Friday night, the 7th of December, my wife and I were home to cradle our 4 year old Bengal Cat, Samurai, as he died. He had a massive heart attack due to heart disease.
I know, if anyone ever reads this, some idiot from the web will make fun of laying your feelings on the line.
Fuck them.
Samurai was so freaking awesome. He played fetch, he was huge and beautiful, had teeth like a tiger, and absolutely had the coolest personality.
We miss him so much.
This is just one way of grieving, and I wanted to let him know I miss him.
Long Live Samurai.

Season 3 Is Here
So the real test came and went. Week One of Season 3 is drawing to a close, and let me tell you, we all found out what the Gladiators could do. The extremely well geared and highly trinketed/enchanted Gladiators from previous seasons, along with their uber scripts are, wihtout a doubt, insane.
There was one group, a hunter and a discipline priest, that we could not, no matter what we did, beat. In retrospect, however, the hunter was using a bug to beat us. He would be mana burned and mana drained until he had nothing, and we would be doing great, when he would use Feign Death and immediately pop into a sitting position and start drinking. By the time we retargeted him, he had gotten at least two or three ticks off and had 800-1200 mana again. From a friend who plays a hunter, we discovered this was a bug that had been fixed in PVE, but not PVP.
Shit like that is ridiculous. I cannot, however, fault him from cheating. It's what people do. And, yes, it is cheating.
On the whole though, after we saw how the dust settled, Dato and I discovered that what we thought was a shitty week of playing was actually good. We stopped at 1700 (1733 was our high) and saw over the ensuing days that the average score on our server was far below that. Indeed, people with scores similar to ours beforehand landed at least 50 to a 100 points below us.
Now, as for the new spec, it works, and it works well. We still have trouble with druids. They just suck. Rogues annihilate Dato, and sometimes I just can't save him. His spec is interesting - he can do so many things, but rogues just eat him alive, much as warlocks eat me alive. And shaman...they suck, too.
I think with a little more practice, and once the uber teams leave our range, we might be able to make our way back up to 2000 again.
We haven't done 3v3 yet, as Fishhead got married this weekend. Good for him...but there goes the gaming.
