Tentacles vanquished, again

Its been an interesting week. We went from this to to (have to love NPCs who whisper abuse) to I’m the sleeping white puppy at the front cuddled up with the spring rabbit (dinner). All in all, its a completely awesome fight, especially when all the pieces fall into place and people stop taking it [...]

I’m holding out for a hero

Or my random reflections on the patch. I’m really enjoying Ulduar, for the first time we have challenging content this expansion. However I can’t help thinking its a bit too easy. We are now 5 bosses down in two nights, techinically one because all we did the first night was get stuck in random places. [...]

The countdown continues

With less than a week to go to E Day, my excitement is starting to get the better of me.  Why you may ask? Penguin mini pets The culling of Stratholme instance: Strat has always been one of my favourite instances, I love the colours, the burning buildings, the sadness of the zone. All the [...]

Come writers and criticsWho prophesize with your penAnd keep your eyes wideThe chance won’t come againAnd don’t speak too soonFor the wheel’s still in spinAnd there’s no tellin’ whoThat it’s [...]

Dispatches from the Frozen Wastes

The cold snows of Northrend are much more my thing than the Outlands were. In fact ive been pretty much blown away by the scenary so far. Because im that kind of person, even before i got my beta key i had been working on a plan for launch and so naturally as soon as [...]

Another day, another beta patch

I havent really been able to test much yet, but here are my highlights of todays patch. Nature’s Grasp is now a trainable spell and all ranks have been changed to 100% chance on getting struck. This coupled with the fact that roots are useable indoors is lovely. Its always been at least one point [...]
