Dead is Dead

My first trip to the Frozen Throne was back in March with my 10-man team. My second trip was in May, this time with my 25-man team. Both journeys ended not in defeat, but rather in retreat. For various reason both the 10-man and 25-man teams disbanded before defeating the Lich King. In fact both teams failed to put in more than one night's worth of work on him.



Fortunately I regrouped, and last week my new 10-man team entered Icecrown Citadel and proceeded to obliterate the place. Only Sindragosa and the Lich King gave us any sort of trouble, but in the end we were victorious. I can now visit the fountain in Dalaran and watch the video with a sense that I participated in making those events happen.

I still hope to go back and defeat Arthas in 25-man, but dead is dead and I'm happy to have my Kingslayer title. I'll be switching it back to Brewmaster soon though ;) .

The king is dead and I need a beer.

Happy Hunting!

The Hunting Party Podcast, Episode 8

This week on the Hunting Party Podcast, Euripides and I talk to Jurgwena, the PvP writer for OutDPS! If you are a PvE hunter and are looking into the idea of starting some PvP, this is the show for you. You will find that many of the questions we ask are from a perspective of complete cluelessness in regards to PvP. In fact, you could almost call us “PvEtards”.

We also talk about patch 3.2.2’s changes, including Onyxia.

Brewmaster Darkbrew

I'm not a big achievement guy, but there are a couple in the game that really speak to me, and this was one of them.  I started planning for this a year ago back when patch 3.0 was on the PTR.

By the way the clothing required for the Disturbing the Peace achievement functions the same way as badge gear, meaning once you buy it there is a a one hour period in which you can sell it back for a full refund.

As far as getting the Violet Protodrake goes, like I said, I'm not a big achievement guy.  Maybe next year ;)
