Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you all had a fun and safe evening last night and are in for a nice cozy relaxing day today. As always it’s a pleasure to be here writing this for you all and I’m looking forward to all the Queues of the next year!

It’s time for — The Queue!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Unless you’re not celebrating anything today, then I hope you have a great Monday.

By the time you’re reading this hopefully you’re several presents deep and gotten just what you were hoping for — and maybe some things you didn’t know you needed. I also hope that you’ve eaten far too many cookies, drank too much eggnog or eggnog-flavored coffee, and had an otherwise relaxing wonderful morning.

A bear in front of a boss? That can only mean one thing, I have my first Mythic kill of the raid! Well ok, it could also mean other things, but that’s what it means this time!

As with most of the recent raid tiers, we still don’t have our Ahead of the Curve, because Mythic Gnarlroot is easier than Heroic Fyrakk — not for lack of trying! We got close-ish on Fyrakk a couple of times, but the Seed mechanics in the final phase aren’t something that we’ve practiced much on Normal because he keeps dying before we have to actually do them. I know, I know, that’s a total champagne problem right there. Still, I’m sure we’ll get him soon! Then we can start working on all the other fun Mythic bosses in the raid! I’m not dreading any of them too much, but Smoldy is probably the limit of our skills.

Over the weekend I had some time to go and do a quick tour around raids that still have mounts I need from their bosses. Unsurprisingly, I still don’t have Invincible. It’s not like I’m trying super duper hard to get it — but I have been trying!

It’s gotten bad enough that I’ve been saying some unkind words to the holders of those mounts! If you think what I said to Arthas is bad, you should see what I said to Gul’dan!

I rock, do you?

I was originally going to just use a picture of this nice shiny new bear form until I realized it was probably supposed to be bark and not stone that it was made out of… So I had to improvise and attend a rock concert! I still didn’t get the bass guitar to drop, but I did have a bunch of time in the mosh pit with the Heavy Metal Knight.

I’m not going to re-litigate the whole why can’t I use an axe as a Druid, and therefore not use the shiny new legendary axe from Amirdrassil — we all already know how all of the Druids feel about that (bad). But when I got the ‘polearm‘ from Fyrakk in raid last night and looked at it for the first time I’m left thinking that’s about the most axe-like polearm I’ve ever seen! It looks just like a non-legendary version of Fyr’alath!

It’s funny, my dreams in real life are never quite this green. I guess it must be true what they say, it’s not easy dreaming green!
