Check Out My New Blog!

For those still popping up here, or have me on your RSS feed… please check out my new blog, Circumlocutions.  I recently did a post on the Tier 10 in review!

Check it out!

And thank you all for your support!

Farewell for now.

As it stands, I will be discontinuing this Blog due to several reasons:

• My lack of want to continue a World of Warcraft exclusive Blog.  I’ve had my fair share of major posts (the Ghostcrawler one, for sure) and that will continue to be the shining moment.  I’d like to say I’ve impacted some priests in the past, and possibly in the future, but I don’t think I can just write about that anymore.  It’s too hard, honestly.
• My involvement with my current guild, Lowered Expectations, is at a standstill.  I do not know whether I am returning to the guild or if I’ll be even returning to World of Warcraft.
• Finally, because I want to be more opinionated, crude, and whatnot… and it’s hard to do it here.  ;)

Thanks to all of those who’ve read.  If I come back to WoW, it’ll be under my new (and general information) blog at Circumlocutions, one that’ll be available to many folks and not just to WoW ones.

Love you all.

Why Other Things Are Fun…

Right, I do have a non-class Blog for vidja games, but specifically for World of Warcraft.

Can’t say that I am a big fan of talking about things that I haven’t played for almost two weeks, including raiding.

So what is new right now?  Not much.

But I do have a small thought that has been influenced by none other than my best friend during lunch.

Let’s say you raid for 4 nights a week.  How do you put your time in correctly, even on evenings where you may not have the best group set-up for certain goals?

My personal thought?

Two nights of Heroic ToC 25, one night of Regular ToC 25 + Onyxia + VoA, and one night of Regular and Hard ToC 10.

Now, I could be completely off-base when I say this, but to me… Ulduar 25 doesn’t really count so much anymore.  I say this because the only true upgrades for some folks probably come from hard modes, and probably from Algalon…

But everything else, I think, should be spent on those.

Yes, I understand: hard modes still kind of count, blah blah blah, get some drakes (yeah right).  But to me, gearing > mounts.  It will always go that way.

More contemplation… do I return to WoW?  I don’t know if I want to.  Dragon Age: Origins is probably the most entertaining game I’ve played for a while.  Left4Dead 2 is right around the corner… and truth be told, and I might sound terrible for it, I don’t miss raiding.  I don’t miss having that responsibility that gave no actual physical reward.  Am I a jaded person for not taking the mental and social rewards of raiding?  I don’t think so… but I’ve been doing it for a while, and I like spending a few hours doing homework (though I hate some of the stuff) and spending some time talking to my life partner, and spending time sleeping (which I didn’t do enough of when worrying about raiding and looking at numbers and whatnot).

I don’t know.  I need to think about this when I’m not in a long day of school, music, and work… but won’t this become life soon enough?
