something should be written here but for the life of me I just don't have any ideas. check back <eventually> and there should be some sort of witty statement from me.

SO there should be a Saurfang post here (we killed him!) but it is way too fucking late for that, so I'll do it tomorrow or something. I don't know.

ANYWAYS in the mean time I am going to post a bit of news that I wanted to post a while ago (read: a week or so), but didn't think about it again until...2:27:55 AM, that is how I operate, people.

Lots of you know Aseelah. She is a ROWG. or, rather, she WAS a rowg. Now she is a doodad. She pretty much summed up 2009 for the Pancakes in a post a while back, and now I am posting it here, for those of you who missed it, or those of you who are outside the guild and wonder what exactly we do during the day.

Without further ado, Pancakes 2009 In Review!

• In 2009 :

  We got many new members to the guild.

  Toast turned 12 (again) and became a published author.

  Jot's beard ran away....or was it stolen while he slept? Maybe it left in anger when he turned Orc.

  Ono's name mysteriously changed...and though we dont discuss it much, I think he got a sex change too.

  Many of you attended our first PanCon in California....though Grim should never be left unattended again.

  Lyo and Mrs Lyo were blessed with little Lyonaisse.

  Nerf and Atro joined our ranks...I'll never look at a cookie the same way again.

  DS joined our ranks...and now we have a DICK in the guild.

  Leaky came along and taught us all how to "Superman dat Ho"

  Sor is still aptly soothed by Southern accents.

  We had our first Naked Belf Race as part of our First Anniversary celebration and Nih created a great video to capture the events.

  Shal is now known as Madame Shalini, Seer of the Stars, and...That poor Girl that has to put up with Nak.

  Nak is known as ...That Lucky Bastard that gets to be with Shal.

  Lenox is still looking for the right chat channel.

  Vux's dps went past the 25000 mark this year, and he swears the 327, 648 mods he uses has NO part in it.

  Our Little Gethy went to Cali this year and became a MAN....that constantly sings about a horse. ( Did he slip off to Tijuana when no one was looking?)

  Nih is still a Rotten Bastard and original member of the Pancake Foodies Club. DS, Sor and others joined the club quickly.
  I heard they worship a poster of Anthony Bourdain, but thats just rumor so far.

  Druids in the guild multiplied. We can't talk about the Moonglade rituals that caused this phenom...just a lot of naked druids romping in Moonglade.

Thank you all for a great year. Can't wait to see what this one brings.

Couldn't have said it better mahself, See. Here's to 2010, more boss killing, and one big cataclysm!

Until next time (tomorrow HARHAR),
Toast Witjam

SOME OF THEM HAVE FOUR SKULLS.

THIS GUY DID. Well, you can only see three in the picture, as far as I can tell. But he had four. Trust me you guys, I am Educated about things like this.

After that guy died (Although you kinda have to wonder if he was ever really living in the first place, I mean he was just kind of bones and wings and Oh God What A Cool Axe), we walked up this ramp and then we were in this other room. There was some bitch in that room that gave this really aggravating speech for two days, and then we killed her. But we forgot to take the picture because we were so excited about moving platforms, so here's this consolation picture of my UI and the room we were in. I'll update it next week or something, probably not though.

And then we took an elevator and went outside and there were some Alliance dudes. We killed them, I almost shit my pants because a dragon snuck up on me from behind, and then we got on a boat. Here is a picture of us being on a boat.

I think that is all for now, there will probably be more pictures eventually.

Until next time,
Toast Witjam

P.S. Assrockets.

Short, sweet, and to the point; more to come by Thursday, hopefully.

Until next time,
Toast Witjam

Well, it's finally done. Ulduar(25) cleared. It's been a long, and interesting road. With our first Flame Leviathan kill the week after 3.1 was released, it could be said that we've had more than our fair share of struggles with the Prison of Yogg-Saron. Or, as Ono put it, .

The Lag Narwhal did indeed play a very large role in the problems we faced throughout this instance. Indeed, there were times when the prospects of other guilds threatened to tear the Pancakes apart.

But, through all the ups and downs, we have persevered and come out on top. That's not to say that we didn't learn a few things along the way, both about ourselves and the game. Allow me to show some examples.

"BUT TOAST," you're asking (I can see it in your eyes), "WUT IS WE GONAN DU NAO, YOGGY BAER ES DED LOL!" That's a good question. Our focuses now turn in two different directions, to be honest. For the longest time, we've had Yogg in the back of our minds, always there, but never really able to be trounced by the various members of Pancakes.

As the weeks and months roll by, and we steel ourselves for the upcoming Fall of the Lich King (aka 3.3, yes that's its name), prepare to see two different directions as we move forward.

• Ulduar Hard Modes (ultimately culminating in Algalon the Observer, by far the most beautiful encounter this game has yet to offer)

• Trial of the Grand Crusader, one of the most familiar and yet vastly more challenging instances we'll be facing in the immediate future.

I won't lie to you: We've reached a stage in progression where things stop becoming so easy. Encounters are about to become a whole lot harder. As a guild, we will be tested, and I do not doubt for a second that we will pass these tests. Amazing work on Yogg-Saron, let's see some more.

Until next time,
Starcaller Toast Witjam

P.S. Hard modes, depending on what they are, might not get denied anymore. But you gotta be online or we're never going to see them.
