A very srs quandary or How I Made Myself Unhappy With Every Mount In The Game

I’ve been preoccupied for quite some time now by the issue of how best to mount my dorf.

Okay, that sounds bad.

But putting aside any sniggering you might want to do over the phraseology, I’m one of those sentimental fools like their mount to mean something. As a patriotic, self-loathing blood elf with no sense of . . . → Read More: A very srs quandary or How I Made Myself Unhappy With Every Mount In The Game

Learning, Carrying, and Badges

Temi’s History of Gearing is a bit unusual.

I originally rolled her as an Alliance alt who I could play on my own without worrying about running ahead of Tam. Having rather longer holidays than Tamarind by dint of being a teacher, I actually managed to get Temitope to 80 well before Tam and Chas even hit . . . → Read More: Learning, Carrying, and Badges

LF DPS RFC Link Achie Will Check Armoury

There have been loads and loads (and loads and loads and loads) of posts about the new LFG system, but most of them, from what I have seen, have focused on its use for running random Heroics for precious precious Badgers at level 80.

I thought I’d add my own thoughts to the pile with a few . . . → Read More: LF DPS RFC Link Achie Will Check Armoury

New Year’s Eve Altaholism: The Further Adventures of Alethe

Some of you may remember that I set myself up a bank alt by the name of Alethe who, by a series of totally logical decisions, wound up as an heirloom-sporting PvP-twinked Warsong Ninja with her own guild of assassins legitimate businesspeople.

I specced Subtlety for PvP although to be honest I’d probably have gone Sub all . . . → Read More: New Year’s Eve Altaholism: The Further Adventures of Alethe

the one with the blogging clipshow and the syphilis meme

Enough with the morals and the serious and the angst. Firstly, D over at LFM: Need Healer Plz kindly tagged me with the Year in Review WoW Meme. I don’t actually I think I’ve been playing WoW for much over a year (or maybe I have … maybe one loses track … maybe . . . → Read More: the one with the blogging clipshow and the syphilis meme

post spam

Apologies for twice in one day (woof) but I decided to cheer myself by indulging a little Snottydin. Everybody else has sent me so many awesome Snottydin posts that I haven’t actually updated her myself since the inaugural post. I know it’s the cheapest joke in the world but, hell’s bells, I find it . . . → Read More: post spam

i aten’t dead

Apologies for post delay. End of term, start of admissions, general tiredness conspire to make me a busy and grumpy person. I haven’t actually played all that much WoW, so I don’t have much to write about. I did a random TotC-10 PUG, which was something of a personal milestone still I’ve never . . . → Read More: i aten’t dead

lore! what is good for?

This is a bit embarrassing, especially since I swore myself black in the face I would never … but … uh … it seems that I’ve started working on *looks right and left sheepishly* Loremaster.

Don’t me wrong, I’m not dissing the achievement per se and I’ve certainly got nothing against people who have it, or . . . → Read More: lore! what is good for?

a pair of star-cross’d lovers

It’s easy to get stuck in routines at endgame, I think, which makes me more inclined to play around with holiday achievements than I ever was while I was levelling. But there are still some things I don’t do. PVP is one of them. It’s just not me. I’m a complete wuss. . . . → Read More: a pair of star-cross’d lovers

Dragons Rated For Your Convenience Part II

After yesterday, today is frivolity, frivolity, nothing but frivolity.

First off: Snottydin’s sterling work in convincing the Internet she is NOT A WORK OF PARODY (god help us all) continues; today’s horrors come courtesy of Slik.

But now to the subject at hand. In case you missed, or care, Part I is here.

And let’s just remind ourselves . . . → Read More: Dragons Rated For Your Convenience Part II
