So Gravity over at pwnwear asked a question in his blog, and I’d like to address it here. He wrote a post about whether or not you play games other than WoW.I wondered, how unusual am I? The best comparison would be to others in my circumstance: marrie…

I’m a bit late to the party on this one, but the shared topic on Blog Azeroth is asking about what we think are the best changes that have happened to WoW in the last 5 years. You can see the posts from other people on the Twisted Nether site.I haven’t…

Hey everybody, we wanted to wish a very special Thanksgiving to all the members of our community from the blog to the podcast. Have a great Turkey Day!

On more official business the podcast will be coming a day late due to the Holiday so we can all spend some quality time with our families in the real world… Today’s epic quest – eat so much turkey you pass out.

Omen3 is the first add-on for the Emporium’s “official” kick-off.

Happy Turkey Week!  Jov and Seri are traveling, spending time with friends and family, and preparing for a serious case of food coma.  Special thanks for the guest posts for taking wow posting off our plates, and leaving us with more room for sides…
So you want to run some battlegrounds as a . . . [...]

Night Elf Mohawk
I pity the fool that doesn’t experience the Mohawk Grenade in game.

Shadowmourne revealed
We discuss the new legendary weapon Shadowmourne and talk about why legendary items don’t scale with level.

Plight of the new tank
So you want to tank but no one will let you? We talk about the struggles of new tanks starting out.

Really??
Our own version of SNL’s Really skit, where we talk about Blizzard’s …

I’m thinking of doing a weekly column for WoW add-ons, if there’s any interest in the listener/readership here. The idea is that I will try them out and recommend them for general use or specific classes, along with links to where you can get them.

To give you an idea of my qualifications, I have been playing RPGs since 1976 (Dungeons & Dragons first edition!), and MMORPGs since Everquest (the first one). I’ve played through EQ, Asheron’s Call, Diablo II, and now World of Warcraft (remember when “raid” meant “level 58+ …

In past patches, I’ve only given a cursory glance at new gear as it’s discovered on the PTR and reported on sites like MMO-Champion. I figured that A, the gear could change and 2, Petrus on Maintankadin would update his gear list and I’d check it…

Last week the Twitter WoW crowd got started on talking about legendary weapons, due to the new legendary weapons that are being released in the new patch. The conversation of people’s attempts to get them, or their reaction after successfully getting them, prompted me with a bit of an idea:
I wonder how it would feel [...]

The purchasable minipets continue to cause a storm across the blogosphere. I’ve already mentioned them here and here, but rather than offer another analysis on the Pandaren Monk as I did with Lil’ K.T. I’m just going to offer one finally post on it and then I’m leaving these two alone.
I don’t care what [...]

We had the ‘good’ problem of more raiders than spots last night. I say it’s a good problem because it’s certainly better than not having enough raiders for your team.Boston asked for volunteers to sit, and I thought about it, but I knew we were…

After buying both of the new vanity pets for my wife that I mentioned yesterday, we took a look at them both to decide what we thought about them. Initially I was almost certain that K.T. was the one for me as I’ve always been a fan of liches and necromantics and such, and pandas [...]

I got this idea after reading Blessing of Kings excellent post on Chill of the Throne (aka Icewell Radiance).Basically the best way for Blizzard to address the high avoidance problem is to remove Plate Tank gear in the next expansion, and put all Tanks…

I’ve found myself in quite the catch-22 as of late.  No raiding guild wants a new 80, for obvious reasons.  I’ve been trying to find one who will let me sit the bench for a week or two, until I can gear myself up.  Nothing has happened as of yet.
Being that I don’t have a [...]
