I was going to post a comment in this regard to another blog, but I thought that might be creating more drama than it’s worth. I love comments on my blog, even if I don’t agree with them (or if the commenter doesn’t agree with me). It means I’m being read, and what I had…

If You Are “CoH-Spec” You Are Playing the Wrong Class
/rant on I was just reading a thread at PlusHeal, and a term used there (which term I have seen a lot more than once, and not just at PlusHeal, trust me!) just set my teeth on edge, and prompted me to use WordPress’s "QuickPress" feature.1 The term, as you no doubt have guessed from…
DwarfPriest Lights a Candle in the Darkness: Accessibility for Disabled Gamers
Earlier this week, I opined WoW blogging is moving into the realm of "mainstream." To be perfectly honest, I’m not certain there is a "mainstream" in blogging. Yet. But if there is, I think the common thread of what has become an increasingly significant element of the "social Internet" and social media, is a concern…
This is the post I really didn’t want to write.
It seems there is a sickness invading the blogging world of Warcraft. It’s the same sickness we’ve been fighting since about the second week of retail release: Gold sellers and solicitors. Several bloggers have brought it up before me, but two of the most prominent are Matticus and Big Bear Butt. Feel free to follow…
Call to Arms
I am shamelessly stealing the title of this post from Kirk’s post at Priestly Endeavors, in response to Breana’s article, "Compromised," at Gun Lovin’ Dwarf Chick. I urge you to read Breana’s article, then Kirk’s. You don’t even have to come back here afterwards, if you don’t want to. But in case you don’t follow…
Now I’m Really Ticked
Not at WoW, but at our stoopid corporate firewall. I can understand why worldofwarcraft.com and wowhead.com (among others) might be blocked, but to block Phaelia and Amanna (Mania‘s been blocked forever ) makes no sense. WHY? And why NOW? (This just happened in the last few days, AFAIK.) At first, I thought maybe wordpress.com addresses…
Slashdot: “The Zen of Online Game Design”
Some of you may be aware the annual Austin (TX) Game Designers Conference was held this week. Slashdot reports on a talk given on Thursday entitled “The Zen of Online Game Design.” The speaker was well-known designer and developer Damion Schubert. From the article: Damion Schubert is currently working at Bioware [Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars:…
On Mods and Macros
What follows is a rant: You have been warned. I’m an add-on addict (guess that means I have an addiction?). Ever since I discovered the joys of Decal for Asheron’s Call, I’ve striven to have the most useful user interface (UI) I can get, within the terms of service. In other words, I don’t cheat….
