I could totally be a GM

Watch how skillfully I handle the "outdated addons causing UI errors" plight of my guildy:Of course, I have no idea whether or not it worked, or if that even had anything to do with her issue. And really, isn't that the point? Yeah, I'm totally GM-material.

Managing Your Minions - the Imp

Okay, so not really. Ding 80, yes - tank heroic Naxxrammas? Yah, not so much. But hey! It looks good in print, huh? And I'm going to get serious about working on her gear. Not only did D make me an awesome back, but he also funded all the mats for

Great starter, sucky finisher

I have a hard time finishing things. At any given time I have 3 or 4 half-written and abandoned blog posts. I've been carrying at least 3 boxes full of books around with me over the last several years; seems that even though I've moved 4 times since

In which my faith in humanity is restored

DEMONS AND DOTS; or, What Does This Button Do?

Your brand-new baby Warlock... Wow. Exciting, isn't it? It's also a little confusing, especially if you've never played a caster or pet-class before. The Warlock class combines the best of those worlds. Since World of Warcraft's release, Warlocks

Where is Prin?

I know you're probably wondering. After all, this blog was originally ALL about Principessa and her sisters in Shadow. I am saddened to say that Prin, like many of her Blood Elf relations, has fallen to the siren song of addiction. Just last week I
