That’s A Whole Lotta Gorilladin
So we’re in contact with this hunter-pet artist — well obviously he can do more than hunter-pets — and we need to know what to do with him.
Ideas?

Proving Once Again That It’s All Hunter-Loot
There are two iLevel-213 trinkets we hunters hope to get: Bandit’s Insignia and Fury of the Five Flights. We’ve had no luck at all getting either of them, and this is all we’ve needed for our Epic achievement.
Listen, we’re not big into achievements, but we’ve wanted Epic for a long time. So finally, when this iLevel-213 trinket dropped in Naxx and no tank was willing to bid for it for primary or off-spec, we spent a little DKP for it.
“Why would a hunter want that?” the raid leader asked. “For PvP?”
/BRK dings Epic achievement
/raid erupts in laughter
We Get Along Without Brain Just Fine
So we had no post yesterday. There is good reason: Brain was on holiday.
Where did Brain go?
When he gets back, we’ll do something or other… fun? Happy?
Hard to write a blog without Brain. Words don’t mix… fit…
How are we going to do the WoW Insider Show at 3pm EDT today without Brain? Turpster should have a song for us and it should be… good?
/sigh
Brain! Come home!
Even the Volume Controller Works
So we bought the G11 keyboard from Logitech and color us surprised! The GamePanel software that came with our G13 gamepad automatically identified our G11 and configured itself to work with the new hardware!
The G11 has eighteen extra “G-buttons” on the left of the keyboard, plus three “M-keys” that allow each G-button to have three functions assigned to it. 18 x 3 = 54 buttons, people. And with the new software, they’re all accessible on the Mac.
Can the software run the G11 and the G13 at the same time? Yes!
The G13 cannot be plugged into either of the G11’s two USB ports as the G13 requires more power than the G11 provides, but the software has no problem running both the keyboard and the game pad simultaneously.
Sixty-six buttons on the G13, fifty-four buttons on the G11… there’s just way too much stuff here. We’re on overload.
Amazing Facts About Today
1. It is indeed our 40th birthday. Thank you mom!
2. The “Your airbag is broken!” idiot light on the 350z’s dash came on at 100,250 miles.
3. Our extended warranty ended at 100,000 miles.
4. The Nissan dealership charged $100 to diagnose the light.
5. They wanted $2100 to replace the sensor and the passenger-side airbag
6. While our car was being “repaired”, we looked at the new 370z.
7. We want a new 370z
8. The Nissan dealership was charging extra for interior protectant, rust inhibitor, a pin stripe, and replacing the air in the tires with nitrogen.
9. We totally called “shenanigans!” on their $2100 quote, guessing that the idiot light was just an accidental thrown code.
10. We drove for two and a half hours afterwords, no airbag-light illuminated.
11. We are getting cupcakes for our birthday.
12. We know this because our son, who we picked up at school today, bellowed, “Did you get the cupcakes for your birthday like mommy told grandma to do?”
13. We have decided to write our book. No foolin’.
14. Our book-writin’ will probably impact the quantity of posts on this blog. We apologize.
15. We refuse to get a “Dummies Guide to Writing a Book”, for if we know how hard this is going to be, we probably won’t start.
16. P.G. Wodehouse and Lawrence Sanders are our muses. Robert Ludlum too, but not the Bourne series, but instead, The Road to Gandolfo, (our favorite book of all time).
17. We’re planning on investing six months of writing, followed by several hundred rejection letters from publishers. We’re ready!
18. Mrs BRK has been with us for 13 of our 40 years on this good Earth. She is the best thing that ever has happened or will ever happen to us.
19. Without Mrs BRK, none of this — our blog, WoW-career, and now potential literary career — would be possible or worthwhile.
20. Our ability to write would be much enhanced with a new 370z.
Ka-Wacka!
All else is /fail. Only this is /win.

We Might Get a G11
“It’s Patchwerk time, Brain!”
“Yes it is, BRK.”
“Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!”
“Hey Antony…”
“Charge! Kill it! Destroy! Keep the squishies down!”
“BRK…”
“In the words of Rambo, ‘AAAAAHHHHHH!’”
“Dude. You’re not firing.”
“Huh? Oh, we must be out of range. Move in a bit.”
“I have, BRK. I still can’t fire.”
“Are you on strike or something?! Time is a-wastin’!”
“My signals are flowing to Fingers, they are pressing keys, but no in-game action is being observed as a result.”
“YOU’RE {expletive deleted} US!”
“No {expletive deleted}, BRK.”
“Well do something!”
“What is the Second Rule of Delicate Electronics Maintenance, BRK? Do you remember?”
“Um… It’s always the crew chief’s fault?”
“No. It is: ‘When in doubt, get a bigger hammer.’”
“Punch that keyboard, Brain!”
“Forming the commands to morph Fingers into Fist right now…”
“This is not the first time this keyboard has fouled up. Bad keyboard is bad!”
“Fist is online. Engaging the number-pad…”
“Hey Brain… just a thought; is this gonna hurt?”
“Testosterone interfering in pain-estimate calculations. Fist is launched. 500 milliseconds to target.”
“PUNCH IT LIKE A BAYBEH!”
/keyboard punch
“Well Brain, did it work?”
“It did indeed, BRK. We have control and are firing at Patchwerk.”
“Get a bigger hammer; it works every time! Yeeha!”
/ninety minutes or so later
“Hey Brain, we’re being asked to go to ten-man Malygos. You still awake?”
“Sure BRK. Let’s rock it.
/engage Malygos
“Here we go, Brain! Yeeha!”
“Problem BRK.”
“What’s that?”
“We’re not firing again.”
“No? Keyboard stuck again?”
“Apparently. You need to go shopping tomorrow and replace this thing.”
“Will do. But for the moment, would you…”
“Punch the keyboard right in the num-pad? Already working…”
“PUNCH IT LIKE A BAYBEH!”
/keyboard punch
/keys go flying
/tilt-legs break off
/complete loss of ability to control WoW-toon achieved
“Um… BRK?”
“We’re still not firing, Brain. What’s going on?”
“Well, we’ve encountered a small problem.”
“Define the problem. Only then can we solve it.”
“That’s pretty good, BRK.”
“Thank you.”
“The keyboard is in itty-bitty pieces.”
“Pieces?”
“Tracked the F12 key as it arced behind the desk.”
“We kinda need that…”
“The Return key is floating in your glass of grape juice.”
“There’s some red stuff on Fingers!”
“That would be blood.”
“We’re not a Death Knight, Brain! This is not optimal!”
“This is {expletive deleted} is what it is.
“How far down is Malygos?”
“He’s at 95% health.”
“And what is our position?”
“Hugging the Main Tank.”
/dead BRK
“Correction; lying dead at the feet of the Main Tank.”
“Let’s recap, Brain. Our keyboard, which we’ve had for years, decided to wig-out two times on boss-fights, and an excessive /keyboard punch popped keys every which way which made us die on Malygos.”
“Bingo, chief.”
“Is there a moral to this insanity that we can illustrate in a blog-post, like… Never punch your keyboard like a baybeh?”
“Not really, no, because I’m about to do that a few more times right now.”
