Motherfucking Meme

So because Darraxus has a hard time coming up with blog topics he decided to hit the blogging community with a meme instead of writing about yet another fail PuG.

His question: What do you do while you blog?

Ummm…

I blog while I blog?

Yo, we heard you like to blog so we put a blog in your blog so you could blog while you blog. Continue reading

Raids and Shit

Because someone was looking for it…

and found me.

Back in the office today so here’s a quick progress report:

25-man Raids:

ICC was attempted a week or so back, but is too much of a gear check with us not having enough power from the top end to muscle through it.

Trash was cleared and Marrowgar attempted.

We will return. Continue reading

Inside Out

Or Inside Azeroth

Flipping through my archives, it dawned on me that I don’t think I ever put out some link love to the guys and gal over at Inside Azeroth.

So without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the only podcast that I listen to weekly.

(Not that there aren’t more podcasts that I want to listen to, because there’s a dozen or so that I want to listen to, but it’s like the list of over 50 WoW blogs that I want to be reading… WTB more time in the day.)

Anyway… Continue reading

Welcome to the Dark Side

… or how Zarigar learned to heal!

That’s right, I’ve got me another guest post today.

My work schedule is going to be kind of freaky for the next couple weeks so some of the posts may be a little on the lean side until things calm down.

Today, however, is anything but lean as we delve deep into the mind of the troll that wouldn’t heal, or would he?

Arioch couldn’t get me to do it.

The rest of my guild couldn’t get me to do it. Continue reading

Can’t kill trash, too busy reading lore

We’ve been in ICC quite a few times by now. I think I’m 2k away from revered with the Ashen Verdict and my next pretty ring.

I know that when you start the trash pull at the very beginning there’s all sorts of talk that happens.

Tirion starts yelling crap, Arthas yells back, Fordragon pipes up, all sorts of communication going on but I never get a chance to see it because I’m too busy pwning trash.

So last time I was in there I just started spamming my print screen button in between casts to capture the conversation. Continue reading

Late post has (mostly) nothing to do with WoW

So I was in the office yesterday.

Eventually.

See, I’m on this project. It’s a BIG project and will revolutionize the way we do business. So they say.

Lots of people brought in for the project so lots more people than we have room for in our large 4-building complex (not counting the several other buildings we have in other locations).

So we rent space at a hotel that’s a few blocks downhill from the local site.

Like all projects of this magnitude, there have been some communication issues. Continue reading

Real Life Raid Boss

I’m about to be pwned by the real life raid boss – I’m in the office today.

Note that my boss is not the raid boss, it’s the actual feat of going into the office that’s going to wipe me.

I anticipate high repair bills.

Filler post today, most likely filler post tomorrow as I recover from being in the office and then leading a raid.

In case you non-rogues were wondering what the traps in ICC look like, here is a snippet courtesy of my rogue husband. Continue reading

WoW: Heroic vs Raid

Now we’ll get to the good stuff.

Heroics and raiding have a lot in common.

You have players of varying skill and commitment interested in participating.

Blizzard is doing their best to make more raid content available for more people (nerfing older content, increasing badge gear availability, upcoming zone buff for ICC, etc). There is some great story and fun fights in these raids, it’s only natural that the company wants more people to be able to experience them.

Let’s do a quick comparison. Continue reading
