It being August, and blisteringly hot and humid in my neck of the woods, and there being basically zero things other than Classic going on in WoW just now, I am going to take a summer break from the blog. Current plans are to resume after Labor Day, on Wednesday, Sep 4. By then we … Continue reading BRB
PvP still sucks
Over the weekend I ran some random battlegrounds on my monk. The only reason I ran them was because there was an engineering blueprint I wanted, and it was locked behind doing enough PvP to get the whatchamacallit gizmos to pay the vendor dude in Nazjatar. So, first off, I was grumpy because I felt … Continue reading PvP still sucks
We have met the competition, and it is us

Before you do, check out this post about the “not a bug” as well as the “OK … Continue reading Another scattershot post
I got nothin’
If you are a short on time, just skip today’s post, because I admit up front I got nothin’. There is very little going on in WoW, the game is basically holding its breath waiting — waiting for Classic to drop, waiting for the next half-patch (8.2.5), waiting for the next round of Blizzcon speculation … Continue reading I got nothin’
