Posted on August 3, 2015 by shamus

Third day of Blaugust. Maybe I’d have managed something the first two, but it was a weekend, and I was slovenly. One of the reasons I didn’t even consider signing up officially but at least Blaugust might get me to … Continue reading →

Back to WoW

Posted on April 17, 2012 by shamus

So it turns out SW:TOR didn’t hold my interest for long. The general blogosphere seems to agree that it is a good single player story wrapped up in a medicore MMO, and I can’t argue with that. It does do … Continue reading →

Can’t Stop the Pop

Holy Rusted Metal Batman

Posted on February 4, 2011 by shamus

So my last post was all about going Shadow main spec. Does that mean I’ve given up on healing? In my mind I had. However we’re still kind of struggling off and on for healers on our raid nights so … Continue reading →

In the Shadow of Cataclysm

Posted on January 7, 2011 by shamus

Seems I can only manage a new post when I come up with a witty title. Hopefully I can work around that little foible and at least manage one new post per week. I’ve now got some proper raiding under … Continue reading →

Posted on December 23, 2010 by shamus
