    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I am going to make a public apology to Noodle for my asshole post. It was mean and I shouldn't have posted it. Now I am not even sure why I did since I don't post here much other than the WoW guild forum. Noodle, I am sorry, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I read this more as, "I want to mythic raid but continue to log in only for raids while my officers do all the real work that a mythic guild requires like constant recruitment, keeping up the guild bank, minimizing drama, and keeping up morale." Go join a mythic guild already or shut the fuck...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We are finally moving to Git (Collabnet Git plugin, GitEye as the client) from SVN before January 2017 and my team is the first to migrate. I have to say my IT department is so backwards that I am pleasantly surprised when a team uses any source code control at all here.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    After flex raiding I have no desire to go back to fixed # raiding just for mythic. It's so nice to be able to continue raiding when people have to log off or can't show up randomly. I dealt with the stress of maintaining fixed roster sizes in vanilla -> Wrath and it sucks having to constantly...

    Pets

    Many years ago our (now deceased) Pug had an itching issue where she rubbed a huge patch of her fur raw. We switched her to a grain-free dog food and the problem disappeared immediately. What dog foods have you tried? We feed our current dogs this one: Grain Free - Pure Vita - Natural...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For the past few years at both work and home I've used an adjustable standing desk and take ~15 minute sit breaks here and there. Personally I find it alleviated all of the issues (including concentration lapses and sleepiness) that I had with sitting for long periods of time. This is the one...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I really enjoyed raiding in vanilla, although it took a toll on life due to the severe time commitment. We spent 7 evenings a week with our guild and the people didn't change much as we progressed from AQ20-> Naxx. We made friends that we met in real life and still keep in touch with today...

    <Fires of Heaven> WoW Guild - [Horde] [Hyjal-US]

    I was Else the Ret/Holy and occasional Prot Pally in WoD. Looking forward to the minivan raids again, those were really fun while they lasted. I decided to try a shaman this expansion as I have not played one before. I'm a little behind due to being on vacation when Legion launched and just...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    We had a new Warrior (had a green leaf icon) in a low level dungeon. Only thing he did was pull and attack 1 mob, the rest went to the WHM. I tried to tell him nicely a few times that he needed to use Overpower and keep aggro on all the mobs but he never responded. Did the entire dungeon that...

    MUDs, MOOs, and You

    I played Avatar MUD when I was in college. I was a rogue and I liked how I would start the fight by backstabbing the mob, then the ranger would rescue me and tank. Occasionally it failed and I went to the cloud!
