My apologies for having started up this blog, getting some solid entries in, and then disappearing into the night…I’ve been sick the last week. But I am returned and ready for more bloggin’! Stay tuned for an entry later on the Plaguelands as well as the entry on addons I promised.

Ok so I know this has nothing to do with WoW, but this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I laughed the entire 2 minutes and 56 seconds.

Just be warned, this post is very wall-o-text. (also, I’ll edit later, I’m a little rushed.)
For Gnomeregan!
September 9, 2009 § 3 Comments
I read a post over at Armaggedon’s Coming today that got my passions inflamed. To sum it up, Gnomeaggedon makes the claim that the Gnomes need to retake Gnomeregan to escape our Dwarfish and Human oppressors. He talks about how we are relegated to the smallest, dirtiest areas of Ironforge and Stormwind, and how we are mostly treated as an afterthought. He accuses the Dwarfs and Humans of “receiving some sort of Alliance Refugee Assistance Payments, keeping it for themselves to fund their exploration and war efforts while the Gnomes sleep rough on the streets and get relegated to corner shop owners.”
And you know, it’s hard for me to disagree with him. It may be because I have my own theory on what actually happened in Gnomeregan.

Speaking of hating Arthas (aka what makes a bad tank?)
September 7, 2009 § 2 Comments
In my last post I talked about a very unfortunate Culling of Stratholme run that went south because Arthas bugged out. But I got to thinking and I realized something.
Arthas is the worst tank ever.
Well, ok, maybe not the worst ever, but he’s not exactly going to be front running any top-rated guilds any time soon. He does lack some serious skills as a tank. He runs off all wily nilly, giving no thought or heed to his group mates, pulling mob after mob without waiting for anything. And even when he does give a ‘moment to clear your lungs’ he doesn’t actually give you all that much time, and half the time he doesn’t actually stop–he pulls the closest zombies, often keeping you in combat so you can’t eat or drink
It got me thinking, what exactly makes a bad tank? I’m sure everyone has run across a few doosies, each tied to unique and often very entertaining stories. But in each story there was something specific the tank did or didn’t do that caused the disaster. So I asked my guild mates to see if they had any insight on what tanks do that make them ‘bad’.
