    Mounts, loopholes, BLU, and a CYOA update

    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...

    A touch of burnout

    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...

    Defile is the opposite of love

    Phase 1: Got this down to a science by the end of the night. Transition Phase 1: Also went well. Watching people get flung off by Ice Spheres during one of our wipes cracked me up, though. Phase 2: Well, we’ve got the next few...

    Small pieces (of posts), loosely joined (into one post)

    Not posting doesn’t mean I don’t love you guys, it just means I don’t have a whole lot to say at the moment. Let’s summarize, shall we? Raiding Progress in ICC continues apace; we steadily progress every week in 10-man, making it to either Valithria,...

    Two pics and a video

    Pic numero uno: as anyone who was on Twitter on early Sunday (just after midnight EST, in fact) saw, I finally managed to get my hands on the Reins of the White Polar Bear. No more snowballs, no more bags of water, no more questionable...

    I’m back like Ragnaros

    Didja miss me? I took my mom out to Savannah, GA for a few days for the Mother’s Day holiday; we saw various historical sites, visited the beach, survived two layovers in Atlanta, and climbed 178 steps inside a lighthouse. Fun! Now I’m back; looks...

    Enormous dragons rescued: 1/1 (Quest Complete)

    That, I found, is Blizzard’s official terminology for it in the activity log: Valithria Dreamwalker rescues. Good to know, we’d been wondering what to call it. Wiped out all of Lower Spire + Plagueworks (including one-shotting Putricide) in the first 90 minutes last night, then...

    Cata raid stuff

    Cata raid changes: for what I would probably say anyway, see Euripedes here. 10man raiding never really felt like raiding an instance for 10 players. Instead, we were traipsing through 25 player content that was lobotomized for us. It isn’t easy being a strict(ish) 10...

  • The downside to raiding with bloggers…

    The downside to raiding with bloggers…

    … is that sometimes when you say ridiculous things in chat, they get screenshotted. And blogged. E-fame is, in fact, yours, Sloppies. I love this job sometimes.
