Kil'jaeden The Beautiful One Will Feel My Daggers!
I play a lot of video games. Since 2008 rolled into 2009 I have conquered worlds, become a demigod, twisted my brain, shot an ostentatious amount of bullets, dismembered countless meatsacks, heard more four letters words than I care to admit and even created an army of plants to defend against zombies. Dozens of titles have fallen before me, and I plan on completing dozens more. Even though I play like a fiend - much to the chagrin of TV and movie advertisers - I still miss my fair share of video games. Metal Gears, God of Wars, Zelda, Halos, Final Fantasies (still not final!), even Mario; I've missed one or more titles in today's most popular franchises.
What does this have to do with World of Warcraft you ask? Well, like many of the commentators on yesterday's post, I have missed my fair share of raid content. Although my break from WoW during The Burning Crusade's days was short lived, it put me far enough behind the raiding curve (and the finding a good guild curve) that I couldn't catch up in time. Karazhan was the only raid to feel my wrath (sorry).
With this sad fact in my mind I have decided to do what I do with my other video games, head back into my library of plastic and visit what I missed in my spare time. From here on out this brand spanking new column, Deleting Old Content, will chronicle my travels to content that many of you have played to death. I won't be running it level appropriate, so I won't acquire the same insight the Questing series possesses. Nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how this old, old school raider reacts to TBC's content.
Of course I am under the gun of Cataclysm's impending release so I better get to work (not because it'll be deleted, but because I'll be busy with that new content)! </sarcasm> If anyone is on the correct side of Magtheridon-US (For the Alliance!) and wants to join me in some Illidan, Gruul and Kil'jaeden destruction feel free to shoot Solidsamm an in-game mail. Now for the magic words, free achievements!
This should be enlightening.
