Tooth & Arrows: Dungeoning In Your Sleep

I’ve heard many WoW gamers say things along the lines of, “That dungeon? I could run that in my sleep.” But, while I’ve dozed off many times while playing WoW (the problem with it being the end of my day thing to do – I doze while mining in Uldum quite a lot), I’ve never actually PLAYED the game in my sleep. Continuing to fly in a straight line and ending up in Tanaris when I was trying to mine the Uldum border is a completely different thing than actively playing the game while I sleep. I’d also like to point out that I do not play any healers – I tank (Death Knight, Bear, Warrior, and Pally), and I DPS (Hunter, Cat, Rogue, ect.), but while I’ve played classes that can heal (Pally and druid, respectfully), I’ve...

These Ancient Eyes: Personal Assistant

I have a personal assistant. It isn’t a person, and I don’t pay it (personally), but without it I have proven time and time again that my less-than-stellar memory will cause me to be unaccountably less productive.

Then, at 8:05 on the dot, my personal assistant said, “beep?” I looked at it, wondering if perhaps it...

These Ancient Eyes: Blog + Updates = Issues

So there hasn’t been a post from me in a very, very long time. Yeah, I’m aware of this. This is partially due to the fact that thanks to a wordpress update, I can’t seem to get into my site through anything other than the android mobile app on my phone. This has made posting and cross-posting blogs a bit difficult and it wasn’t until today and some help from Nyx Goldstone that I finally realized I could pull it off. It just takes a bit more potchkeying than I’m used to. Anyway! On to the actual update! A couple of posts back, I blogged a request for donations to help me get my art back up and underway. As of yesterday, this has finally paid off as I got together enough money to get my software and hardware and am now the proud owner...
