Shadowstorm

Choo-choo is pretty much my pet name for Cho'gall. The reference to the first part of his name is obvious, and he generally spouts nothing but repetitive noise. When he talks all I hear is "choo choo, chugga chugga chugga chugga".

Anyways, it's been a while since we had anything new to report. Some people quit the game, some new people have stepped up to fill their shoes and we welcome them all. We shall abuse them greatly and hope they enjoy it .

We'd gotten really only one proper night of Cho'gall practice before and that was no great success as we had only 24 people. We had a few off-nights of practice in 10-man which definitely honed our skills for those involved but a lot of people still hadn't done it, including our new tank on his first Cataclysm raid. Yes, he went splut ignonimously a few times.

The raid actually went very smooth, bringing us to Cho'gall in 1.5 hours with no wipes, just a few accidental deaths. I figured, we'd take a short break and get some proper practice in, figuring we might need some more. Well, we did, but that practice turned out to mostly involve phase 2. Barring a few accidental tank deaths which the healers got sorted, the attempts showed marked progress, bringing us first closer to phase 2, then into phase 2, and on what was likely going to be the final try of the night, in true Shadowstorm tradition, we killed the big ugly cow. No offense to any Tauren out there.

Also, there's a screenshot!




Congratulations Shadowstorm!
