Less than one hour until the launch of Diablo 3… I’m pretty excited about this – how about you?
As many of you may have noticed…things have been awful quiet around here lately. I haven’t had much time for gaming – but whatever time I have had to kill bad guys (or talk about killing bad guys) – that’s been going on in Diablo III.
I am excited about Mists, but right now my main focus is on D Monsters (as my son calls it).
My 4 year old killing bad guys in the D3 beta...parenting at its finest.
Garwulf on the Twisted Nether Podcast
I’ve been asked to appear on the Twisted Nether Podcast later this month, which will be on May 26th (at 8pm PDT…I think). I’m not sure what Hydra has in store for me, but it should be a fun time.
Forum Login Issues
I’ve had a few of you send me email – complaining about an issue with the forum preventing you from logging in. My apologies. I was previously unaware of this error – and I did try to correct it – but apparently the issue persisted. I’ve been so busy with other things lately that I haven’t been on the site too much, which is why I didn’t follow up on this.
However…tonight, I believe I pinpointed the problem and I think it’s resolved. Those of you unable to get into the forum area – please let me know if you’re still having trouble logging in.
Alright…well that’s about it for now.
30 minutes and counting…

Hey, folks. Sorry for the lack of posting around here, but I have great excuses…trust me. I really haven’t been able to play much in the past few months, but I did log on today for a bit – and – I also managed to update my UI download on WoWInterface.
If you’ve been using my UI, then you might be interested in a couple of the minor changes I made…
Clicky to make bigger
The biggest change is probably the addition of Capping – a BG timer mod. It also adds some additional skinning abilities to the zone minimap – which I took advantage of. My UI is now configured to display a perfectly scaled zone minimap – in the space where Omen lives – whenever you’re in a battleground.
Apart from that, I adjusted the positioning of the action bars and cast bar. I bumped the action bars up a bit, so they’re a tad closer to the unit frames, and I moved the cast bar down and made it larger. It’s a subtle change, but I like it.
I also removed the Clean Icons pack from the download in order to get the zip file down to a reasonable size. Those icons are not necessary, but they do add a little extra sum’n, sum’n. If you want to include them with the UI – so that it looks exactly like my setup – then you’ll need to download the Clean Icons – Square pack. Stick them in: World of Warcraft\Interface\Icons\
MMO-Champion recently posted a compiled list of all the class changes that are in the MoP beta. I’m not sure how new all of these hunter updates are, but regardless…I’m just now seeing them for the first time. I’ve been out of the WoW loop for quite a few weeks now, but I hope to return to re-enter the loop very soon. Recent developments in the RL have rendered me loopless – as far as WoW and MoP news is concerned.
Some of the damage modifier updates are interesting, but I’m mostly curious about the new skills – and updated skill mechanics. A lot of this damage stuff will change as they continue to tune things, so I’m not going to worry about that stuff too much until the expansion is ready to launch.
I’m a little behind on the recent wave of MoP updates, but for those of you who’ve seen this…
Ummm…is that what I think it is?
New Spirit Beast or just some flashy non-tamable NPC?
If this is in fact a new Spirit Beast model, I imagine a few of you out there will probably want to tame it.
Yeah…that has to be a new Spirit Beast in MoP. Introducing that tiger model into the game and not allowing hunters to tame it would just be far too cruel.
It only took me nearly a year and a half, but I finally went through and performed a complete update on my Hunter Power Auras page.
I was maintaining my complete sets of strings on the page, but today I decided to update the entire guide — individual strings, descriptions, screenshots, etc…
I also removed the dead wood, so no more Aspect of the Viper or Dragonhawk auras…lol.
I’m not relying on the addon quite as much as I used to, but I still like it for monitoring a few different buffs and alerts. I’ve gone to using Raven a bit more for monitoring buffs, but Power Auras is still an awesome addon for a number of things.
Sorry the update was neglected for so long, but hey…I have only so much time to spend on this stuff. I’ll try to be more on top of it when Mists of Pandaria hits, but we’ll have to see. Things are a little topsy turvy right now in my world.
If something you've read on here has enhanced your enjoyment of the game, consider dropping a couple of bucks into my tip jar. Your contributions help to offset operating costs and also encourage me to write more guides and helpful posts. The information and advice I offer here on the site is my gift to the hunter community, but it's always nice to be recognized for some hard work. ;)
