Thank you sir, may I have another?
Nice job tonight everyone. Two more bosses down, and we also made some great progress on Deathwings Spine. We'll start all over on Wednesday, so be ready for a big clear.
Just a reminder, I'll be out for a couple of weeks starting next week... You guys own!

Old hag…
Well, we were able to easily down Hagara Stormbinder, but had some difficulty with Ultraxion. It's not a hard fight; it just required everyone to be perfect.
Good job, nonetheless... I'm confident we will have another notch in our Dragon Soul belt.

And the winner is…
What a great night for AJ! We stepped into the new raid area (Dragon Soul) and came away with three bosses down (and two one-shots). Great job everyone... Here are the screenshots.

The art of being thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I just want to express my thanks to everyone in the guild; past and present. Over the last five years, I've made a lot of great friends. Some still raid with, and some still stays in contact with me on Facebook, Google+ and email.
I look back at all the people that have made the game enjoyable for me to play with... Tony, Brandi, Rusty, Mikey, Barry, Bryan, Shandray, Jason, Kim, Rich, Justin and the Larry's. (I'm sure I've missed a handful) These guys and gals really made the game not simply about killing stuff, but also having a ton of fun doing so. Although they don't play anymore, they impacted the guild and will forever have a place in any game I play or real life.
My old crew, like... Dan, Nate, Jamie and Josh... These guys have been around forever and still continue to play. Without these core members, AJ wouldn't exist. Even the 'new' guys to the guild have not only helped the guild progress, but reinforced what AJ is all about... Chris, Wendy, Matthew and Carl... You guys rock.
So anyway... There's a lot I have to be thankful for in real life, but also the virtual world. I love you all!

This is my moment.
Instead of singing the 'Friday' song; I thought I'd treat you to another Rebecca Black song... Enjoy.
Hope everyone had a good week. I got back from my trip, and my inlays will be here tomorrow so I'll be pretty much indisposed until after Thanksgiving. I talked to Josh a bit, and we are still hoping we have enough interest to raid. I also know I mentioned last raid, that maybe we should take an official break until after the Holidays.
Josh brought up a good point, and I didn't even think about it. The latest patch (4.3) will most likely be released in the next few weeks. How dare Blizzard release new content when we are all traveling and wrapping presents?!
Historically, we lose a few raiders during this time because they are too anxious to wait to beginning raiding. I don't want that to happen. So, we'll do whatever we can to keep the group together and progress. I will be gone the last two weeks of December with zero internet (my folks live in the sticks).
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone!!!

Extended weekend, incoming.
Happy Veterans Day everyone. High-five to all of the Veterans as well as active duty military. I appreciate your sacrifice and commitment and fully know that I wouldn't be here updating my blog without you.
With that said... great job last night in Firelands. Aside from our one priests (cough-cough) who kept disconnecting; it only took us one 'real' attempt to down Shannox. Awesome. Rhyolith is definitely doable. Our best attempt was 42% and I'm confident we'll get him down our next go around.
On long weekends like this, don't be a stranger online. Pop in and do some PvP with us or run a dungeon for fun.
Just another reminder... Next week I'll be traveling for business. I'm 90% sure I'll be able to make Monday night's raid. The only way I wouldn't is unless these people want to take me out for dinner or whatever. Wednesday is more than likely a no go. I'll be flying back... The following week is Thanksgiving, and my in-laws will be in town. I'll keep in touch via the website and pop in when I can.
Also... Show the new Alien Jackhammer Google+ page some love and add it to your circles. Clicky-click!
Have a great weekend, and will talk to everyone soon!

Friendly reminders
First off, happy hump day and happy raid day. Wednesday's are one of my favorite days of the week, not only because the work week is half over but also raid night.
We will be putting a lot more effort into heroics starting tonight; which means I totally expect Shannox to go down tonight. I think we had the pattern work out perfectly last week, and just need a little luck on our side to make it happen.
Next on our reading list is: Loot... and the Drama it Unfolds
Apparently, there was some minor loot drama on Monday. Before I say anything, I just want to remind everyone... AJ has never been about loot... ever. Our mantra has always been, "progressing as friends". While it's great to get those new shiny purple loots, it can be bittersweet if other people are effected.
In a 10-man group, drama should NEVER happen. At this point in progression, there are only going to be a handful of gear that everyone needs. We could break that down, but let's try to focus here guys (and gals). The way it's been and always will be is simple... If a piece drops you need, and more than one person wants it... whomever needs the upgrade more should get it. It's really that simple. Since this is a tight nit group; a little couth can go a long way. If you've already won a piece that night, try to roll with the punches and allow someone else to benefit from the raid.
As mentioned, this late in progression the pieces that drop are few and far between. Let's not lose focus guys.

World of Warcraft… again… and again…
Just thought I'd pass this information along to everyone. If you agree to a year subscription to World of Warcraft; you can get some perks for free. I always have paid six months at a time; so it wasn't that much of a big deal (like $77 for six months).
Anyway, if you commit to a one-year agreement you can get the following goodies:
- A free copy of Diablo III (yumm)
- Tyrael's Charger (cool mount)
- Guaranteed Beta entry into the next World of Warcraft expansion (beta pandas!)
So, check it out... If you are gonna fork out the cash anyway; might as well get some free stuff with it!

Happy hump day.
Tonight we are starting fresh on Firelands, and will be attempting heroic Shannox again. I have some new ideas that I think will help us; and if you have something you think would benefit the raid; let me know.
There is also a chance that we may have too many for our 10-man... So, please be mindful of everyone. If there's nothing you need or have your tier pieces... Let someone else take your spot. Nothing is worse than having the GM tell someone to sit.
Also, continue to sign up EARLY for raids. I'll try to confirm spots the night before a raid so everyone knows who is going and who is out. So, if you aren't raiding... than you can have the night off and know about it.
Talk to you guys tonight!

Good morning, Azeroth.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Just a quick reminder that tonight we have Firelands, and all that is left up is Ragnaros. Should be a quick night.
I know I've mentioned this before, but if time allows and everyone is OK... I'd really like to whip through Throne of the Four Winds. Shouldn't take long, but I know a few of us still need the final achievement.
We will also be talking on vent a bit tonight; discussing the progression part of heroics. I don't want us to go stagnant until 4.3 and Deathwing.
Everyone have a great week, and be sure to sign up for raids early.
