Small update because I'm not dead!

So the thought occurs, I've barely posted in the last month, after spending the month before that posting a lot. It's really entirely down to me being lazy, but I thought I'd make a small update, just to let people know what I'm up to.
Last month was a bit of a busy month for me. I went down to my girlfriend's place (She lives out of town) to see her perform one of her weekly concerts, then the next week, I went to my mum's place to give my final respects to Dinky and put a wee doggy statue on his wee doggy grave. Week after that, my sister came down for the weekend for the last time before I become an uncle, and now this week, I've gone to my girlfriend's place again for no particular reason. So yeah! Been a wee bit busy, but mostly, I'm just lazy!

But! Because I'm lazy, I thought I'd give a few previews for things I wanna post.
  • A brief introduction to quantum physics, because one of my friends asked me to.
  • Weird trilogue (That's a real word, I swear!) involving a fictional deity.
  • A story about a seagull.
  • Something about adulthood.
  • A form of review of WoW tank classes.
I probably have other things in line. I'm also considering posting one of my fictional story type things up here, because I like posting it on things and maybe, someday, people will actually read it. It's not bad, I swear!

On a slightly more serious note, I've been poking around the stats, and while I haven't had more than, like, 40 views on a single blog post, I have had a few hits from search engines (Mostly to WoW related things) which is very encouraging! I like the fact that people are finding me from googling me.

But yeah. That was a pretty small update. I'll try write more soon, but for now, brb being really lazy.

Update:  Decided I would put up SKI. It's over here!

Holy New Warrior Talents!

So Blizzard announced today, the new Panda-styled talent trees. Since my main is a prot warrior, I'm gonna look at the warrior ones from a tank point of view.

So, firstly, my opinion on the setup of the new talent trees.
  1. I like that they're not spec-bound now. Being able to pick and choose which talent I like without being bound to a tree is pretty neat.
  2. I would like the change to be a bit more. There are currently 18 talents per tree (6 lots of 3). Something like 24 or even 30 would be nicer (6 lots of 4 or 5), but then you have the problem of making sure all the talents are cool.
  3. The biggest problem, I think, is that, in trying to add customisability, they're removing it. It looks right now like there's one talent that's best for each situation and I'm not sure I like that.
With that said, it's an interesting change and I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

And now, a talent by talent look, but first a disclaimer: I know these talents aren't final and are subject to change. It's also somewhat difficult to look at these talents in a vacuum. I assume skills will be changing, or else some of them are just useless.

So! Straight into it! (Images all courtesy of MMO-Champion)
