Devil’s Advocate – Someone who takes an opposing position for the sake of argument, regardless of whether they agree with the stance they defend or not. This column will do just that, take a point of QQ and argue the opposite side.

“A bright and shiny new day. I feel like playing some World of Warcraft.”

“Now. Who shall I play today? I think my Paladin, let’s see if I can get a raid group and beat up some monsters. I certainly hope I don’t run into an awkward player demanding insane achievements.”

Achieve This! Gurubashi Arena Grand Master


December 27, 2009 at 11:34 am by

It’s the festive season, a time of goodwill and friendship. A time of giving and receiving, and all the joy of spending time with those you love.

Alternatively, a time of free chocolate and some PvP.

If you’ve run far too much Wintergrasp and whatever in hell the battleground is this weekend, and you’re looking for a change, why not turn your attention to the relatively little-pursued Gurubashi Arena Grand Master achievement! It ticks all the right boxes. Killing? Check. Standing about tensely hoping someone else doesn’t kill you? Check. Torturous timed events that you miss at your own peril? Check. What more could you want from your Christmas holiday?

Let’s get cracking. Cracking. Like a Christmas CRACKer. See what I did there.

Our Survey Says: Holiday Blues


December 23, 2009 at 12:30 pm by

Brewfest 2009 marked the first time that those players devoted (and lucky) enough to have completed all of the seasonal meta-achievements were able to get their hands on a genuinely stunning mount, inspiring awe and jealously in those around them. I myself know a depressing amount of people who fly about on their violet drake at every opportunity, often just because they know I want one.

On the other hand, maybe getting the drake first time round isn’t so fun now that everyone else is running about (or sitting still disguised as a snowman, whatever) getting their Winter Veil achievements the “lucky” few have nothing much to do.

So which camp do you fall into? Is Winter Veil achievementastic or just one long wait for your  BB gun?

How are you enjoying the world events this time around?

Achieve this! Pest control


December 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm by

Pest control is an achievement currently close to my heart as my lovely London pad is suffering a slight mouse infestation, I have found throwing books helps (and have so far managed to take one out) but at present I am far removed from my original plan of naming them and feeding them cheese.

So, don your hazmat suit and equip your swatter and bug spray offhand to get down and dirty with the pests of Azeroth.

Achieve This! The Cake is Not a Lie


November 27, 2009 at 3:45 pm by

Achievement points, cake, and geek references all in one. Who wouldn’t want this achievement?

At first glance, your task to bake a declicious chocolate cake may sound simple. If you’re lucky enough to own the recipe then it very well may be, but if not you’re going to have to rely on motivation to do dailies, a bit of luck, and most likely a lot of chilled meat.

Famous for 5 minutes: Dorä the Explorer


November 23, 2009 at 9:53 am by

Most of us half by accident and half by action have completed the “Explorer” achievement, added a new title and tabard to our collection and felt a little sensation of self satisfaction that comes from spamming guild chat. However for Dorä, a level one human Paladin, its not quite as simple as mounting up and racing around uncovering previously unexplored territory.

November 20, 2009 at 9:43 am by
