An Update, In Pictures.

Four years after our fateful first meeting in Heroic Underbog, I finally married my co-guild leader and main tank. While our first choice for a wedding venue was the picturesque Nagrand, my mother-in-law's deathly fear of mage portals led us to compromise on Scottsdale, Arizona instead. My dad escorted me down the aisle, and — [...]

Hey, remember that warlock pet bug?

I think I was one of the first locks afflicted (before the patch, no less!), because when it happened to me, NO ONE knew what the fel I was talking about. I was hurt. I was confused. I was bewildered. So, naturally, I opened a ticket. (Click on the image to embiggen.) Best. GM. Ever. Game Master Scogonn — [...]

A long over-due and rather jumbled update

"So, Elle. What have you been up to in the five million years since you posted last?" By five million years, do you mean three days? "The last one doesn't count, and you know it." Fine. Whatever. Since you asked so nicely... "Are you using your sarcastic font?" Always. For the record, my sarcastic font is 10 point Verdana unless you're reading [...]

You know it’s time to end the blogging hiatus …

So.

You know how I said it could go either way? We could scramble to pull together a full raid, fail, and scatter like frightened field mice — each of us scurrying for parts and raids unknown? Or ... Or we could kill the Lich King. So. is a post from: Altadin

I don’t know why you say goodbye; I say hello.

I haven't been blogging because I've been focusing all of my WoW energy on my guild. Surreality is in a precarious place right now. We lost a few members to Real Life: finals, family commitments, schedule changes, sports, even wife aggro. We have a healthy Friends & Family rank and are filling [...]

Surreality: Uniting Geeks and Losers since 2007!

Surreality has a new tagline! /dance If you've been following me for any length of time, then you know I met my fiance in Heroic Underbog. (And yes, I am still tempted to name the head table at our wedding reception "Zangarmarsh" as a result!) However, our guild — and, more specifically, leading it — is what really brought [...]

The hamster has Tuesdays off, you see.

Festergut despawned, Rotface was nowhere to be seen, the Blood Princes refused to come out and play (<insert "It was a sunny day in Forks..." joke here>) and even Alextrasza's children weren't behaving. I don't know why we even bother to raid on patch days. The hamster has Tuesdays off, you see. is a post from: Altadin

Emo shaman is emo.

After all of the 10-man raid drama Surreality has experienced over the course of the expansion, we finally bit the bullet and split our achievement team into two groups — possibly three, depending upon how tonight's pick-up/alt run turns out. ... And when I say "we," I actually mean Annah, because he totally took charge of making two groups [...]
