Another shout out to Daily Kos' Wreck List guild. My death knight reached level 68 last night.
I've decided that I'd like to unofficially name this diary "Politics in Plate Mail." If there is a way to officially change it on the page, I hope someone will let me know.
For a couple of years now, my favorite activity in World of Warcraft has been tanking. I want people who don't play WoW to get something out of this diary also, so let me explain what I mean. A tank is that idiot in a group battle who runs up to monsters and yells "booga booga booga" at them, inducing them to punch him in the face repeatedly.
Needless to say, this isn't for everyone. Every group needs a tank, but most players aren't enthusiastic about doing the job, which has led to a noticeable shortage of tanks in the game. That is precisely why I, liberal minded fellow that I am, decided to dedicate much of my game time to tanking.
Continued below the fold.
