Consider this entry a brief public service announcement for those running the new Icecrown Citadel 5 mans, the Frozen Halls, using the dungeon finder tool. Inevitably there will be a wipe and you may have to make the flight-of-shame back to the instance and may not know where the instance portals are. So where are [...]

Critical

It’s been a week since I last posted an entry to my blog and for that I apologize. Real life decided to hit me with a critical blow that dazed me over the past week. Between work, getting massively sick and nearly cutting the tip of my pinky off, it’s been a rough week. Fear [...]

I’m going to break one of my “rules” and post a meme that I was tagged in (thanks Rilandune!). What is a meme anyways? And how do you pronounce it? Me-me? Meem? Anyways, here we go … What did you do in the World of Warcraft in 2009 that you’d never done before? Considering that [...]
Mutilate

Ever since Mutilate’s positional requirement was dropped I wanted to utilize mutilate as my rogue’s main spec. Between not having great daggers and just the ease of leveling as a combat rogue I kind of left the idea of being a true rogue behind and embraced the brigand’sh ways of punching/smashing/slashing things in the face. [...]

Remember prior to 3.3 going live and everyone was /facerolling the heroic 5 mans in their uber premade gear? Everyone thought that EVERYONE was going to instantly gear up and start roflstomping through the first four bosses in Icecrown Citadel. “Welfare epics” was a phrase tossed around pretty liberally and the elitists were on the [...]

How awesome are the new 5 mans in the Frozen Halls? I know right? Er, well … I haven’t seen them yet. What little time that I have had in WoW was spent setting up add-ons and running one PUG with the new dungeon finder tool. I’m determined to use pitbull again but ver.4 has [...]
Downloadable

There’s a growing trend that is starting to get me a little worried: downloadable content. DLC is both a boon and a bane in my eyes for video games. On one hand DLC can extend the life of a game beyond it’s initial scope usually for a modest price, but it can also alienate a [...]
Preparedness

Are you ready for patch 3.3? I’m not. Well, I am … but I don’t have my toons positioned where I’d like them to be for 3.3. I was hoping to have my priest up to 80 and to have better gear on my DK for tanking PUGs using the dungeon finder tool. It’s not [...]
Mourning

Reality checks can come in many forms and usually come out of nowhere. I was trudging along the saturday following Thanksgiving dealing with a cold that was making me feel terrible when I received an SMS TXT update from Facebook that stopped me in my tracks. One of my guildmates informed me of the passing [...]
