Hogger’s Noggenfogger?

Posted on March 31, 2008 - Filed Under Guest Posts, Silly | 5 Comments

If a Gnoll in search of augur found a skull inside his lager,
…would it be Hogger’s Noggenfogger?
And…
If Hogger had a boggan set atop his hairy noggin, as he augured in his lager called the Hogger Noggenfogger,
… would it be a boggan-noggined Hogger augur-lager Noggenfogger?
But…
If Hogger were a logger with a taste for Noggenfogger, with [...]

Why I hate Daily Quests

Posted on March 30, 2008 - Filed Under Other stuff | 4 Comments

(pardon me while I rant a bit. Regular, sane, well thought out Anna will return in 5 minutes)
Ok - you’re all probably looking at me funny right now. I know - dailies are how you make MONEY, you say. They funded my epic mount and now I have speedy birdy and [...]

Matticus posted the final chapter of his Five Barriers to Raid Healing - Healing Against Your Will.
It is both eloquent and excellent (as usual) - go read and learn! (The whole series is worth your time to read, I promise. Good stuff that. Also, he just helped me fix an addon problem [...]

Cielly: “So what are we going to do?”
Tarquin: “The same thing we do every night, Cielly. Try not to pull aggro and die.”

You have entered… The Twilight Zone…

Posted on March 28, 2008 - Filed Under Other stuff, Raiding | 4 Comments

So, Feathermoon has had some, er, stability issues since 2.4. Major stability issues. And not just the “omg combat log lag” that everyone is dealing with, or the Shattered Sun lag.
We gear up, gather up, enter SSC and head towards Hydross. Some oddities go on, but nothing particularly abnormal for 2 [...]

Group 2… no, Group 4! … no, Group 1!

Posted on March 27, 2008 - Filed Under Raiding, Shaman | 3 Comments

Posted on March 24, 2008 - Filed Under Hunter, Raiding | 2 Comments

Angoleth has been 70 for a little bit now, wearing AH greens and random quest rewards, and slowly plodding along working on her leatherworking skill. Sadly, trying to get a bunch of instance runs together for your (undergeared) huntard alt when you have two other characters already keyed for Karazhan proved to be rather [...]
