Back to Raiding
With the return of the better half on hour celestial hunter team (Moon has not been able to do anything from being in dial up for almost a month) and the addition of DPS wizards Frotobaggings and smidgeon, we are shaping up a very solid 10 man group. Hon has been working hard on switching [...]
Break from Raiding
I think the next couple of weeks are going to be less full of WoW. Ever since the last patch it seems that I have been doing a lot less raiding and a lot more cleaning of my banks, selling stuff, etc. While most serious raiders will be moving to conquer Ulduar, I do not [...]
FWM – Numero Dos
Here is another edition of the Friday WoW Meme! 1) Word Association Vent :: Young :: Patch :: Poison :: 2) What has been your favorite feature on the 3.1 Patch? 3) What is still not working that you think should? 4) List the servers you have toons on (or the first 5 if you [...]
The Road to WoW
I was very late to the WoW party. TBC had already been out, and WotLK was already on its way. I had resisted Ultima Online, got only to the character creation part of EQ. Partly it was because of me playing RPGs before that got me to a point of frustration. I loved Diablo and [...]
When To Call It Quits
Our guild is close, really close to being able to 10 man Naxx. We have been missing one or two key players the last couple of weeks, but we are very close to having two new healers and a couple of other tanks join the ranks. Actually if anyone knows a Shammy in Azshara’s Alliance [...]

Raid Satisfaction
One of the tough things of running with a casual guild is that we are under no pressure to pwn. Everyone has their own speed and casual is kind of a catch all between people that enjoy going on raids but only once in a while, and people that are serious raiders burned by the [...]
The Friday WoW Meme
Why a meme? Well, Fridays are a day that is hard to find things to post about… sure you can say, I will do this and that this weekend, but meme’s are like the grinding of the blog world… you have to do it. So here is the first one! I hope you play. 1. [...]
Achievement Chasing
I’ve had achievement envy for a while. I never purchased an Xbox, partly because its made by MicroSux and partly because the consoles I already own don’t get played much. I have however admired the leader board aspect that was introduced with achievements on Xbox live. It was very surprising that right before WotLK achievements [...]
Tanking only what I like.
DTK has to bee my favorite heroic dungeon. I know how to do each boss, I know how to handle every single pull and even some neat little tricks. Like those scourge troll riders right before the big dinosaur, if you have a ret pally, repentance one and they lose their pet. VH is my [...]
Balancing WoW and RL
My wife was terrified when I first brought up playing WoW. I love video games, always have, always probably will. We have both been divorced in the past, and she has been very involved with divorce support groups both online and off. She has only heard of WoW in a very negative light and how [...]
