A brief word on Cataclysm

There seems to be a deluge of posts about the 10-man / 25-man raiding changes. I’m overwhelmingly in favour. I think there are enough irritating hierarchies in WoW (raider versus non-raider, hardcore raider versus different-cored raider, people who buy sparkly horses versus people who don’t), that I’m glad Blizzard is . . . → Read More: revenge is best served chargrilled

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

So you know those frozen wastes, right?

They are my BITCH!

Yeah, baby, yeah.

Well, that was entirely unexpected. But I R Srs Raider as of October last year. Wooteth! Perpetually Late to the Party strikes again.

Champion of the Frozen Wastes is nowhere near as awesome as Champion . . . → Read More: I R Srs Raider!!!

My resolution to be more assertive in pugs is not going well.

In fact, I’m wondering if I’m turning into one of those over-geared, arrogant wankers I hate so much. I screwed a group over at the week for being horrible to me.

The heroic was Gundrak, I don’t really need the badges but, hey, it was . . . → Read More: A matter of perspective

Come Pointlesswing, to the skies!

Meet Pointlesswing and Needlesstail, two loaned wind riders from the dodgy second hand mount dealer in K3.

Pointlesswing goes very well uphill if you get out and push.

The problem is … the problem is … they have names now.

and for my pains a world of sighs

In an effort to shed The Curse of Utgarde Keep, we tried to run AN last night instead.

Mistake.

There were various issues (related to the other players, of course, goes without saying) but our most ignominious wipe occurred when I got webbed.  The chain of events went something like this.

I noticed I was getting webbed.  Nobody seemed . . . → Read More: and for my pains a world of sighs
