Warmaster looking more and more luteshippy

Here’s my version of the story:
0 deaths phase 1.
Then we killed him.

Here’s Zeb’s version of the story:

We beat Zon’ozz Heroic, but still lost to the screenshot boss

Newsies — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:53:49 +0000

On only the 3rd attempt this week Zon’ozz just sort of fell over.

He was probably starving to death because Xeru ate all his cake. Either that or he thought trowbz was threatening to cut his head off and he just played dead.
Either way, what do we care, we got his stuff.

We decided to be too cool for screenshots, so we have something better, courtesy of Larpwalk’s professional skills.

And courtesy of Zebutan, we have a completely accurate and truthful re-enactment of the battle

Potsu wins a Vial of Shadows!

Except not really.

But hey, we killed two heroic bosses. Au revoir Yor’sahj and Ultraxion.
Au revoir…

And we will see you.
next week.

Imagine this, but more dead

Good job everyone.
Especially Bones.

Hero Squad Rockin’ Ice

Newsies — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:49:28 +0000

With all the grace and aplomb of a monocled rhinoceros unable to pay his tab at a Michelin rated restaurant, Hero Squad has once again found themselves atop a mountain of dead heroic bosses. Starting with a driving attempt on Lord Rhyolith that would make Billy Joel blush, we brought that big silly bastard down on his big red butt and ransacked his corpse for everything it was worth. Unsatisfied and full of rage, we tore through a few regular modes and bested Majordomo in one-versus-twenty-four-and-a-half combat (with all apologies to our “little person” raider Scoregasms).

The highlight of the night came when our very own Shadow Priest extraordinaire Muertedolor received his legendary weapon in the center of Org. Soon after he received it, we popped over to the training dummy where he let his cat walk on his keyboard and posted a quick 30,000 DPS number to everyone’s great delight. We are now armed with the Wrath of Tarecgosa and the Firelands will soon be extinguished.

Heroic Shannox Killerated

Newsies — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:58:46 +0000

Hero Squad downed Shannox on heroic difficulty on August 23rd. We put in a solid 22 attempts– most of which were wasted on trying to get the raid to perform a complex dance which involved moving in and around a series of geometrical shapes designed to keep the Riplimb tank away from Shannox and moving Rageface into crystal prison traps.

It took us about 18 attempts before we realized that we’re all terrible at dancing and math. A short argument on the differences between acute and obtuse angles led into a long discussion where we ultimately decided to try our oh so solid Vegas strat. We traded in our protractors and tap dancing shoes for some swords, magics, and a pair of tunnel-vision goggles and soon enough Shannox found himself on a one way street to frown town.

Enjoy the video of our first kill in 1080p =D

Hero Squad downs Ragnaros 25m

Newsies — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:57:33 +0000

After a few weeks of wipes, summer MIAs delaying a few good nights of practice, Hero Squad downed Ragnaros in 25m Firelands Thursday August 11th. Several members of Hero Squad were interviewed after the kill and here’s what they had to say.

“Killing Screaming off is the best strat Hero Squad (read: Hero Squad’s Healers) has ever had. Letting her die has consistently proven to be the go-to plan for downing the minions of Firelands” – Replica

“Finally we went with my strat of assigning everyone to one add for the transition phases. Everything I say is right I don’t know why it takes the officers a couple weeks to come around. Also thanks to Henqetnetjer for the constant encouragement.” – Bonesalot

“I eat a spoonful of paste right before every execute phase” – Muertedolor

“fuck” – Screaming

Hero Squad’s first kill can be watched here in glorious 1080p.
