Well it finally happened. It was bound to. I’ve ordered SWTOR. I haven’t been in any rush to get it, but I ordered it last night and it will be here in a few days. I thought I might record my thoughts about it before
Overall 7/10 As I mentioned in my Kingdom Rush mini-review a couple of weeks back I have played Goodgame Studio’s Empire game quite a bit over the last few weeks. This is my first browser game I have played for more than a few minutes.
Overall 5/10 Star Corsairs wasn’t really a priority on my list of games to give my opinion on but a recent post on the developer’s blog got me thinking. Perhaps I should do my small part for helping indie developers where I can.
Overall 9/10 Kingdom Rush was a surprise discovery while I was wondering the wastelands of browser games. Until very recently i’d never played any of the browser games and had mostly written them off as dull time-sinks. However via a
Overall 10/10 Battle for Wesnoth was one of the hidden gems I discovered once I stopped spending hours waiting for raids to start or grinding daily quests. This is the sort of game I first loved PCs for (well after International Karate, Ultima 4 and Bubble
Overall 7/10 When I finished my WoW thing I decided I was keen on some old school, turn based, strategy action. After looking around for a while (like about 10 minutes) I stumbled on Dominion 3: The Awakening. This game is about as old
Hi! So yeah, its been a year eh? Life has been busy and blogging has been a low priority. But not any more! It’s now a slightly above low priority. Ok, some of you might remember me, but most won’t. I used to

Just a short post to provide some numbers for those that think my previous numbers were too mana regen focused.
I have just taken my existing model and bumped the spell power to MP5 ratio from 0.6 to 1.5.
I finally got around to finalising secondary specs for both priest and shaman last night. For Turkelife (priest) I was initially excited about off-specing into Shadow for a bit of work on the dark side. I figured I could solo as Shadow rather than

I notice a few people searching for stuff like, "Which gems for elemental shaman?" and the like and arriving at this blog. So here it is.
First off when gemming your elemental shaman remember the hit cap.  If you are

This is just random rambles about playing. I do have a half formed post on tier set bonus in my head, but it's a work in progress (or perhaps a figment of my imagination).
Saturday night Turkelife joined the guild Naxx

Ok I have been producing a lot of important looking numbers over the last couple of weeks. From these I have produced a couple of gear lists, including throughput, but with a longevity focus. Contrast this with The Munch Lands more
Some are calling it a minor patch. It's not so minor for priests and Disc priests in particular.
Important bits:
Divine Hymn: Healing and healing scaling reduced by 30%. Buff on affected players changed from 15% to
v3.1
I've updated my theorycrafting posts slightly to include two changes.
Firstly as Zusterke pointed out over at WowInsider my assumption of 80% inside the 5 second rule was a little unlikely. I've bumped this up to 90%.
v3.1
*Queue the next line from some song from the 80's* KLF?
I actually mean Power Auras Classic. The addon, not the band.
I've been wanting to try this out for ages, but haven't really found a good use for it
v3.1
I finally got a chance to road test Holy over the weekend. A couple of guildies organised a quality (i.e. gear checked) Naxx 25 PUG. I was late on and the last healer to join. Wow! Five priests in the raid. This will be interesting.Â

Yes, yes I know Uldar has been out for a while. I'm a casual raider remember? Actually RL has been pretty busy of late and one weekend of raids were missed when I thought by graphics card had completely died. It only half died
v3.1
Previously when posting gear lists for Discipline and Holy I intentionally excluded trinkets from those lists. While writing those lists I didn't really have time to give trinkets the work they need and I wasn't happy with LootRanks
My guild, Dead or Alive, seems to be leaning towards the former currently. The guild leader is having one of his long breaks and he and his offsider have previously said they are looking at quiting WoW anyway. The raid leader is busy (I think) in
I haz one.
He's only level 18 ATM and running, running, running around the Barrens. I say he because its yet another male Tauren. I have one female bloodelf and now three male taurens. Strange.
Initially he was created
Ye Olde World more commonly known as Azeroth is quite a different playground than either of the subsequent expansions. As a late comer to Wow (I started towards the end of the Burning Crusade) I had this kind of vague assumption that the original game

I don't normally do link posts but there is some really good stuff around ATM (and my in-game time is patchy):

I'm only on trial, but i've found myself a new home. Questionable Content accepted my application and I am now back with a raiding guild. And so far so good.
Friday night I logged on to Turkelife, knowing this wasn't

This isn't a comprehensive guide or anything, but does include a lesson learned the slightly more expensive way. As I recently mentioned i've started a baby druid and I am aiming to level him as Balance. It's been a while since I

OK, ok, stop laughing! Yes I know, LOLwell, etc, etc. Something strange happened to me towards the end of last night's raid. A raider thanked me for dropping Lightwell so often!!!! Yes I know amazing! I use Lightwell!! :-)Â

Yes another post about Power Auras Classic. I recently got into this addon for my prot warrior alt for which it is awesome. A few people commented about using it on my main (priest). I looked at other priests set ups and I just
Just a quickie. I have made updates to the priest gear lists over the last few days.
Holy priest gear list for 3.1 - I have added a number of new items here. Mainly some PvP gear to the off-hands list and a number of items from Algalon,

So I was reading the news on wow.com about patch 3.2 and thinking the new Crusaders' Coliseum sounds interesting, although probably like a big Violet Hold, and has 5 , 10 and 25 man versions in both normal and heroic and stuff. There's

I've noticed a few people searching for stuff about tier 8 bonuses and ending up at my blog, so ever aiming to please I present you this. /emote does a drum roll
Discipline priests really got the good loving when

More on my current 'project', the proposed changes to gear tokens in 3.2. Previously, after first learning of the change I wrote my knee jerk reaction to them. My reaction was quite similar to a number of others if you read the comments
