Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 - 16 Comments
There’s a few well-known lucky rollers in my guild, and let’s just say I’m not one of them. Sure, I get my fair share of loot, but oftentimes it’s by default (that is, no one else wants said loot). When it comes to my guild’s ... More

Thursday, December 10th, 2009 - 10 Comments
No matter how many bugs Blizzard attempts to squash during the testing period (and it’s a lengthy list, already), some are going to slip through. There’s just nothing you can do about it with a game of this size and complexity. As a result, expect ... More

Dungeons and Raids: Keep All That Strategy Straight
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 - 6 Comments
The first few times I ran Vault of Archavon, I was lost. It was my first real foray into 10-man content, and I was trying to keep Archavon, Emalon and Koralon straight. Which one overcharged adds? Which cast a nasty fire that you had to ... More

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 - 8 Comments
Five years — a fifth of my own life — I’ve been playing World of Warcraft. Though many MMOs have been around longer, none have been able to sustain their steam (and, in fact, increase in popularity) for more than a couple years, let alone ... More

Memories of Onyxia: Back Into The Lair
Thursday, September 24th, 2009 - 30 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

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 - 9 Comments
With rumors swirling about the incoming Patch 3.2.2’s release date, last night I took some time away from Brewfest festivities to squeeze in a final encounter with Onyxia, in her classic form. I was hoping this would serve as inspiration of sorts for others to ... More

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 - 10 Comments
OMG Patch Today! The new content patch hits the live servers today. Players can download the patch by running the World of Warcraft launcher. The patch for OSX clocks in at 40.5MB, and the Windows counterpart is likely comparable. Patch 3.2.2 is a mixed bag for me. ... More
