My Priests Christmas list of purple pixels

Last night I did something on my priest I rarely get to do.
I healed.
I healed not for a random group of keyboard turning, face rolling, fire standing idiots, but for a group of guildies that were having fun. Wether we wiped or not (preferably not) the whole group stayed upbeat and cheerful, even joking around as [...]

Wow what a sale

Dear readers,
I just noticed a little something interesting.
Starting today (11/27/09) and going thru Sunday (11/29) the original World of Warcraft game will be on sale thru the Blizzard store as a digital download for a mere five dollars. Apparently hard copies will be similarly priced this weekend at retail stores also.
My roving reporter/price checker lovely wife [...]

Well, at least its not a gear list.

Showing a surprising lack of judgment I was invited to go hang out with the wonderful folks that make up the Sidhe Devils Gone Wild podcast. I would say they had never heard me talking before, but there is always Vent. They should have known better…
Anyhow, It was a blast. If you haven’t heard it yet you [...]

The great Retcon

When I first got the game and began leveling up I remember distinctly being told that the game began at 60. Raiding was where it was at, everything else was merely hurdles to overcome to get there.
Obstacles placed in the way by the games designers so that only the worthy would persevere through it all.
Raiding [...]

Looks like it will be close.

A long time ago, back when dinasaurs still roamed the streets of Orgrimmar I wrote something down. Predictions for the future of Wow.
Ok, so it was not that long ago. It was August 24th, just under three months ago, but there were devilsaurs in Org so it counts.
Anyhoo, I wrote this as Blizzcon was dropping [...]

Why did I not see this before?

 A thought came to mind last night as a group of guildies and I were finishing up heroic ToC. We had two DK’s with us and were remarking on how much easier The Black Knight phase two was with two armies plus our two ghouls fighting the adds.
We even wondered at the possibility of speccing five DK’s into tanking builds that [...]

Today is the day

A last heads up for my wonderful readers. The Raid for the Cure event is now just hours away.
We will be starting at 2pm server time (which happens to be US Central time), and walking for a bit over an hour.
Come, join in the fun! After all, you wouldn’t want Dekado to get all dressed up [...]

Chores

This morning I was doing some thinking…
You can stop laughing any time, honest.
As I was saying, I was doing a bit of thinking today about this wonderful game we all play.
Be advised, this post is largely the ramblings of a tired and somewhat cranky individual. Feel free to mark as read and move along.
I, along with [...]

Thanks

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the guns fell silent across europe. The Great War, or World War One as we were to later call it, had come to a close.
It was decided to mark that date as a reminder of the sacrifices of those who served their country. Today [...]

Wake up and smell the future

Hi folks,
Just figured I would take a quick break from NaNoWriMo to throw in my two cents worth on the pet store.
Yep, the same damn thing everyone else is talking about.
I see people screaming about how selling an in game pet for real dollars is game breaking.
I see people complaining about various other account services [...]
