Finger on the pulse

I’ve recently realized that a lot of people seem to read this rarely updated blog. Which is pretty scary once I think about it. But perhaps that’s more motivation for me to start updating it, and to perhaps spiff up the design a little. And so to update you on what I’ve been doing the past month or so, here’s a brief summary:

  • Working. Writing reviews and stuff. Trying to write more outside of my beat, but finding it difficult.
  • Playing. As some of you know, I’m pretty big into World of Warcraft, and have been trying to raid every week or so. I’ve also gotten myself into a bit of a leadership role, and often am raid assist when our regular raid leader isn’t there. I’ve also become the defacto Public Relations/Recruitment officer of the guild, which is a bizarre thing to think about, but there it is.
  • More playing. I’ve recently picked up Mario Kart for the Wii, and that thing is a tough mutha. Getting used to the wheel takes time. I especially despise the Rainbow route. Damn you Special Cup!

Other than that.. yeah, nothing. I’ve been pretty slackerly in my off-work duties, like blogging for 8asians.com and seeking outside work. I’m just so lazy. But since I’m turning 29 this Thursday, I should probably start turning my life around and get more productive. Lord knows I’m not getting any younger.

Today.. I’m starting today.

WoW Dorkism 1: PUG Psychology

As many of you know, I play World of Warcraft quite a bit. In game, I’m a level 70 shadow priest, and though I don’t consider myself a hardcore raider per say, I do enjoy playing the end-game stuff. Now, from here on out, I’m going to be using heavy WoW jargon, so feel free to tune out if you don’t want to read all this dork stuff. If you’re already a WoW nerd, read on after the jump.
