Hilarious Spam

Maybe it’s just me, but ever since that ill-informed Dalaran post, I seem to have attracted a whole new level of spammers.
Rather than massive amounts of links or “clever” things like “Awesome blog! Check this link out!” with a link to an attack site, the spam actually is clever now. Or at least stupidly hilarious.
So, [...]

What If the Class Plays You?

It’s something I’ve observed recently, now that I finally have a fair amount of high(ish) level alts.
The way I play, when on different toons, changes vastly from one character to the next. This isn’t just basic stuff (like not casting fireballs when playing a rogue). it’s a complete and total attitude swap.
Almost like I’m a [...]

Guide to Mage Glyphs

*UPDATED FOR 3.1*
Glyphs are made by strange people who have the Inscription profession. They cannot agree on a name, which makes them hard to refer to. People who do alchemy are called alchemists; people who do inscriptions are called Inscribers, or Inscriptionists, or inkers, scribes or cabbage patch kids, depending upon who you ask.
You can [...]

Twisted Nether Blogcast Sing-a-long

Is it weird for me to listen to myself talk for lengthy periods of time? I mean, I suppose every time somebody talks, they have no choice but to listen to what they say. This is a recording, though. I guess it’s a little strange.
I am the blogger of the week at Twisted Nether! Odd [...]

Naughty Jokes For All!

I found a quest hub in Dragonblight, and was intensely excited to receive quests from somebody named Narf, and happily had my gear repaired by somebody named Troz.
I thought “Here’s hoping for some awesome quests!”, expecting the references to flow fast and furious.
Hilariously enough, the quests that followed were all thinly disguised naughty jokes.
The first [...]

Leveling with Frostfire Bolt

Ding! 75! Congrats, now you get a new main nuke, and unlike Arcane Blast, it doesn’t suck!
So then. What is frostfire?
Frostfire bolt is unique in that it isn’t unique.
Frostfire bolt counts as both a frost spell and a fire spell at the exact same time. This means that any talent that specifies “frost spell” and [...]

Rambling Wrath

Time for another edition of “Monday Musings”. Hopefully, by now, most of you have…
What?
It’s Tuesday?
Wednesday in some places? Like where?
Oh. Oh I see.
Welcome to the first edition Mostly Wednesday Reflections. Hopefully, by now, most of you have had the opportunity to play through a fair amount of the new quests, if you didn’t get into [...]

Operation Hammerdown: Comments and Crap

In case you missed it, I published a post a few days ago about how to get to Dalaran. The title actually contained those exact words.
In my infinite wisdom, I bet a few mages might find it useful to know where to go for the Dalaran attunement quest. So I tossed it up, on the [...]
