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 […]

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 […]

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:
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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.[…]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Normally, I don’t do a “U SUCK (insert game development company here)” because it doesn’t do any good. But things have been so thoroughly bungled in this launch that I have to say something or I’ll explode.
No, it’s […]

My mom is visiting in late November (Thanksgiving). Ok, no big deal… it’s unlikely that the early access for preorders will start that early.
My dad wants to visit “mid-December.” Yargh. That will probably be right during early access. And […]
