As I mentioned in my last WoW-centric post, I started up a raid team with the K&G community guild, Happy Fun Guyz. We had our first real raid weekend between Friday and Saturday and hit two of the three main raids. Between those two and my time in Baradin Hold today, I have a total …

Rift Watchers Podcast Interviews Trion Lore Leads
Hey Guys, Just a head’s up to point you over to Rift Watchers latest release. This past Wednesday, Gavin was able to sit down with Nick McDowell and Morgan Lockhart. I wasn’t there, unfortunately, but it made listening to it an even better experience. Gavin took a new approach to the interview compared to most …
Quickest Burn Yet?
That WoW-kinda feeling is setting in again. It’s that nagging “ugh, there’s something better I could be doing — I don’t know what it is, but it’s there, even if it’s just staring off and thinking of something else I could be doing” kinda feeling. Know what I mean? Where logging in becomes something you …
SOE Floundering – Painful Observations From the Outside
I’ve been sitting on this post for a week because, well, I don’t currently play any SOE games, so who am I to make a judgment? You know what, though? This is my blog, a place to share my observations, so why be so vanilla as to hold something back I’m thinking on. That’s something …
March: Feels Like November, Doesn’t It? [3DS, DA2, ETC.]
Update: Well, looks like PSOM was wrong. L.A. Noire just announced a May release date. Wow, March is fast approaching and it feels like November. We have some very big things approaching: Rift, Dragon Age 2, L.A. Noire, and, of course, the 3DS. Let’s see…that’s, what, about $400+ in goodies to buy? I don’t think …
Myths and Misconceptions – A Tank’s Perspective
I’ve mentioned more than once that I’m a tank. But what I might have forgot to include is that I didn’t always want to be one — once I realized what it involved. Theoretically, tanking is what it’s all about. Throughout the entire solo game, you’re a tank, regardless of your class. You’re up front, …
My Concerns About Rift
As someone who regularly contributes to a Rift fansite, I’ve been accused of being a bit “fanboi” on more than one ocassion. Generally, I don’t give much credence to that kind of claim because it tends to come anonymous or one-stop-to-troll visitors. Not everyone embraces the MMO Nomad playstyle like I do I can see where that’s …
Cataclysm Heroics – A Shot In The Foot?
If you’ve paid any attention at all to the WoW community in the last few weeks, you’ve probably heard how much more difficult the new heroics are. I’ve been in quite a few at this point, won some, lost some, and can say that I agree: we’re harder now than we’ve been since heroics first …
Reflections On My First Day In Rift Beta #4
You know who inspires me? Bullet Points Blog. In honor of his steadfastness to all things bullet point, I present to you my reflections from Rift’s fourth beta event: People who say that combat is boring must have played warriors. I brushed off my paladin (a warrior class) from the first beta event and thought …
Breaking Down Blizzard PR’s Christmas Card
I just checked my spam folder at Vagary. Gmail is doing work. It now send everything from Blizzard straight to the spam box. I guess they noticed how many “your accounts been haxxors” emails I was getting and decided to say screw it. That’s cool and all, but I wish there was a setting for …
