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 [...]
A Continued Lack of Motivation
I think I just need to resign myself to the fact that it’s going to be a while before my interest in WOW picks up again, and that if I want to write any posts at all, they need to be about a more broad spectrum of topics. I do miss writing here – it’s therapeutic. [...]
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 [...]
MurgleKae
We may not have downed Cho’gall before the patch, but I at least I have a new hat. What is a resto/elemental shaman doing with an agility hat? It all stems back to my hatred of Murglesnout. Since the expansion launched I have raged about the utter stupidity of the existence of such a fish. Back before fish feasts, [...]
Maps and Musings
I’m hoping that unlike the other five posts sitting in draft status that this one will actually get published. Yes, I still exist. I didn’t mean to disappear, but intentions mean very little. My WOW schedule has been fairly minimal. I log in for raids, and the rest depends on the week. My priest is [...]
When Fiction Becomes Reality
I was walking through my house yesterday, and had one of those moments. I suddenly realized “this is my house”, realized that something I imagined for so long was actually real. I was overwhelmed by that weird feeling of “how did I get here”? It’s the most potent kind of Deja Vu – living something you [...]
Online Friendships
The Online Friendship Phenomenon I saw this graph once, and I can’t remember for the life of me whether it was on Twitter or a blog post — my GoogleFu has completely failed me. I really wish I could show it to you as it sparked the foundation of this post, but alas. Anyways, this graph basically depicted [...]
Thinking About Your WOW Career
I haven’t spent a lot of time in-game over the past two weeks, and have been feeling rather apathetic about everything, WOW included. Winter always leaves me a bit depressed – from the bitter cold air that freezes the inside of my nose, to the pale-but-blindingly-bright sun that doesn’t provide any warmth, to the insane [...]
Unsolicited Advice
Yesterday I finally hit 80 on my priest. It’s been a long journey, from slow horde-side leveling pre-LFG, pre-heirloom, to somehow accomplishing my goals to get through the horde Wrathgate before Cata, to her faction transfer from Blood Elf to Night Elf. I was thrilled to finally have her ready for Cataclysm content. I ported [...]
