, got used to playing a ranged DPS class, and even got myself a nifty pet… a ravager from the Draenai starting zone. Boy, was that fun trying to get to that area as Horde. =p

I was thinking about naming him RobertPaulson… his name is Robert Paulson… his name is Robert Paulson… but I felt that I should keep with the Happy Gilmore theme and name him GrizzlyAdams. I was upset because he does not have a beard, and he should, because he’s Grizzly Adams, and he had a beard according to Lee Travino. So Grizzly and I ventured out into Durotar, killed some bad dudes, got ganked by some jerkoff 19 Dwarf Hunter (who got promptly snuffed by the 58 Orc Hunter that was following me), leveled my pet a bit more, geared out myself in the finest AH greens, and routinely poked fun at guildmates that did not immediately grasp what was so funny about my character/pet name combination.

Other than that, I haven’t really got into the meat and potatoes of the alt game. I haven’t tried out my PvP skills as a hunter… if any… and I still need to get some better gear and get used to playing in a group. I’m sure it will come to me eventually. If anything, this will train me on leveling an alt efficiently once the Death Knight class is released… if they start at level 1 of course.

Oh and Virginia, my jacket size is 44 long and… my right arm is just, a little bit longer than my left… =)
