    You know what’s not a good idea? Changing your laptop’s OS before leaving on vacation and thinking, "eh, WoW works fine under Wine, I don’t have to worry about silly things like testing. And this OS seems to be running fine – I can’t think...

    Turkeys

    Stupid turkeys. Killing 40 turkeys with 30 seconds between each kill is going to be the death of me. I even had it at 39 of 40 yesterday and a friggin’ warlock decided to curse the turkey I was standing on top of. Thanks, you...

    Dualboxing melee

    I mentioned this to The Mighty Gresh on twitter – I started dual-boxing again (so I could power-level my rogue to 60 using Recruit-a-Friend [so I could pickpocket junkboxes for Insane in the Membrane]). I’ll actually be leveling two or three alts this way –...

    On Shadowmourne and raiding (or lack thereof)

    So word on the street is that Shadowmourne finally has stats. Sexy, sexy stats. And, yeah, it breaks my heart a little bit to know that I’ll never have a Shadowmourne, or that my shaman will never have a Val’anyr, and I’ll probably never see...

    Warning: Construction Ahead

    Man, I haven’t gotten to use one of those images since the 90s. Anyway – this site, along with all my others, will shortly be migrating to a new VPS hosted by Linode. What does that mean for you? Not a whole lot, except that...

    It’s not a meme, it’s a survey

    At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Hinenuitepo at Death Goddess has a DPS version of that healer and tank set of surveys that’s been going around, and I’m a sheep who needs blog fodder. Baaaaa.

  • Scourge fashion

    Scourge fashion

    Anybody else find it a little weird that some of the tier 10 armor kind of looks like you took a random Scourge into a back alley and beat the crap out of them for their gear? Blizzard is definitely getting pretty wild with some...
