You Know You’re Playing Too Much WoW When…
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 - 8 Comments
Once the holidays wrapped up I found an incredible amount of time to dedicate to gaming. Not only were family obligations wrapped up, but Ms. iTZKooPA has been incredibly busy searching for a job, everywhere. She’s basically been out of the house since the new ... More
Achievementology: Skyshattered (Now with 3.3 Nerf)
Friday, January 15th, 2010 - 17 Comments
I got the unfortunate notion last week that I wanted more flying mounts. Specifically, those glowy, bright Netherwing dragons that look awesome as they streak through the sky, leaving a luminescent haze in their path. So for the past 4-5 days, I’ve been questing in ... More
How Should Vote to Kick Work?
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 - 17 Comments
Vote to Kick is one of those tricky subjects with no clear cut “correct” way to solve. Currently, players using the Dungeon Finder tool need a unanimous vote (save the person being voted on) to remove someone from the party. Votes can be initiated by ... More
The Pros and Cons of the New Weekly Raid
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 - 12 Comments
I’ve only had the chance to complete three weekly raids since the release of Patch 3.3 (with the fourth one awaiting me when I find the time this week), and I already can say that I’m a big fan. As opposed to the daily heroic ... More
ICC Dungeons and Raids: Crowd Control Makes a Comeback
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 - 14 Comments
I’ve only gotten into dungeons and raids since the release of WotLK, in the age of brute-force smashing your way through groups of elites, without much planning or group coordination beyond who tanks and who heals. Alright, maybe it’s not exactly that cut and dry, ... More
Patch 3.3: The New LFG System for Lowbies
Thursday, December 17th, 2009 - 17 Comments
It’s been more than a week now since the release of Patch 3.3, and I’ll admit something: I’ve been so busy grinding heroics for badges on my main (finished off my PvP set, woot) that I didn’t even think of the wonderful potential that the ... More
Patch 3.3: Varimathras, Putress & Abominations Gone (Even For Lowbies)
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 - 7 Comments
Anyone who’s completed Wrathgate knows exactly why Varimathras, Sylvanas’ second-in-command, and Grand Apothecary Putress have disappeared from Undercity. After such a betrayal it’s expected that the rest of the Horde would become a little weary of The Forsaken, thus replacing the abomination guards with orc ... More

There were significant changes regarding factions in patch 3.3. There was the addition of the Ashen Verdict, an alliance between the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Argent Crusade. Players gain reputation mainly by killing bosses and trash in the Icecrown Citadel raid. The ... More
What Makes A Good Patch?
Friday, December 11th, 2009 - 15 Comments
This week saw the not-so-surprising launch of the Fall of the Lich King. Coinciding with its release was the not-so-surprising downtime of my main’s archaic server, Magtheridon-US. The one upside to the lengthy instability was that I managed to tackle most of my patch day ... More
