It's about 8am and I serious need to get some shut eye. I've had some issues catching those wonderful Zs lately due to me overdosing on good ole stress. Nothing better than questioning if I am going to be able to pay apartment rent, my ISP, car maintenance, or anything else critical.

Anyways, here is a video of my World of Warcraft guild that I lead (guild leader and raid leader) downing the toughest 25 man encounter in the game at the moment. I was very proud of the other 24 individuals who finally pulled it together to down this baddie. We spent about two weeks to perfect the strategy for our guild's composition, along with getting the right people overall. For those that don't know I was handed the guild and had to rebuild the entire thing from scratch three (3) whole days before the launch of expansion pack Wrath Of The Lich King. So the stress of trying to make sure a name that I've associated with myself for the last 3+ years doesn't get screwed over doesn't help my stress level.

The video is from MY point of view. I've spent the last 3 weeks recording and analyzing every attempt of this encounter. I've probably had to delete about 180gb worth of footage. Though being rated #231 in the US after what we've been through is an amazing achievement and totally worth it... I think. =\

Anyways, here is the link:

I uploaded a YouTube video, but the visual and audio quality as horrible, and would appreciate you viewing the video off the guild's server. If you can't, here is the YouTube link:

For those that don't get MMO raiding, the challenge of this fight is to not be hit by one of the ba'zillion possible damaging mechanics. Various adds, voids, fire wall, curses, lava spikes, dragon breath, dragon tail, dragon cleave, and classic aggro management.

Erik out - at least for 2 hours. Then I gotta get back on the job search. Yay for calling human resource departments on Christmas Eve!
