I am endeavoring to take more screen shots of all the funny things that happen – Would you belive I STILL can’t find my Screen shot folder on my 64 Bit Windows so I have to SS and then paste into Gimp. I even installed Piccaso to try and see if it was hiding in some odd directory

Alright folks – time for another Ask Anna question.

Did first 4 bosses on ICC 25 man - My better upgrades are going to come from 25 so I should do them more often. Don’t need much loot in 10’s.

The Drama Mamas are real-life mamas and experienced WoW players — and j ust as we don’t want our precious babies to be the ones kicking and wailing on the floor of checkout lane next to the candy, neither do we want you to become known as That Guy on your server. How to handle that sticky situation? Ask the Drama Mamas at DramaMamas@wow.com .

Cozmo from GTFOOTF pointed out that so many of us bloggers are playing Wow in some new or different wa y to maintain our motivations to keep playing, and speaking to Kiwired from One of these Alts  who has rolled even more Alts with SAN – how SAN   ( Single Abstract Noun ) has come about at the right time for him to fill in the gaps between now and the expansion. Alts – Special projects – who will survive this downturn – or shall we see more Phoenix raiders ‘die’ and then resurrect in time for the expansion with grand stories of other games, and stuff like real life stories.  The result of a current case of Altolism or Is it ADD is now a Level 20 Shammy – I’m feeling a little guilty

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

So, I had a day off yesterday and I decided to spend a bit of time running a daily random heroic with Malyss.

Welcome to Scattered Shots , written by Frostheim of Warcraft Hunters Union and the Hunting Party Podcast . Each week Frostheim uses logic and science mixed with a few mugs of Dwarven Stout to look deep into the Hunter class. The Crimson Halls of Icecrown Citadel contains the kind of horrors that the Plagueworks could only hint at.

Anne talked recently about all the bits and pieces that tend to accumulate in a packrat’s bank vault , and I’m one of the guilty parties. I’m a hardcore collector of feral staves, tier sets, tabards, and assorted items that I just can’t bring myself to delete ( Seal of Ascension — seriously, why do I still have this?). Unfortunately, the tendency carries over into quests as well.

The background for this post can be read here and here .

Gevlon posted an article in which he argues that Blizzard secretly supports goldselling, “proof” being that they haven’t eliminated the practice yet.

If you are reading this blog then the chances are excellent that you have more than a passing interest in video games. That’s well and good, and serves as common ground for a conversation, but sometimes it becomes a little too easy to see a blogger or guest as a one dimensional creature, driven by gaming and not much else.

Explosive Shot is the signature ability of the survival tree. However, I often find that many hunters are unaware of how and when to properly use it, especially in the event of a Lock and Load proc. Until Kill Shot becomes available (once the kill target is at or below 20% health), Explosive Shot is the number one priority shot

With the upgrade of the Dungeon Tool for regular 5-player instances , increasing the pool of potential PUGmates you’ll be assigned to because of the cross-realm battlegroups being included, I’d love to hear from everyone else your opinion about ditching PUG parties with little or no warning. Fact: PUG Ditchers Used To Be More Annoying Than They Are Today Not to say that I think people should feel free to ditch groups they got into and have progressed part way through the instance with, but I definitely think with the cross-realm LFG, there’s a lot more flexibility than there used to be. It used to KILL a group when the Tank or Healer would leave, especially when it comes to Heroics and having already completed one of the bosses in the instance

Dodge the drama and become that player everyone wants in their group with the Drama Mamas .

I confess. My raiders and I have been bashing our heads against a brick wall for a couple of weeks. Our heads have been filled by the red mist ‘o wrath

The Disappeared , by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, is the first book in her Retrieval Artist series; that said, it is actually the second book in the series that I have read, the first ( Buried Deep ) having been picked up on a whim at a used book store.

The official preview for Invincible, a new mount dropped in 25-player Icecrown Citadel , is now availble on the official website !? If you missed it at the end of last week, be sure to check out the Invincible music , which will also be involved in the Icecrown Citadel raid instance. The mare Brightmane gave birth to Invincible as a young Prince Arthas watched with rapt attention. In the years following Invincible’s birth, the horse and Arthas formed a bond that carried them across the warring nations of Azeroth, through the icy grip of death, and into the throes of battle
