My friend Shaun is moving to another country soon. I’ve talked about him before, and there’s a reddit thread about him here. He acquired every achievement shortly before Mists of Pandaria’s launch. I’ve known him since middle school, and like I said, he’s moving to another country next month. To prepare for this, he’s been giving away practically everything he owns. I took some of his weights and a pull-up bar, but that’s not really applicable to this blog. He had Collector’s Editions of all the World of Warcraft expansions, and I accepted The Burning Crusade Collector’s Edition because it was the only one I didn’t have!

Of course, the key’s been used, but that’s not really why I took it. It’s also missing the WoW CCG cards. However, it has the mousepad, art book, and behind-the-scenes DVD. I’m looking forward to preusing them more. In fact, I don’t think I finished looking at the Mists of Pandaria art book! (I like to be surprised in game.)

Thank you for the gift, Shaun / Scyber / Scybear / Yuber. Enjoy your new country!

 

Beating WoW: The story of the amazing Scybear

I wanted to include a picture of my friend Shaun with me at the top of this post before talking about him, but we looked really stupid in high school so I couldn’t do it. Instead, I found this old video clip that jokingly explained why an acquaintance of ours, kuno5, stopped joining our IRC channel. Shaun uses the name Scyber online along with a few others such as Yuber and variations of Scyber.

I met Shaun in middle school, and we became best friends. After graduating and heading to college, I stopped seeing him as much, but we’re still friends. As teenagers we got into a lot of various kinds of trouble together. Luckily, neither of us were successfully expelled! A couple years ago he was nice enough to buy me a BlizzCon ticket so we could hang out, which was very cool of him.

He recently claimed to have beaten World of Warcraft, but some of his friends didn’t believe him. We could debate what beating the game means to help decide whether or not he did. On the other hand, we could check his character (at least before Mists of Pandaria releases) to see that he has 100% of the achievements. Yeah, I think he beat it.

He answered some questions on reddit, so feel free to check that out. I like that someone realized who he was in iRO (Ragnarok Online) as well.

If I recall correctly you were Yuber there, right? Me and my friends would tell tales of legend of the guy with full +10 gears, +10 Steel Chonchon carded Full plates, whatever. With this WoW milestone you’re essentially one of the final bosses of MMO gaming, though. Rock on.

He’s pretty much beaten two MMOs. Back in iRO, he kicked me from the guild for not playing enough. That summer I was eating, sleeping, and playing Ragnarok. I was sleeping too much apparently.

Also, remember how I didn’t want to share a picture of us? Well here’s one of him from the last day of our junior year in high school tying up a couple girls.

And reddit user Roboticide called him well-adjusted! Okay, actually he is a pretty well-adjusted guy! Congratulations, Shaun!
