Weekend Reading List

Blogs I’ve visited and interesting posts I’ve read that you should check out this weekend…

• Righteous Orbs
  I think the first Righteous Orbs post I read was the How to Lose Friends and Alienate people post earlier this month. I’m consistently drawn into read the spots here. Definitely a blog to follow. How am I so late to the party on this?? 🙂
• Tastes Like Battlechicken
  I’ve bookmarked Tastes Like Battlechicken to spend some serious time with when I decide to pick up my boomkin again. My Boomkin will never see the Lich King, but if yours will, she has a phase–by–phase guide you should go read now.
• Oddcraft
  In the throes of our darkest nights in Icecrown Citadel, as we worked tirelessly towards Arthas’ overthrow, our conversation naturally turned towards whom should be our next warchief. Our 10-man team was almost unanimous in our decision: BASIC CAMPFIRE FOR WARCHIEF! Although, as a Forsaken, the COOK message didn’t resonate with me on a personal level, I do enjoy watching my comrades enjoy the food I make with such love and attention. And standing next to the campfire, near Arthas’ frozen throne, did raise my spirit a bit. Major kudos to Vrykerion at Oddcraft for giving the warchief candidates a platform, and for those quirky city tours.

• Cynwise’s Battlefield Manual
  As he points out, one of the primary barriers to success in the BGs is a lack of 1) familiarity with the battlefield amp and 2) a lack of knowing what the strategy is once you get inside the BG. Which is why he created some awesome battleground strategy maps. Pop over there and check them out before your next BG queue.
• Psynister’s Notebook
  His article on dealing with lowbie LFG primadonnas is excellent. But I would be lying by omission if I didn’t tell you it was spewing out coffee from laughing at the I haz shuvel! stickfigure drawing that really sealed the deal for me.
