||
| With summer going full speed and everyone being drawn out of doors more and more we have suspended our Sunday GDKP run. Also, our recruitment needs have been updated as more spots have opened up to cover for the roster vacancies we have been having. |

| GDKP runs -> Public forums are back, kinda! | Posted By: Wolven at: 22:21:16 |
||
| With the continuation of our GDKP runs for ICC25 we decided it was time to make the public forums viewable to the public once again. To recap: we made the public forums disappear because we had spammers in every thread on the message board and it was really becoming a bigger hassle than it was worth. For now we are leaving the public forums as "read only" but at least it will allow all of our visitors to come and see what is going on with recruitment or the GDKP run. Thanks Mandrake for the fix. |

| Arthas 25 dead | Posted By: Wolven at: 01:25:05 |
||
| The Lich King is Dead. After what felt like a month of roster issues preventing us from even working on Arthas and 2 solid Thursday nights of attempts we were able to finally to get our heads around this fight. Then, to make things that much easier the Hellscream buff goes from 10% to 15% and we one shot Arthas, wrapping up a 3.5 hour ICC25 clear. With tonight's success our priorities will shift slightly as we begin working on the ICC25 HMs and free up some time for other 25man objectives. |

| Journey through Icecrown Citadel | Posted By: Wolven at: 14:36:46 |
||
| Over the last few months our 25m raid team has been chugging along while dealing with roster issues. It has been a factor in slowing down our progress in raiding but even with short-handed raids or cancelled raid nights we are still maintaining a good pace. For those of you who do not know about the latest WoW raid zone, there are 12 bosses with the last one being Arthas, The Lich King. The first wing of the zone, comprised of 4 bosses, was pretty simple. The Plague wing was more of a DPS and coordination check but it wasn't long before we took down the abominations Festergut and Rotface and then were standing over Professor Putricide. That took us to the Blood Wing and The Blood Prince Council. These three Blood Elves, who are all bosses in 5man instances, show yet again that evil Blood Elves just do not like to stay dead. Quickly following them was Blood-Queen Lana'Thel, who was a road block for us for a few weeks. We were often finding that small mistakes during the fight was costing us large chunks of DPS time that would then result in us hitting the berzerk timer and getting blown up by the Queen. This Tuesday though we got a little bit more organized and brought her to her knees. Wing #3 is the Frostwing Halls. The first of the pair of dragons in this wing is a good dragon that we need to save through healing her and we did so quickly. The second dragon, Sindragosa, is considered a lot more challenging. She is another undead dragon and like a bigger, meaner version of Sapphiron she has all the ice blocks, teleports and explosions one could ask for. Last night was our first night to work on Sindragosa and we were pleasantly surprised with our results. With that our 25m team ended the raid week 11/12 on the normal version of the zone. |

| 10 man group downs Arthas! | Posted By: Wolven at: 14:35:51 |
||
| While our 25m team has found its stride we have also had succes in our 10 man teams as a couple of them are now working on the Lich King. Over the last couple of weeks our late night group has been duking it out with Arthas into the wee hours of the morning. Last night riding the wave of success from our 25m raid we were able to walk into the 10m raid and with a few tweaks to how we handled the fight we became Kingslayers. |

| Been a while since the last update... | Posted By: Wolven at: 15:17:10 |
||
| In a way, a lot has happened and yet it has all been pretty tame compared to the past excitement of accomplishing things as a team. Our raid team has been actively working on TOGC25. The Twins were a bit of an obstacle but we got past them shortly after we changed strats. Currently we are working on Anub Phase 3 which means we are really close to a kill. In other news we have a few groups, including one alt group, that are clearing Insanity 10 man runs. Another noteworthy tidbit; The raid team is currently looking to add another Shaman. Ideally a hybrid player who is capable in switching back and forth between Resto and DPS depending on the ever changing needs of the group. If you feel that you meet these requirements please fill out our Recruit application and contact myself ingame after you have done so. |

| Legendary + Heroic update! | Posted By: Wolven at: 23:42:47 |
||
| It has been an eventful week for the raid group. On Tuesday we kicked off the raid with some legendary weapon manufactoring as our team finally got enough fragments onto one person to complete and forged a Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings. With that Legendary business out of the way we then made a point to put our attention onto the Heroic Trial of the Crusader 25 man. Even with trying to fight through the night short handed we still managed to walk away with a kill. Fun times everyone, thanks. |

| Hi to you guys at Blizzcon! I hope you guys are having fun and that you will be able to wash off the geek stank back at your hotel rooms. Be sure to scrub, that stuff is hard to get off. We kept the raid going in your absence and managed to take down another hard mode, Thorim. See you all when you get back, bring pictures to post up! ha ha |

| 3.2 patch - server stayed up! | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:20:26 |
||
| Well, it is not often that we get to raid on a patch day but surprisingly enough, yesterday we were able to do just that. The lag in Dalaran was unbearable but in the raid zones it was totally fine. Thus we were able to go knock out the first of the new raid bosses that was available this week and then head back to Ulduar only to find that XT002 had been changed for the worse as millions of bomb bots were spawned for our enjoyment. We'll be watching for blue posts about this fight between now and Thursday. |

