Episode# 19 is now live and available for download. We continue our series on parties by changing EVERYTHING we said last episode…thanks Blizz on the timing on that GAME-CHANGING function we now call the Dungeon Finder. Despite being a bit late, you can still find some helpful information on this great new toy for finding other parties in the game.
Enjoy!

Back in the saddle again!
That’s right…AT&T came through on their fourth attempt. I’ve rejoined the land of the internet at my new place which means that we’ll finally get back to recording the podcast. Expect an episode by the end of the week!!!
Say it with me: AT&T stinks!
Alright, I know some of you may be employed by or support AT&T in some way, so I don’t want to offend you. However, AT&T messed up my internet installation three straight times…their fourth time is this upcoming Monday.
Unfortunately, without internet access, podcast recording is difficult, if not impossible…so our next recording had to be pushed to early next week.

A word about our "advertisers"
Hey folks, just a quick heads up. To help offset the costs of hosting and recording costs, we decided (long ago) to use Google’s Adsense. Until the time that someone sees fit to support us financially, we have to use the internet’s tried and true method of ad marketing.
Unfortunately, Google’s adsense takes keywords from our website and links in advertisers automatically,...
The Snarl Chronicles: Issue 4
Okay, I posted this in our Guild Forums, and I thought you fans of THE STARTING ZONE might get a kick out of it. We’ve all been there. The Event / RAID / Dungeon was scheduled a week in advance. You’re all signed up. You’ve watched videos, tweaked your gear, re-specced, posted on forums, bought stuff off AH. The day of the Event / Raid / Dungeon arrives, everyone is summoned,...
Snarl Chronicles: Issue #4
Well, for old times sake, I lead a RAID through NAXX last night, and it was great to see some NEW PLAYERS tackle a 10 Man Raid for the first time. We forget that not many new players get a shot at a RAID leveling 1 - 60 and surprisingly it doesn’t happen very often either 60 - 80 despite the BC content available. So, some of us more experienced RAIDERS ventured in and did the Safety Dance...
You Haz Forum Postings?
Do you post on forum? We all know the wonderful reputation that the official World of Warcraft forums have for demonstrating the ideals of collaborative discussion and personal etiquette. **Former Sentence Coated in Sacrasm**. Forum posts are a big part of the extended WOW community. Unfortunately, they tend to resemble trade chat more often than not. The intention of course is that you post a...
Contribute to a Segment: How do you Like 3.3?
Okay, it’s been out a whole week, we’ve seen some issues with the start up… that whole authenticator problem. We’ve seen some hotfix patches already. We’ve also seen the awesome new LFG tool. So, what do you think?
Happy New Year!
To all of our listeners, we just wanted to say Happy New Year and thanks for making this past year a wonderful experience for us. In our first year of existence, our listeners showed us that there is still a need for helpful advice out there in the World of Warcraft and we look forward to continuing along those lines in 2010 and beyond.
Thanks for your patience this Holiday season as family...
