Yes, I am still alive.

Yes, I am still tanking.

The guild is doing exceptionally well.

2.5 mos of raiding or so and we've managed to clear T5 up to Kael (he dies this week) and 4/5 Hyjal. I'm pretty impressed with the calibur of players I have picked up. Some need some work on raiding itself, but that will come with experience. The raw skill in those who lack experience is definitely there, not to mention a frightening amount of unabashed loyalty and...

So back at the end of July I hit up Comic Con like I do every year. Was awesome, fun, amazing, etc, etc. Everything I expect Comic Con to be. Just putting this here as an excuse to also say my 2nd favorite convention is coming up and I'm going to that as well... BlizzCon.

Not much more to say than that. Probably the most interesting thing I've got going for me right now since I've been so busy with work. :P

And what have we missed? Sadly not too much. With the looming threat of actors taking to the picket line there really hasn't been as many projects taking off as there could be.

But for what we did miss, it was pretty significant.

Obviously there "The Dark Knight". It was impressive, bold, and amazing, but not without its own issues. Performances were both epic and mundane at the same time, notably from different people. You had the well deserving of the hype...

I don't think epic gems are worth it. 160-200g for an extra three stamina is ridiculous.

That said, I'm considering upgrading my [item]Solid Star of Elune[/item]s to [item]Solid Empyrean Sapphire[/item]s. Why? For no other reason than to pimp out my toon as much as possible. Having 12 non-meta gem slots to fill with SES's, that would gain me 37.8 stamina (I don't really know how that rounds). Which is approximately another 378 health. I could then upgrade my [item]Clefthide Leg Armor[/item]...

Sure, we all like Deadmines and Stockades. There are incredibly cool quest chains, with those 2 instances being the cherrys on the top of them.

But lets face it, tanking them means little to nothing.

I went with my Feral Tank knowing this. I had another target, an official "Now I actually am a tank" instance, that I set my sights for, and have been focused on tanking it since level 1. It is my favorite instance, so naturally, tanking the whole place is an accomplishment...
