A big part of my hiatus from writing (at least on Gameriot and related sites) has been due to my hiatus from WoW. It's nice to write about other topics, but if you're going to bother writing for a gaming audience then you better have some gaming things to write about as well. I'm happy to report that I'm back in the game full-swing.
WoW
I'm playing WoW seriously for the first time in over a year. I'm currently playing Rogue, Warrior, and Druid in arenas, and re-learning Shadow Priest. I feel like I'm starting to catch up and play at or above the level I used to on all of these classes, and I'm having a great time in arenas. I'm playing with two incredible Vengeful Gladiators, and there's a very good chance that we'll be looking to get sponsored and attend events once we get rolling. I'll be more detailed about where I'm playing and who I'm playing with once we've figured out the teams we're using seriously.
Isolee, HL, and I played Rogue/Rogue/Druid for a couple nights on the TR and got to about 1740 (I believe it was the highest rated RRD in the second phase of TR2 at the time, could be wrong) before getting frustrated with the limitations of the comp. Despite the performance of SK-Gaming at MLG San Diego, RRD should simply NEVER lose to teams like Resto Shaman/Druid/Warrior, and these type of comps are out of control on the tournament realm. It didn't help that we never played RRD enough to really get on the same page in terms of strategy, but it was still an interesting couple of nights. We probably could have pushed RRD higher eventually but it just wasn't enjoyable for anyone.
I'm out of town for the next 3-4 days, but we're already working on another team that looks much more promising so far. I expect we'll probably end up doing better things on live due to the time limit on TR (TR doesn't give us much time to compete on synergy with teams who have played together for months), but I think our new setup is certainly capable of making top four if we put in the time.
Anyway, I'll start working on another video ASAP to (hopefully) prove that I'm not a total has-been. Expect to see footage from at least three different classes.
Porn (lol)
My second interview with Winter Sky has been done for a while, but she's a little reluctant to post it due to the response that she got last time.
(9:38:49 PM) Winter: its just bull****
(9:38:54 PM) Winter: im just there to chat
(9:39:01 PM) Winter: people dont realise that im just a person too
(9:39:05 PM) Me: yeah
(9:39:06 PM) Winter: or maybe some of them do
Obviously I responded by saying:

Actually I can see where she's coming from, and after I explained that her experience is really no different from anyone else who presents themselves on Gameriot, she agreed to let me post the interview. Still not sure if I'll bother, we'll see.
Have a good weekend everyone. I'm spending the fourth at my gf's cabin so I won't be around to respond to anything on here.
Happy Independence Day etc., etc.

I would like to see the next interview... also please mix in some candid shots of Winter Sky in RL talking to you, like we might see in a typical magazine interview.

What magazine has play-by-play pictures of interviews? lol
Only ones I can think of show the text, and modeling pictures of the interviewee

Well not play by play, but they set up a photo shoot for the person being interviewed, rather than using photos from other publications. I'm saying Dahis should get some of his own photos candid-style rather than just grabbing stuff from google images or whatever.

And if that is her (I think it is) ... how can you not giggle every time you see her after you have perused pics like this?

Unless she is just an e-Friend? You don't seem to have any pics proving otherwise.

I think you mistook his GF for your dad. Or was that intentional? Probably was, phaggot.

I'd much rather read about winter than hafu. At least she has reasonably witty answers.

Looking forward to a video from an old school player, interested in seeing what you do as far as editing and chosen content. Hopefully it will have some pvp scenes outside of arena.

me buddhist and lewt got to 1800 on TR2 a week or two after it came out (I think it was the weekend of or after mlg san diego). the combo is a complete joke and should never lose to a team without a paladin except for warrior rogue druid. idk what your strat was, but with 30 seconds of evasion you just ream the druid and the shaman can't keep him up while also stopping cc on the warrior, and he just flops.
that being said, rogue rogue druid is the least satisfying comp in wow to win a game with and has got to be the most scrub friendly tunnel vision setup around. I don't know why anyone would want to play it, or how anyone who runs it can in good conscience. oh well, I guess some people really need the money (maybe cyberpsycho is saving up for fat camp this summer)
