Being impaled and getting motion sickness

After our raid-empty valentine's weekend we all got back in the saddle and rode off to Blackrock Foundry once more to tackle the trash and bosses again. We all convened at the stairs to deal with the hideous trash. Knowing what was going on this time, we managed to avoid too much death. The corridor …

Twitter is coming!

This was announced a coupe of weeks ago. Twitter is coming into the game. I for one am exited about this. Being able to share screenshots instantly with people, or possibly even tweet Blizz with a comment or congratulations. I for one like my screenshots and like sharing them, I know not everyone does have …

Schooled by a 7 year old

It's now become apparent that as a group of adults, we are unable to all count properly. Between ninja pulls with healing spells, Army of the Dead and general miss-clicks by dps it was decided that we needed to go back to the School of Warcraft and get some refresher training on how to count …

Entering the Foundry

After the servers had their tantrum and locked the vast majority of us out on the 5th of February, we hung around in ts chatting about life. Some of RT1 were in their channel in the same dilemma as us. Communicating through the ts general chat with them they decided to gatecrash and make noises …

The types of people in a raid team

We had a plan for last night. Bladefist on HC then switch to normal and clear up to Ko'ragh. We did actually manage this. Not without some false starts along the way (naturally!) Thursday is a day when there are a couple of late arrivals, but we manage due to having our Fake Tanks and …

Orcs and Tigers and Fire, Oh my!

We started off on a clean run. We wanted gear and to get back to Imperiator Mar'Gok. We also started on Heroic. We killed Bladefist without 99% of us dying this time and went to Twins. We had discussed the whole 'blind spot' for the fire but none of us were any good at finding …

Raiding rules

Our number one raid rule is that we have fun. If it stops being fun then it becomes a chore. If it's a chore then you don't want to do it. If you don't want to do it then you don't want to be there. If you don't want to be there then the whole …

Heroic Bladefist

We killed this! WE KILLED THIS! I remember reading somewhere 'even if one person is left alive, a kill is still a kill' and we had everyone left alive. Not. Apparently the mechanics are the same, he just hits harder. Well, they were kinda the same. Apart from the horrendous bug we encountered where Bladefist …

Playing with the twins…

Tuesday was our last lockout day before we made the decision to clear again or to extend. We were on twins. We made our way over and the usual conversation started on ts. "Is there Horde there?" "Yes" "Yeah there's a million of them" "Run in like a boss" I'd landed at the flight path …

Omg we finally did Molten Core!

Time was rapidly running out before the ramped up MC would be leaving us. The 5th was coming nearer but the group of players who hadn't completed it already was getting smaller. Throw Christmas into the mix and you get a queue time of over an hour. Chizal had put up an event for Monday …
