A Pox on PuGs!

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 [...]

You’re Invited to a Bloggers’ Alt Guild

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 [...]

…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 [...]

WoW Servers Down Tonight

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, [...]

Thank you, memers!

In this post, I tagged five bloggers, as Big Daddy Gamer instructed on his original post, to continue the “5 Lessons/5 Years” meme and I promised to link back to those who played along. Now I pony up the links! I’ve added these sites to my blogroll in appreciation:

Big Red Kitty (even [...]
