Blog Azeroth Community Topic: Why I Enjoy My Hunter

January 28, 2008

Over at Blog Azeroth, Siha of Banana Shoulders suggested we (the Blog Azeroth community) all write on a common topic. To get the ball rolling, she proposed "What do you enjoy about the class you play the most?"
Ever since I first got into fantasy gaming with Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition, the ranger-type character [...]

*grumble*

January 26, 2008

EDIT: It appears I have a rogue plugin. Re-enabling them now to see which one went belly-up.
 
Somehow, my Widgets (those things that arrange all the items in my sidebars) got fubared earlier this afternoon. I’m in the process of trying to restore some semblance of order to the mess you may be seeing right now. [...]

Why Do I Blog?

January 26, 2008

Over at the Blog Azeroth forums, someone asked a question about "Why do you blog?" Or more specifically, do you look at the various statistics about your blog, and if so, why? I wrote out a longish answer, then had a moment: Maybe you, my (usually) gentle readers, would like to know what makes [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy

January 25, 2008

I was really hoping to relate the tale of our latest excursion to Shadow Lab or Old Hillsbrad today, but unfortunately, our tank was held up at work last night so we decided we didn’t really have the time to do either place justice; however, they’re on tap for tonight and/or Saturday.
We did take the [...]

This is the post I really didn’t want to write.

January 23, 2008

It seems there is a sickness invading the blogging world of Warcraft. It’s the same sickness we’ve been fighting since about the second week of retail release: Gold sellers and solicitors.  Several bloggers have brought it up before me, but two of the most prominent are Matticus and Big Bear Butt. Feel free to follow [...]

Blog Azeroth (and Outland Too!)

January 23, 2008

Phaelia and Valenna just created a new site by and for WoW bloggers and prospective bloggers:  Blog Azeroth. Blog Azeroth isn’t a blog; rather, it’s a resource for bloggers in the form of a message forum.
Phae has a full description and introduction over at Resto4Life, but if you don’t want to make the [...]

A Shout-Out to WoW Insider

January 23, 2008

I just want to take a quick moment to thank Amanda Miller at WoW Insider for highlighting my recent article on First Aid in this morning’s Breakfast Topic. That article’s already received over 300 hits today, and it’s not even 8 am!

A Cautionary Tale

January 22, 2008

Unless you’re a blogger or an officer in a guild with your own website, you may safely skip this essay. But if you fit into either of the categories I named, take notes!
As you may know, I am the GM of our small (a dozen accounts, I think) guild. I also own and administer our [...]

It Was a VERY Good Sunday

January 20, 2008

On the Wings of Dragons 
It all started at midnight, as most days do. In this case, the start wasn’t good: My friends Mysty and Swissy had just been knocked out of the game, and couldn’t reenter. Turns out Blizzard was having some ISP issues. So we chatted on Skype, and about the time we [...]

What do you mean, you didn’t train First Aid??

January 18, 2008

Over at Bremm’s Musings, Bremm wrote about secondary skills. You know, the ones you took on one or two characters, but never really leveled up? Fishing, cooking, first aid…remember those? It’s a good article, and he gives a couple really insightful tips about my least favorite thing in the whole game, fishing.
But I’m here today [...]
