http://altadin.com Undergoing a slight crisis of identity ... and taking it all the way to Icecrown. Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:46:12 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://altadin.com/2010/02/17/surreality-uniting-geeks-and-losers-since-2007/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed I've been far too busy with work to keep up with blogging (Next to "April 15th" and "Third Party Audit," "Year End Close" are the three scariest words in any accountant's vocabularly!), but Surreality is still going strong ... and still recruiting!   The last time I posted, we were just looking ... http://altadin.com/2010/02/16/surreality-is-still-recruiting/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed To quote my most favoritest rogue ever: Fucking finally.   http://altadin.com/2010/02/04/finally-2/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed 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. http://altadin.com/2010/02/03/the-hamster-has-tuesdays-off-you-see/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed So, there's this warlock on my server who is fairly well known and widely disliked.  Even people who don't know who he is know who he is; his notoriety preceeds him. Case in point: one of our rogues run a 25-man VoA PuG with him a month or two ago and reported that ... http://altadin.com/2010/02/02/what-would-you-do/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed 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 ... http://altadin.com/2010/02/01/emo-shaman-is-emo/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed I should be writing an epic blogpost about our eleventh hour triumph over Professor Putricide.   It was set up so perfectly: One unsuccessful attempt remaining before retreat?  Check. Trash respawns 15 minutes before the raid was scheduled to end?  Check. Twenty-five players eager to press on anyway?   Check.  (And much <3 to you for that, Surreality!) All ... http://altadin.com/2010/01/29/the-post-that-wasnt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed Since the best tree evar came to us via the nebulous "blogosphere," I thought I'd throw this out there as well: Surreality is recruiting a warlock for a core raid spot!   (Believe it or not, Demonology is preferred.)  The Superforsaken Azargoth took a temporarily leave of absence a few weeks ago, ostensibly to ... http://altadin.com/2010/01/27/lf1m/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed A certain shaman-turned-hunter of my acquaintance recently posted in defense of about his eye-bleedingly horrible UI.  I'd love to respond by sharing my custom UI, but can't...  because the aforemention shaman-turned-hunter might realize I wasn't lying when I said I didn't display pet frames on Grid. Take that, Charles! http://altadin.com/2010/01/22/this-is-not-a-ui-post/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed You want to see the new content?  Okay.  Fine.  Kill Putricide first — and then we'll wander over to the Crimson Hall and take a look around.  ;) They (I was late, arguably, due to my fellow Arizonans' collective inability to drive in the rain without committing mass suicide) got Putricide into Phase 3 ... http://altadin.com/2010/01/20/im-holding-my-raid-hostage/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed
