More warcraft stuff. Tuesday nights are raiding nights, so … surprisingly, on Wednesdays I’m still thinking about warcraft. So, one thing Blizzard doesn’t really warn you about is the hidden boss in every encounter… Latency. There are a few fights that are very latency driven: Frogger, which is … well, old style Frogger, but with [...]

“Ok, so pretend Gluth is your fat girlfriend, and you want her to slim down. However, she doesn’t move, but her food comes to her! So, because you want your fat girlfriend to slim down, you want to keep the food from getting to her…” Naxxaramas pugs are funny. And no, if you don’t know [...]
