A quiet hush
Saturday, May 15th, 2010*Edit* I originally had issues getting this to post. SO I had to retype it twice because of a wordpress issue. In doing so I made some mistakes and have since corrected them. I do sincerely apologize to Daniel for the misinformation I had given out.*Edit*
About a year ago a quiet hush fell over the hunter community. Bigredkitty aka Daniel Howell announced he was quitting the game. His life was taking some changes and realized he had not prioritized very well. He didn’t just slow down he went cold turkey. Just shut things down all at once. The forum stayed alive with the help of the hunter community. And the blog was just in archive state. Then he posted a while back about a database crash and with that he hadn’t backed it up locally in a while so all was lost.
He had a booming blog that hunters and non hunters read daily awaiting the next bit of information. He had started doing movies for Project Lore, he had a very active forum that the hunter community helped him maintain and moderate. There was podcasts and spirit beast toys. Some out right badass shirts.Then one day he announced he was done, his personal life was being changed and it was because of many things including WoW.
Three days ago he posted about cooking a steak. But while trying to give the recipe he was interrupted by a phone call. This loudmouthed biologist with a fetish for crabs was being cryptic and pushy. While doing 110 in his Audi on the PCH it hit him. But what hit him was still unsure all we knew was Brandi was drinking mello yello and about to pour it out on his seats….
The next day another post trying to finally get the recipe for the steak out and again interrupted by the phone. This time the guy with the fetish for crustations is at Arby’s and they cant get his order right. and then starts to talk about summer plans and how Daniel is a sly dog. But the line was drawn and he apologized for going to far. Apparently Pike, she was the other hunter blogger BRK consulted in regards to anything not beastmastery, was scared of the picture on her caller id when she was called. With that a email was supposed to be sent.
Yesterday he posted about yet another attempt to get the recipe out for us to have and enjoy. Even went as far as turning off the phone. Just as he starts to begin doorbell rings….who could this be? Some dude wearing a brown uniform and carrying a small box. So he signs for it opens it up and ring a ding ding its a phone and is ringing. He answers it thinking wtf??? Its this guy Greg that has been harassing him for two days now about something he insinuated was the alpha test of Cataclysm. This time hes going on about sharpies and his girl wanting one. And then Greg is barking orders to his PA about the sharpies and emails. Finally he says BRK we need you in my alpha.
Pay is mentions and then shot down by the fact Greg had already paid tribute to Daniel via this weapon from Heroic Trial of the Crusader. The BRK 1000 a gun that smells faintly of raspberries….
So it looks like from all this that Greg is actually Chostcrawler from the WoW dev team and has invited Daniel to bring back Bigredkitty for the alpha. And since his son is going to be staying with his ex-wife for the summer Daniel is accepting the offer!
The hunter community is a buzz with this news, unsure if its a hoax and joke or is Bigredkitty really coming back? If you try to goto Bigredkitty.net you are welcomed with a very elusive comic.
Those damn enterprising goblins
Funny enough when Daniel announced his quiting WoW it was made through a post regarding cooking a steak…
