Yes, I’ve been AWOL; it wasn’t your imagination. It started when I went on vacation (no computer) and then it just kind of snowballed from there. Instead of writing a lovely coherent bit of prose, I’m just going to knock out some bullet points so you get the gist.
Personal Items
Went to my step-sister’s [...]

Remember how I told you I’d found an Orb of Deception? Well, guess what!? Tonight I sold it for 700G!!! Woot!!! Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow. Now Sligger will be able to afford his epic mount… assuming he ever gets enough honor to buy one. Color me flabbergasted!

For those keeping up with the escapades of the “anti-pug” experiment conceived of by Ess at Outland Bound, make sure you visit the blog for our new guild. It’s called Pox Arcanum. All of us in the guild are bloggers so I’m sure we’re going to have plenty to say!

No, not the cute little doggies! Leave the puppy-babies alone…!
I’m talking about our little anti-pickup group guild experiment, the brainchild of the lovely Ess at Outland Bound. It’s a phenom, I tells ya! A snowball with a mind of its own! [Insert your favorite runaway-train cliche here.]
I’m not going to cover ground [...]

We need 2 more bloggers. Are YOU one of them??
Here’s the deal. Ess at Outland Bound had a brilliant idea to form a little group of bloggers on a new server and roll some alts together. We could level together, having premades for instances and, later, bigger raids. We could even [...]

I have no idea how I found this site. Sometimes I go down rabbit holes and end up someplace cool. Which is the main reason I continue to go down those rabbit holes.
In any event, I stumbled upon the GamerCafe’s Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology. I took the test. It’s less [...]

It turns out that the incident which inspired my rant from the other day was mostly my own doing. I stand by the things which annoy me, but there is no longer any blog in specific which I’m thinking about for any of those items. I wrote the rant because I was irked [...]

In December 2006, I got to interview for a job at Blizzard. I was so excited that I nearly peed my pants for every day before the interview. (That takes a lot of Mountain Dew, I tell ya.) I was applying for a job that I thought would be a slam-dunk for [...]

Nibuca at Mystic Chicanery mused on an interesting topic last week: impermanent death. I’ll wait for you to go read her premise and then come back to me…
…and we’re waiting, and we’re waiting…
Okay! Glad to have you back.
In WoW (and most games for that matter), death is not a permanent situation. At [...]

Dude. I finally got WoW installed on our iMac yesterday. Tonight I wanted to continue working on my baby Draenai shammy that I rolled on a PvP server, just for kicks. However, my new server, Vashj, is down. So is my main server, Thorium Brotherhood. And just for good measure, [...]
