Games too I suppose

Bit bored, so I decided to use it for games as well. Been playing some L4D2 (which I managed to convince a kiwi friend to gift me, so I have gore coming out my ass) and I gotta say, it IS a lot better than the first. Still kinda stupid that they were charging full price for it on release, without even a sale for the people who bought the original. Glad I only paid $7 for it. Also, fuck those Jockey assholes.

Also been mucking around since the WoW patch (Yeah yeah I know, you can hate wow somewhere else) and it's pretty funny watching almost every single class just destroy everything. Mages walking around Pyroblasting for 25k and hunters using Explosive Shot that ticks for 15k. Too bad warriors got shafted with armour pen>crit/haste change.

The new druid Eclipse mechanic is interesting, especially since they apparently (I haven't looked this up yet, just going by what friends have told me) buffed the damage of Moonfire/Insect Swarm, probably from the ability to crit and the haste benefit, that it's actually worth keeping them up constantly now instead of just whenever you switch Eclipses. Moonfire also gets to benefit from both sides of the Eclipse bar by having a talent that turns it into Sunfire (does nature damage instead of arcane) whenever you hit a Solar Eclipse. If only my druid actually had good gear and wasn't running around in half resto t9 and half balance t9.

I can't decide whether to keep my mage as arcane or switch to fire. Arcane has some hilariously high hits (60k Arcane Blast anyone?) but fire has the benefit of being able to do some (quite a lot actually) damage while not casting, especially since you can just spam scorch while running. I suppose I'll wait until my next raid to see. Incidentally, if anyone is recruiting a somewhat well geared mage on Jubei'thos (Horde or Alliance, I've been meaning to swap recently) I'm quite open.
