Phat Gear in Patch 3.3.2

Hey, porkers, hope you skipped the lunch buffet because Patch 3.3.2 just served a pile of phat gear for us to chew on.

In this major patch that opens up the Frostwing Halls, we get to save a green dragon from being a Scourge lab rat and kill an undead wyrm who likes to eat heroes frosted. Clearing both encounters unlocks the path to the Frozen Throne room where, if spoilers are to be trusted, hero NPCs like Sylvanas and Jaina will help in the final battle against Arthas.

Within a couple of days, top guilds have attempted to down the Lich King but only a select few succeeded such as  Blood Legion (10-man world first kill) and Ensidia Paragon (legit 25-man normal world first kill). The biggest incentive for these leet groups aside from the bragging rights are the drool-worthy loot drops listed here and here. I don't know about you dudes, but I'd pay WoW Gold to get a glimpse of those heroic 25-man weapons with their awesome stats and loregasm quotes.

For the PvP hogs out there, the coveted items will be the new armor sets for the Season 8 Arena.

 
I'd rock the paladin set (shown above) in a heartbeat but something tells I should donate the helmet to the Deadmines diggers. The rogue set concept also owns because blind assassins are simply badass.

Patch 3.3.2 even made gear-hunting faster for those still working their way up the ilevels. Several nerfs have made the bosses easier in some dungeons (Forge of Souls, Nexus) and sped up the NPC run times in others (Halls of Stone).

So go, pig out on all the emblems. Just remember to stock up on WoW Gold for fish feasts and other vital consumables. Believe me, the well fed buff can make a fail PuG a barely-made-it win.

Wowing the WoW Girls Part 1

Excuse me for the lack of a better title. I’ve been single for the past couple of months and surprise surprise, I haven’t exactly been playing the field. I’m not ready to get back into the dating scene just yet and no, this has nothing to do with my bruised ego or my rusty ladykiller skills.

I’ve just decided that dating someone in real life is pretty complicated. So allow me to indulge in my g-rated fantasies for a while. Hey, dudes can dream too. Shut up and just go with me on this one.

This will be the first part of a three-part series which also serves as a tribute of sorts to my favorite mind-blowing mamacitas in WoW.

First up, Jaina Proudmoore. AKA the girl with the noble last name. She may look like the girl next door but I’m telling you, she is the total embodiment of smexy. Girl’s got beauty, brains and uhh…a whole lot of other Bs.

Now let’s see, where should I take her out on a date?

For an educated blonde sophisticate like Jaina, a tour around the MET would be awesome. Nothing says culture and class than a museum date. We’ll be coasting along various art collections like the Arms and Armor department and the Costume Institute. Yep, that should take out the stuffiness. We’ll also have lunch at the MET steps to make things a little more casual.

And now for the one-track soundtrack. Not to be pretentious or anything but I consider myself a pretty decent singer. So what if my only exposure was on the karaoke stage during a major booze fest with my frat buddies? I got some serious pipes, man. By the end of the night, she’ll be beyond smitten by my rendition of Before It’s Too Late by the Goo Goo Dolls.



Or I could end up a roasted pig after she fancies casting a fireball on me. I’m also fine with that.

Stay tuned for the other two parts, piggies!
