Azoku and Fingerpaint, Losers

Let me tell you about two douches from Kil’Jaeden! We (Carpe Flux Capacitor) had to PUG three people for our second ICC-10 run. Two people came together – Azoku, a druid tank, and Fingerpaint, a holy priest. They complained that the fights were taking too long due to low DPS but stuck with us anyways. Then when Lord Marrowgar was at 3%, they both decided to leave the raid group, leaving us to wipe. While we were slow, no one had died, and everything was going fine. Asses.
Hopefully by the time Frostwing Halls hits, I’ll clear Lower Spire. It sure as hell isn’t happening before The Crimson Hall hits.

Atsumari

My review of the fantastic puzzle game, Atsumari, was posted yesterday on Game-Boyz.com. It’s a relatively simple game in which you use a few rules to determine which hexes of a hexagonal grid should be black and which should be right. It was a relaxing game, and I really enjoyed it.
I also found that my review was quoted on the front page of Atsumari’s web site at Atsumari.com, which really excited me! I had to save a screenshot!

CFC Application

I know I might like to see my CFC guild application in the future, and WebPageless is my personal filing cabinet. I’ll post it here.

 
Character Name
Devee
Level (Numeric Please)
80
Class
Priest
Please list any other characters on this server
Some low level bank alts but nothing worth playing.
Times you are able to play? (Please use server time and be specific or your app will not be considered)
3 PM until 3 AM or so. I don’t really have any other time commitments in my life. I’d prefer to do serious playing from around 7 PM until midnight though.
List previous guilds and why you quit your last guild
My current guild is Playground Justice. I’m quitting because Carpe Flux Capacitor continually steals our members.
Do you have prior raiding experience? (include pre-BC raiding experience)
Nope! I’ve PUG’d old, classic & BC stuff but only post 3.0.
What is your favorite boss fight in the game and why? Please be specific and thoughtful in your answer.
I really enjoyed Forgemaster Garfrost as well as Krick and Ick, both from Pit of Saron. The Icecrown 5-mans were the first new content to be released since I turned 80. As such, it was the first time I ever got a chance to run an instance without having everybody else already know how to do it. My guild purposely avoided reading anything about the fights so we could learn them together. Neither fight is terribly difficult, but they require you to know when to hide behind a boulder or run away. I also enjoyed the epicness of the Lich King encounter in Halls of Reflection, the music during Bronjahm, and the coordination needed in Magtheridon’s Lair. Magtheridon’s Lair was my first raid, which I pugged at 68 (with 80s in the group of course). It needed more coordination that anything I had seen previously and also showed me that most people in PUGs don’t read about the fight ahead of time and refuse to listen about any cubes that may need channeling.
Post and describe your talent build and place a link to your Armory profile here
I’m a disc priest and am using a 57/14/0 build. My Armory is http://www.wowarmory.com/character-tale … nd+Justice. The second spec is my PVE spec. I dipped into Holy to get Holy Spec for the crit, Divine Fury for the reduced cast times, Inspiration, and one point of Improved Renew.
Are you able to use Ventrilo, Omen and Deadly Boss Mods/Big Wigs?
I have Ventrilo and currently have Omen and Big Wigs installed. I could install DBM if needed.
How did you hear about us, and why do you want to join us? (If there are any, please list people from the guild that referred you)
I heard about CFC through Calabrand and Ankt, both friends of mine. They spoke very highly of the guild, and I’d really like to raid. After running all of the heroics, raiding is the next logical step. I wanted to find a guild in which I could progress, taking the raids seriously while still having a good time. It’s also important that I find a guild that won’t be upset that I don’t want obligations in WoW 16 hours per day, seven days per week.
Tell us something about yourself in real life. Include Real Life name and age (Can be long or short as you’d like)
My name’s Peter, and I’m 23 from Irvine, CA. I just finished studying Computer Science and Engineering at UC Irvine.
Please give a brief outline of what you consider your job in a raid and how you could benefit the guild
My job in a raid would be to keep my assignment alive and pop off additional shields/heals if they’re needed and I’m able. Currently in heroics most of my healing is Power Word: Shield, Prayer of Mending, and Penance, with Greater Heal and Flash Heal occasionally and dispelling and disease curing as needed. My second spec is also disc but tailored for PVP. I enjoy Battlegrounds and Wintergrasp a lot; I hit 80 at 54 days played because I’d often spend months doing BGs without leveling. I specifically enjoy going after PVP achievements (although I like going after all achievements) and am looking forward to getting Battlemaster as soon as I get a handful of additional achievements and “of the Horde” when I get 62,213 more HKs (*sigh*). I enjoy world events, cooking, fishing for Old Ironjaw with the nice Alliance members, and petting various pets and druids. I would be willing to respec although I’ve never been Holy, but I’m not willing to have two PVE specs.
Did you read the Raid and Guild rules found here and do you understand them?
I have read them and do understand them.

Yay World of Warcraft

It’s been about two weeks since my last Game Journal update, and I’ve been playing a lot of World of Warcraft. Last time I mentioned that I did the new instances, but I could only complete Halls of Reflection on normal. Since that time I did complete Halls of Reflection on heroic quite a few times. I finished buying all of my triumph PVE gear and moved on to purchasing some heirlooms. I recently realized that my T9 legs are an upgrade, so I need to purchase them. I PUG’d a lot for a while, but now it’s starting to get old. I just don’t need the Emblems of Triumph very badly. Yeah, I could use the PVP gear and more heirlooms, but the urgency isn’t there.

 
I’m trying to PVP a bit more. I was running heroics so much that I hardly had a chance to PVP for a while. I missed getting HKs! I still need another 61,000 or so honorable kills for my title.
I got the Merrymaker title the other day and a few pets! I got the pug pet for PUG’ing with 100 random people in random heroics. I also got Lil’ K.T. and the Pandaren Monk. I love all three! Lil’ K.T. loves to laugh at allies that I kill!
I joined Carpe Flux Capacitor on the 19th. They’re friendly, and I’m enjoying being in the guild! I feel a little bad for leaving Zenakusgrasp, but we’re still playing together. On Sunday I ran Trial of the Crusader (10 man) and Onyxia’s Lair (10 man) with them. Wow, it was so much fun! I got new bracers in ToC and a head piece in Ony. This Sunday I’m going to do Icecrown Citadel! I’m really excited but, surprisingly, not nervous. I was really, really, really nervous before ToC and Ony, but I guess I feel more confident and more prepared for ICC. Maybe I’ll feel more nervous when it’s closer to raid time though.

Ghosts Attack

My review of Ghosts Attack just got posted tonight. It was a fun game, and the atmosphere was really cool. It really reminds me of the feeling I got from The Journeyman Project (although none of you but William know what that is). Ghosts Attack is $4.99, but I received a review copy.
