Ever since Onyxia realized she could regrow her head I’ve had issues with World of Warcraft. I have no idea if it’s patch 3.2.2 specifically, but that is when the problem became obvious. Patch 3.2.2a, which was supposed to fix bugs created with 3.2.2, did nothing for me. My more-than-capable computer continues to hit awful ... More

After another drunken night of slaughtering Coren Direbrew repeatedly for his phat lootz and Brewfest tokenz, I thought it was time for something a little different. Up in the higher reaches of Blackrock Mountain rests more fun to be had (and a bit of a confidence boost for us rogues) for anyone who hasn’t yet ... More

The closing of International Talk Like a Pirate Day ushered in another of WoW’s seasonal events, the much loved Brewfest. Ahh Brewfest.

Posted by Amatera on Friday, September 18th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Earth, Wind, And Fire is arguably one of the toughest achievements in the game, requiring that you kill all three Vault of Archavon bosses within 60 seconds of each other, but the 10-player version has was completed by both Premonition (first) and Mediocrity (second) this week.

It started out great. Hitting 80, jumping into dungeons, my first downing of the Black Knight and subsequent farming of ToC. Then came the daily heroics. I was slowly building up my collection of purples, and it showed as my DPS jumped from really crappy to only moderately crappy (still working on that part - ... More

I’ve never played World of Warcraft without being in a guild. When I first started playing way-back-when at the games launch, I joined a starter group with a few people from a forum I frequently post on. Since those rarely last long (and this one certainly wasn’t breaking the trend), I eventually hopped servers and ... More
Why Do We Have Cross Faction Nameplates?

After slightly redeeming myself in raiding last night - assuming you consider Vault of Archavon raiding - I was able to participate in my first Wintergrasp in a long time.
