I’ve recently read Graceling by Kristen Cashore . It has taken me a good inattentive couple of months, though really that was just the first third of the book. I finished the rest off in a couple of train days and it’s much more fun when read at the intended speed. It’s a good book, a [...]
So it’s been a couple of weeks and let me have a quick think of what’s happened. Well, I’ve been on an ICC 4/12 reaid with the munq’s, and great fun it was too. We wiped a couple of times, but not on the bosses. It was cheering to see the achievement spam when Saurfang [...]
Here’s my guide for ICC healing if you are a) very lucky and b) lazy and c) have a good group that are ready to carry you. Which pretty much sums up last weekends raid for me. Basic instructions: a) get out of stuff on the ground ( clouds, target marks, anything on the ground [...]
I’ve been doing some digging in the Armoury activity feeds for last weekends raid… and this is how many times the players in this group had previously successfully downed the bosses: Player Marrowgar Lady Deathwhisper Gunship Saurfang Rotface Festergut Valithria Dreamwalker Blood Council Blood Queen Lana’thiel D (Guild melee) 5 5 5 4 2 2 [...]
This weekend I pugged Icecrown. Actually, I thought I was pugging, but the reality was much more exciting. I was expecting a standard 3/4 boss raid before someone had had enough and left. How wrong I was! Although they were asking in /Trade for a healer with the first 4 boss achievement, as soon as [...]
Look! See! I’m smiling! Though it doesn’t really look like me. So we went to Vale of Belvoir this weekend to do a 30km pleasure ride on Casper. We might have gone for a fillup 40kml competative ride except I was worried that Cas wasn’t quite fit enough for that distance, and he had been [...]
I can’t remember if I’ve said already but I’m back in the Munqui Tribe so don’t get confused. There were two raids scheduled this week, one to do the weekly raid and one to try Onyxia. The weekly raid eventually got started an hour late, now I’m used to it taking us half an hour [...]
I know I’ve been awful quiet on the WoW front lately, I know you don’t miss my little updates, but still here’s a little summary. 1. I’ve gone back to the Munquis. This is not a comment on the Bad Apples, definitely a case of “it’s not you, it’s me”. The bottom line… I wasn’t signing [...]
Upgrading to 64bit Windows 7. I tried to upgrade to 64 bit Windows 7 (taking a backup using the bundled Samsung Recovery Solution first). It didn’t go so bad, there was a difficult period getting the network reconnected because I hadn’t already downloaded the appropriate driver, and couldn’t download it because….. I didn’t have the [...]
Last week I got hold of a new laptop, a Samsung R780. Something of a splash out for me since my old laptop was only 3 years old and probably still good for another year. I would have preferred the smaller model (R580) but it wasn’t available with the same kind of spec. There are [...]
