Star Wars : Empire At War

I like real-time strategy games, I like empire building games, and I like Star Wars, so it seemed worthwhile to pick up a copy of this game. I haven't had much time to play it yet, but the very first mission for the Empire features Darth Vader as one of your units. Picture a Jim Raynor from Starcraft except make him completely and utterly invincible and allow him to one shot most things, and that's Vader.

Not too surprising, you know, considering he's DARTH VADER, but it kinda takes a bit of the challenge away. Of course, it is the first mission so the challenge is really "Can you click on your units, move them in the general vicinity of the enemies, and maybe click attack?"

The downside is I haven't lost Vader yet, and he's still as dominating now. Not exactly invincible but he's easy enough to heal.

What a lady... What a night!

Sunday night I finally got my chance to tank Onyxia. We wiped once while I re-learned a painful lesson about how hard it is to get aggro on a taunt-immune mob when you have no rage. With that information in hand we went back in for a second try which went much smoother. Of course, none of this would have been possible without all my amazing guildies in Incarnation who kept me healed and fear warded and who, you know, actually killed the evil lady.

Once it was clear we were going to win (around 5% or so) I threw down my Unfired Ancient Blade and it took care of itself. A quick jaunt into the Dire Maul library and I finally had my twinky sword.

Above is a picture of my sword, axe, and amazing hair do. Also, a picture me and the Quel'Serrar in the rest of my normal tanking gear. It is the sweetest looking weapon around. Also, try not to step on my head when you walk by, you'll REALLY cut your foot.

Go Canada!

I've been spending a lot of time watching the Olympics lately, and just wanted to cheer on our athletes, especially the curlers and hockey players.

What's up with quest chains?

If I had any readers at all they might be wondering why I posted quest chains for low level horde instances. Well, I have started a troll shaman on the Balnazzar server. The goal is to run instances with people I know the whole way up, in this case 2 of my current roommates and 2 of my former roommates. The plan so far is to play every Thursday night, so we're not exactly leveling fast, but it's good fun.

Why only Thursday night? Well, I've recently joined a raiding guild on my main server, Zul'Jin. And I get to main tank a good chunk of the time! And we raid pretty much every night but Thursday. We've done Lucifron to Majordomo Exectus in one night. We've killed the first 3 bosses of AQ20. They'd killed Hakkar before I joined, but Zul'Gurub hasn't been a focus of raids since Ahn'Qiraj was released and Molten Core became farmable.

Thursday is also one of the few nights Pounder doesn't raid on Kilrogg. I'm pretty sure Tom raids every night with his guild on Zul'jin but that hasn't stopped him from playing his druid with us either.

Raiding is kinda like a full time job... But at least it's fun. And brings fat purple lootses with it.
