Lots to catch up on

Yeah, I know.  It’s been a while since my last confession…er,  blog post.    It’s been nearly three weeks since my last post.  So, I guess I should fill you all in on the latest.

Yesterday, Theshat and I attended a 10man normal on The Eye of Eternity .  Unfortunately that ended up in an epic fail, but it’s ok.  It was still a good learning experience.  It was almost all but one person’s first time there.  What made it so fail though is that after we wiped, the healer who had the key decided to leave,  and then both tanks left.    Well after finding another couple of people, we ended up 9 manning Zone "2562" not found..  That also was our first time there, but we did that one easily, and had a lot of fun doing it.  Part of it was these two guys that Theshat and I met a couple weeks ago.  We’ve been running randoms with them whenever we could.  Anyway,  we finished Kara and got the [Karazhan].  After that, everyone but our two friends bailed, and we decided to do Molten Core , mainly for shits and giggles, but also I wanted Theshat and I to get the achievement [Molten Core] before Cataclysm comes out and that raid is no more.  So, yeah, we 4 manned MC:  Myself and Theshat as the only DPS, our lock friend using his little brother’s DK for tanking, and our other friend as heals.  Amazingly, nobody died once.  We had no clue what we were doing, just winging it the entire time.  A couple times I thought we might end up losing a fight, but somehow, we pulled through.  Some of the other fights were harder than Ragnaros.  We killed him so fast, he never got a chance to submerge the first time.    Yeah, I’ve heard stories of prot pallies soloing the raid, but hey, we’re not pallies, and I still think it was a pretty good accomplishment for 4 guys who’ve never been to MC to finish the raid together all in one sitting and not die once.  I never got the chance to run MC back in the old days, because every time one of my guildies got to 60, they’d leave the guild for one of the huge guilds, rather than help our others get to 60 so we could run MC together.

Ok, let’s see.  What else?  In the last 3 weeks, Theshat and I racked up a nice amount of achievements.  In one night and all at once, we got [Northrend Dungeonmaster], [Northrend Dungeon Hero], [Looking For Multitudes] (and got our [Perky Pug]s to boot!).   We got a bunch done for [Glory of the Hero] (I’m not going to list them all here, we have done so many). We’re about 50% done with that.   We also have only 2 to go for [Champion of the Frozen Wastes] (Sartharion and Malygos).    Theshat got his [Noble Gardener] done in less than 24 hours total.  I did mine last year, but took me a couple of days to get it done.  Gratz on a speedy achievement dude! Well that’s all for now.  Gotta get some shuteye.  Not sure yet, but the guys and I might try to do another old school 40 man raid later tonight.
