D3 incoming!
So, Diablo III comes out tomorrow... Who is planning on playing? I'd like for all of us to play together; even though I'm still a bit uncertain on the multiplayer aspects... However, killing stuff together is fun.

Diablo 3
For those of you who have downloaded Diablo 3: Don't forget that you can go ahead and install the client tomorrow (Monday) to make sure everything's working properly before the game goes live on Tuesday.
We will be able to play at 4:01 a.m. (Arthas server time). Is anyone interested in hopping into some co-op first thing Tuesday morning? I'm probably going to try to crash early Monday night to get up early... although, if no one is going to be on, I'll probably sleep a little longer.

Raiding Week of 5/7
Hey everyone!
Old DS Raid 5/7
Just a reminder that tonight we will finish our DS raid from last week. We would like to put in a couple (five) solid attempts on heroic Ultra, so be sure to read up or watch the encounter prior to the raid so you know what to expect. We had an unusual raid composition last week due to some absences, so we may need to adjust during the heroic attempts to get the correct composition.
The calendar did not have everyone from the previous raid signed up, so please sign up today if possible or be on early tonight so we don't lose a half hour getting the raid together.
Ultra and the other heroics we have been trying are very doable with a variety of raid makeups at our current gear and DPS levels. We just need a bit of practice and for everyone to understand the fights and we will have them down in no time.
New DS Raid 5/8 and 5/10
Please sign up for raids on your mains if you can make it. If you are a core raider and cannot make it, please let one of the officers know so we can adjust plans. We have a couple of new people interested in raiding and will try to work them in where possible while still working on our slow but steady heroic progression.
Alt Raid 5/9
I am not sure what my status is for this raid so hopefully Jamie, Josh, or Noodle can help put this together for the week. (edit: no alt raid planned for this week)

Well hello!
Hey all! Just wanted to make a quick post.... I'm not dead. I know I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but my sister-in-law and nephew are in town until the weekend; so you won't see me around much at all.
As far as raiding is concerned... I'm still game. I'll sign up for next week, but we do need to make some important decisions.
Are we going to raid in Pandabearland? I'm not sure... I figured I'd give it a shot, but after playing the beta; I'm less than thrilled... I mean, heck... I've been playing WoW for 6-years now.
Diablo. It's fun and good. I'd love to see you guys snag this when it comes out; and we can hang out together and just mindlessly kill stuff.
Miss you all!

Amusing myself during Diablo 3 neverending download…
Diablo 3 - The Journey Home
Jade: OH! I've been chosen as a Beta Tester for Diablo 3!
Ed: Duh! You and 200,000,000 other people!
Jade: Pfft! I was CHOSEN! Don't you understand? I'm special.
Ed: You're special alright. (rolls eyes)
(Jade sits down at her computer and follows the explicit instructions for the download.)
(Jade, talking to herself.)
Let's see, Go to the website here, click account and create a battle tag - huh?
Jade: Honey.
Ed: Yes, dear.
Jade: What's a battle tag?
Ed: A new game?
Jade: Hmm... no I don't think so. OH...oh-oh I see nevermind.
Click on Diablo 3 beta listed under your game accounts. Verify your age - what the?? I will NOT.
Ed: S'matter?
Jade: They want me to verify my age! How rude! I'll just make up one, they'll never know. (clicky-clackity-ding-ding-ding-ding)
Ed: What was that?
Jade: Apparently it does know. Fricken fraggin blizzard. (Types in real birth date: giggles ensue.)
Ed: What's that?
Jade: Some Blizzard employee's idea of a joke. It giggled at me. GIGGLED!
Select Windows... yada yada yada...select Run... .... .... .... ....
Ed: Honey.
Jade: Yes, dear?
Ed: Your game download is preventing me from playing Mists of Pandaria.
Jade: ...

In the words of Pearl Jam…
We're still alive...
I haven't forgotten about the website, no. Just a bit lazy! Hope everyone has been faring well, so here's a quick update on things. First, I've been playing Diablo III and absolutely LOVE it! I'd love to try the multiplayer aspects sometime this week.
Raiding. We are still raiding, and would like some feedback on heroics. Do we continue working on heroics? The signups this week seem thin; and I know a lot of people are on spring break.... We'll talk about this tomorrow night during raid times.
It really seems like we have regular mode on farm; so the next step would be heroics.... but... does anyone really care enough?
On the exhale... Mists of Pandaria... I've played the beta a bit; and am minimally interested. At this point; I'm not sure where we (as a guild) are headed. Well, me personally. I've played since the first day of vanilla; and this expansion does not interest me at all. That's not saying I'm going to quit; but... I'm not sure if I can do another expansion. To me, it seems as though each expansion loses more and more flavor and Blizzard is putting minimal effort into each one. I mean, Burning Crusade was amazing... but it went down from there.
Regardless, I'm sure I"ll play it for a bit... I'll check out the raiding scene and see if it interests me. Then, we'll discuss the future of AJ. (scary, I know)
AJ will always live though; and I'm hoping the multiplayer is strong in D3.
Anyway, talk to you soon!

Ghosts!
This past week has been really scary... In the middle of a raid, a certain baddie mage popped onto WoW... None other than Rusty himself! Looks like him and Brandon are back temporarily... I'm hoping they stay permanently, but time will tell.
On other news... Dragon Soul is still progressing; even after downing Madness. Last night we downed a Heroic Morchok quite easily and breezed through the rest of the raid and stopped on Spine.
Lastly, I know next week a few people are going to be out. We've had a lot of extras sign up the last couple of weeks, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Anyway, have a great hump day. Be sure to say 'hey' to Rusty and Brandon and make them feel bad if they try to leave.

We beat the World of Warcraft… again.
Last week we did finally clear Dragon Soul (hooray). I'm still waiting on some screen shots to post. Also, many people did not sign up for raids this week. Whats up?
Grats to Alien Jackhammer for clearing yet another full expansion. We may have not done it faster than everyone else, but I can say that not many guilds have cleared as MUCH as we have over the years.
Truth.

The Truth About Brain Games
Did you see this article? Below I've copied the important part, but if you want to read the entire article link here: http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/truth-memory-games-211917912.html
So it's settled...WoW for life!
A study at the Gains Through Gaming Lab earlier this year found that World of Warcraft, of all games, seems to have a beneficial impact on the brains of older players. And in 2011, researchers at the University of Toronto found that playing Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault tended to make subjects more focused. And of course there's the case of 100 year-old gamer Kathleen Connell, who believes playing DS games has helped her stay mentally sharp.

Believe.
Not only is this a slogan that the city of Baltimore used for a while to deter crime (worth Googling)... but it's also a good ideology for us to freakin' clear Dragon Soul. This week we extended the raid lock, and made a full night devoted to Madness. We were very close, but just a tad short on DPS; even with the extra 5% nerf.
Regardless, we opened the raid lock and stomped through the first 6 bosses easily. We will lock the raid again, and start at Spine on Tuesday. We also got some great upgrades on Thursday, so I'm thinking this could push us over the top!
Hope to see you all on for some PvP tonight and this weekend... If not, have a weekend!
