WoW Moviewatch: Walter…about marriage
World of Warcraft, T.V., and some good comedy. What more does a guy need?
According to Walter, one of the characters of the ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, a new wife.
Of course his marriage isn’t something that most people experience (at least I hope not, I’m not there yet, but will be someday relatively soon). But no matter what and how bad his personal problems are, they get a few chuckles from me.
Legs over at put together today’s featured piece with Walter as a small gnome and Jeff Dunham as a bald human with a black beard, all set to the audio track of one of Dunham’s bits. The video itself is pretty well produced, however it could use a better audio recording of the shtick. We previously featured legs when she gave another one of Dunham’s characters the same treatment: Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
This video is pretty safe for work, but that might depend on where you work – it’s nothing that you wouldn’t hear on Letterman. So you should be safe.
One of the things that caught my attention in this most was the hand gestures and movements that

The Light and How to Swing It: Uncle
Uncle.
I cry uncle.
Please, Blizzard, no more. I’ve been extremely understanding of the nerfs done to the Paladin class as a whole, intended to reduce the so-called “dominance” of Retribution in PvP. I’ve always said Blizzard was doing the right thing and was on the right track towards balancing the class. I celebrated the fact that Paladins were actively tuned and assessed — it was a refreshing change of pace. When nerfs were done to the class, I supported it because I valued game balance.
But now this. I’m tired. I’m broken. This latest nerf — intended for Retribution but affects the entire class — has brought me to my knees. Blizzard has found a way to undermine Faith, and I no longer feel the comfort and safety of my Divine Shield of naiveté. In fact, right now I feel quite vulnerable with Forbearance, and the weight is quite heavy upon my shoulders. Right now, I just feel really disillusioned, disappointed, and lost.
Avenging Wrath
Didn’t we go through this already? Avenging Wrath’s viability pre-Echoes of Doom was

Ret pallys are ruining pvp testing
You guys aren’t being reasonable, so I doubt I’ll respond again by asking horribly slanted questions. Let’s have honest discourse or none at all.
Argument 1) A ret paladin can divine shield and kill someone immediately in Arenas. The higher HPs of people at level 80 with resilience gear in conjunction with the critical strike decay as one levels will lessen the odds of that. If you looked at the paladin forums, then you’d notice that paladins are asking for the double damage component of seal of the crusader on a stunned target to be removed. We agree, our burst is too high, and ghostcrawler has stated that Blizzard feels the same way. My first post asked that you realize changes are coming, but slowly and that is the price of testing during beta. All of the same weakness still apply to ret paladins, and once the burst is removed a healer will still be able to just spam heal and outlast their damage output.
Argument 2) A ret paladin should never have that level of damage being a defensive support class. I’d agree except where is our defense? Most utility is
