I’m not sure if anyone reads this blog anymore, but just in case a few of you do, I am happy to announce that the book I’ve been working on for years is complete and available in eBook format. You can find the details and links to many different
It’s occurred to me that I’ve announced this pretty much everywhere BUT here, so I thought I’d announce this here in case you’ve missed it and are interested… *clears throat* I have a new video game oriented blog, called
It’s occurred to me that I haven’t updated this blog in over a month, and as such I should probably say something. So here is the truth: I have unofficially and unceremoniously quit WoW again. Upon hitting 85 on my main, I looked around and
Now I need to figure out what to do next! In other news, I did Vortex Pinnacle. Guess what? I got to TRAP. My only issue is that I’m still sort of trying to figure out Trap Launcher. I seem to I run into weird LOS issues when I least expect it,
That’s Magmadar. Yes, as in that Magmadar. Solo-tamed him. And yes, I know, he turns into just your average core hound pet once the tame is complete, but there’s something awesome about knowing what he used to be: A 40-man raid boss. Can you
Cataclysm is really shaping up to be exceeding my expectations. Just playing alts is keeping me more than occupied. I haven’t felt this way since I started playing in ’07. It’s really great. Both of my high-level hunters are now 81.
Guys, I don’t know what happened. I rolled a Worgen mage just to see the starting zone. And then log out. That’s all. I swear, that’s all. But all of a sudden it’s a couple feverish days later and I’m level 22 and all I want

So if Twitter is any indication, 90% of the WoW-playing world is happy about the return of CC and “hard heroics” that went the way of the Dodo in Wrath of the Lich King. But I gotta admit, I’m not entirely with you hallelujah-singers.
I rolled a Worgen, and I liked it. You have to understand, I have been pro-Goblin since the Goblin and Worgen mask rumors showed up on MMO-Champion a couple years back. Worgens in Goldshire, I loudly proclaimed, would be the reason I perma-switched to
Today’s post is a shoutout to Lanjelin’s Signature Generator. Now, through the years, there have been a lot of WoW signature generators out there. Many of these promised all sorts of shiny things like huge amounts of customization and automatic
In celebration of the new Moonkin Hatchling pet I have created these two avatars, free for all to use! It is surprisingly difficult to take something that is already insanely cute and make it even cuter, but these will have to do! You are free to use
I have been slowly (slowly) meandering my way across Azeroth inbetweeen work and NaNoWriMo and other things, and yesterday I wound up in Darkshore, specifically, the ruins of Auberdine. The whole town is recognizable, but completely wrecked. Familiar
As usual I have the best readers. I mention offhandedly in a post that I can’t afford Cataclysm and the next thing I know I have enough money to cover it a few times over. So at this point, not only can I snag Cata and some WoW cards, but I can
I want to thank the huge response my art commissions announcement got. It was so huge, in fact, that it warrants this second announcement, which is basically to say that if you are still waiting on your art, don’t worry, you’re in a queue.
Three years ago I tamed the Teal Kitty. I wanted the teal kitty ever since I set eyes on it, since teal is and always has been my favorite color. There were two, Shy’Rotam, summonable via a quest (back then, only available for Horde only)…
So I was feeling pretty happy about hitting 20k words (exactly!) in my NaNoWriMo today so I decided to dink around in WoW for an hour or two. The first cool thing that happened was getting WSG for my random battleground, seeing that our ragtag group of
Over the last three and a half years I have sent three hunters and two druids through this portal but this is my first warlock. Obviously the ceremonial screenshot had to happen. I love how Tawbree is as big as Lil’ XT. Now my favorite part about
As we are all aware, the best part of the new patch for hunters is being able to tame about a million more pets. Hunters have collectively been dreaming of this day since the stable could only hold three pets, and now it is finally ours. …granted,
Interested in having your very own customized World of WarCute avatar? (aka, a cute-ification of your character? Or pretty much anything else, for that matter?) You know, somethin’ like this: Well, here’s the deal. For those not in the know,
Am I the only person who has never, ever been bothered by the roaring log-in screen dragon? I mean really. It’s not that loud. (At least it’s not on my computer.) And it’s kind of cool. …I mean, I know I’m also the weirdo
…terrible and geeky title references aside, I spec’d my Horde hunter Survival because, well… currently she’s Survival due to RP reasons. (You know, as “RP Reason” as I can get away with for somebody who never actually
Okay I’ve played around with Beast Mastery a bit in heroics and stuff and I have some tips for it. Note that this is not a comprehensive guide and I haven’t done any rooting around EJ or any real math or anything. OVERVIEW: Beast Mastery is
Oh hey look, my AoE DPS sucks. Just like Burning Crusade. But I do pretty good on bosses. Just like Burning Crusade. I actually have to wait for the tank to get aggro. Just like Burning Crusade. …we’re wiping. Just like Burning Crusade. This
1. Huh, so now that I avoided it the first night let’s log in and see the damage. Druid first. 2. Wow, not a big fan of new resto. Instant Cast Regrowth with Tree is nifty but eeeeeeeehhhh. Let’s try Boomkin. 3. … 4. … 5. …omg…
Hello! I’m all settled into my new place, albeit jobless (though if worse comes to worse there’s always K-Mart… u_u ) so I’m back to pester you all! Exciting, no? Let’s get down to business. 4.0 is coming out today. Don’t
There are rumors on the internets that I’m returning to Aspect of the Hare full-time. And you know what, I’d love to do that. It’ll be different. At the moment I lack both the time and interest to raid or really play “hardcore”
I was really casual about it. Did the easy quests when I remembered and didn’t stress if I skipped a day or two. (Or three, or four.) But it turned out to be a really enjoyable little grind. I would not have wished doing it at 70 upon anyone, though.
1. Bountiful Feast: Guys look at the icon on that tooltip. If you aren’t hungry now, I think something might be wrong with you. 2. Chocolate Cake Slice: Delicious cake. 3. Chocolate Square: What would YOU do for a Klondike Bar? 4. Conjured Croissant:
Armory Data Mining has some fun info on hunter pets. Now some hunters are all into having what everyone else doesn’t have– you know, so when Cataclysm comes out and everyone is running around taming everything, you can say you tamed a pet
