  • The first five things I’m doing after 3.3 drops

    The first five things I’m doing after 3.3 drops

    Borrowed from Bible of Dreams: Get into LFG and finish the 5-mans, straight off the bat. I was blathering Ratshag’s ear off again this morning on IM about how there’s 1, maybe 2 drops in all of the first two instances for me… and then...

  • 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...

    Shared Topic: Fails

    The lovely Saresa proffers up this Shared Topic at the Twisted Nether Blogcast and on Blog Azeroth, which in turn was proposed by Skraps from the hilariously named ShamWoW: I am sure this topic has been covered, but among all my other fails I fail...

  • Truck Fains

    Truck Fains

    Ladies and gentlemen: I hate toy trains. I hate them. I hate them with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. I despise them, I want to destroy them. People put them down during anytime anyone is talking in Vent, and it makes me want...

  • Weighing in on dual specs

    Weighing in on dual specs

    I have very few actual thoughts on dual spec, other than that it’s a Good Thing. I can’t say I’m super-excited about another cash sink on many of my alts, but I’ll manage. For me personally it’ll save me a lot of respecs and reglyphs...

    Our knights of the bug swarm, summoners of gargoyles and ghouls, heavily armored warlocks – call them what you will, Unholy is a heavily-represented Death Knight spec, favored by both those who love it for what it is, and those who love it because it...
