Chocolate even. Of course, I can't really show them but heck it's the thought that counts. I got cookies here and you don't. Just imagine me sitting here nibbling away while talking with my mouth full as you sit there wanting to eat my cookies. Aha!So I was thinking, I'm not so much into the "blogging" loop anymore. Never really been to begin with but still I've managed to pick up some interesting reads along the way. I haven't really had time to really explore all the new or old blogs that could be interesting however. So, perhaps there are a few blogs that you've run into in the last few months that you'd like to see linked here in the next (or, one of the next) posts. Perhaps you even own one yourself? Just leave a comment and I'll have a look when there's time.
I haz bare
No not a bare butt. A Bear. RAWR!
Or a cat. Prrr. Whichever. Druids are pretty versatile. Healer died? Jump to caster form and help out keeping the tank up. Tank down? Go bearform and taunt. Then pray you get heals.... heh.
I never really got the point of that "durid spaek", it's a misshaped form of lolcat I guess...
Anyway, I got him to level 80 sometime this week. 16 / feb even. And he's been flying about mining and collecting herbs since. Even one messy Naxx for a few bosses. Which showed he was still pretty fresh and wet from the recent paint job. More on that later anyway, he needs gear, and I need to figure out what a good druid (cat) DPS rotation is.
The rogue is still my main though, no worries.
News?
Ulduar on the PTR soon(ish), but you knew this already. If not, what stone have you been under? Check out the "official" preview later I guess.
There will be 14 bosses, 11 of which feature a "hard" mode much like Sartharion - the black dragon in Obsidian Sanctum. Hard mode bosses will give you extra challenges and loot if defeated in that manner.
Keep an eye on it, there's also going to be a good lot of class changes and above all Dual spec being added!
Dual spec allows players who are level 80 to train two sets of talents. Your glyphs and button bars will also be saved as you switch. Switching itself requires a Scribe to summon a book which you can then click and use to switch. Basically this means you: A) Need to be out of combat. B) Need a minimum of 2 other players with you to make use of it. So, no soloing and switching specs while grinding.
Hardware
Yeah, those headphones work just fine, except.... the microphone. Whether it's the piece of crap we know as vista, or just bad drivers I'm not sure yet... But it's certainly pissing me off!
Poll end
Poll results, what are your thoughts on Wintergrasp?
The lag, yeah it's the biggest issue of the event really. When the opposing team comes at you with a swarm of red nametags you just know it'll be at least a few seconds before your cast even starts, let alone finish. Stop a tank? Stop a clicker? Not gonna happen. Those who've been there generally enjoy a good battle, no question there. You get to ride tanks after all!
Also
It seems Shin Goji from Neo Monster Island (nsfw) is also playing that BvS game I linked a few weeks back. So hey, /waves. I wonder whether there's any others around that I've visited before. Ya never know! If you haven't tried it yet... do it now. Keeps the mind busy in between raid /afk readychecks.More links!
* Aikida is still updating! I think that's a record for Josh ;) Check it out though, it's an interesting comic.
* Speaking of interesting comics, Shadowgirls is coming up with some awesome pages lately.
* Neo Earth is another you should read, or at least have a look at, and is one of a handful of comics that sticks to his weekly update without fail.
* Something I haven't linked before (I think) is You Damn Kid, who will be showing you a video series of Barnyard Pete starting this very soon to be upcoming MONDAY the 23rd of februari 2009! Be sure to check the preview / prologue. You know it's funny, coz I just linked it here.
* Undertow has started updating again recently. It's amazingly well drawn, and a nice story. Just have a look as I'm still at a loss for words at the good news myself!
* On the subject of sudden updates, Orneryboy got a quick update this week as well. /gasp
* And, after "nearly a year" of silence... Life on Forbez posted two quick updates sometime in januari. But seems to have gone silent again... Sigh..
* Pawn (NSFW!) Has still not "really" updated, and is taking his sweet time getting chapter 6 underway. It's a cute comic mostly done in black and white, but definitely worth checking out. But, as stated it is absolutely NOT safe for work. You've been warned.
* Grim Tales is spinning it's current story arc to a dramatic conclusion (updates weekly), great art, good story. If the above links weren't enough to keep you busy, the snafu site surely should be.
