No Trial, I Don’t Like You.

By | August 31, 2009

Okay, so don’t get me wrong, the new ten man/twenty five man instance is SORT OF fun. The first boss is ridiculous, the second is easy, though I guess having flaming boots is entertaining. The third boss . . . makes me angry because I don’t want my PvP in my PvE thank you very [...]

When you make a new character for WoW, how much do you know about that character and how much do you discover about that character? Some RPers write volumes upon volumes of their character’s life before character creation. Other players let the RP they involve themselves determine what occurred before they entered the starting zone. [...]

By | August 25, 2009

Now that we’re all aware that we won’t really be able to roll Nagasaurs (damn it!) and Blizzcon’s closed its doors for another year, I want to touch — briefly and tangentially — on the idea of the upcoming Cataclysm. First, a disclaimer: while I’m sure there will be lore aplenty and all kinds of [...]

Breakin’ the Law, Breakin’ the Law.

By | August 24, 2009

Hello folks. On behalf of the writers here, I’d like to apologize for sketchy postings the last week or so. One of us had the audacity to go off and get married, and the other two may have been drinking beers to celebrate. We’re back, though, I swear! So game mechanics – they’re cool, right? [...]

A hat tip to Arrens for this idea Recently, we had a hit on the blog from the following search terms: Arthas Uther Slash Fic.

Friday Fiction: Another Adventure, Another Beginning

By | August 14, 2009

I hadn’t put much thought into playing a Death Knight, wasn’t sure what kind I’d like to play or what his/her story would be.  So when Yva asked if I’d consider playing a character who had, until that point, been one of her NPCs, I thought I’d give it a try.  I haven’t played her [...]
