It's been two years (wow, two years?) of great accomplishments, bittersweet farewells, glorious conquests, and soul-crushing defeats. I've had the pleasure of raiding another expansion with a truly great group of folks, once again, both in ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=498 With some hasty vile spirit killing we checked off one of our final goals of the expansion: Closing out with all the Glory achievements but the Naxxaramas version (oh...Immortal...) and leaving only the Heroic version of the Lich King left on our plate. An Alliance First and Server Third to ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=497 It doesn't get any easier hearing [noted lifetime smoker] Sindragosa berate your raid as you attempt to bring her down each week. After hearing it so many times, you start to imagine what it would sound like if she was voice-acted by Billy Mays. Things are crazy these days. With the ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=496 I'm getting to this post exactly one week late but better late than never, right? The expansion is really starting to wind down as whispers of alpha and beta (frankly, I'm holding out for the Charlie testing) start to come out. Ruby Sanctum is also right around the corner, but there's ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=495 With the 50th shard collected our stalwart, crazy, whirlwinding, dps warrior dwarf Dalmare finally crafted his Shadowmourne, BRM's 3rd legendary of this expansion. It's a much deserved reward for pushing the tanks to the brink of insanity trying to keep up. Now he can resume his duty as third "tank" ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=494 Adding to the lists of guild firsts, we finished off Sindragosa Hard Mode and completed Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10 player) this evening. The last of the Glory Achievements awaits with the 25 player version. Best of luck to the other 10 mans as they finish off the last ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=492 It seems that lately we are getting very good at collecting heroic mode boss kills in batches. Last week's raid on Festergut was shortened abruptly by a hiccup in the server, and when we came back for the raid on Tuesday we found that King Wrynn was providing us with ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=490 The defeat of the Lich King started a new progression race, the final raiding push of Wrath of the Lich King (and last for raiding as we know it before Cataclysm). Some familiar bosses with a few new tricks up their sleeves awaited. Our goal going into this week was to ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=488 Then it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there's no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle's crumbling ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=477 Some bosses are memorable for their voice acting in a good way.  Malchazzar comes to mind, Illidan, Brutallus, and recently, Professor Putricide.  There are also some mobs that are so bad you have to turn off the sound just to be able to do the fight.Quite honestly this is the ... http://www.bloodredmoon.org/?p=475
