You're Still Here?!


Over 500,000 page views since I stopped writing?! Still clicking in at over 300 page views a day?!

Wow! The content is like 2-3 years old!

Clearly folks are still finding value here. It's enough to make an author curious about returning. ;)

Stay well, y'all.

A Genuine Thank You, a Heavy-Hearted Farewell and a Call To Arms


Ok, as much as I would LOVE to just /vanish a' la Kaiser Soze, and leave a bunch of clues, I know I can't do that! And though I'm known for my long-winded monologues, I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet.

If you're reading this, please know that I thank you. I thank you for supporting me in this experience of a blog, for rallying behind these storylines I have created and for believing in my passions. Without you, I wouldn't have stayed as long as I have.

2H Maces: Vanilla Outbreak!

Hiya folks! This is going to be my first, genuine attempt at brevity in these articles. I'm banking on that what my readers value are the charts, links and information provided here and not necessarily my lengthy commentary. If you want my commentary, take it into the comments and I'll be happy to deluge you with my thoughts! Read on, faithful traveler, and enjoy my review of Two Handed Maces for transmogrification!

Oodles to Ogle: New MoP PvP Weapons & More!

A number of models were revealed with the latest Mists of Pandaria Beta build, as well as the textures from the majority of what are likely the new PvP weapons. As always, anything goes since these files are from the Beta, and all images below are subject to change. Case in point, the very last item on the list below has been removed from the game files since I posted it previously. Bummer, too because it was a cool looking staff with an Alliance and Horde version.

Enjoy!

New MoP Beta Weapon Models: Updated 4/25/12

With each build more is revealed about the art style for weaponry in Mists of Pandaria! A significant number of models (PvP, Mantid) remain only in silhouette but some new looks squeaked through! And check out thatnew bzzzzt-bop nightlight 1H Axe!

As always, this is the beta so anything can stay or go. But it's great to see some designs, nonetheless!

Character: Intrigue
Race: Draenei
Class: Shaman
GenderFemale
Location: Earthen Ring (US)
Prize Earned36,000g
What You Should Know: A Resto Shaman, Intrigue required over four months to assemble a look that would visually capture the spirit of the element of water using mail armor. So in essence, this is Intrigue's submission of how armor could look in the future if Blizzard were to develop not only class-specific armor but specialization-specific armor for each class as well. A fascinating prospect. Read on to catch the interview with Intrigue and more on this incredibly unique look!
