Now What?
Currently, I raid with one of my guild’s groups. I’m incredibly fortunate that the raid times plug into my schedule so well or I wouldn’t be able to go at all. Because, hey, kids are so needy.
In addition to […] Continue Reading »

My Luxury Condo Has A Walk-In Closet
I’m sure you guys have seen the trailer and information page for the housing that is releasing this summer. I mean strongholds, totally strongholds. Well, the first time I totally missed the important shit, so I’m highlighting it here […] Continue Reading »
Holiday Raiding
I mean ops. Totally ops.
Holidays are upon us, and we’re in that weird Zone between Thanksgiving and Xmas when people are shopping, cooking, and generally have obligations (myself included). As such, raiding has been spotty, and we often find […] Continue Reading »
Feeling A Bit Useless As Marauder DPS
Last night was one of those nights where few things were going right. The biggest problem was that we had 3 melee DPS (2 marauders and a juggernaut) and things were not working. Usually, the group makeup includes a […] Continue Reading »
I Put On My Big Girl Pants And Did An Op
Two, actually.
First was a 16-man Scum & Villainy Story Mode PUG. Normally, I hate pugs. But, in a fit of stupidity, I accepted the invitation. Here’s why:
- I need gear
- I don’t know the fights at all and if

Joining The Side That Has Cookies
So, I’m moving to the dark side. The sith side. The side with the silly accents and awesome fashion.
When we first started the guild, we voted on faction. Republic won by one vote. Now it’s over a year later, […] Continue Reading »
Meters Epeen
So, gulp, we started using meters. It has been interesting.
Now, you say, didn’t you play WoW? Weren’t there meters all the hell over there? Well, yes, but I was playing a healer at the time… and while healers […] Continue Reading »
Flying Colorblind
Did you know that about 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness? Let that sink in for a sec. And now look at your raid roster.
Throughout all my gaming career, I hadn’t up to this […] Continue Reading »
I Stepped Down As GM
I don’t usually talk about guild stuff OR srs bzns here, but you’re getting both today. Lucky you.
For various reasons, I recently stepped down as GM.
The first reason was real life pressures. I am going to have considerably […] Continue Reading »
Getting Back The Raiding Mojo. I Mean Ops. Totally Ops.
After a month – yes, you read that right, a MONTH – of being unable to raid due to family obligations, I am putting back on my big girl (hawt) pants, and my new shiny sand people shirt from the […] Continue Reading »
Still Waiting for Real Server Transfers
Let’s translate from Bioware Bullshit into English. We never had true “server transfers.” They were mergers. Phased mergers, to be sure, but mergers nonetheless. Now, the population problem has been fixed, enough dicking around, I want real transfers.[…] Continue Reading »
Timing Fail
Man, this sucks. I mean, I’m going on vacation so YAY… but…
The world event! It’s only a week long! I’m not going to finish it!
And, more importantly, Snark Side is recruiting but I’m going to be totally out […] Continue Reading »
Anticipating, Planning, and Other GM Stuff
I’m not entirely sure how I got stuck with being a Co-GM, but um, I am. And as such, the natural planner in me is getting quite the workout. Take the last few weeks…
One of my main tanks (and […] Continue Reading »
Free To Play, Because Everyone Else Is Talking About It And What The Hell Else Should I Talk About?
Um, crap. Free to play. Hrm.
So far, I don’t know much. I am clearly keeping my subscription because Raids – I mean Ops, totally ops – are on the subscription model, and HELL NO, I am not giving up […] Continue Reading »
Now That 1.3 Has Hit…
The things that I thought would be a big problem aren’t, but there are other things that I thought would be big problems, and they are still big problems.
Augment Kits. Sure, they are resource intensive, but they don’t require […] Continue Reading »
Mid-Year SWTOR Assessment: Active Guilds Are Hot Property
Anexxia posted her Mid-Year SWTOR Assessment and it got me thinking about what’s happened with me, the guild, and the game in the last 6 months.
It’s been 6 months, more or less, and the biggest thing I’ve noticed is […] Continue Reading »
The Mystery Of The GM Time Suck
For those of you following along at home, remember Alex and I are co-GM’s of the guild The Snark Side. And while she held the official GM title on one of her toons, she stealth-promoted me when I wasn’t […] Continue Reading »
The Snark Side Is Recruiting
Hi guys! I talk about our awesome guild all the flippin time and y’all are impressed, I know. Anyway, we are recruiting a little right now – “a little” because we’re small so we don’t need more than 2 more […] Continue Reading »
We’re Gonna Raid. I Mean Operations.
So Friday is our first raid. And the anxiety monster is full speed ahead in my little brain.
1. Did I completely fuck us over by choosing DPS? Now, when I chose to switch to DPS from healing, there […] Continue Reading »
50 Is Overwhelming
Yay I did it. And at the same time it’s all just beginning. It feels a little daunting, but at least I have a plan, albeit a half-assed one. Remember, folks, unless you’re cutting edge progression, there’s more than one […] Continue Reading »
