  • Tour de Tuxedo – First Leg

    Tour de Tuxedo – First Leg

    I decided it’d be a fun interlude from my usual cycle of heroics, raids, and blacksmithing to take a break and do a little achievement whoring participation in the current world event going on, the Lunar Festival. And, to spice things up, I decided to...

    My n52te Layout

    I’d been putting off writing a post about my n52te layout for a while now; then someone had to go and ask about it. Ready for an in-depth look at the peripheral I can’t game without? Here goes. (Besides, how often do I get to...

    This is where it all happens

    Inspired by Matticus and Kestrel, I figured I’d shoot up a photo of my workspace. It’s a bit dim, sorry ‘bout that – I had to take it with my cameraphone because I haven’t seen my real camera since I moved in November. (Click to...

  • Spiky health loss begone

    Spiky health loss begone

    … or at least be-lessened. (Why isn’t that a word?) One of the biggest complaints about death knights as tanks (especially in 5-mans, though I hear the complaint at times from those healing uncrittable death knight tanks as well) is how “spiky” their health loss...

    Touching is good, but not for abominations

    This is ordinarily where I’d give you an update on how I’m doing or what I’ve been up to but, to be honest, it’s not that interesting: I’ve done some heroics, I’ve gotten some new gear, I’ve skilled mining an unreasonably high amount considering I’m...
