You Might Be A Death Knight
I will freely admit that I’m no black belt when it comes to playing my Death Knight. My skills just aren’t where they should be, compared to a PVP or raiding Death Knight. In my defense, I don’t really get to hone my abilities by harvesting crops on my farm, or posting things on the Auction House. Running dailies is all that keeps me from forgetting my basic priority rotations. Still, if I had to run a five-man I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t embarrass myself. Which is an accomplishment in itself, because if there is one thing I do have a black belt in, it’s embarrassing myself.
Doesn’t everyone drive around with toilet paper wrapped around their head?
But my lack of razor’s edge skills could be said for any player who doesn’t play his class very often. You use it, or you lose it. That doesn’t explain why Death Knights seem to get a bad rap on just about every front. There’s no way the lack of 54 starting levels is going to hurt someone’s play style so much that they consistently do stupid shit and embarrass not only themselves, but their class as well.
I could be wrong though. Sihx over at Epic Diapers explains how You Might Be A Death Knight.
The 5 Esses in World of Warcraft
I said Esses, not…. oh forget it.
I happened to be browsing the corporate website at work, looking for the futile hope of a better job, when I saw an article entitled “5S to tidy the mess”.
Well the 5S sounded like some kind of chemical spill to me. Also, rhyming. So double amused, I clicked on the link. Instantly I was slapped across the face with the wet fish of disappointment.
There was no disaster. No chemical spill, or spill of any kind. Instead, there was a picture of a very clean warehouse. The 5S that was referred to was the name of a workplace organization method that used a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. In English, the words are sorting, set in order, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining.
Once my eyes glazed over, I began to think about World of Warcraft. Technically I began thinking about stabbing someone in the neck, but I could only do that legally in World of Warcraft. Once my eyes began to refocus, I looked at the picture of that clean warehouse and wished my character’s bank could be that clean and tidy.
That brought me right around. If I could use Howling Blast IRL, how many walls would it destroy? Also, how could I use the 5S system in World of Warcraft?
The answers were six, and just like this.
