This week, I thought I’d cover the topic of “Raid Texting”.  I know many of you out there do it!  Don’t even try to deny it!  Things get a little slow, you get tired of pressing the #2 on your keyboard, so you start chatting it up.  Might start off as a whisper or two, then after a while it progresses to an all out chat-a-thon with multiple chat tabs going with a dozen people… and that’s when it happens… you don’t even know where you are because you put the auto-follow on the priest and everyone around you is dead and angry.

Raid Texting is the leading cause of wipes!  So please, save the chitchat until after the raid!

In related news… Coffin Comics is now on Twitter! (lol, c wut i did ther?)

Melee Mage

Melee Mage

Least he had chicken?  Sometimes, just for fun, my little Mage likes to go fisticuffs style… mostly just miss, but sometimes he’ll land a right cross to the chin for a whopping 1 damage (critical of course).

Now then… With the recent changes announced to the Paladin class, I knew I had to make this comic asap (you know, before everybody forgets about the good times).

So, as a Paladin with buff QQs as my anger management trigger, I have definitely passed out Might to every caster in a raid when bombarded with a million whispers for Wisdom or Kings.  Seriously, after a wipe or when getting set up, wait for everyone to get in before begging for buffs.  Because 10 seconds later, someone else will waltz into the instance and be like “Hey gang, how bout some buffs?”  XD

Heaven forbid you put the wrong buff, Wisdom or Might (or even Kings) on the wrong person!  That’s grounds for all out war!  But them crafty minions working at Blizzard decided to combine them, specifically, to curb my buff rage issues. Heh.  >)

For the record, this is a reference to Legend of the Seeker.  I got totally addicted to that show after practicing my insomnia skills on Sundays… it was like, Xena but with more slow motion.  If you are new to the show, or will be soon, the first season was all about the slow-mo jump attacks!  I’d love to recommend making a drinking game of it, but I don’t want to be responsible for any alcohol poisoning incidents.

Ooo, Awkward!

Teen Wolf season will be upon us soon, so in celebration, I thought I’d give a little nod to our hunter friends out there.  I’d also like to offer my condolences to all of you out there that were able to tame Garwal and, as we all know, were stripped of such an awesome Worgen slave pet by the brass.

And in such a horrible way too!  I mean, they took his talents, they took his abilities, and then made it so he can not be fed!  So he starves!  How terrible!  Come on Blizz, at least have a message come up that says, “Your pet ran away and is living happily on a nice farm somewhere… eating grapes… drinking martinis…” something like that!  But no… he starves…  >(

I wonder though, would it be bad form if a Worgen hunter has a Worg pet?  Like a Dwarf with uh… a pet rock?  Something like that… >)

LFW

Well gang, Coffinshaker is looking for a little assistance.  Been looking for job for a little while now, you know how things are, so I got the bright idea to put my resume up here.  My hopes are that maybe someone out there knows of or works for a company that is looking to hire.  And who wouldn’t want their ol’ buddy Coffin workin’ with them?  Hmm, maybe that’s not a good selling point… anyways, it’s worth a try!

So I digress, if you will notice, there’s a temporary page up on the menu bar now that will take you to my LFW page.

So, if ya think you can help, check out the page Coffin-Comics.JesterBrand.com/LFW

Night Of The Noblegarden

by Coffinshaker on April 9, 2010 at 12:00 am
Posted In: Comics

I know there’s no holiday boss this year for Noblegarden, but it seems that every year they add more and more bosses (ie Valentine’s Day) for the seasonal events. Which gets me thinking, what if they added a boss for all of them?

Couldn’t you just imagine? Taking down The Gobbler on Pilgrim’s Bounty Day for your Gobbler Clobberer or getting together in a 25man raid to defeat Khan the Lepper on St. Patrick’s Day for his epic gold loots!?

So as the holidays pass, in game or not, just give it a thought… what challenges the Blizz might have in store for us next!

(And just to clarify, in case I’m the only person insane enough to have watched this movie… this is a reference to Night of the Lepus. A movie so epic in its badness that it’ll be forever burned into my mind. And I’m sure everybody knows the other reference. Left to right; Hallow’s End, Midsummer Fire Festival, Brewfest, and Love is in the Air.)

Transcript: English

Puter Update!

It is done… the construct has been assembled and all systems are a go! This thing flies! Can’t wait to start working on it… but uh… I need sleep. I’d also like to give a big ol thanks to my friend who helped me put this together since I seemed to be quite the tech-tard with this endeavor.

However, through the powers of the interwebs on fresh eyes, I have noticed a BIG problem! And as your friendly tech-tard, I humbly request assistance with this matter.

I have noticed that there is a color shift when using Firefox on Windows 7. IE seems to show the colors perfectly, as does Safari and Firefox on OSX. Haven’t tried Chrome or whatever else there is… think the PS3 displays it right. See, Coffin’s robes should be a purple color, not blue and the header should, of course, be the same purple as well to match the left and right sides of the window. Right now, on Firefox, I see the header is blueish, the sides are purple, and the colors in the pictures are a bit washed out with a bluish tinge. I embed the color profiles and it looked fine on my Mac, so seeing it this way greatly concerns me, since about 60% of the viewers here use Firefox.

So please, let me know if anyone out there is having trouble viewing these images in the correct color AND if anyone tech savvy out there knows of a good way to fix the color space, let me know.

Thanks!!

Chicken Dance

Chicken Dance

I don’t think they’ve ever seen a real chicken…

Ah yes, the chicken dance… This little quest brought me many fond memories of clucking like an idiot in Westfall. Then you have the Horde… flapping their arms, dancing around, all in a vain attempt to impress a little bird that would inevitably side with the Alliance anyways… traitorous fowl!* Why, I remember back in WoW-Classic, there would be dozens of Allies clucking about trying to get this pet. What a sight!

I know this week is a little bit of an obscure reference, but you all should really watch some episodes of Arrested Development. Another great show cut short by the executive suits… At least there’s a movie coming…

*Of course the good people at Blizzard patched this not too long ago, allowing the Horde to get this pet as well! >D
