    Mounts, loopholes, BLU, and a CYOA update

    Posted on September 1, 2010 | 1 Comment
    Choose-your-own-adventure update Bishamel has hit 18 and is paused there briefly while I do some other things. I’ll do a full update at 20. Suffice to say that prot paladinning is awesome, and holy crap does HoR do some serious damage at that level. I...

    CYOA: Another pretty face

    Posted on August 22, 2010 | 15 Comments
    Meet Bishamel. He’s a blood elf paladin. Hooray! Belfadin was the #1 vote (due in large part thanks to the campaigning efforts of Tart), and so I started with a different name and chopped off letters and rearranged them until I got this guy. Currently,...

    Choose your own adventure–actually, choose mine

    So some people, I’m sure, are still merrily plugging along on their Kingslayer title, or hardmodes, or what-have you. Not me. I do have plans for BLU, but none of them involve killing Arthas. A lot of people are in the beta. Not me, I’m...

    Taking Battleground PvP Lessons from Team Fortress 2

    Posted on August 4, 2010 | 3 Comments
    While taking a brief break from World of Warcraft, I played quite a bit of Team Fortress 2. It’s always an entertaining break from the same old games – I like the concept of a class-based shooter, but I’m not into the gritty realness of...

    As if I needed more motivation for Cataclysm

    Posted on August 2, 2010 | 5 Comments
    With this change, Cataclysm is so purchased. (via mmo-c, mostly posted so I can say "hey, look at me, I’m still alive")

    A touch of burnout

    Posted on July 12, 2010 | 1 Comment
    That goofy looking orange-mohawked troll is Zabrajin, my troll shaman, and right now leveling him the rest of the way to 80 is the only thing I really want to do in World of Warcraft. Which puts me in a bit of a bind, since...

    Weighing in on the forum Real ID issue

    Posted on July 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Yeah, I could get behind the use of Real IDs and real names contained entirely in the game (in the form of Real ID chat), but I can’t even try to start and defend what they’re doing with the forums in Cataclysm. I feel certain...

    Real ID: here’s some info, now stop with the righteous indignation

    Share this post with your friends. I was going to write an actual post about numbers and the top 5 specs for each class from data mined from the top 20 PvE guilds in the world, but instead, I’m going to just put this all...

    What is it with warriors?

    Posted on June 15, 2010 | 1 Comment
    Yeah, I’m going to pick on warriors. I’ve been running instances from the teens up through the high 20s on Rhododendron and Brynhild, and while occasionally you’ll get something like Softi’s hunter with a growling, aggressive pet, or someone DPSing in Ragefire Chasm in bearform...
