So I know I missed Saturday’s blog. I figured since it was Christmas Day and I would have pretty good excuse. I was busy. Holidays are crazy for grown up (well grown upish) women. I was cooking and cleaning and putting on earrings. Oh yeah I had a broken kitchen faucet for all of this …

My Favorite New Things in Cataclysm
Pygmies That’s right pygmies. Blizzard is freaking brilliant. The soft, pasty skinned, badly socialized, dorky players of the World of Warcraft felt like they waited for ages for the release of Cataclysm and I, for one, feel that it was worth it. The first two expansions were super cool; new races or a new classes, …

The Joys of Heroics
So most of the new serious players have at least one character to 85 and have begun the process of gearing those characters. Hooray for heroics! In WoW there are these things called dungeons or instances which are zones that five player enter into to work together and kill everything and steal the stuff from …

In Praise of Professions Part II
So if you remember back to my lengthy ramble from Thursday there are still some professions to cover. First the last three crafting professions. Inscription: Inscription uses “inks” made from ground up “flowers” to make items. One of the items they make are called glyphs. Players use glyphs to change their abilities and personalize their …

In Praise of Professions
Generally in the World of Warcrack certain aspects of the game get all the glory. Everyone talks about leveling, questing, raiding, or pPvP. (Player versus Player- when you kill other players as opposed to computer generated elements. I might make a short post later about PvP since I have few things to say.) These are …

Stuff and things
So I was going to write a really cool post today. I really was. Then I spent TWO FREAKING HOURS in wal-mart so I am reposting something I wrote for my guild’s forums last night. So a lot of us have started running 84-85 dungeons and heroics and some of us has had our teeth …

And on the Fifth Day She Rested
Okay, okay, I know my last two blogs have been utter crap. I know it. The good news is that I got my druid to 85 last night (I got the main character that I play to the maximum level that can be achieved) so the caffeine fueled insanity will slow down a bit and …

Cataclysm Day Three (spoilers DUH)
We are into the afternoon of day three of the release of the xpac. I had planned to do little but play the WoW and level but, like it normally does, life had other plans. I have gotten to play a far amount and I have noticed some really awesome stuff. I started leveling in …

It is Cataclysm Day!
So this morning at 2am Central time Cataclysm is supposed to come live. It is 2:24 am and I have yet to be able to log in. Honestly, I am not surprised. I think between installing an entirely new game and all the technical stuff that required combined with dipshits like me constantly pressing the …

I wanna be a worgen
So I got the suggestion to write at least a few of my blogs this month about WoW for people who don’t play WoW. Once upon a time, when Tina only had one child, she and I considered writing a noobs guide to warcraft. We had a few epic coffee fueled working sessions at the …
