I write too much.

October 31st, 2008 · 5 Comments

Didn’t realize how long that last post was until I went back to reread it.  So for you ADHD sufferers, here’s the fucking short version.
Stop telling me my raids would go better if I kicked people out and recruited replacements.  There’s never as many geared and skilled recruits as any guild would like.  Except huntards.  [...]

The shallow end of the recruiting pool.

This is all your fault.  If you were a competent raid/guild leader you would kick out all of the people who are not perfect raiders and replace them.
When I see these posts, I don’t get [...]

Thunderstorm is the new black.

Although I wasn’t able to get any good results at the Lumber Mill when I did some late night pvp last Wednesday, I did have a warm and fuzzy moment in EOTS.  Me and a holy pally rode up to the flag that was about to be picked up by four Alliance standing on it.

Pre Lich King Nerf-o-rama

October 20th, 2008 · 12 Comments

As anyone who has raided since patch 3.0.2 has hit can attest, raiding just got a whole lot easier. Bosses and trash mobs got a big nerf to their health and damage and several boss abilities were removed due to changes in player’s abilities. Now raiding is like putting a UFC champion up [...]

Warstomp!

The more I play WoW, the more little things piss me off.  You know how it is, you’re playing the game, completely calm, when some little thing happens, and you lose your shit.  Or is that just me?
One of these popped up last night.  We’re clearing trash to Supremus, and we start pulling the Fearbringers [...]

I know this blog is about MMOs and World of Warcraft in particular, but if there is one game this year that will suck up more of my available play time than any other it’s Fallout 3. If you haven’t played the first two, go pick up the Fallout Collection. They’re amazing. [...]

Failing at simple shit.

October 8th, 2008 · 9 Comments

As I’ve mentioned in a few recent posts, my guild is working on Illidan right now.  If you aren’t familiar with the fight, there is a an ability he uses in Phases 1, 3, and 5 called Parasitic Shadowfiend.  It not very dangerous.  In fact it’s one of the easiest boss abilities to deal with [...]

Stop stressing over loot.

October 7th, 2008 · 22 Comments

You can’t win World of Warcraft.  There is never a point where the other side admits defeat and you get a gold star.  The game is set up that way so you keep forking over your cash every month.  There are quite a lot of people that seem to be perfectly happy playing the game [...]
