Random Non-Wow Thought Of The Day: One knows one lives in Florida when one is driving to work and hears, “Watch out for smoke on the highway; the marsh is still on fire.”

The PTR: Everybody has read about how a hunter pet’s Growl is no longer going to scale with the pet’s attack power, yes? Perhaps you’ve also seen where Blizz is instead going to have Growl scale with the hunter’s attack power, but only when the hunter’s RAP is above a certain level? Well, yes, that sounds pretty nice, but as with all things on the PTR, we prefer to remain silent until the stuff goes live. We dislike freaking out or singing the praises of stuff that may not even be a factor in a week.

Is the Running of Da Bulls really just one week away? Holy cow, it is! Next Saturday, 7pm EDT (11PM GMT) on Cenarion Circle!

We’re going back to Kara tonight for the first time in months. Why? Because we don’t need the Shattered Sun dailies anymore, we have broken the 5000 gold mental-barrier again so we’ve lost the need to farm, BRKTestBed is level 40 and has a mount, and we haven’t got the energy to roll a female gnome warrior.

If we couldn’t be a hunter, we’d be a female, gnome, fury warrior. Red-head, not pink.

The only class we’ve never tried is a warlock. You may read into that what you may.

Aetherial Circle cleared ZA, unfortunately we weren’t there. Grats folks, glad that’s finally done. /wipes hands clean

OH!! After we took down Al’ar the other day, our graphics got totally messed up. Our camera was “fixed” in that we could rotate our toon but the camera didn’t follow. It was awesome; we’ve been trying to figure out how to do just that for years!

But then we couldn’t get it to return to the normal state, and we had to exit the game to restore the camera to nominal condition. How the heck did we do that? And don’t say, “It’s one of those camera-settings, noob!” because it’s NOT one of those camera-settings, we’ve tried them all, hundreds of times.

Would it be wrong to publish on our blog the IP addresses of the two people we banned? Their comments have been purged, their IPs smacked with the BRK Ban Hammer, that’s probably enough.

Listen to us now and believe us later. If you’re a leatherworker, start stock piling the mats for Riding Crops. If the PTR change about Riding Crops becoming more like an enchant and no longer a trinket goes live, people are going to be buying the new Riding Crops for their epic ground mount. Don’t make the Riding Crops now, just in case that change doesn’t get implemented, but have the mats for the Riding Crops ready to go. There will be a limited-time to make mondo-gold on this change, so don’t dilly-dally.

New iMacs next Tuesday, foshizzle. Let’s see if we get a better video card in the next revision. We needz a new rig, pronto!
