I just got word from my hunter-in-arms, Frostheim, that the inspiration for most hunter blogs and half the other wow blogs on the internet, Big Red Kitty, will be joining us on tomorrow’s Hunting Party podcast! Tune in at 6:00 PM EST for the live show! He’s still under NDA, so we’ll probably be discussing [...]

This Week!
Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged back in my day, both ways, real computers, respect, uphill, younguns on May 18, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I’ll have limited ability to post, except very early in the morning or randomly as I find a few minutes. I’m doing a training. My instructor is a semi-retired suspender + belt wearing guy who counts in binary on his fingers (to go higher than 10) and apparently was some sort of OS developer in [...]
Hints and Rumors!

Go take a look at Bell’s post. I’m going to hazard a guess and agree that “NDA” stands for “No Dwarfs Allowed”. Also, the image at the original site has changed again :)
Tamable Druids at Wow.com!
Posted in Hunter, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged druids, Hunter, mind control, pet, pve, pvp, scare beast, tamable druids, tame on May 10, 2010 | 9 Comments »
Hey guys, look! Frostheim let me write a hunter article at wow.com! So I took the opportunity to make a case for taming druids. Lastly, I think we should be able to tame druids. Wait, don’t close this browser yet! Hear me out! I think that during PvP, hunters should have a short term Mind Control [...]
The Real Problem is Gold Buyers!
Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged buy wow gold, cheaters, farmers, gold, gold farmers, gold sellers, gold selling, hackers, rant, wow gold on April 29, 2010 | 47 Comments »
Gold buyers are cheaters. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing someone cheating to avoid work I’ve been doing. It gives me that feeling you get when someone blatantly cuts in line in real life. When I tell people that I play the AH, I get incredulous stares and hear things like “Who needs gold?” and [...]
Huge Cataclysm Raiding Announcement!
Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged 10 man, 25 man, announcement, blue post, cataclysm, lockout, pve, raiding on April 26, 2010 | 35 Comments »
This will definitively end the drama between 10 and 25 man raiding: in Cataclysm, Blizzard will be making you choose between 10s and 25s. The gear reward quality will be the same, but to compensate guilds that are able to organize two and a half times the people, there will be more drops per raider. [...]
Best Hunter Guild Application Ever!
Posted in Hunter, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged application, awesome, epic in every sense of the word, equipping a pet, guild, Hunter, my profession is camp councilor, video on April 16, 2010 | 14 Comments »
This was brought to my attention- I strongly advocate all hunters apply to their prospective guilds this way.
Always Carry A Notepad!
Posted in Hunter, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged damn right offtopic, inspiration, marks, notepad ftw, Offtopic, podcast, pve, pvp, Survival on April 7, 2010 | 5 Comments »
There I was, sitting on the train, planning out today’s post. Well, I was actually zoning out listening to Muse. But while doing that, I had the most awesome idea for a post! Unfortunately, having no notepad available, I decided to forgo touch-typing it into my iPod. FAIL! I totally forgot what I was going [...]
Offtopic: In Game Event!

Hi guys, I have a real post lined up for today, but I wanted to take a moment to direct your attention to this post on Call to Auction, my other podcast. We’re doing an in game event where the prize is 20,000g! Long story short, you’ll be rolling level 1 dwarves (or gnomes… ew), [...]
Resource Site Spotlight Writer
Posted in Offtopic, Resources, tagged resource site spotlight, tnb, twisted nether on March 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew, blogging wise. Unfortunately, this means I’ve been neglecting things- specifically, the resource site spotlight over at Twisted Nether. Is anyone interested in taking this under their wing? It’s an excellent way to introduce your blog to people, as well as learn about all the [...]
Aaahhh, Poetry!
Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged frostheim, laureate, outdps, podcast, poet on February 22, 2010 | 11 Comments »
So last night’s live podcast went swimmingly- big thanks to all the listeners that showed up! A fun time was had by all. Except Faeghleis, who has to edit all that nonsense into one coherent file for iTunes. Poor dude… In the after-show, Frost and I were chatting about bets. I’ve been trying to angle [...]
A Day Late, a Dollar Short!
Posted in Offtopic, tagged does nothing, excuses, eyebleach on February 17, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I’m being reminded by some readers that I haven’t been posting as much as I promised. I have many excuses and explanations, but I’m just taking a moment to promise that it’s all short term things, and that I plan on spending as much (or more!) time writing for outdps as I did before I [...]
Auction House Column on WoW.com!
Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged AH, auction house, wow.com on February 9, 2010 | 12 Comments »
In case you didn’t catch this at the source, I’ll be writing an auction house column at wow.com. I’m nothing if not tenacious :P This won’t reduce the amount I write about hunters on outdps.com, so don’t worry!
Ensidia Banned?!

Edit: Upon further research, I think I might have jumped the shark gun. Evidently, the only way to hit the platform with a frag bomb is if you aim for it. Unless you hit it by accident while you’re hitting adds. I’m going to leave this post here as a testament to my tendency to [...]
Who Said Hunters Can’t Sing?
Posted in Offtopic, Spotlight, World of Warcraft, tagged boss kill, louis armstrong, mashup, video, yogg saron, youtube on February 3, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Alpacaa produced quite possibly one of the best Louis Armstrong / Yogg Saron mashups I have ever heard. Well, one of the only ones, but it’s still one of the funniest boss kill videos I’ve watched. He wrote the lyrics and sang this himself (video embedded after the break). For more Alpacaa boss videos, check [...]
