Fire PvP

BOOM here comes the BOOM ready or not, haha how you like me now?!
LK has, so far, been the best expansion in history for mages. Multiple specs viable for both PvE and PvP, and patch 3.3 is gifting us with a PvE viable frost spec (or close enough for most people), and a fire tree [...]

Defensive Play

Last week I was over at a friend’s house apartment, for parties and stuff I guess (WHO THE HELL BURNS POPCORN? COME ON!), and near the end of the evening ended up playing some WoWzors.
It being the AV holiday weekend, and my paladin still needing a few honor pieces, I queued up for that and [...]

Cooking and Grinds

The one part of this silly Pilgrim holiday I am participating in is the whole cooking thing. It was easy as pumpkin pie to level my paladin’s cooking skill from 1-350 or so with nearly no effort. I say “nearly” because damn it, travelling is difficult when you can’t port wherever the crap you want.
I’ll [...]

Forgle Wargle Blurgle

Pilgrim Euripedes?
No thanks. I did every world event loyally, got the titles, the pets, went hunting for specific class/race combos, and then not one goddamn bag of candies dropped in February. Then I realized I just didn’t really care at all. Bah, whatever, and so forth.
Get the midsummer’s title, Flamekeeper, on the very off-chance I [...]

Hey Look a Post or Something

Gated unlocking of bosses once again. Yeah, they’re treating the gamers like children, only handling out a few of the candies at one time so the chocolate box will last longer. It’s a bit patronizing[...]
A bit? A bit?! Here I must take the vehement route. Being treated like children is absolutely right, and it isn’t [...]

Gated Systems and Assorted Musings (WARNING: Bearwall)

Quite the bombshell.
ICC is going to be gated, and gated very heavily. As in, on release, we only have access to the first four bosses. This is all we get for weeks. “Several weeks”, to use the exact quote. Then we get to fight the next three, and after several more weeks, the next two, [...]

Playing Against the Game

The very first video game I ever owned was NHL ‘96 for the Super Nintendo.
The goalies, being controlled by the AI, auto-tracked the puck, and would do their damndest to stop goals. Problem is, by creating a custom character, you can create a character that can move faster than the goalies. Thus, you could simply [...]

Braaaiiinpowahhh

Ugh. Midterms.
I missed a bunch of school thanks to swine flu, and am still trying to play catch up. Caught up in 3/5 courses at the moment, though I still have a massive essay due this friday, and frankly it needs work. Lots of it.
Life is hard doodz!
This was brought to my attention today, and [...]

VoA PuGs and the True Nature of People

25-man VoA forming up. I was on my paladin at the time, so I figure what the hey. Ret DPS isn’t exactly difficult (read: easy as crap) and I could use the Relentless gear, it would save me some honor farming. So I join in, do literally all of the summons myself (thanks guys), though [...]

Whatever This Patch Is…

It had better be important.
I don’t think I’ve ever been flat out booted from the game and forced to download an emergency patch before. Seems like this must be something hugely important, what with booting me in the middle of a hard-fought WG, costing me the honor and tokens for winning. 20 minutes of hard [...]
