Not quitting. Moving. Closing this shop, opening a new one. I thought long and hard to come up with a meaningful metaphor. Imagine you run a baking shop. Imagine it is a good baking shop, by your standards anyway. You aren’t making millions, you
To all the friends, allies and comrades I’ve had over the years. You guys rock. We’ve had some fun times together. We’ve had some fun times apart. Sometimes we disagreed. Sometimes we laughed at noobs. Sometimes we fought tooth and nail

See, here’s the thing. Sylvanus is a rather clever woman, overall. So I ask you this: how did she miss something as huge as the betrayal of a huge number of apothecaries that, ostensibly, worked for her directly? How did she miss an entire plot
Yeah, uh. This was supposed be a 3 parter, but part two ended up getting trimmed too small to warrant an entire post. So part three and two were combined, though there is a scene change partway through this one. ————======————
You may remember my previously published Arkenheart story. It pains me to link to my earlier, significantly shittier work, but there it is. Writing fiction is, itself, rather easy. The problem is, I am the writer. I created this content. It is an intrinsic
Again with the post title snagged from whatever was playing in winamp. ON BIRTHDAY WISHES Happy (belated) Birthday Krizzlybear! I recently realized that last time I raided frost, my DPS was somewhat lower than I expected because I fucking fail at frost
I failed to come up with a clever or relevant post title so I just slapped whatever song was currently playing on winamp in there. Now you know. There aren’t a lot of cataclysm changes out yet, so there isn’t much to discuss there. We have
I am now moved into my new and shiny place. Perhaps a tad on the small side, but really, the only places I ever use in a home is my bedroom, the washroom, the kitchen and a table somewhere for the computer. I could probably live in a single room quite
Exams are done, for better or worse. I hallucinated spiders on my keyboard. A day and a half to recuperate, and then Friday is moving day. And then no internet until May 5th! Oh noes! Such tumultuous change. I’ve been awake for all of twenty minutes
Technically speaking, all blogs are a form of social networking. I type stuff, you read the stuff I type, sometimes you type me back and I read that too, which prompts me to type more stuff, and so forth. It is a delayed conversation, akin to a forum.
Yes, this series is probably going to continue for some time. I have to talk about every class, and anything else I think of along the way.
So, druids.
I have not played a druid, nor have I played with one extensively in PvP, so my insights
Ret paladins are not overpowered, and have been underpowered for quite some time. They can put out absolutely huge burst damage against unprotected targets with lower than average resilience, and they have very powerful team based defensive buttons. That’s
So the power went out Tuesday night. KABLOOEY and right in the middle of playing Dragon Age, too. But who will save Ferelden naow?!??!/1
There was a pretty huge snowstorm here on Tuesday. The wt, clumpy kind of snow, the kind perfectly suited to
Damplify Magic is gone, and Frost and Fire Ward are biting the dust, that we know “for sure”. What other magey things are getting the expansion banhammer?
Maybe teleports/portals are being simplified so that we have one button to port/teleport
The real question is, of course, why are the shamans crying so much?
But I’ll get to that.
For now, some ruminations.
Everyone is getting three new excellent buttons to push. But look at them from a categorical point of view. Us
More coherent thoughts on monday when I’ve been able to think and marinate in the glorious, glorious changes.

Cataclysm announcements are coming hard and fast, which is bloody fantastic. The beta has got to be dropping forthwith, just in time for me to ignore it completely. (Final exams, if you were wondering. Which you probably weren’t, but hey, I told
I hate so very many things.
Illogical hatred, the kind of hatred that simply consumes your entire mind in an instant inferno of indescribable rage. A rage that, if it was in a game and possessed a tooltip, would say “ATYAGI*)(&!B %GBH!@HB
The start of any expansion is a rough time for PvP. I only have two expansion packs to draw on here, but they both followed the same pattern.
TBC didn’t have any starter PvP gear. Nothing. If you didn’t still have your old Warlord gear
I suppose I should start with the obvious: Death Knights.
Death Knights… well, they didn’t actually do so great this expansion. They completely dominated in season 5, due to being broken, and then various fixes and nerfs brought them
There’s been a rather interesting issue I’ve had to fight with since… oh, since the Blood Wing went live in ICC.
See, this is what happens. Sometime between 6pm and 8pm, my latency will climb from where it usually sits (anywhere
Inspiration comes from two places, I Sheep Things… and Righteous Orbs.
A guild is many things. A tag over your head you can be proud of. A collection of excellent players you love to play the game with. A guild bank a bunch of hardcore raiders
Ridiculously quick post from me today.
So there’s this bug where, if you dual spec whilst leveling, the spells/abilities/etc on your offspec’s bars don’t exactly update properly when you level.
I can’t even begin to
The actual dps increases are something more like adding Pyroblast to Torment the Weak and Empowered Fire. That may have missed the most recent patch notes.
Buh.
Yes, ghostcrawler, a change this huge did miss the patch notes, just a little
So there exists an addon called “Underachiever”. What this addon does is allow you to link fake achievements.
Let’s say I want to do Digimon, the latest boss in Archavon’s vault. I whisper a raid leader, and he says “whisper
There is, in fact, nothing about Batman in this post or patch 3.3.3. Que Disappoint!
Currently I am blasting Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood as loud as these here computer speakers can go. Why do I do this? Because I’m excited, that’s
This is a story. I wrote it. It is WoW fiction, read at your own risk.
I’m sure I have mentioned this before, but like many bloggers I have certain aspirations to, perhaps, write things in a more professional manner at some stage in my nebulous
The background for this post can be read here and here.
WoW is an escape for many people, myself included. I daresay the majority of WoW players are using WoW as an “escape” from “real” life. Quite a few of them probably
This is largely going to be in response to “The Third Dimension” over at Blessing of Kings.
Consider a puzzle with chopsticks for a second here.
You are given three chopsticks. Make a triangle, one chopstick for each side. Trivial,
