The more you tighten your grip, the more will slip through your fingers

Yesterday Kestrel of Kestrel’s Aerie asked a bit of a thought provoking question. He asked “Is Wow losing it’s hold?“
To try and put it simply (a first for me I know) the game has changed. It is much more friendly to those with limited time to play. Not quite to the point that it has become [...]

Way beyond grumpy

Dear Blizzard,
The Instructor fight in Naxx has brought something to my attention.
I suck at tanking.
I have no idea what you were smoking when you designed the encounter . Hell some folks might even love it.
I don’t.
If I wanted to tank I would not have rolled a flippin PRIEST. Holy crap! that almost makes sense!
In the [...]

This is what happens when I start thinking

Ever start to feel like there is nothing much left you can do in game? I know the game is ginormous, there is always something to do. There is a shiny new raid, a new tourney with a pile of new dailys, all kinds of stuff. Still it feels like there is not much going on.
I [...]

Lessons learned

Once upon A time I was looking at the character creation screen for the first time. We have all been there. Some of us still have that character, some don’t. Either way many of us have other characters we play at least as much, if not more.
I started as Horde, although I play Alliance now. I [...]

Pardon my dust

Just a quick note to those who stop by, the blog will be undergoing a bit of a face-lift. It will be off and on today and on into the weekend.
It’ll get better, honest.

My paradigm shifted without a clutch

I changed my mind.
It happens.
Sometimes the circumstances change, sometimes it’s my attitude that does. This time I think it was a little of both.
 I have run both a priest and a couple of hunters up to the level cap and raided with both of them. I always preferred Dpsing to healing, although I do enjoy [...]

Patch 3.1 blows up the servers, film at 11

Actually at the rate we are going we will be lucky to have the realms up by 11.
I understand 3.1 is a huge patch, and with that comes a lot of stress on the hardware.
 
 
Everyone and their cousin Ted have been drooling over one thing or another. Weather it is a new raid, the Argent [...]

A lame excuse for a post.

I just wanted to drop in and tell the few folks who still wander by this campfire that I have not given up. Your storyteller has not gone anywhere, I will be continuing to write.
I have had real life issues crop  up that have kept me from both having the time and energy to play Wow, much [...]

Waiting

Waiting.
It seems like all I ever do anymore.
Some folks are waiting for new content, challenges they have not yet seen. Me? not so much. I rarely get to raid so actually I am still 3 bosses short of seeing Naxx completed. Other than that its Sarth pugs with no drakes up and VoA after wintergrasp (assuming we [...]

The sound of silence

It’s quiet here.
Too quiet…
 
If you have been watching movies as long as I have you have most certainly seen that line beaten to death.
 
The problem is that it’s true.
 
Last Tuesday, as though anyone reading this does not already know,  BRK announced his retirement from blogging and re-dedication to family. I read both his post and those [...]
