 Hello everyone! Most of you have probably been following Matticus’s “So You Think You Can Blog” contest. I’ve been lucky enough to have been chosen for the spot, and I’d just like to say how thrilled I am to be joining the staff of this fine publication. Writing is my passion, and I am intrigued by … [Read more of this article]
Salutations, well-wishes, and thank-yous
I’ve Chosen the Third Blogger
Sydera is the third blogger! She’ll be co-blogging alongside Wyn and myself from here on out. Unlike Wyn and I, she is not a Priest and will be blogging from the perspective of a… tree. So let’s all extend a welcome branch to Syd (I can hear the groans over the pun already)! I’m sure … [Read more of this article]
Week 3 – Critiques by Matt and a Speci...
This is it. This is the final week. After this, SYTYCB will end. Despite how brilliant everyone’s been, I only have room at the moment for one additional writer. Who will it be? In addition to the critiques from Wyn and I, there will be a special guest judge adding their 2 cents. The guest … [Read more of this article]
Death and the Priest
This week, we were given the option of a freestyle post. I’m sticking with that, though I am using one of the topics presented in the competition to do it. Matt, I’m sorry but I totally disagree with you when you advocate letting your dark side out and forcing a wipe. So Who Calls It? … [Read more of this article]

The Utility of Utility
I consider myself to be an okay tank healer, but an excellent raid healer. I love Circle of Healing, and when you catch me off-guard enough to admit it, I’ll say my favorite spells are the ones I can cast while pounding my spacebar and hopping around. Yes, I am “that type†of raider. I … [Read more of this article]
Troubleshooting Gurtogg Bloodboil: A Healer&...
In my mind, Gurtogg Bloodboil is the toughest boss to heal in Black Temple. Many guilds stagnate at 4/9 in BT, and others continue to have difficulties with Bloodboil long after their first kill. From my own personal experience, nothing turns a happy tree into a miserable pile of mulch faster than an untimely Fel … [Read more of this article]
SYTYCB: Week 2 Cuts
I wish I could keep everyone. The standard this week has improved so much that it’s becoming more difficult to choose. I knew it would be hard, but I didn’t anticipate it would be this hard. Every blogger (yes, you are now all bloggers) deserves their own blog. Reading and editing these posts has shown … [Read more of this article]
SYTYCB: Matt & Wyn’s Critique ...
First of all, I have to make a confession. I don’t watch So You Think You Can Dance. I’ve only ever watched one episode. So I’m going to compare myself to Paula Abdul. From that other talent show. No, not because I’ve quite possibly addled my brains past the point of coherence, but because of … [Read more of this article]
10 Reasons Horde is Better
This is Joveta’s Week 2 Submission I’m sorry (no, not really), but it’s true. Alliance, you’ve got a lot of nifty things, but when it comes down to it, Horde has you beat hands-down. Ogre Loin Cloths You just wish you had a quest that let you dig up a Ripped Ogre … [Read more of this article]
