Gnome Weekend that Was(n’t much fun)

Posted in Misc WoW, tagged on July 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »

You know how I’ve started the last couple of Gnome Weekend posts with something along the lines of: It didn’t start well and I had the overwhelming feeling it wasn’t going to be a good night… Then follow up a couple of paragraphs later with: … then it all came together and it was a [...]

Family Game Playing

Posted in Not-WoW, tagged on July 29, 2009 | 11 Comments »

This is neither a WoW post, nor a positive post about the family getting together for a round or two of scrabble or monopoly or snap.

DECURZ ME PLZ! Yep, even this Gnome cops the healer’s bane occasionally. This was heard during our Friday run. I felt guilty for a second or two, then I realized I was decursing as fast as I could. As I piped up in Vent assuring the decurses were being dished out, another voice, that of [...]
