TyphoonAndrew’s – Eye of the Storm blog posts
What started as Gnomer’s quest for ink, will be rail-roaded by me into a slightly bent set of screenshots; and I welcome and and all screenshots.
S&M in SM, with staples and maces. I’m smiling menacingly just thinking about it. C’mon
Suggestions for how to play an Alt toon when you have limited time.
In a blinding flash of the obvious, apparenty most folks raid from 8 to 11 pm each day. I blog this for the reason that in Australia with such a wide range of players in our guild we don’t get rolling till 8:30 to 9pm AEDT, and often have to end
uick post to say go check out the web based dps app called Team Robot WoW Simulator. Easy to use, and quick to config, and if you dig through the rotation and buff settings it might show you how it considers an optimised setup to be configured.
Its
So a Conquest badge can be downgraded to others, but that means they have a 1 to 1 value on the lower ilevel gear, so why would you? Getting a small upgrade from a 213 item that costs tokens that can buy 226 is rough. And sooner or later the patch 3.3
A while back I’ve had a good few days doing Heroics. Was fun, and I saw some strange stuff in CoS heroic.
a) A great pick-up line if I’ve ever seen one: “My bed is looking pretty good right now.” That NPC is one very cool
Recently arrived and learning whats changed since four years ago. Melbourne has progressed in many ways. New roads, strange places that used to be dead alleys now have great bars, and overall its easy to like this city.
However the property and
The “back-up laptop” is not all I’d hoped or remember. True it is a significant step down from the old MacBook Pro that my old work gave me, sheesh its slow. Was the Internet ever this slow? Celeron 1.4 gighz, 256mb ram, Windows XP.
All the damn expasnion news is distracting, and especially irritating as I can’t play at the moment. I can say that “I told you so” about all these guild changes. I knew it was a tad obvious, and if wow is going to stay ahead of the
Well its been a screamingly busy work + WoW + life week just gone, and as it should be as I’ll be offline for at least a few weeks due to the move. I made my last week a mad-house of H zerg runs, and tried to always say yes to everything. It paid
In a week or so I’ll be leaving my home of four years, to return to Melbourne. Its a strange time, and I find myself often contemplating the past four years. When we moved here from Melbourne I was very skeptical that any other city would be able
I’m a drooling maniac when it comes to WoW, particularly doing dps. I like it. Love it. Wants it. Tanking is awesome too, but not dps by half.
No way in hell I’ll play WoW (or any game) when I’ve a perfect partner at home wanting
A few nights ago I led my first 25m Ulduar, and it was certainly a challenge. Raid leaders have always had my respect, and as a participant I tend to follow the instructions from the leaders even if they make little sense. You never know when somebody
We new it was coming, and even though I kind of figured that it would bring lots of new stuff, I’m stoked. Bring on the real hi-res cinematic, confirmation of details, and all some such news.
This news will also bring a death knell for the
Here is a bump for an Australian Warcraft podcast – called Aussie WoWCast. They’ve just done a test cast as Episode 0 – at 7 minutes there is no reason not to listen.
Sound quality is cool, recording was fine, and plenty of content
One of the regular feeds I read is not on Warcraft, it’s about business – and today Peter Bregman on Harvard Business’s Blog wrote a short great piece on Preparing for the next Downturn. It’s personable, reflective, succinct, and
I found out a night or so ago that my current Guild has died. A lack of progression, and I suspect some frustration with numbers (which in turn creates a lack of progression) in attendance. Trying to raid 3-4 times a week in a small guild which was tolerant
An non-sensical as it sounds I really like chilled music, or classical when playing fast games. It should be more heavy, perhaps faster, and certainly more like the YouTube “how to solo scholo” vids I guess. But that isn’t me. Could
We can now grab an official Armory iPhone app (wow.com article). Let me be one of the many that runs around in circles squeeling like a school girl about this, starting now – brb. *yay, squeel*
By all accounts it looks nice. That reminds me…*yay,
I’d love to put some “uber-hardcore-1337″ gamers into an exam and give them an essay topic:
Players that are not hardcore still add value to Warcraft. Discuss.
Most would not even get into the room, and those that did might
The days where I can watch a conversation between Ipwnutoo, Leetlock, and loldruid are nearly over. Well I’ll still be watching them, but is makes my skin scrawl that players think these names are ok. C’mon seriously wow players, there has
Its a shame, but after a Ulduar run with some mates, I’d rather be puging. It will most likely be the last run I do with them, at least without saying I want an equal roll on loot.
As back story: I’ve known some of these guys for quite
A good interview on Death Knights on The Elitists podcast, #18. Hearing a DK player / blogger Runeforge Gossip talk about the class was good. Death Knights can benefit from some good advocates within the community, so DKs are not miss-classified and
How do you evaluate a Tank’s performance in raids? How do you know what abilities are generating threat for you by fight, or if you should prioritise one type of hit/strike more than another? I know I could read and take the words of the forums
Over a quiet sandwich and cake today for lunch I pondered why Death Knights have three talent trees that each can tank and dps. In isolation I love the concept; it give a variety of choice and flavour to the the class. The choice of Blood, Unholy, Frost
Just in via Wow.com in the PTR – our Alts might be flying at 68 in Northrend. Awesome-sauce.
Guess what! Zarhym responded just a short time ago to a thread on the official forums clarifying the change. It looks like this could very well be
Unhinged are no rag tag bunch of raiders, no sir. We killed General Vezax for the first time last night, and there was much rejoicing and a few screen shots. Now we kill Yogg!
My god – what a tough fight:
The healing looks
Faction change was announced a few days ago, and its been a heated and typically whine filled debate.
Good god wow community, quit your bitching. Folks seem determined to crap on any idea, change, or shift in the game. I like reading the constructive
There seems to be a general pause or slow down in players at the moment. I’d say its a summer thing, but I also think it has to do with folks wanting to get further through content; combined with new content being announced. It may also have to
WoW Head guys have built a Profiler that does everything an Armoury tool should, and includes a 3d model of your character. Its worth a look as it gives you a great summary of the character.
Its a damn fine tool. By way of (selfish) exmple here
