So last month we were getting ready to switch hosting services for my angry little blog when our previous hosting company decided to take my blog down four days early.  Oh and just for an added kick in the nuts they deleted it.
Luckily I was able to save most of my posts from Google cache, [...]

Most of the time when my raid screws up I do the usual. Yell, scream, insult, threaten their families, etc. But sometimes I find it necessary to stop things, get everyones attention, and explain things as slowly and as simply as possible.

Over the last couple of weeks my guild has been having some problems. We’re stuck in progression right now and it isn’t going to fix itself any time soon. When this happens I know that the best thing to do is just be patient. Eventually new recruits will join, raiders will get better gear [...]

I’m conflicted when it comes to PvP in World of Warcraft. While I think it can be one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game, I’m firmly convinced that the team that makes all the PvP decisions if composed of people that used to ride the short bus to school. I’m not going to [...]

I was trying to come up with a topic for today’s post when a little drama popped up on my guild forums which inspired me. Everyone makes mistakes when they’re raiding, some are little, some are big, some are annoying, and some are so funny that the Gatorade you were drinking when it happened [...]
