Nostalgia time! This old song by Myndflame, featured at the end of Illegal Danish: Super Snacks, brings back all kinds of memories — horrifying memories of eternal frustration with having to summon roughly 34 people to Molten Core because they were too lazy to get there on their own. Really, guys? Really? You know the locks have to burn a shard for each of your lazy butts, right?

Speaking of raiding, let’s take a peek at some posts from around the blogosphere on that topic, shall we?

Priest With A Cause killed Deathwing and shares some thoughts on how she feels about that.
Boozekin has the classiest guide ever to jumping into the Raid Finder and clearing Dragon Soul.
Glow’s Branches offers an excellent post all about examining those pesky World of Logs parses.
Lastly, hey! MMO Melting Pot is now taking nominations for what you think are the best blog posts of the past year.

The Daily Quest: He says he’s very sad

WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

The thing to remember when you’re watching Freakazoid is that trying to make sense out of the nonsensical is an exercise in futility. The thing to remember with the new Raid Finder is that expecting organization and efficiency is also an exercise in futility. Embrace the nonsense and you’ll love Freakazoid; embrace the chaos and you’ll love the Raid Finder.

Today, we’ve got a few more posts from around the blogosphere discussing the joys of the Raid Finder feature.

Rank 4 Healing Touch has a wonderful guide on guiding your PUG to victory.
Priest With A Cause tried out the Raid Finder and shares some thoughts on the experience.
World of Matticus throws out an amusing list of 11 Raid Finder personalities you will never escape.

The Daily Quest: Good for me

So have you tried out the Raid Finder? Or maybe just the raid itself? Did you get any good stuff? Or heck, have you found your perfect transmogrification set yet? Patch 4.3 has been nothing but a ball of fun so far as far as I’m concerned, and everyone else seems to be having a good time too — but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about, of course. Check out these posts from around the blogosphere for some frank 4.3 discussion.

Orcish Army Knife points out that transmogging heirlooms isn’t really that big of a deal.
Tree Heals Go Woosh is uncertain how to feel about the new Raid Finder feature.

The Daily Quest: Faire and fairness

Darkmoon Faire is pretty cool, but the music on the island is absolutely amazing. Though some are grumbling about the length of time it’s going to take to grind out tickets, one thing’s for certain — this isn’t going to be content that you can blow through and subsequently get tired of in two weeks’ time.

On the other end of the spectrum, the blogosphere’s been abuzz with chatter about Raid Finder exploits and those who’ve taken advantage. Today, we’ve got a few posts that address both!

Priest With A Cause shares some first impressions on the various features and personalities of Darkmoon Island.
Gauss’ Adventures in World of Warcraft highlights what was done about Raid Finder exploiting.
Flavor Text plays devil’s advocate with a fascinating piece in defense of exploiting.

The Daily Quest: Dragon Soul-searching

WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

One week into patch 4.3, and my raid guild is already 7/8 in normal mode 25-man content. Keep in mind, we aren’t really one of those hardcore progression guilds; you could probably get away with calling us semi-hardcore. Three nights a week of raiding isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things. It seems a bit odd that we’re so far through the raid already, but at the same time, it’s normal mode content.

Speaking of Dragon Soul, today we’ve got a collection of posts from around the blogosphere discussing the latest raid to hit the world of Warcraft.

Dwarven Battle Medic shares some first impressions with the Dragon Soul raid.
Jinxed Thoughts has some thoughts and impressions of every encounter in the raid.
Falling Leaves and Wings dispels a few myths about raiders and offers a brief and simple guide to killing Yor’Shaj in the new Raid Finder.
Blessing of Kings thinks that Dragon Soul is correctly tuned, at least from the 25-man normal mode perspective.

Let’s take a break from all the patch 4.3 commentary. Well … sort of. Today I’ve got three very different sort of posts from around the blogosphere that talk about an assortment of subjects. While two discuss 4.3 in a roundabout kind of way, the third is a long look into the nature of corruption and the various corruption-themed story arcs in WoW. All three are pretty insightful, that’s for certain!

Sheep the Diamond discusses the nature of time travel in fiction, particularly in WoW.
Herding Cats talks about the fine line between too easy and too difficult when it comes to heroics.
Parallel Context takes a look at the Burning Legion and the cycle of corruption in WoW.

One of the highlights of the new 5-man heroics was hearing Illidan affirm the fact that yes, I was prepared. It was a nice little wink back to the Burning Crusade trailer, and it made a heroic that was already wildly entertaining even more fun.
