Yes, it is Tuesday, whatever shall you do?

Well, it is maintenance day again. Tuesday is the Hump Day (i.e. Wednesday) of WoW players everywhere. The realms are down, and the children are home from school on March Break (at least in Canada). Fortunately, this past week has been a busy one, and there is plenty of material for you to catch up on while you're bemoaning the maintenance, scheduled from 5:00 a.m. PST to 11:00 a.m. PST.
First of all, you won't want to miss any of our coverage from Sunday's stress test of the TTRs. The GMs were out in full force, pulling all sorts of nonsense.
- My coverage of the event, signed in as <Vehn>.
- Alex's coverage, signed in as <Insideralex>.
- The team's private photoshoot with <Englewood>!
- Our live blogging coverage, hosted by Adam, signed in as <Insideradam>.
It all began as part 2 of Alex's latest Hybrid Theory column, and the frenzy that followed resulted in a follow-up post that somehow has not eased the debate.
For other articles of note, make the jump!
- Learn about the latest keylogger found on sites like Wowhead that will infect your system just from mousing over an ad.
- The Great Panda Debate. Curious?
- Learn how WoW Insider is taking over the world. Srsly.
- Sunday Morning Funnies: Your mom
- Addon Spotlight for beginners.
- A forum post of the day asking, "How did your undead die?"

I will never understand how one can be bored because realm servers are down.

Amen to that -here is my obligatory Tuesday post:
Does anyone NOT know that servers are down on Tuesday? Thank god I have WoW Insider to fill me in on the latest & greatest.
Sigh, I remember when this site used to post relevant news.
Is this post really needed every week?
Heres a thought - use the Tuesday downtime to come up with something new to write on this site.
There are TONS of things to do besides play WoW, people that can't deal with a few hours downtime should investigate this sometime.
As for me, I am going to write a long letter to Blizzard complaining about them having the nerve to take the servers down when I am home sick from work.....
What else will I possibly do with myself?
Sigh....

Yeah I tried so hard to keep up to date with WOW Insider articles because some of them are just wonderful. Alas my unread entries via RSS currently sit at 967. There were 19 articles on 3/8/08 alone.
I am starting to think it's a bit much. Saturation overload...

What a joy it is to be at work getting paid... umm to read WowInsider... while the realms are down.
What a joy it is that WowInsider isn't flagged like every other stupid WoW related site on the planet as a Game Related web site so that the internet filters at work don't block the content. Please never change that. Otherwise I will have to quit my job so I can be at home all the time.

"controversy of the week", indeed.
It's all because Mr. Ziebart didn't take the time to ask a REAL end-game raiding tankadin instead of passing his bias off as fact and he STILL was unrepentant about it, even in his follow up post.
That, and his condescending attitude are the reasons why some of us think of him as a tool that's just trying to stir up trouble.

Here's a crazy idea, when you have your next WoWinsider podcast show, why not invite someone that's tanking at the end game to truly represent the tankadin community and clear up this mess? (i.e. Invisusira or Lore or Aetherial) It would show responsibility and it would show that the writers are willing to take their lumps when they're wrong.

I check http://www.wwsscoreboard.com to see if there have been any records broken.

I wish I could set up a server on my computer to play during down time.
damn

I'll spend my Tuesday wondering how long can WowInsider get away with having two articles about Tuesday maintenance every Tuesday before it gets old.
