WoWjackass: Keeping Tabs on All that Treachery
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 9 Comments
This past week, for me at least, has been all about crazy, oh-no-they-didn’t moments in WoW, and hopefully educating our dear readers a bit about how not to get duped by would-be bad apples. I have one more tidbit to share before shifting my concentration ... More

Bad Tuning, Too Many Guilds, Or Too Many Bad Players?
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 - 14 Comments

Being A Well-Rounded Raider (And A Better Rogue)
Thursday, July 16th, 2009 - 17 Comments
Combat, Assassination, Sublety. Backstab, Mutilate, Sinister Strike. White, yellow, green damage. These are all important things to consider when you are trying to maximize your DPS, but they aren’t the only things. Not by a long shot. The stab-happy class (and all other classes) also ... More
