This post is being written by someone who has just finished an excessively-important paper about patent law, a subject about which I know little and am not expected to know much, and yet was supposed to improve, which I did because I'm just that
Stand in the fire. STAND IN THE FIRE! In the fire! Yes I said it and I know they say you shouldn't do it and you shouldn't but this time, this one time, stand in this fire for I have some words for you.The Jews
I kept thinking about how Cataclysm has only five levels. Was it a good thing? Bad? I was leaning towards bad as I kept finding problems and changes that needed to be made to compensate for only having the five levels.
Diablo 3 is coming out soon, and I preordered it. I should be excited, I loved Diablo 1, and 2. What I can tell about Diablo 3 is that it’s going to be an epic game by the folks of Blizzard. For some reason, I’m not as excited as I should
It was a typical weekend. I was tired, bored, and playing WoW. Specifically, running old raids. I went to Ahn'Qiraj, which due to a summoning error started in the usually-soloed AQ20. After that was BWL, but a bugged Rend event mixed with a lack
He was offering a free lap dance in trade channel. He was the leader of our Pug RBG team and he was recruiting for another healer. “Lap dance by an AUSSIE chick” he amended his trade advertisement. In vent I was like.
People who leave the group automatically pass, even if they have selected something else already. Dropping group during loot rolls overwrites everything else.
You know that great feeling you get when you've been struggling with a boss and finally get it down? That's how I felt after this quest.It's part of the rogue legendary quest chain and is definitely a rogue quest. You
Some people tell you what to do and you have to listen because they're the ones in charge. They have the law or guns or mind-control. These are the authoritarians.Some people convince you to do it by manipulation: bribes and blackmail
Why? And when?Obviously from a strategic standpoint you're going to need a raid group to get far in a contemporary raid instance. Just zoning in though, that also requires a 'raid'. There is this strange requirement
Terrifying!
Even though I stopped for awhile, I still had time for the occasional games. I was still playing World of Warcraft. Played Cataclysm when it was released, but eventually got bored of it and canceled my subscription. I do get the urge to play from time
Currently, LFR forms 25-man raids. This has benefits and costs. Let's look at those.Speed of raid formationWe know from random heroics that there is a relative shortage of tanks and healers. In a perfectly balanced system everyone would see approximately
As I read the post by Tobold, and the comments afterwords there of it got me thinking of evil, and my predisposition of it. Growing up I was always the bad guy, Skeletor to He-man, Cobra to GIJOE, and Decepticons to the Autobots. I loved being bad.
Turning into a dragon is definitely cool. Carrying friends to great heights and dropping them is cool too. Having friends is overrated.What isn't cool, but is definitely valuable, is being able to land. With the small,
The people have spoken, but I don’t really care I was going to give the award to Scarybooster of Scary Worlds this year. Rowanblaze was a solid second place though what pushed Scary over the edge is his devotion to gaming so much he would pay homage
Looking for some cute WoW items? Check out some of what I've come across lately. 1. Murloc shirt: Speaking of murlocs I'm a bit disappointed there haven't been any updates to the Save the Murlocs campaign. Do they not need saving anymore?
Oh my goodness, three days, three posts in a row! Gotta catch up from when I was gone. :) Anyways, a number of WoW related news stories. First, an article in the LA times on research around how playing video games, and specifically WoW, can improve cognitive
My rogue is a miner and a jewelcrafter, a pretty terrible jewelcrafter due to having been reactivated only recently. These are not how she gets rich. Her true profession is as a rogue. She's a maxed-out pickpocket, optimized with a spec for faster
I have a lot of sympathy with Effraeti, who waxes lyrical on why she isn’t a feminist. She reminds me a lot of myself a few years ago when I was straight out of college. I was getting on with things, working as an engineer, and maybe wincing
"Looting this item will bind it too you."WASTING TIME!You're a person on the go. You can't wait around for loot rolls. You kill the boss and drop the group. So why waste time clicking twice when you could just click once? That's
We all know the pattern too well, something drops and anyone who can roll need does. I got into a conversation with someone in the raid about this, through whispers (which is why I am not mentioning legions of trolls). They explained that they so often
Recently the temptation to play Star Wars ToR for 7 days came up, and I happily took it. A free trial period is exactly what I need from a publisher so I can determine if their box is worth the money, or if the game is worth the subscription (see the
I can't believe this guild doesn't exist.By my count on warcraftrealms.com, there are 92 guild names including the phrase "sapped girls" and another three of "sapped women can't say no". Just searching "sapped"
I have two taunts on fairly short cooldowns. I can throw a shield that generates enough aggro that whatever is not attacking me, will. I have an AoE with a pretty decent range. Add to that my usual attacks of crusader strike/hammer of the righteous
I bet you don't even realize you're cheating anymore. Maybe you don't do it because you've geared out of the need for it. But I bet you've done it before. You probably had someone explain it to you, this little trick of many
If you follow me on Twitter (or watch my mini-post feed on the right of the page) you might have seen me go on a small screenshot flurry. I started digging through some more, initially planning to delete some of the thousands (and those are just that
I log onto my shaman to test far sight. First thing I did was to go find the elevator to go learn flying. That caused me to discover Orgrimmar (something I've already done that the game says I haven't), and gain 8 xp, which made me hit level
I'm leaving in a month, so why should I care much?I don't care much, so I'm leaving at the end of the month.It's hard to get into a habit of virtual materialism when it's all going to be gone soon. What is an epic when you're
I'm not sure what is going on here.Why is an elf sitting at the entrance? Why is another one (out of the shot) wandering around in a suit?Why are there telescopes, all manned (mostly with gnomes) aimed at Desolace and Mulgore? (behind the camera)Why
