BRK on WoW Insider is on Countdown
You bet it is. The Editors have closed their eyes, held their collective noses, and given a thumbs-up to the latest BRK thinly-disguised-as-writing screed to be published. We believe 3:00pm is our target for launch.
In what has become tradition, it’s time for the BRK Self-Flame of Perpetual Indulgence.
“I graduated high school only because of the illegal and immoral activities I volunteered to endure at the hands of Miss McArthy, A.A.R.P., my 12th grade English teacher. My inability to type with my swollen and infected fingers is only surpassed by my limited and often double-vision that has resulted from keeping my second LCD looping bestiality p@rn. My experience with a hunter consists of watching Lord of the Rings 109 times in its entirety, alone, in the dark, with a crate of soggy Doritos I found beside the dumpster at 7-11.
“And I could write a better column than BRK.”
Edit: Well, it worked. Our self-flame wasn’t stolen by our good friend and posted as his own. D@mn shame, actually.

You took the words from my mouth.
Now close that quote with a ” already!!!

Actually, when quoting multiple paragraphs, you only put a ” at the start of each new paragraph. A closing ” would imply the next opening ” is a different speaker.

Grammatically correct though this may be, I’ll bet you a dollar it was a typo anyway.

You lose that dollar. Please check the blog; we’ve been very consistent with our quotation marks when posting question-emails.

Came here to tell you… NICE article on the Insider. I even posted a link to it on my guild site asking folks to read it and mentally replace ‘hunter’ with their class. Lots of good stuff in there. Good job!
Guy on 30 May 2007 at 8:27 pm #
dave… Paragraphs? Looks like a block of text from a single voice to me. Close it with a quotation mark.
You know… Kinda like the TWO quotation marks used in THE VERY NEXT LINE.
tyvm.

Ya know, playing the villain over on WI is actually funny, don’t know why I didn’t start doing it earlier.
Great article, passing on quality drops has actually built up a good little bit of hunter karma, and I’m actually popular on Fenris… though there aren’t many people there yet.
Keep up the good work

Guy,
THE VERY NEXT LINE
*IS*
THE VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH.
Dahm’s punctuation is correct, in that it indicates that both paragraphs, i.e. the block of text AND the single line that follows, were said by the same person.
Moony/Kala on 30 May 2007 at 10:06 pm #
To Damh’s edit note: Look again. Someone did snag it and claim it.
LMAO
Goober.
Guy on 30 May 2007 at 10:09 pm #
oh.
hmm.
The same person said all of that?
huh.
I hadn’t picked up on that.
figures the first and only time I try to correct someone’s grammar I would be wrong.
That’s why I don’t do it.
Add it to my list of screw ups lately.
I’m on a roll!
Guy’s Screw ups this week:
1.) Left the woman I love 28 hundred miles away for the next 3 months.
2.) Bought food at the airport.
3.) Had a “professional” do the job.
4.) Thought my factory in China knew how to read between the lines.
5.) Wiped the raid when I pulled the Maiden by pressing “5” and firing arcane shot instead of pressing “R” to reply to a whisper.
6.) Tried to correct BRK grammar.
I am off to a good start this week..

Yup, someone did post the “BRK AARP Flame”. It’s the best flame comment of them all over there, as usual.

BRK, i’m bored at work, waiting for this program to convert information from one database format to another. Can you entertain me even more than already? Perhaps think up something about mounts? Stuff you’ve tried to solo? Tales of the past, your younger days in Azeroth? Anonymous needs some love.

I’m a Paladin as it is my main. I read the article and liked it alot. Had alot of interesting info on been repaired, prepared and just good group functioning dynamics. I have a alt that’s a young Hunter.
Irregardless i think from the article every class can actually learn something from it in been repaired, prepared, communicating and relating with a group.

“You lose that dollar.”
It’s a fair cop.
