Insane Fame
Well the last week has been crazy busy for me. Between my new job and patch 3.2 it’s taken until today for me to sit down and really get some good time in working on the site. I wanted to thank everyone for the comments and emails that keep coming! It really makes my day to read them so keep sending away, especially with screenshots of your new insane titles.
I’ve created a page to display all the screenshots as they come in so contact me with a link if you have one to share and I’ll add it to the page. Here’s the link:
Have been settling into life on Aman’thul over the last week. One thing I don’t think I’ll ever get used to is Dalaran being so busy at 11pm at night! After playing on a US server for so many years I’m used to my playtime being ‘off peak’ hours for the server so its a freaky change.
A special thanks goes to [Irv of Jellybean] and [Drakeness of Noctis Eris] for being around to answer my 50,000 questions about the server as I settle in. :p
Finally after much research I went ahead and ordered the Asus EeePC 1000HE on Friday. I opted for 2GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive which, along with its 9 hour batter life, makes for a pretty kick ass netbook to do site updates and auction-housing from. Thanks Bennick and Zhakoo for the input on that one, can’t wait for it to arrive!

Total Gold Acquired: Broken! Plus some cool screenshots
Working on a few new things at the moment – in particular a series of videos on Auction House tips that I’ve had a number of requests for. If there’s anything you guys want me to include make sure to flick me a quick email through the contact button over on the right-hand side.
I’ve been meaning to post a quick video of my ‘Total Gold Acquired:’ stat breaking but since its only 17 seconds and not really that interesting I figured a screenshot would be just as good.
Whats the deal? Well when the ‘Total Gold Acquired’ statistic in your character’s wealth tab passes the gold limit of 214,748g it breaks and what you see above is what I’m left with. Since it happened last week the figure is slowly moving towards 0 again which means once I’ve acquired another 200k gold I’ll be at 0 once more. Kinda cool I suppose :)
Also had to share these two screenshots that I think are background-worthy:

Psychi and Vaughn the Insane – Well done guys!
Well well well! Just had to post to congratulate two new members of the [Insane in the Membrane] club. They are [Psychi] from the Blackwater Raiders realm and [Vaughn] from my very own Shadowsong realm.
Well done guys! They’ve both sent in screenshots of their swanky new titles so check them out:

Saate-bash? What’s new and a few quotes
Hey Hey,
So I’ve been working on my coolest obsession article yet, can’t wait to finish it and share it with everyone! :) Looks like at least a few more days at this stage I’m thinking. I recently discovered the coolness of Wow-Bash and after looking through their Top 100 I became a little nostalgic and had to submit some of my favourite quotes. I figured it might be cool to share them with you too :)
Also, after four years of engineering as a main profession I was sad to have to do this:
I decided that although engineering has always had cool trinkets and toys it has never really been a profession that lends me anything in terms of raid survivability. As a Main Tank for my guild I really believe in min/maxing as much as I can and, with the 3.2 changes upping the HP benefits some of the other professions already have, enough was enough. I’m now a 450 Jewelcrafter and absolutely loving the JC-Only gems :)
Now on with the quotes!

Three-boxing, Bindings of the Windseeker and Face Mismatches
Sooooo…A lot seems to have happened in the last few days. Having never been a person that plays alts I’ve embarked on a somewhat ambitious 3-boxing project! My decision on what class to play came down to either mage or shaman. Since I’m not overly fond of playing Draenei I ended up deciding on going with mages and so far I haven’t regretted it.
After a lot of deliberation on names (and a lot of checking what was actually available to take) I ended up settling with Kahboom, Kaapow and Kablammo. As they level up a little more I’ll record some stuff to make a video sharing my setup and ways of tackling different things.
Second up, after recently reading about a change to [Bindings of the Windseeker] that removed the class restriction I thought it might be an interesting irony to try obtaining the [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] feat of strength on a class that can’t even equip the thing.
I figured that the only way I wasnt going to grief someone out of the drop was to farm the bosses solo. So this afternoon I headed in and took my first crack at Garr. It was a very easy solo and guess what I got!
Next up is to gather some fire resist gear and solo Baron Geddon for the next binding. Time will tell on that one I suppose, at least now I know how all those one-binding warriors felt back in the MC days! :p
Finally I’ll finish this post with something really wierd. Two friends, Epyon and Zyklia, recently made a post on our guild forum about freaky face mismatches that had happened to them in game. I’m not sure how it happens, but a day or two after seeing their screenshots it happened to two of my 3-box mages.
Here’s a collection of all the screenshots so far:

Has anyone else had this happen? Hit me up with some comments, I’d love to hear from you!

7000 Achievement points milestone passed!
Just a quick post to update the site. Ulduar has been progressing fantastically, we’re having heaps of fun in both 10 and 25 mans.
I’ve finally broken the 7000 Achievement Point mark too – what a landmark! I’m now at 7175 points and with Ulduar around now I’ve got plenty more to come. Also working on the [Frostbitten] achievement at the moment too.
Absolutely have to share a few of my recent screenshots. Check out all the fish feasts for some insanity from Khasha. The shot of General Vezax I think looks amazing too.
That’s it for now, more in a day or two – enjoy!

Ulduar first impressions
Sometime this week, between the 50 million server restarts, we managed to sneak in time to take a 10-man in to Ulduar and have a peek around. We had such a fantastic time with all the exciting and fun encounters. We managed to take down Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, XT-002 Deconstructor, Iron Council, Kologarn, Auriaya, Hodir, Thorim and Freya which was not bad.
I picked up [The Leviathan's Coil], [Valorous Nightsong Legguards] and [Guise of the Midgard Serpent]. The later of which I think one of the most awesome looking helms I’ve ever seen, check it out:
I took a few more screenshots of the instance and some of our kills as well. After spending some time in there you’ll probably agree that screenshots can’t do the place justice. I definitely recommend getting some of your guildmates and hitting the place up, we’re having an awesome time so far!
Still working on that Steamwheedle Cartel rep guide, and I’ve got a few more ideas for posts so watch this space :)
So many memories – The Gates of Ahn’Qiraj
So I’ve been going through my old screenshots, some of which date back to 2005, and they’ve brought a lot of memories flooding back! I’ve picked out some of the better ones and I’m uploading them to galleries on the site.
To start things out, here are some of my favourite shots from the AQ40 questline and the gate event itself.
