I’m still having fun in WoW. In fact that’s probably a big reason why I haven’t been posting much, when I have free time I mostly want to be playing instead of writing. My shaman has gotten to 85 and done quite a few heroics and is actually pretty well geared now for healing with [...]

New WoW gets thumbs up… for now
Well it’s been quite a long while since my last post. It’s been hard to find time to write something since I’ve been busy at work on a bunch of stuff. And at night, if I’m not taking care of our son (who has been sick for quite a while, the poor bear) I’m busy [...]

New year, new(ish) start
Well that was an extended holiday. After spending a week at my in-laws place, I then managed to skip work and stay at home for the next two weeks due to Christmas and end of year holidays. So what was I doing? Yeah I’ve been bitten by the WoW bug again and resubscribed for Cataclysm, [...]

The lone cynic
There’s a ton of stuff I want to write about lately, but I find myself lacking the time to do it due to being busy either a) finishing up my PhD applications or b) procrastinating about finishing up my PhD applications by reading random stuff. Ok fine so maybe I just need to be better [...]

Nostalgia
So I haven’t really been keeping track of WoW for a long while, short of casually reading a couple of blogs here and there. Today I browsed over to Blessing of Kings which I kind of use as a link hub to a bunch of other blogs, and a glance at the plethora of new [...]

What’s your alignment
I love the latest edition of Dark Legacy Comics… I always thought of myself as Neutral Good in past RPGs. Or more like Lazy Good, in that I’m slightly predisposed towards being nice but most of the time can’t be bothered to do anything good or evil. However, I think as I got older and [...]

Tyrannis Noob Impressions
So the Tyrannis expansion has hit us after a very extended downtime. I wasn’t really expecting it to launch when it did so it was pure good fortune that I had a 4 day skill queued up. Need to keep a better eye on this in the future or I might lose out on some [...]

That’s a really slow hacker…
Interestingly, I received a couple of emails from Blizzard this morning in my inbox. The first notified me that my WoW password had been changed. This was followed very quickly by another email saying that my account had been suspended for 72 hours for “exploiting the economy”. I’m really curious how the hacker managed to [...]

What’s wrong with a Mammoth/Chopper?
Gevlon has a post up which touches on the expensive vanity Tundra Mammoth and Mekgineer’s Chopper. The whole thing came up by lots of people asking why he refuses to help people who want to learn how to make more gold in order to buy these vanity items. “What’s wrong with buying these items if [...]

What people want
Is most likely not what they need. This is one of those unpleasant truths that everyone is actually aware of, but time and time again it slips from their minds. Most people are remarkably bad at making decisions concerning their own well-being. Just look at how many people still lounge around smoking 10 cigarettes a [...]
