Random Bits

Meh, busy lately. Oh, Heroes is back! If you haven't seen it, all of the episodes are available online at the official NBC site. A few other things that I have been up to when I'm not in the office or on WoW: Watching: Stargate: Atlantis, & Ergo Proxy. Ergo Proxy is an anime series that I've started recently. Sylistically, it's very similar to Witch Hunter Robin (not surprising, same director). Contextually, it reminds me of GITS + Blade Runner + maybe a smattering of Matrix? I wouldn't say that Ergo Proxy is an instant classic, but it's interesting...worth a watch. Reading: Finished Into a Dark Realm by Raymond E. Feist (favorite fantasy author). I have to wait an entire year to read the next one :( This book is actually the latest installment in a fairly long line of books; The Riftwar Saga being the first trilogy (Magician, the first book, was broken up into Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master in some releases). Playing: WoW, Peggle, and Kingdom Hearts II. I have a stack of unfinished games that I set down for the Burning Crusade. I would like to finish some of them before I lose my place and have to start over.<br /><br />Paladin PTR Changes<br />Several paladi...

I've seen that by as well, and if I happen to find it, I'll link it.

Heres how it goes with shammy weapons. a slow mh and a fast oh. this will irease the mana you get from sr and the amount of ur prs. Wf is nerfed up the ass now so two slow weapons just dont put out the same amount of damage they used to. <br />it wasnt nerfed it wasorrted. That 2 rank thing was an exploit.<br />Just bause Blizz say it was a fix does not mean it's true, it was a nerf plain and simple. If it was a fix it would do what the toolt says it will do, this is not thease. Anyway, what do people think of using RB on both hands?<br />You guys know tha...
