Hello, Azeroth enthusiasts! I’m Sherry Bailey, the voice behind YellingOnTheInternet.com, where the worlds of World of Warcraft and impassioned discourse collide. My journey with WoW began in the misty realms of 2004, alongside the original adventurers who set foot into Azeroth during its launch. Little did I know, this venture into an online world would not only fuel my passion for gaming but also carve a path for my future endeavors.
Born and raised in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, I’ve always found solace in the complex narratives and expansive universes of video games. My early years were spent exploring every nook and cranny of games available on my trusty old computer, but it was World of Warcraft that truly captured my heart. The intricate lore, the boundless landscapes, and the thrill of raiding with friends made Azeroth feel like a second home.
My professional journey is somewhat intertwined with my love for WoW. I earned my degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, with a minor in Creative Writing—fueling both my analytical mind and my storytelling heart. Post-graduation, I joined a tech startup as a software developer, where I’ve been innovating in the digital space for over a decade now. The problem-solving skills and teamwork I’ve honed in WoW raids have surprisingly translated well into my career, helping me navigate complex projects and collaborative challenges.
But why start YellingOnTheInternet.com? The blog was born out of a late-night, caffeine-fueled conversation with fellow guild members after a particularly grueling raid. We were discussing (read: yelling about) various strategies, lore theories, and the state of the game. It dawned on me that our passionate debates and insights deserved a platform—a space where these thoughts could reach beyond our guild and spark discussions within the broader WoW community. The blog’s name, a cheeky nod to our heated discussions, reflects the raw, unfiltered passion we share for the game.
On a more personal note, I’m happily married to Alex, a graphic designer and fellow gamer I met during a WoW event. Together, we’ve embarked on countless Azerothian adventures, from battling the Burning Legion to exploring the mysteries of Zandalar. Our shared love for gaming has woven a unique bond, one that’s filled with playful competitiveness and mutual respect for each other’s in-game achievements.
Over the years, my experience in WoW has evolved from a casual player to a seasoned veteran. I’ve experienced the highs of downing raid bosses with my guild, the lows of frustrating PvP matches, and everything in between. My blog reflects this journey, offering a mix of in-depth analysis, speculative lore discussions, and guides for players of all levels. Whether you’re a newcomer seeking advice on your first character or a fellow veteran looking to dive into the nuances of end-game content, I aim to provide content that resonates with and enriches your WoW experience.
YellingOnTheInternet.com is more than just a blog; it’s a testament to the impact World of Warcraft has had on my life. It’s a space where I can share my thoughts, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and give back to the community that has given me so much joy over the years. As WoW continues to evolve, so will my blog, adapting to the ever-changing landscapes of Azeroth while maintaining the passionate discourse that sparked its inception.
So, whether you’re here for strategic insights, lore deep-dives, or just to join in the conversation, welcome. I’m thrilled to share my journey through Azeroth with you. Let’s keep yelling on the internet, together.
