One of the things that disappointed me most about Cataclysm was the archaeology profession. When the concept was announced years ago, I envisioned a new addictive profession that would get me out exploring the world, collecting interesting artifacts, and gaining lore tidbits. I generally like professions in video games, and I love exploring as well. It seemed like the [...]
Lost in the Mists
Mists of Pandaria has been out for… a while now. And of course I haven’t managed to post a single word about it, or anything else for that matter. But I’ve finally found myself in a writing mood, so I figure I’ll take advantage of it before the moment passes. What have I been up [...]
Caster Shaman Gear List MOP Edition
This is NOT a BIS list, or even a BIS pre-raid list. The items are not ranked in a specific order. I have simply included a selection of gear to look out for as I level and begin heroic dungeons on my resto/elemental shaman. Use your own judgement as to which combination of these pieces [...]
Mists of Pandaria Beta: Initial Questing with Jade Forest Closed
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been off enjoying the outside world, or just playing other games. WOW hasn’t been a part of my life at all this summer. After listening to a few of my usual podcasts, however, I felt a slight flicker of interest. I finally found the energy to try the WOW [...]

Behind the Mists: Wandering Isle
I wasn’t among those Annual Pass subscribers that were up in arms about the lack of an immediate Beta invite. It was an unrealistic expectation that 1 million people could suddenly log onto a small set of beta servers. I completely understand Blizzard’s situation, and they’ve handled it all quite well in my opinion. With [...]
A Wild Meme Appears
The “Sixth” meme has been traversing the WOW blogosphere over the past day or so. I was somewhat hoping that I could get out of this one, but when Daraia tagged me I found myself jumping on the bandwagon. Gnomeaggedon started the chain and set the following rules: Go into your image folder Open the [...]
WOW’s Social Future
Tuesday’s patch contained bug fixes, Dragon Soul nerfs, and a new (and irritating) game file cleanup process. It also contained one new feature that the community is slowly beginning to buzz about – Cross-Realm raiding with Real ID friends. While we’ve all probably dealt with the effects of the other changes in the patch, this [...]
