H ey Gang! So if you’re like me, you’re probably so burned out from running the Daily heroics that your brain has exploded all over your keyboard. Spontaneous Combustion! BAM! The situation that most everyone’s still in is a couple of different things: A) You still need Frost Emblems for gear B) You still need Triumph Badges for gear C) You have absolutely nothing else to do with your time D) You are a masochistic person and enjoy the pain that it brings because it makes you feel alive Well, what ever combination you’re situation is right now, you still need to force yourself to run them. Most of the time, if you bring a buddy, it makes it 10x better

Yesterday’s discussion on the future Blizzard MMORPG evolved into a discussion of possible changes to MMORPG combat. While various games have fiddled with the system in different ways over the last decade, MMORPG combat is still remarkably similar in various games

Admit it. You like loot as much as I do. Maybe you oggle over stats on a new shiny with a calculator and spreadsheet at hand

Lolegolas the Gnomekiller lounged next to the lumber mill in Arathi Basin . His sinewed arms lovingly stroked his bow.

Well if you haven’t heard – Miss Medicina has a started up a Bloggers and Blog readers guild on Argent Dawn her post Single Abstract Noun is recruiting Stateside has all the details Of course I rolled a priest.. While I really don’t need a 4th ( I have ex-twink still as #3 on my home server Dath’remar I didn’t have the heart to roll something else. I even added Flag Rsp2 a Rp add on to play with .

Patch 3.3.3 Mounts Patch 3.3.3 introduced a couple of new mounts and I think it’s time for a recap! Celestial Steed The Celestial Steed is probably the most impressive mount of his patch, it looks like a mix of Invincible and Algalon. I’m not really sure where this mount will drop for the moment but considering how cool it looks, I wouldn’t expect it to be widely available.

Ridiculously quick post from me today. So there’s this bug where, if you dual spec whilst leveling, the spells/abilities/etc on your offspec’s bars don’t exactly update properly when you level. I can’t even begin to count the number of people who got called out by RankWatch for this and flushed in embarrassment.

The dance studio is perhaps the most enduring piece of vapor ware in WoW to date. First hinted at in the original WotLK trailer and announced in the months leading up to release, it was conspicuously absent from the finished product, however, and now that we’re on the final major patch of the expansion, it still hasn’t made it in game. The closest we’ve gotten to any sort of official word on it, barring the dance battle April fool’s joke , is from a Curse interview with the developers that suggests the dance studio won’t be in Wrath at all

Trojan succesfully hacks Authenticator Protected Accounts A new virus spawned on the internet a few days ago and seems to be the first trojan capable of hacking a WoW account protected by an Authenticator. It was confirmed by Blizzard a few hours ago. Quote from: Kropacius ( Source ) After looking into this, it has been escalated, but it is a Man in the Middle attack.

I had a revelation last week. It’s one I’m not afraid to share because I suspect there are a lot of players in the same position as me. That position is peering out from round a corner with a bemused grin and crimson cheeks, watching the macro users of our raid do ten things at once while showering the raid in light and laughing at the boss

For those of you that having been living under a virtual rock for the better part of this expansion, GearScore is a wildly popular add-on that does exactly what it says. It gives you a score based on your gear. The better you gear is, the higher your score is

So there exists an addon called “Underachiever”.

There have been a few Blue Posts focused on monkin over the past week. None of them are huge but I would like to highlight them in case they have been missed.

F or some time now, I’ve been running my second spec as Demonology. I primarily use the spec for the daily random heroic that I run, but I’ve also lately found it quite fun in Battlegrounds. I want to go on record here at that start saying that everything I learned about this spec, I learned from the late Abigore (not that he’s died, mind you, just moved on to other things) and his wonderful guides .? Since he’s no longer blogging, I wanted to take the time to continue what he started, even if my advice will be somewhat more casual and less involved.? The spec is a great spec, and it deserves to be broadcast in it’s own right.? I will still (and probably always) raid Affliction, but Demonology has strengths where Affliction has weaknesses, making it perfect for a second spec.

Rich Maloy is currently working on a real life augmented reality app that will dynamically generate and display his most important priority to accomplish at that moment, as well as cooldowns remaining on important events such as birthdays and anniversaries. Friends and family invited to the private alpha test said the software, known as RichAndAwe, kept getting stuck at “buy more Guinness.” Rich reports this is working as intended. Of all the add-ons in all the mod sites in all the world there’s one that stands out among the best for playing enhancement: ShockAndAwe
