    Bits and pieces

    Apologies for the sudden unexpected silence. I’ve had bits and pieces of posts bouncing around in my head; none of them fully fleshed themselves out, so here they are glued together into some semblance of a post. Patch 3.3.3 for DK tanks And yes, no...

    I have my orders

    Big Red Heimdall sez, "UPDATE YOUR DAMN BLOG!" And so, a screenshot post. I’ve got a couple months worth, this could be fun. As always, click to embiggen, or hover to read snarky alt text.. First up, one of my favorite sights in WoW: a...

  • We were all boneheads once

    We were all boneheads once

    A digression: This is not about anything new. This is just me being mildly nostalgic. Though my current account says December ’07, I actually started playing WoW in the fall of ’05. Specifically, sometime around Patch 1.8.0 or its successors – I know it was...

    The World (of Warcraft) Is Just Awesome

    So that’s been making the rounds, so there you go. I love it, especially Illidan’s little cameo, and – oh God – is Archimonde humping the World Tree? What has been seen cannot be unseen. After finishing up my Fool for Love requirements, I finally...

    Where is Stratholme? Really?

    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...

    Kahorie’s DK Simulator

    I was chatting with some people on Vent the other night when it came up with one guy was having a problem: both SimulationCraft and Rawr (fine tools in their own right, don’t get me wrong!) seemed to be low-balling his death knight’s DPS –...

  • Shaking off the dust; WoW resolutions

    Shaking off the dust; WoW resolutions

    Unrelated note: how many times did I type "reoslutions" instead of resolutions? If you guessed 3, you’re a winner. So the holiday lull is over and the new year begins. My real life resolutions for 2010 aren’t anything impressive, and I’ve been cheating on WoW...

    Behold! A guest post from the inimitable Leafshine

    Here, fresh from drawing my name in the Blog Azeroth Kris Kringle post exchange, is Leafy himself, who brings us a bit of good family fun and British humour from across the pond (WoW-themed, of course). At least, that’s what he assures me it is,...

  • Letting it languish

    Letting it languish

    Ah, December – that time of the year where I typically let my blog posts trickle to a minimum. Not out of neglect for you, O dear reader, all 3 of you. No no – I simply find a lot of other things to do...
