AFR #230 – Stromgarde Abbey

This is my preferred explanation for why pretty much nothing has changed in Arathi Highlands since vanilla.

Cataclysm retrospective: dungeons

<<First comic <Previous comic | Next comic> Latest comics>>

It was really hard to get people used to using crowd control in dungeons again when Cataclysm came out.  Eventually most people got the idea.  Then I would occasionally take my tank in a dungeon and find everything cc’d, and we would have to fight over whose cc would get broken first because we had to kill something.

AFR #163 – The old and the new

<<First comic <Previous comic | Next comic> Latest comics>>

Sometimes, the worst thing about WoW is the other people who play it. From the pug who rolls need on gear he’s already wearing to the guy in trade chat who just didn’t get the memo that the proper time for “anal” jokes is never, our fellow players can sometimes really wear on the nerves. At those times, it’s important to remember that sometimes the best thing about WoW is the other people who play it. As the old year comes to an end and the new year begins, join me in raising your glass in a toast to all the people who make our WoW lives better. Here’s a glass of the best holiday spirits:

To the guy in general chat who makes you laugh,

To the guildie who is always on time for raids,

To the friend who’s always up to go on a random with you,

To the pug tank who doesn’t let an add run free,

To the pug healer who keeps you alive, even when you step in the fire by accident,

To the pug dps who knows how to cc, switch to adds, and stay out of the fire,

To the guy who takes the time to explain the fights ahead of time,

To the person who won the roll for the gear you wanted, then traded it to you and said: “here, you need it more than I do,”

To everyone else in all of Azeroth who makes our time there better, awesomer, and more fun.

And from me, here’s a special toast to all of you who have read Away From Reality, to those of you who have added your comments to the discussion, to all of you who have linked to AFR on your own comics, blogs, and sites.

Happy new year!

AFR #114 – Doing it

<<First comic <Previous comic | Next comic> Latest comics>>

Morgatha is one kinky girl.  Not to mention creepy.  She’s… uh… creenky.

I can’t claim credit for any of the “This class does it…” jokes.  Those have been kicking around forever.  Even the ones I did come up with on my own are obvious enough that I’m sure lots of other people have thought of them before.

AFR #80 – Elementary education

This one is in honor of Coleur (Moonrunner), who probably wishes she could do this to me all the freaking time.
