Early this week the Fists of Ham took on the Uldaman instance, over the lovely Badlands area. This may have been one of the best sessions we’ve had to date. We’re really gelling as a group, getting some big successes under our belt, and it’s an absolute ton of fun. The video this week is our take on the Ironaya event, the cool Indiana Jones-style boss fight in the instance. Very appropriate this week, given what just came out. We snagged the [Ironshod Bludgeon] as a loot reward … which makes me question reality. Can some bright spark tell me why I’d want a blue staff with a Stam boost? PvP?

I’m having a ton of fun with these WoW sessions; we went on from Ironaya to down Archaedas at the end of the instance – something we really didn’t think we were going to be able to do. Archie, if you’re unfamiliar with him, is probably one of the toughest pre-60 encounters in the entire game. We didn’t exactly walk through it, but I’d say we did pretty well. No deaths, either! Good times, and I think we’re going to give it another go thiscoming week (this time with quests). Oh, plus … got my raptor!

Otherwise this week has seen me largely ignoring Age of Conan in favour of playing Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. I finished it up earlier today, and I loved it – wall to wall – start to finish. It was really, really very good. Story, art, gameplay, all lovingly crafted as if just for me. I am obviously not a representative sample here, but if you’ve enjoyed my views on stuff in the past this gets a huge thumbs up from me.
