Warcraft: Why I Don’t Raid
I don’t play nearly as much World of Warcraft as I did originally, but the time I spend in game is spent doing relaxing things like fishing and cooking quests or grinding reputation. Even while leveling up, I didn’t do any of the dungeons at the level intended – most of the instances that my [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Dual Specs
There is a lot of buzz in the Warcraft community about the long-promised dual specifications coming in patch 3.1. Also coming in that patch is the raid dungeon Ulduar, fortress of the Titans. Since I don’t do any raids, I’m only excited about Ulduar in respect to the lore involved – I mean, how could [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Stalled at 80
Last time I mentioned that my brother and I hit level 80 during the Sons of Hodir quests in the Storm Peaks. Well, we’re still pretty much exactly where we were since then. I’ve raised all of the Alliance race reputations to Exalted except Gnomeregan (stupid gnomes) and purchased each of their mounts. I think [...]
Level 80: Worth It
Last week I was down and out with a bad cold, so I stayed home from work. I managed to use my extra time at home to my advantage, however. Even though I was completely miserable, I was able to play World of Warcraft to pass the time. My brother and I managed to hit [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: The Lunar Festival
The latest holiday in World of Warcraft, the Lunar Festival, started last Saturday and runs until February 12, 2009. (Which, by the way, is the day after Love is in the Air begins.) This festival, at least for me, is a little more fun than the last one. During the Christmas holiday, I just never [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Wrath of the Monogamous
One of the stranger side effects of the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion for me is that I’ve felt less desire to play other characters beside my main. Sure, I play my Death Knight, but that’s only when my brother isn’t around to team up. I’ll try to supply a little [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Winter Veil
I haven’t played a lot of WoW lately – it’s been a rough and busy month. I have, however, managed to hop on for short amounts of time to hang out. Right now the Feast of Winter Veil is happening in game, which is the holiday celebrated through Christmas and the New Year. It hasn’t [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Death Knightery
(Warcraft Wednesday is a weekly column about things related to my experiences in and about World of Warcraft.)
Death Knights are a new class introduced with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. Like pretty much everyone else who plays the game, I created a new Death Knight character shortly after I [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Addiction
I’m not addicted to World of Warcraft. Yeah, I know, denial is a sign of addiction, whatever. But seriously, I don’t spend more time on the game than I did on other games before. All told, I don’t spend any more time on all my video games now than before I started playing Warcraft – [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Wandering Into Wrath
Yes, I know it’s late. Quiet, you.
World of Warcraft’s second expansion launched last week. I’ve been enjoying the edges of it very much. i say the edges just because I don’t have unlimited time to spend playing, so my brother and I have been playing in little chunks at a time. I just wanted [...]
