475Mb of patch 3.3 in fact. Seems we’re close. Which is good. Because frankly, I’ve been getting very bored with World of Warcraft. Now I have a reason to push on for those last few bits of gear, that last mount. Might even PuG some raids in the absence of my Guild mates. Oh Arthas…I’m [...]

COOKIES! Google does it again with class homepage

Without doubt the best Google.co.uk homepage I’ve ever seen! Celebrating, I believe, Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary. Yesterday the Google.com homepage had Big Bird’s legs in the Google Doodle. Class.

 
ALTernative Universe

The thing that makes World of Warcraft so enduring – playability, diversity and sheer size aside – is the ability to have more than one character. We all, I would think, have what we consider our mains. In my case, it is, of course, my Undead Warlock, Inoperante. He is my raiding and achievement toon [...]

 

I wasn’t there…but I’m proud of my premier raiding team.

 
Vent: Your frustration

Well, maybe not your frustration…but mine. Last night I tanked Trial of the Crusade (10-man) for the first time on my warrior. It really brought home the importance of Ventrilo (or Teamspeak if that is your thing). We began with me and a new-ish Paladin tank and it did not go well. Why? Well, our [...]

 

Getting this title has been an ambition for a while. Trying to do it the ‘traditional’ way always proved impossible. So why not just walk in, clear trash and then nuke Sartharion down, using only one tank, one healer and eight DPS? ZERG! It works, try it…

 
Flickroom: Browse Flickr from your desktop

One of the most exciting Flickr developments in recent times, the Flickroom application allows desktop browsing of Flickr using the Adobe Air platform. But this isn’t just another way of viewing Flickr…no, this is to Flickr what Tweetdeck is to Twitter. And its dark, neutral and pleasing appearance is very reminiscent of the Twitter desktop [...]

 

And thanks to our dead mage, we have a video!

That Apple news in full

As is traditional at this time of year, Apple held a media event to launch… No…not The Beatles finally available on iTunes. Instead it was… …the return of Steve Jobs on stage. Very nice to see and despite looking very gaunt after his recent medical troubles it should bring confidence that he is back at [...]

Apple announces...

…what? Is it: The Beatles on iTunes (Yoko says so…)? iPod Touch to get camera / video? iTunes 9 (with Facebook and Twitter integration)? Next iPhone OS? Apple Tablet (this looks really cool…)? It’s underwhelming is what it is. Nevertheless, I shall report back soon. But basically it’s iTunes 9 with a few nice but [...]

 
Old Azeroth Project

You may have seen a post from last week regarding @alachia‘s Old Azeroth Flickr project. Well, I’ve been at it again, running around collecting screenshots and posting them up so we can preserve the sights of Azeroth before Deathwing destroys them all. Here’s a selection: Check out the rest of the shots in the group [...]

CATACLYSM: Save Old Azeroth now before it's too late!

As you should know by now…I mean really, you should…Azeroth is soon to be changed forever with the ‘rebirth’ of Deathwing causing the Cataclysm. It would be remiss of us ‘old schoolers’  if we let the current continents fade into memory. It is now everyone’s job to preserve Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms as they are [...]
