http://www.whirly.org My online gaming experience plus other stuff Sat, 30 Aug 2008 12:03:22 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Back to Mana Tombs to see just how far we can go. We can go exactly as far as the second boss Tavarok, big guy he. We tried him cold, with no pre-knowledge. He spanked us so hard we decided there was no need to try him again. What should ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-this-here-is-fun/ Ha! Pandemonius went from impossible to farm status all of a sudden. We returned to his home, Mana Tomb, to see if our first Pande' kill was a fluke. Nope. We own him now, the punk. Still a long fight, but certainly doable. I picked up a new wand. We cleared ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-we-did-it-our-way/ What an odd evening. We started in Escape from Durnholde Keep. Those groups of four are still giving us hell. After a few deaths, we lost momentum and Mark suggested Mana Tombs. Our bad luck continued with more deaths. We painfully progressed until, clearing the first room, there was nothing ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-we-can-do-this/ We beat Ghaz'an down to 8% before the last of us (me) died. We tried him again, but Mark had used his Warrior's specials on the first attempt. We didn't do as well. Maybe we can take him next level, or this, if we get a little lucky. Underbog is our ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-this-close/ Hot damn! We hit an unexpected wall in Blood Furnace. We got past The Maker easy enough. The next boss, Broggok, done. We'd never tried the boss, Keli'dan the Breaker, before and had no idea what to expect. He was nothing special and went down easy. Then, well, nothing. We ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-now-what/ Level 68 is working out well for us. We each received something new that is fun or interesting. Mark's Warrior - Commanding Shout; adds an extra 1080 hp to everybody for two minutes. Mike's Mage - Invisibility; reduces his threat and is a good way for him to survive ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-its-a-hard-luck-life-for-us/ Another night in Underbog. Everyone was in good cheer. I found a web site with a list of popular harmonica songs. We spent a while, fighting our way to Hungarfen, trying to remember the tunes that went with the song names. Hungarfen's two guards took us down twice, we'd not ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-shell-be-comin-round-the-mountain/ We discovered how much is too much WoW. It's exactly three times in four days. We played our regularly scheduled Friday, a pickup day on Saturday and again Monday night. Everybody was getting a bit snippy, in a friendly way. We had nothing to talk about. How could we when ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-the-vet-tells-the-guy-im-sorry-your-hamster-is-dead/ We've had a couple very productive sessions. Friday we entered Underbog expecting to end at Hungarfen as usual. Not so. The fight went very smoothly - surprisingly easy. He dropped leather, of course. It's hard to believe we had trouble with him before. I think we could farm him if ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-and-then-there-was-fun/ We dinged 67 in WoW Monday, Slave Pens. I can almost smell 70. It feels like we should be pushing forward towards that goal. But once we hit 70 what? They say the new expansion will come out in November. We don't want to be in the first wave of ... http://www.whirly.org/wow-ding-whatever/
