Last week, the gang from It came from the Blog participated in several Hallow’s End activities. We put out the fires in Falconwing Square, pranked Southshore and went Trick or Treating through the Eastern Kingdoms. Levels were dinged (and those that received them were called Dingalings), Achievements were achieved and a dwarf dressed as a [...]
Welcome to another edition of Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that won’t give up, will never back down, won’t retreat and won’t surrender. Arcane Brilliance has the heart of a champion, the eye of the tiger, the soul of a lion, the reflexes of a mongoose, and the gall bladder of an emu. Now, [...]
I was listening in on the Twisted Nether Blogcast and heard Nibuca mention that the new Spirit Bear image we reported earlier this week had been identified. Sure enough, I head over to the one place I knew would have the answer, Mania’s Arcania. Sure enough there it was, Mania had a long post giving [...]
If you’ve ever wanted a close-up look at the game’s healing zeitgeist, Miss Medicina has it — she recently started up a survey/meme of healers around the WoW blogosphere, and the answers are now in and posted on her site. They make for some interesting weekend reading, especially if you’re interested in healing and [...]
Happy Halloween, dear readers! Today’s the day, the spookiest day of the year! In the real world, prepare yourself to sit through hours and hours of random children in costumes ringing your doorbell begging for treats from strangers. In Azeroth, you only have two days left to finish your various Hallow’s End achievements, everything disappears [...]
Our podcast brings the usual tricks and treats this afternoon — before you head out in a costume to go get some real candy, be sure to stop by our Ustream page around 3:30pm Eastern and get some ear candy first. Turpster and I will welcome Eddie “Brigwyn” Carrington and another WoW.com writer to [...]
Ah, Halloween! The spookiest night of the year! When young children dress up as ghouls and goblins and are encouraged to go beg for candy from strangers, and adults dress up as all manner of horrifying things and beg for their car keys back after drinking ten Jagerbombs at a party. This screenshot of Frederrick [...]
Ah, Saturday! That pristine day of the week when one needn’t get up early for work, contend with rush hour traffic, or even crawl out of bed if you don’t feel like it. Of course, this Saturday also appears to be some kind of crazy, candy-worshiping holiday — which means you could have friends trying [...]
The new LFG system is certainly great, but there’s one problem with random PuGs that I’m sure it won’t fix, and that is of course the problem of ninjas. As long as random people are getting into groups (and with the new rewards system in place, there’ll be plenty of that), some of them will [...]
I have never been more excited about a boss in my life — especially from a healer perspective! I do believe this is the first time an encounter has been introduced where DPS doesn’t play a primary role in beating an encounter. The spotlight is on the healers! I’ll elaborate more after the break as [...]
