Reader comments – ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
I titled this week’s [1.Local] on Saturday, in a fit of frustration. At the time, it seemed more than appropriate: “BlizzCon ticket [...]
Resurgmal of Dread Pirates on Blackrock writes, “I was indulging in the old-time sport of climbing, along with some of the rest of the raid, in some down time previous to another Yogg attempt. (We finally downed him. YAY!) A Death Knight left this dramatic backdrop of pure evil, so naturally I had to grab [...]
Another Sunday arrives, and now it is almost June! This means less than a month until servers flood with children, Barrens chat takes on new life, and we’re all being asked for “golds” and dungeon runs. Savor the next couple of weeks.
Check out the latest from Cru and the one before that! After all, I [...]
This is a pretty old post, and it’s a question that’s been asked before, but it’s still an interesting one: what’s the hardest role in a raid? Ghostcrawler says he doesn’t find one of the three roles (tanking, healing, and DPS) to be “hands down harder” than the others, although he does call tanking and [...]
Ready Check is a twice-a-week column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, Vault of Archavon or Ulduar, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. Today, we step back a little and look at endgame in the context of sports.
Firstly, dedicated followers of this column (hi, Mum) [...]
Each week Arcane Brilliance saves the world, one Mage column at a time. Once, we did it by throwing the One Ring into a volcano. Oh, and this one time, we did it by slaying the evil Voldemort. And every once in awhile, we do it by traveling back in time and saving John Connor [...]
And we’re back to looking at Ulduar’s gear drops for shamans. This week, I figured it was long past time to look at the various non-set mail drops from the instance, since we’ve covered rings, shields, weapons and emblem of conquest purchases already. I’m sure we’ll need to take at least a couple of weeks [...]
During today’s BlizzCon ticket sales (which are now sold out, by the way), you were able to play the game Failoc-alypse. You take the form of a Terran Marine with a gun, a Draenei Death Knight, or a Witchdoctor. Your goal is to kill as many fail-locs as possible.
“Oops flag? You’re one dead Murloc!”
I recommend [...]

I haven’t been a big fan of the whole Alliance-centric direction of the Wildstorm World of Warcraft comics, and I picked up the whole Varian Wrynn saga mostly out of a completist impulse rather than actual concern for the story or its characters. I also thought Ludo Lullabi had better samples of art on his [...]
