http://frostmage.net The thoughts and equations of a Tauren Druid. Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:19:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The place is a mess, there are posts that need fixing, the various lists on the sidebar are extremely old and you have no idea what I'm up to in-game these days. Also, I have a developing rant about what makes raiding fun. You do not, however, get any of these ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/large-prismatic-cow/ http://frostmage.net/index.php/target-mooonfire/ Mad Cow Chronicles: Heroes of Underbog from Llanion on Vimeo. http://frostmage.net/index.php/thats-just-how-the-murlocks-roll/ It has been a month since I posted; the aforesaid post needs fixing to match reality. I've been too busy to post- the dreaded R-type Life keeping me occupied. Later today- it being 3:47 AM as I type this- I may expand upon, elaborate, or even post entirely new posts. My ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/perhaps-later-today/ Today's entry is the first in what will (hopefully) be a series called "Mechanics With a Rubber Wrench". The theme is to break down, into simple concepts and ideas, the not-so-horribly-simple and occasionally viciously-complex mechanics of World of Warcraft.

There's only so much "You must be perfect" that I can handle, and ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/the-road-goes-ever-on-and-on/ I figure it's important to put something up here so you know I'm not dead (beyond "I'll do a real post later, I promise"). So here you are. And that's why I haven't been writing! I've been working on the stuff referred to in the video, either in-game or out. http://frostmage.net/index.php/interim/ I have a nice long panzerkin post for you later. For now, I would merely like to note that I was actually on Quel'danas when Arathor took the Armory. It was disappointing- there was no fanfare, no epic battle to take the building. It was just a zone-wide yell of ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/the-armory-is-ours/ This one runs long. If you get bored or are shocked and dismayed at any point, roll it on down to the bottom of the post where you get a TL;DR explanation. So the time has come to announce it. I did, of course, briefly dabble in a Balance-weighted healer build, before ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/vile-blasphemies-that-will-get-me-shunned/ Waiting in the queue for Arathi Basin at the moment, for my first bit of 2.4 PVP. I picked up 4/5 blue Faction PVP gear, so I'm toting a decent level of resilience for the first time. Picked it up in Moonkin flavor, in fact, since I'm trying to construct a ... http://frostmage.net/index.php/ah-sweet-irony/
