One Game Man
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…

Shared Topic: Best Paladin Changes
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…

Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium
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…

Frosty Gear in 3.3
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…

Doing the Unthinkable: Warrior Alt
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 [...]

Microtransactions: Final Thoughts
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 [...]

Heroic Faction Champions
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…

Vanity Pet Analysis: Lil’ K.T.
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 [...]

Solve the Avoidance Problem, Eliminate Tank Gear
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…

LFM 5k+ DPS Only!
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 [...]
