Tooth & Arrows: Glitches Galore AND Trolled?!
We’ve been raiding fairly regularly now for the last couple of months. Since the first time we downed Deathwing, we’ve completed the raid every week, once. Until this last week. We had quite a bit of difficulty with the second half of the raid – a couple of wipes on Ultraxion, so many wipes on Warmaster Blackhorn that we decided to call the raid for the first day there without finishing it.

To someone who fancies themselves a professional writer, there’s nothing worse than writer’s block. Except perhaps total creativity block – which I struggled with for some time. Now, though, it seems to be flat writer’s block. I have ideas, I have things I want to do, but when I sit down to write them the words just don’t flow. It’s almost worse when the words DO flow, only for me to get interrupted by one thing or another. Annoying things like eating, and going to the bathroom, little biological necessities like drinking water and making sure I’m not passing out at the keyboard. It’s so inconvenient to be a living being, sometimes. But in all honesty, more often than not the distractions are my own issue. I need...
