    What is it with warriors?

    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...

    Let’s play money making game.

    It’s no secret that for the finer things in WoW, cash is involved. Nothing puts a strain on your pocket like raiding repair bills, trying to gem and enchant the upgrades you do get, trying to buy things to buff up sets (why the hell...

    Ask a reasonable question … get a stupid answer.

    I decided to take a page from Saresa’s Hermia’s playbook and ask Twitter to do all the work for me. Little did I know Twitter wanted to find out about things other than WoW, so now it’s time to pretend to be an authority on...

    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...

    Vanity pets are ruining the game (too)

    For what it’s worth, I originally had a video of Lil’ K.T. zapping Big K.T.’s cat into a block of ice then cackling about it. But guess what scrub left that on his home computer and forgot to edit it and put it on Youtube...

  • Two things your DK tank wants to tell you

    Two things your DK tank wants to tell you

    1) Hold off on that AOE for just a second if you would. Death and Decay is less like a Thunder Clap and more like a Consecration: a pulsing mass of energy on the ground that steadily builds threat. It is not a huge spike...

  • Places to be, versus places to die

    Places to be, versus places to die

    There seems to be a new trend in instances these days: more, quicker, faster, get in – get the loot and badges – get out. Take the money and run, as it were. Now, I like the loot from ToC and Ulduar as much as...

    Not Terribly Final

    Obviously, the only logical thing to do now that I’ve been linked to by WoW.com is to, of course, blog about something that’s not WoW. (Of course, to be fair, they linked to the bacon sandwich post. So we’re already off to a rockin’ start.)...

  • How do you deal with “exploders”?

    How do you deal with “exploders”?

    You know the ones, the exploders – at the first hint of trouble, be it someone in the wrong place or someone asking a question on Vent at the wrong time, they’re the first ones to let their tempers flare. They’re quick with a “if...

  • Orphans? Bah

    Orphans? Bah

    Ordinarily, I’d be all about a holiday, but Blizzard’s desire to shove nonsensical PvP requirements into primarily PvE achievements is getting really old. There’s a reason why Zulfon can be “Zulfon the Noble,” and Queklain is always “Queklain the Hallowed,” but you’ll probably never see...
