You’ve got to enjoy the little things

It’s amazing how even a minor achievement can make you so happy you’re grinning from ear to ear. A win in 20-24 bracket Arathi Basin? Big deal. Except, it was a big deal. Since I started playing again, I’ve done many an AB on a number

A Northrend Story, in three pictures…

Plus a lot of text. Got ya!  I am the BEST tank. I believe that’s the first time I’ve completed all the dungeons in a set during the normal course of my levelling. Tanking, Northrend style, was a lot of fun. You feel almost invincible.

Endgame Blues

Now that I’m back at the current cap on my main character, I’ve found myself with a bit of a dilemma with regards to the endgame. On the one hand, I do enjoy the new (to me) Heroic experience of actually having to use crowd control, and I

Another Expansion, another Cap, another set of Heroics…

Whoops. Another week, another failure to blog anything. What’s been happening, then? Well, this… Obligatory Portal Screenshot. Thus making the Paladin my fifth character to “naturally” make it to Outlands, and the first for whom

Oh yeah, I have a blog, don’t I?

In my last post, on Wednesday, I lamented that my copy of Cataclysm hadn’t arrived yet. Well, it arrived on Thursday, and in my desire to experience all things Cataclysmic, any sort of posting on the matter fell by the wayside, so this’ll

Whilst you’ve all been enjoying Cataclysm…

I’ve been slogging through the snow (uphill, both ways!) to get into University for exams. Imagine my delight at finishing my exam today, and coming home, expecting to plunge right into Cataclysm… only to find that, due to said snow, it still

S’up, folks? Give a man a hand, will ya?

A tumbleweed rolls through the blog, as dead limbs of shrunken trees rattle in the wind. The windows of the old station appear cavernous in the deep twilight, dusty portals into an empty shell. Clearly, no one has been here in some time. But wait…

The Big Bad Beta Breakdown … For FFXIV

My feed may be all a-Twitter (/wrists) with debate, discussion and fury about the Cataclysm beta, but I’m not particularly interested in Cataclysm. Call me a luddite, but the massive overhaul of the talent system and the merging of a lot of stats

I think I’ve been here before…

Level 40… Yep, done that five times. Hit it in Dustwallow Marsh? Yep, five times… Talk about déjà vu. Of course, it’s my first Horde character to hit 40, so it is something a little bit different! The 30-40 stretch is,

Arathi Basin – a guide, in pictures

Done in a similar, tongue-in-cheek, check out my 1337 stickman skills as this post, though not quite as good, I’m afraid. Whilst I made it through the 20-29 AB on Eisla quite happily, the 30-39 bracket of PvP on the Blackout battlegroup appears

Alright now, don’t get excited…

I am not quite back. I am sort of quasi back. I was rather bored recently, and there was an offer of 7 free days due to having not played for months (and, apparently, the 5th Anniversary. I don’t know either), so I took it up. I may be done University

Yeah, I’ve pretty much quit

Given it’s been over a month since the last update, I’m pretty sure you figured that one out for yourself.
I just feel I should make it explicit – I no longer play WoW, and have no intention of picking the game back up in the near future.

Late to the ball – last minute soloing…

It was a relatively easy fight. I one shot it. I had a brief omgomg moment with whelps, but that’s what Earth Elemental Totem is for. The flight phase took absolutely ages, as I had to try and regen mana with Water Shield (I had a flame resist totem

University!

Fresher’s week at University this week. So far so good! Meeting new people was what I was most anxious about, but the vast majority of people are in the same situation, so it’s all good. Pretty much immediately formed a little group with some folks

Common Misconceptions about Scotland and the United Kingdom

It never ceases to bug me how little people know about Scotland. Of course, I totally understand that people can’t know everything about every country in the world, but admit it – you’d get a bit bothered if people constantly got your history so

So, I have these things…

Sometimes, some really, really silly stuff is said in BA chat. I occasionally capture them, to look back on and giggle at later. But hey, I have this blog, so… I think I’ll share them here!
