So my Good Twin Liore, because she enjoys tormenting me, said that she wanted to see what I came up with re: Gnomageddon‘s Sixth Screenshot meme, because I have this thing about screenshots, and that thing is that I take A LOT of them. The conversation in IRC when she mentioned this to me went like so: <Aro_> … oh god WHICH SIXTH? How…
Tonight is the first Tuesday in almost seven years that I have been at home and available and yet have no scheduled WoWery afoot. It feels weird. According to the account transaction history on wow.com, I have been paying for this game since December 2004, and you guys, that is a long-ass time. It’s such a long time that I healed in my first…
As a WarCraft II player, the fall of Deathwing is a story point that has been driving me for a dozen years. Betrayal of the best and brightest is a standard literary trope, and one that tends to resonate well with me; add in some incomprehensible cosmic horrors and it’s basically a hardwired switch straight to the centers of my DO WANT story-consuming brain….
It didn’t even occur to me until right this second that I probably should have written this post for Brewfest, but that’s because very little occurs to me around Brewfest time that isn’t NEDE MOAR RAM RACING. ANYWAY. There is a thing going on right now in my awesome guild full of awesome people where they troll me absolutely mercilessly about beer, and specifically…
Lots of people around the blogosphere have been talking about guildfoo lately, from guild management to structure to how to find the best guild for you; there must be something in the water lately. But here’s the thing: do you know what to do once you’ve found that perfect guild, built exactly the way you want, looking for exactly the things you need from…
The WoWophere is abuzz with release notes from Blizzcon, and reading commentary thereon has been super-interesting and completely overwhelming by turns (looking at you, insaneoactive twitter feed!), occasionally both at the same time. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and my perspective is colored by a couple of things: first, I’m a long-time player. I remember when we had to walk uphill in…
So 4.3 is on the PTR now, and public character copy is available. Here’s what I’ve found so far: Void Storage I know costs aren’t finalized, but right now Void Storage is prohibitively expensive. I knew that it would be a majorbig sum to unlock the void bank, which is fine (currently 1000g); the problem is that deposits and withdrawals ALSO cost money (right…
Let’s take a quick little look at the life cycle of Forsaken death knights. You are a dude(tte). Maybe you are a soldier, maybe you are just some schmuck. You are poisoned, and get incredibly sick, waste away, and die a horrible death. Your soul is stolen and you are raised as a zombie in mindless service to the Lich King. Sylvanas Windrunner, because…
I got a new helm tonight, which is on the one hand excellent. It was a great upgrade and I’d had the old hat for a really long time, and that is sad. Also, it was blue and did not match my awesome fiery robe. My helm HAD looked like this: Now, this is ridiculous. Not only do we have the delightful random sexism…
Once upon a time very long ago and far away, the devs gave us shadow priests a present, and that present was mind sear. Unfortunately, they also realized that we were having too much fun following the simple rule of IS THERE >1 MOB? CAST MIND SEAR and nerfed the shit out of it for far, far, too long. And then they fixed it…
