Memories of Onyxia: Back Into The Lair
Thursday, September 24th, 2009 - 27 Comments
The first thing we did upon entering Onyxia’s Lair for the first time in several years was wipe. Foolishly, after pulling the first trash mob, the tank managed to grab the attention of a second. Having walked down the slope, and farther into the cave, ... More
Where Did All My Gold Go?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009 - 12 Comments
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 ... More
Pre-Cataclysm: Exploring the Old World
Friday, September 11th, 2009 - 17 Comments
I’ve had a ton to keep my busy in WoW since dinging level 80 a couple of weeks ago. There’s rep to grind, daily heroics to run and farming of the ToC to be had (building up my purple collection FTW). But on the side ... More
Level 80! … Now What to Do First?
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 - 35 Comments
It was a completely magical, fulfilling moment. It was months in the making (actually, considerably longer than I had anticipated, and I did end up losing that bet I posted about a while back, but refuse to pull out my hair!), which made it all ... More
A Friendly Bet, Backfired?
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 - 23 Comments
“If you reach 80 before I do, I will pull out my hair.” Not the smartest thing to say to your competitive friends. Especially not with witnesses online. But it started off innocently enough. A couple weeks ago, I was enjoying a nice evening of playing WoW ... More
The Final Push To 80

Well it has come down to this, the final level. I am fairly certain that I am going to be the last player at ProjectLore to hit level 80, but in all fairness, they play the game for a job. I write about ... More
Still Lots Of Work To Be Done

So I felt like I was in a pretty good groove; I hit level 80 in stride, more than one achievement for finishing off zone quests, and my trade skills were leveling up nicely. I really felt I was closing in on the end-game and ... More
Gaming Over The Holidays Can Be A Fruitless Endeavor
Monday, December 1st, 2008 - 24 Comments
I don’t know about you guys, but I have enough turkey left in the fridge to make open-face turkey sammies for a week. Coincidentally, that is the perfect meal to eat while you are slaving away at those XP bubbles or taking down your next ... More
How Much Wrath is Too Much Wrath?
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 - 42 Comments
I’ve been trying to keep a healthy perspective on this thing. Sure, I called in sick on Friday, and sure I logged more hours this weekend than I probably did the past 3 weeks combined, but I’m having fun and fully expected to invest a ... More
Who Are You Getting To Level 80?
Friday, October 3rd, 2008 - 69 Comments
My fellow blogger Bastosa recently posted a nice article on the grind to level 80. It will be interesting to see how well the 5-man instancing team sticks together. From my previous experiences, running with a group of friends over and over caused ... More
