Raiding After Dark: And then, a break in the storm....
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013/04/and-then-break-in-storm.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. And then, a break in the storm. I haven't raided in about 3 weeks. After killing Lei-Shen (one of the all-time great fights. In Warcraft history - seriously amazing), I lost my flex-time at work and couldn't raid anymore with my guild. Finding myself in a position of having to go through the applications, interviews, introductions, and assimilation, process again. Just proved too much. And finding myself having to find another. Group I just couldn't do it again. Or as close as r...

Raiding After Dark: February 2013
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 11, 2013. Looking For A Guild Made Me Happy. And because it's nice to play the part of being the courted one instead of courting all the time. :-). Unfortunately, they raid 3 nights back to back but don't stop till 1:30am my time - which was kicking my ass by the end of the first week. I wrote a very long and polite letter explaining why I needed to keep looking but wound up explaining it all over BattleNet anyway, as we caught up in game before the GM had read the letter. It might be eg...

Raiding After Dark: September 2013
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. I think I might be done with tanking after 4 full expansions of doing nothing but that. The reasoning behind it pretty much split evenly between a fewfactors. I'm just bored with tanking, because honestly this is the second tier in a row where tanking is dumb and easy and with no real challenges or interesting mechanics to manage. I'm honestly looking for a role that's more interesting and fun and dynamic than tanking. I think it'll be good for me. Keep me playing the game...

Raiding After Dark: Siege of Orgrimmar - First Impression & Tanking Tips (bosses 1 - 3)
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013/09/siege-of-orgrimmar-first-impressions.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Siege of Orgrimmar - First Impression and Tanking Tips (bosses 1 - 3). First night into the raid wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, but it was still a very good evening and nothing to cough over. The first three bosses went down in Normal mode with a little over two hours of actual work - we had some trash wipes to overpulls, and some connection issues, and stopped a bit early for Flex - and then we took another hour to clear through all 4 bosses available in Flex. You cann...

Raiding After Dark: Siege of Orgrimmar - More Tanking Tips (bosses 4 - 7)
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013/09/siege-of-orgrimmar-more-tanking-tips.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Siege of Orgrimmar - More Tanking Tips (bosses 4 - 7). The difficulty in Siege is bothering me a bit. I don't know if it's just dumb plain easier. After a (relatively) quick and painless kill of the Sha of Pride. We got a bit stuck on Galakras. And after a quick wipe, wound up hitting enrage on the second pull with about 1% left on the boss. Unsure if we just got lucky, we tried again and killed him in a couple of more pulls. Anyway. Last time I covered the first 3 bosses.

Raiding After Dark: June 2013
http://raidingafterdark.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 27, 2013. It's been a while, eh? Two months is the longest break I've taken from this blog in a long, long time. What have I done in the time away? And I've managed to continue puttering about WoW without joining another hardcore raiding guild. I'm kind of glad on the one hand and kind of missing it a lot on another. It's a weird thing to game in an old and familiar if very casual way. Anyway, I'm really only playing 2 nights a week and not having a steady raid team certainly hurts. We...

Priest With A Cause: Welcome to the Deadmines
http://priestwithacause.blogspot.com/2015/05/welcome-to-deadmines.html
Priest With A Cause. Welcome to the Deadmines. This video was an instant classic - though in hindsight the part about the old instance getting buffed to 80 seems bittersweet. After my less than stellar grouping experience in Redridge. The next time I logged in and had finally sorted out my bags, I decided to look for a Deadmines group again, vowing to not let myself get distracted this time. I mopped up some leftover quests in the Westfall area and kept an eye on general chat. At the very end I even got ...

Plenty of Paladins: January 2015
http://plentyofpaladins.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. This week in screenshots. You don't want to be the goren that interrupts Rim at a mining node. You just don't. Someone get this puppy off my command table! I need to see the maps. Oh alright, never mind, it can stay." Tai's kind of a sucker for little ones of all shapes and sizes. Sunday, January 25, 2015. New Male Blood Elves. The new hands look great, the body is really well done, definitely an upgrade. But the faces. well. Here's Rim, the perfect knight. I really like his h...
