Early on in my stay in Shadowbane, my cousin and a few of our friends created a group of dwarves. Each dwarf was given a first name that rhymed with grumpy, but ended in "mpe". Stumpe, Lumpe, Drumpe, Grumpe, Mumpe, were just a few of the names that belonged to our dwarven group. For our last name, we chose Gibblesticks.

We were loved, and we were hated, but as I created my dwarf this time around I felt as if it would only be appropriate if I gave life to the Gibblesticks name once again.

Being a …

The incredibly fantastic and ridiculously innovative Rogue tactic contained herein is of the utmost awesomeness.  I've never seen it done before, ever, in the entire World of Warringcraft, and I've played enough WoW that my fingerceps are bigger than my biceps.  Suffice to say, I am now the Ultimate Rogue Hokage, and you'd be bowing already if you knew what was good for you.

 

Watch the quick vid which doubles as a trailer for a twos movie I'm working on, which is totally different …

So, I played Age of Conan beta for all of 25 mins. It was buggy, it ran like pure ass butter (The kind that happens after you eat 2lbs of cheese, and you push out a turd like your giving birth), so I uninstalled it and bashed it to ****.  The game was innovative and pretty sweet baring its ****ty bugs and graphics issues on a majority of every pc. However, I vowed to not play this flaming piece of monkey **** or to ever let its hideous hairy ass-lips touch my computers hard drive again.

So the tournament directors have reversed their previous decision and ARE allowing macros, proving that enough people *****ing about rules CAN actually change them. 3rd party mods are still disallowed, but hey who cares! And I'm flip-flopping and now saying its a good thing.

baaaah humbug

Anyone know if you can and where? website?

One month since the last OP-meter because I have been busy, and also didn't expect rankings to change much in that time. Yet they have, although it was very predictable.

Arena statistics are good, but it is hard to sum up the strength of a class from all the rankings, comps and what not. Here is a very simple way: the OP-meter. It is just an average of a class representation in 2200+ teams between 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5.

Since live WoW has been kind of stale with so many people in the Arena Tournament lately, I've been paying a lot more attention to the Gameriot blog competition. For a while it seemed like people who used Digg and wrote about diverse topics (Lipton) or people who actually had some journalistic talent (Roma) were the most likely to come out on top. Yet, more and more this week the blogs that appear to be most looked at are those that present nothing more than shock value.

I'm sure most people saw …

People always ask me: "Roma, how do you stay so slim and trim when you play WoW so much?"  Well, first off it takes a commitment at a minimum equal to what you put into the game.  You don't half ass in the arena, right? Well you can't half ass when it comes to taking care of your body either.  But the bottom line is we casuals lead busy lives, so inevitably we end up sacrificing playtime for time in the gym, or vice versa. But what if you could have both?



I hit upon combining …

Many of you probably already know of Viole, female irl. She has the unique and rare physical capability of licking her own elbow. This gives her a clear advantage in arena. Really though, think it's a coincidence her AP minus her haste rating is ~equal to her 2v2 rating? I don't. I know what's going on here. She makes it all clear in her drawings:










Can you make the patterns? Can you read the message?

So yesterday I reunited with an old friend (Used to run Shadowpriest Warlock on him, did extremely well with the comp) to play some 2's and recover some personal rating. After the point selling fiasco (Which I was only around for 1 week to pull off the amazing profit from) my teams rating was about 600 points above my personal rating.

So we made discipline priest SLSLwarlock, and off we went on our happy day of playing 2's. I quickly realized that there is a problem with this new "Arena balance s…

 

In my last post I mentioned how managers and captains in professional sports were commended when they made an astute tactical change or tried to adopt new strategies. However, currently in WoW arena there is no flexibility to do this. Soccer managers often bring on a new player during the course of the game if things are going badly to try and clinch victory. In arena you can only work with the players that you start off with. What if each team had one class in reserve that they could brin…

Last Epic Drop of the week, I hope you enjoy it.  We have bad movie reviews, oil news, and midgets doing back flips.  You cant... go wrong... with midgets!

Apparently M. Night Shyamalan's new movie with Marky Mark (- the funky bunch) sucks balls.  "The Happening" is apparently pretty bad, head over to Collider and read the scoop on this flick.

We are going to postpone shipments of oil to our reserves to help cut down on the cost of gas.  I bet this doesn't really do a damn thin…

Tourney realm developments

The latest updates on the tourney realm show a lot of big changes to numerous teams, with many of them avoiding competition altogether. Oh how it must feel to play in a balanced game when everyone refuses to risk a loss to a team they can't defeat because of team composition.

Armed with the significant advantages that shadowpriest/UAlock/resto shaman had in season 2 (namely no armor penetration), Mazud's team, from my understanding, is completely feared among all of the …
