Short break
Jul 28th
Hi guys, Just a short note to say I’m taking a bit of a break from the game and computery stuff in general, to give my wrists a chance to heal up, and because I probably should have a break now while it’s quiet. I also need to focus on work and some RL stuff
Cataclysm talent update, armor specialisation
Jul 23rd
Courtesy of mmo-champion, here are the latest changes to the druid talent trees. I imagine they are long from being finished yet, so as always, take with a grain of salt and don’t assume they will look exactly like this at release. [...]
Debuff: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Jul 22nd
So.. fairly certain I have Cubital Tunnel. Imagine smacking your funny bone – you know that feeling? Now imagine that the feeling never goes away. Ever. HAPPY FUN TIMES. Waiting on x-rays to make sure it’s not an issue with my neck, but my doctor is pretty sure it’s carpal/cubital – I have some tingling

Casual Kingslayer
Jul 13th
I was browsing the forums this morning and noticed a post called “Casual Kingslayer“.
Back in TOC, my 10 man guild ran “organised PUGs” of 25man TOC, including heroic modes – which, at the time, put us briefly at 3rd on the server progression ladder, or something similar. So I’m always interested to see “casual” or weekend raiders getting through content.
(Note: this is not a “casual vs hardcore” post) [...]
A hollow victory
Jul 10th
We won; no real names on the forums.
It’s a hollow victory though – because (like many others) I feel that something has changed, now. They hid the knowledge of the Real ID plan from us. When they introduced it in-game, I thought it was a nifty thing. I’d missed my cross-server buddies. I liked using it. But, shortly after that, they announced the forums plan – which, obviously, had been in planning for a long time – so why did they pretend that Real ID in your friends list was the full extent of the plan for now?
