Everybody hail to the pumpkin song

Time for an update :)Quite busy at work, so not much time to update this stuff :) anyway, what's been up lately.

Well for starters, Vintage conquered ToC 10 and has been wiping in ToC 10 hardmode since :) Besides that we made some progress in Ulduar aswell, and we'll hopefully be able to smash Yogg's brain very soon. Looks like Vintage will have at least normal 10 man mode cleared on everything before Icecorwn Citadel hits in patch 3.3

Personally I have taken some time off rep grinding (only 3 more factions to go)to do the hallow's eve achievements. Nearly done, although the hallowed helm still elludes me. But I'll get it :) No stupid pumpkin is going to prevent me from riding that ugly violet proto drake in februari. Just have to do a whole lot of trick or treating...

New addiction

I've got another one. A new addiction. I would never have thought I'd get addicted to this, but here I am.

WoW Podcasts.

Yes. A bunch of geeks who do nothing but talk WoW for an hour or two. Love it! There's a couple I have been listening to a lot lately and a couple that I have only listened to for a couple of shows, but here's a short list of links if you're interested.
- The Instance. One of my absolute favourite podcasts. These two guys are hilariously funny to listen to and (usually) have interesting discussions. Oh, and Quickfire Questions.
- The WoW Insider Show, the podcast from Wow.com. Funny banter. Good and useful topics. Witty discussions. Turpster. Need I say more? Go listen.
- The Rawrcast Podcast is less serious and can get a bit annoying if you don't like listening to women who snort when they laugh. (this happens so often that they turned it into a drinking game. She snorts, everybody has to drink.) It also is much fun to listen to if you do see the fun in this.
- Raid Warning. Let's put it this way. One of the items in their show is called 'Beer of the Week'. Much like Rawrcastshow, minus the snorting woman.

So. There you go. If this little list is not enough for you, go check out Azeroth United because they are gathering a list of podcasts. Have fun.

Pvp? Who, me?

I've gone through some changes since I last wrote here. Tecrin, in particular. (Mooh has been neglected a bit, sorry Mooh) Tecrin is now the proud owner of:
- a pvpspec
- a pvpset
- almost 3500 honorable kills
- an owner (/wave) who suffers from lack of sleep thanks to latenight pvp sessions with a certain Pally (and a certain fellow guildie)

Yep. Pvp. Me. I have to admit, I really hated it, I loathed always being the first to get ganked by at least 5 Alliance simply because I was a rogue. (I tried explaining to them that we're not all that bad and we're not all trying to stab them from behind when they were not looking but they didn't buy it) Wintergrasp was hell for me, and I only did it because, well, it had to be done when you want to do VoA, right? But GOD, the LAG! It was TERRIBLE! And I'd end up dead on the floor before I knew what had happened because, well, LAG!
But now...
I spent a lot of my unused Badgers of Conquest on the PVP-set sold in Dalaran. And I've dualspecced. I now have an assassination spec based on mutilate (41-5-25 if that means anything to you) and I LOVE IT! My significant pally is very happy about that as well, because he saw the pvp-light a little sooner than me. Now we're enjoying ourselves, joining battlegrounds with the two of us and working together as much as possible, kicking more and more ass as I get more used to the spec.

I'm not saying I'm switching to PVP permanently, hell no, I love my raids too much, but I'm so excited I finally found yet another thing to amuse myself with!


Oh, and on another note, we also decided that we can try and two-man the heroic Outland dungeons for the Outland Dungeon Hero achievement. So far, so good, we've done a couple, it's easier than expected once a certain pally turns on his Righteous Fury when he's tanking..