| Ulduar Roundup | Posted By: Wolven at: 09:19:07 |
||
| A couple weeks ago we killed Yogg-Saron and it was a solid victory for our group which has been going through so much rebuilding over the past couple of months. While I was really happy to see the "last" boss of Ulduar go down I knew that there is a much harder Ulduar lying beneath the surface. Last night, in the middle of Stampede week, we rounded up the pose and ganked us a hard mode boss: XT002. This was an exciting step as XT002 is the gear check boss and now that we have him down we can start working on the more significant hard modes behind him. Great raid! For those of you in Calgary, enjoy the Stampede! |

| Ulduar - 2 months in. (give or take) | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:29:10 |
||
| With Ulduar we have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride as a team. First we were all full of excitement at the prospect of long overdue new content after the snorefest of the re-released Naxx. Quickly though that excitement shifted to frustration as we had to shift our energy away from progression and make recruitment and rebuilding our priority. Since then we have had to adjust to rebuilding about a third of our team and last night I think we saw the light at the end of the tunnel, at least for this tunnel. We went into Ulduar and blew away boss after boss and set ourselves up for getting back on track with killing new things instead of just trying to maintain the level we were at. I am really looking forward to the next weeks of raiding as we start attacking some of the challenges of Ulduar. |

| Ulduar - 2 weeks in. | Posted By: Wolven at: 12:32:02 |
||
| The 3.1 patch brought an end to our Heroic: Glory of the Raider meta achievement hunt. It was a good thing in my mind for that to end as we were really just piling frustration on top of frustration as we would have the most random things screw up our Immortal runs: full blown internet lossage, disconnects, lag spikes, random Sapph bombs killing 2 people in an 8 person stack behind a block and other kinds of nasty randomness. As it is, I am glad that is now behind us. Going forward into Ulduar we have taken on the stance of trying to keep things fresh. We haven't been obsessive about playing on the PTR and knowing the fights ahead of time and so far we have been rewarded with a number of kills. As it is right now we have 4 bosses remaining to learn before we go full time into attacking the hard modes within the zone and we are already on our way toward building out first legendary healing mace. Screenshots will be added soon enough. |

| Mandrake Releases iPhone Application | Posted By: Mandrake at: 11:46:59 |
||
| Alright, alright, I know that I probably shouldn't use my gaming affiliations to pimp software that I have made but... So here is the application, the BeefyBoard, a cellular, modular, interactive-odular application for your iPhone or iPod touch that allows you to record sounds directly into one of 9 slots, save those and upload them to the internet. You can also peruse the list of boards that are already up on the internet and download them for your own personal amusement or to annoy co-workers and friends alike. You can purchase BeefyBoard on the App Store or you can go over to our site at BeefyApps.com to take a look at some screenshots and a better description of the application. If you are looking for it on your iPhone if you search for 'beefy' you should be able to find us. Mandrake out. |

| Baby news again! | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:13:55 |
||
| This time it is Gamentine's turn to celebrate becoming a father. Late night on the 17th his wife gave birth to Celeste Angelica. She weighed in at 7lbs 12oz and while she is a few months behind Mandrake's daughter, we fully expect that Celeste will be able to keep up with Evelyn on the video gamer girl training program. Congratulations! |

| Heroic: The Twilight Zone | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:47:09 |
||
| We have been plugging away at Sartharion 3D for the last few weeks but with the holidays we just haven't been pushing very hard to get the kill. Last night though it seemed that our learning hit a critical mass and even with a less than ideal group we were able to stay alive long enough to pull off a kill. For me this is the last major progression item that was on our checklist for the current content. Obviously there is still more to do, namely certain achievements to work on (Immortal), but we can worry about that next week. Good games. |

| I guess something should be said about it... | Posted By: Wolven at: 12:51:01 |
||
| On Sunday we finished all of the remaining heroic raid content for WotLK. It was a small challenge to get Malygos down, in that it took us a few tries to get him, but he still went down pretty fast. It now leaves us in that position of having to wait for new content to be released for us to attack. In the mean time, there are achievements to work on and Alliance to keep us busy. We'll see you all tonight for the start of our first farm run. |

| The newest addition to the Kindread family | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:47:09 |
||
| Last night we had some very exciting news to the founders of Kindread: Mandrake has joined the ranks of fatherhood. Evelyn Dawn weighed in a very happy 7 pounds, 14 ounces and I am sure it is just a matter of time before she has her own handle and is out and about fragging noobs and coining some of Mandrake's favorite catch phrases such as "Who cares about the team, look at my kills!". The new parents are back home recovering and I am sure once they have a moment some pictures will follow. |

| And here are the results!!! | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:53:33 |
||
| Our first night of raiding WotLK 25 man content was both exciting and disappointing. The disappointment was a minor feeling as I just felt that most of "heroic" 25 man Naxx is simply too easy. However, that feeling was quickly dispelled by the fun of kicking ass, taking names and collecting a large pile of loot! In our first night back to raiding we knocked out 10 out of the 15 Naxx bosses, clearing the Arcahnid, Military and Plague wings as well as getting Patchwerk down before running out of time for the night. This means that everyone is going to have to get busy making their 3 level 80 frost resist items so that we will be able to finish the zone. Thanks everyone, I had a lot of fun. |

| Raiding Resumes | Posted By: Wolven at: 13:05:48 |
||
| While I know this isn't some ground breaking boss kill post, I do want to announce the resumption of raiding tonight. I know a lot of us have been really looking forward to getting started again after our leveling break and it appears tonight will be the night for us to get rolling. Next stop Naxxramas, all aboard! |
