Alas, Dear Hunter, for Thee Suckethe Mightily

There’s a lot of hate going around this weekend, so I figured I’d join in. Who doesn’t want to start off their work week by shaking their heads and saying “boy oh boy, knowing I’m better than someone else makes me feel so good!”
This is a story that actually happened quite a while ago, mostly [...]

Crutch Versus Enhancement

Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with shamans.

In Defense of the Argent Tournament

I realize this is all probably going to waste, but the entire Argent Tournament is actually extremely logical in it’s execution.
Imagine you are Tirion Fordring. You’ve drummed up a mighty army of soldiers, are equipped with the best equipment your limited coffers can buy, and have thousands of willing volunteers from both the Horde and [...]

Why I WoW

This was (is?) a Blog Azeroth style thingy (I think? Seems like there were a bunch of posts about it), and as usual, I’m weighing in on it absurdly fashionably late.
