First ilvl245 Item
Only thing new achievement wise is [Crazy Cat Lady (25 player)] but we cleared Ulduar 25 tonight up to Yogg/Algalon tonight. So we’ll have a full night Sunday for Yogg, can’t wait to get him down.
We had the 1 Light encounter at 2% when he enraged last week, so we were close. Aside from that, I need Kologarn and Iron Dwarf achievements to complete my meta.
Uriahworld the Exalted - 8/13/09 (No Pet Out)
The new chest piece I’m wearing is the [Flowing Vestments of Ascent] (ilvl245) from 25man Normal Trial of the Crusader. I still keep my 4/5 set bonus from T8 because I was wearing all 5 prior to this new loot from Icehowl.
In other news, I went ahead and bought the remaining Netherwing Drake mounts that I was missing (5 total for 1000g). I’m sitting at 78/100 Mounts for [Mountain o' Mounts].
Rusted Proto-Drake
Oh yes, I’m now riding around on my new [Rusted Proto-Drake] mount.
What does this mean? It means that I’ve completed the [Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player)] achievement! Our guild 10man knocked out every achievement needed for this mount in less then 5 hours. (I only needed about 1/3 of them but some folks got all of them in one night!)
I’m super psyched to get this done… not only is it a nice feat but it’s also a 310% mount reward which makes my first “extremely fast” mount. I missed out on the pre-patch 3.1.0 meta achievements and now those mounts are not available anymore.
Where is there to go from here?
Well, there is Algalon (which I almost have my own [Celestial Planetarium Key] finished) to complete. Not to mention the [Glory of the Ulduar Raider (25 player)] which we’re currently working on during our official raid nights. The only hard achievement for 25man I have left is Yogg-One Light in the Darkness, aside from that it’s just Iron Dwarf Medium Rare, Disarmed and Crazy Cat Lady.

Twilight Vanquisher Uriahworld
It’s about time… Today I pugged 25man OS 3 Drake for my [The Twilight Zone (25 player)].
Another Title to add to the collection (Click for Larger Image)
Despite the new title, I’ll stick with Uriahworld the Exalted for now.
Steelbreaker & Yogg 25man
We’ve been working on Yogg-One Light these last two raid nights this week.
We had him down to 2% Monday night when he enraged on us (and basically one-shot everyone). But it was past offical raid-end so we activated the other 3 keepers and wiped-out Yogg since the reset was tomorrow. We do not plan to use the new extend raid-lockout feature becasue that would shut-out Algalon for another week (you only have one hour to defeat him per lockout).
(Screenshot coming soon!)
The real excitement of last night was the first hour because it was the first time I had seen the Algalon encounter (in-game). I have yet to fight him in 10man but I feel I was prepared for 25man; The fight is simple just like many players will tell you and how guides/videos will point out. It’s all in the execution, not much of a learning curve at all.
I do think that doing the Assembly of Iron with Steelbreaker last is a very ‘on-edge’ fight. I am glad we did it though, just the positioning keeps your attention but it’s not too bad once you have the strat down. We did Steelbreaker Sunday night, prior to our Yogg tries.
G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra – Movie
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra surprised me; It was better then I expected going into the theater.
From what I read, it’s pretty much nothing like the original G.I. Joe concept. But if it had to be adapted to today’s standards then I think it was a job well done.
Athene’s Legendary Midget Humpers – Video
Athene is crazy as ever with his latest video (stream). More at http://www.worldofathene.com

Freya & Vezax Hard-Mode (25man)
Freya 3 Elder
Tonight we conquered Freya with 3 Elders up along with General Vezax on hard-mode (Saronite Animus)!
That’s two nice progression pushes in one night so it was a great feeling to get those out of the way. We’ll be doing Yogg-One Light Sunday or Monday so I’m looking forward to that.

In other news: Back to Ulduar 25 tonight! I’ll be in from the start this week with the guild.
Edit: I have a new round of achievements from today’s Ulduar 25 seen below:
New Guild Tag
I’m now officially an applicant of <Bad Mojo> the guild I was recently trying-out with over the past week. The app process can take up to a month from what I read, so I wonder how I’ll do.
I meant to post this after I was tagged (guild invited) Sunday night. Sorry, been busy – side note: Patch 3.2 should be live when I wake up Tuesday! Expect some info on that soon.
Funny People – Movie
Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, & Leslie Mann did not disappoint with the latest movie “Funny People”.
I just got back from watching it and I’m still replaying some good scenes in my head as I type this.
8.5/10
