Home Again, Home Again…
Image from Bytelove Jiggity jig. The Elephant and I are back home. Home to our own bed. Home to our pets babies. Home to an internet connection that will let us both play WoW at the same time, and let me stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time. The downside: Away from my family and friends again. But, at least it was awesome to see the lot of them. It made me really happy to spend time with the people I care about. So, now that I’ve steady internet connection, expect my Evil Boss post (uber late. D:), my Cataclysm Impressions post, and Real Life vs.…

Computer Fail
So, just a heads up that my computer failed me a few days ago, and I’ve been computer-less for a few days. I finally purchased a new laptop today and am working on loading everything, and digging up my half-finished entry for LAST week’s BA:ST. Still working on downloading WoW and such on the new computer and probably won’t play any Cataclysm seriously until after the weekend. The Elephant and I are visiting my family, and want to spend some serious time with them. So don’t expect THIS week’s BA:ST until Monday-ish. 🙁 I wish I wasn’t so behind! But, what can you do when your Technology gives you the finger?

Cataclysm: Five Man Entrances
I’m working on the BA:ST, I swear. It’s just going to be late, because my last (and most important) final is Monday. But! In the meantime, I thought I’d share a video that’s going to become very important come Tuesday. In Cataclysm, if you don’t know where the dungeon entrance is (read: have discovered it with the whole “Discovered [Dungeon Name] Entrance.“), you can’t queue for it. I’ve been a fan of Totalbiscuit only for a short time, but he has some great information, and his podcast is one of my favorites. Well, in Beta, he made a pretty nifty video about how to get to your dungeon entrances. So…

Update II: Pre-Cata Plans
Or, “What we got done before The Shattering changed Achievements” Just a quick little check off list to the Elephant’s and my original list, and first update on the list. What We Checked Off: Both weapon achievements: Knuckle Sandwhich and Four Types. They’re now feats of strength. All of the critter achievements. There’s now a new one… which I am diligently making a list for. Maybe I’ll even post the list when I’m done with it. The book achievement. Though, with the little exploration we’ve done, it looks like most books are generally in the same vicinity as they were before the Shattering. Loremaster of both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.…

Happy Thanksgiving!
From Wowhead I just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all in the United States that celebrate it. Also, a Happy Boxing Day to those in Canada, and just a general good weekend to everybody. The holidays are upon us. As is Cataclysm. Enjoy them both! (Yes, I know this is posted early, but I probably won’t be at my computer tomorrow, and I hit “Publish” before I checked my “Post Options”. :P)

Shade of the Elm, the Kingslayers
About twenty wipes over three hours. That’s what Saturday night looked like. Aggravating for some (lots of wiping always is), and exciting for others. We almost had him. The valks just kept killing us. We called it a night at our normal time. We started early on Sunday, in case we were going to have a repeat of Saturday. All of us stoked. Somehow knowing it was going to be the night. And it was the night! After about six months of Shade of the Elm grinding out ICC, we down Arthas for the first time. Vent was a riot. It was exhilarating. The title finally felt official, even though the…

BA Shared Topic: Autoblogography!
I joined Blog Azeroth recently and have been enjoying my time in the community so far, even if I am more of a lurker than anything… at the moment, anyway. This week, Ophelie of Bossy Pally asked that we write an Autoblogography. What pushed you to start blogging? What challenges have you faced? What are your favorite posts and why? What are the stories behind them? How has blogging affected your gaming? … If you’re a new blogger, you can write about your experience so far, about what you hope for the future. As much as I would love to write about the first few ideas (and I think it…

Pretty Much Finished
It’s been a busy weekend with my Blogs, updating layouts, getting posts set up for my other one, and trying to (finally) finish the layout for this so that I can submit it to the Chopping Block over at BA. Eep! The damn peons fell asleep so I have to do all of this on my own. The last bit on my list is as follows: Make a Twitter for the Blog Link the Twitter, hah Shots of my toons Contact page Blogroll! Figure out how the heck to put in that little blogger share bar link thingie (help is much appreciated!) I figured it out, thanks to a post over…

Layout Revamp
Been putting the peons to work for me! Just a quickie to pimp my new layout! Slowly but surely it’s getting there. Browsing some of the blogs over at Blog Azeroth (which I signed up for, and am very excited to post my first Shared Topic!) made me realize that I really needed an update. I knew I did, but it just kinda bumped me into doing it. So I did! I also picked something that is easy enough to go into the template and color change based on when I get sick and tired of the layout, hah. Proud of it so far, even if it’s not exactly where…

Chestnut the Kingslayer
I still can’t wrap my head around it. Nope, I can’t. After being a hardcore raider and finally getting burnt out, and then moving to a server to just enjoy the game and all its aspects (read: Achievements!!!!), I never thought I’d get it. Nope. Not me. Sure, I’ve been raid leading an ICC10 Saturday/Sunday with the guild, and the weekly, and some older stuff like AQ40, and helping to heal the second ICC10 Tuesday/Thursday group for the guild… but I never thought I’d get it. We’ve seen Arthas as a guild. Yup, casual little ol’ Shade of the Elm has gotten their paws on Arthas. We just had two…
