WoW and Identity

Posted 08-27-2008 at 09:23 PM by Thireas
I've noticed something when people are talking or writing about WoW, and in particular their own characters. People tend to talk in the first person about their toons - I'm sure you've all noticed this. But what fascinates me is that they tend to set a point of reference at one character, speak in the first person when referring to that character, and then refer to other characters on their account in the third person.

For example, say I'm talking about my warrior. I will say things...

Mysterious officer stuff

Posted 08-27-2008 at 05:20 PM by Thist
This week I was just wondering about the mysterious world of officer decisions - they have to make them, but how much of their reasoning do you think they should share with their guild?

None,
Some,
Lots,
All,
On demand?

What do you do if you are an officer? Or what do your officers do? What do you think is best?

Ever since Comic Con, buzz has been flying about like crazy over the new flick The Watchmen (trailer link) and I'd say it's well deserved buzz. The movie looks interesting, to say the least, and it'll be the first "Hard R" superhero movie we've gotten.

With that said... Watchmen is in a bit of legal trouble. I first wrote about this on a forum a few weeks back but its still pretty hot news. The issue here is fairly complex, but can be described quite simply... Warner Bros...

DK Tanking Part One

Posted 08-27-2008 at 08:41 AM by Caulle
This will probably be a multi-part blog as I've been running a lot of dungeons on my Death Knight lately. We've been using the T6 geared druid OT from my raid to tank, which is generally better as his defenses are about 10x greater than mine. Last night he wanted to try out his hunter so I offered to tank Utgarde.

The 10 Second Rule
All Death Knight rotations are based off the 10 second rule. 10 seconds is the length of time it takes a rune to activate once used. I will...

Last night I ran Heroic Ramps with a few guildies and a PuGger. The only CC was a hunter, and his traps had this nasty tendency to get resisted, so I said "screw it" and didn't use CC. Our healer was undergeared, our DPS was low (I out DPS'd two of them, according to my meters), and one of us had never been through the instance.
