  • Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    I feel this dog pretty accurately sums up my reaction to the preview. The shaman preview made me have to change my pants with joy; the warlock preview kinda sucked until I realized it was mostly outright or stealth buffs to my all-time favorite tree,...

  • The slime isn’t flowing

    The slime isn’t flowing

    Really no content here: just a "Putricide down, hooray!" post. I’d put up a screenshot if I had one, but I don’t. I think Nibuca probably does. You could tell the moment where everything just sort of clicked – people were executing, everything seemed to...

    The Putricide tango; or, anecdotal advice on positioning the Professor

    Professor Putricide is starting to be a fun fight for me. The first few times we were in there, even as late as last week, I felt kind of like I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. After looking at...

  • Rotface

    Rotface

    Just do your best to pretend that’s actually a picture of Rotface being downed by my guild on our last attempt of the night and not a picture of Rotface rotated 90 degrees, would you kindly? We forgot to take a screenshot, and besides, my...

    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...

  • Still alive

    Still alive

    Just nothing to post here, really. Got unexpectedly pulled in to tank in ICC-10 when a spot opened up and I was on standby. I probably should’ve passed to the other person who could’ve tanked and was also on standby, because holy shit I am...
