WORLD OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT RELEASED!

A Brave New Beatdown


A squat grey building of only two-hundred thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, Central Thunder Bluff Tomfoolery and Skullduggery Centre, and, in a shield, the Beatdown Brigade's motto, NO FATTIES!

Bent over their keyboards, three hundred haggard nerds slaved, as Thunderpyle the Director of Spankings and Inappropriate Touching entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. A troop of newly arrived n00bs, very young, pink, and callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director's heels. Each of them carried a notebook, in which, whenever the great man spoke, he desperately scribbled. Straight from the horse's mouth. It was a rare privilege. The D.S.I.T. for Central Thunder Bluff always made a point of personally conducting his fresh n00bs through the recent trials of the Brigade.

"I shall begin at the beginning," said the D.S.I.T. ...

ETHICAL TREATMENT OF WORLD TREES IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE
We all know the story of Archimonde's downfall at the Battle of Mt. Hyjal many years ago. Historical documents would have you believe that his crushing defeat was due to the efforts of Jaina Proudmore, Thrall, Tyrande, and Malfurion. Others assert that Malfurion called forth the power of the night elf ancecstors to defeat the demon. Some even say the forces of Mother Nature herself rose up against Archimonde, refusing to allow such a gross defilement of nature to occur.

The historical accounts are all slightly different, but what they all fail to mention is that the forces battling Archimonde owe much of their success to a small, but aggressive environmentalist group, whose mission is to save trees at any and all costs. Their name? The Beatdown Brigade.

10 Things I Hate About Azgalor
Azgalor. The popular girl. Ugh. God, I hated her- but it seemed like nothing I did could keep her from the path to the glory of Prom Queen.

It's not fair!
If only I had a pretty face like her, I could get all the boys too...

RUMOURS
Mingling amongst the common people of Azeroth in the past weeks and months, I've heard a great deal of speculation as to the reason this news page has remained without updates. Some of these rumours have not gained traction among the general populace and merit no response from me. I would, however, like to address one particularly persistent rumour: that I was replaced by a robot with no capacity for feeling or creativity. You'd think this fanciful fearmongering would be laughed into obscurity on its face: after all, do I look like a robot to you?

PICTURE_PROOF_NOT_ROBOT
Hmm, that can't be right. I replaced that helm months ago.

There. Now we can move on to more important things than ridiculous allegations that I am not in fact made of meat but instead am a GM-1 (tm) construct using the novel technology recently patented by Beatdown Brigade Labs, LLC. Information about the corporation, including our mission statement and recruitment, can be found in various high-end scientific periodicals. To order one of our constructs, please dial

Hmm, what was I saying? Oh right, boss kills. Read on...

I'll get to the vicious and thoroughly untrue rumours surrounding my absence on the news page in another entry. First, how does a guild go from this:


Ouch.

to this?


Youch!

Read on to find out.

Conspiracy!
Rumors are flying that some upstart guild, one month after turning over half its members, is running wild through the Tempest Keep and practicing extreme violence in Mount Hyjal. Is there any truth to this? Your faithful correspondent went undercover to find out.

DLK + DW down!
After a successful raid in SSC, Beatdown hit the road with our friends in <Invictus Mortem> and got our first kills on the two Burning Crusade outdoor bosses, the Doom twins- both one-shots with no prior experience on the bosses.

Thanks Trespasser for original top screenshot, and Pojung for original bottom screenshot
Doom Lord Kazzak and Doomwalker enjoying refreshing, restful dirtnaps.

Fishsticks are back on the menu
After a week off, Thursday's Vashjectomy went off without a hitch. In true BB style we put her to rest on the last pull of the night, right at 11. Also in true BB style, Wawwior took a dirtnap, though he was his usual frisky self for our killshot.



Congrats everyone on a job well done. Oh, and don't knock my screenshot with nameplates. They contain all kinds of useful information...



On to Tempest Keep! Go read strats (assuming we ever post them).

A joke
Knock Knock.

Who's there?

You Only Live Twice
Or at least this guy did.



Grats to the guild for an 11PM kill. Grats to Sub on his ring and Keiji on his axe.

Many raiding opportunities coming your way next week. Go sign up!

World: ending. Skullcrusher: down.
Looks like the authentication server is down for Skullcrusher (IT'S BACK UP NOW!):

Anyone know how to work one of these things?

Not to worry, Drysc is on the case guys!!!
" We're investigating the cause of some players being stuck at the "Authenticating" message when attempting to log in."
Fascinating. Thanks, Drysc.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled on the forums for updates. We'll make a call as to whether we're raiding or not as it gets closer to raid time.

UPDATE!!! The servers are up and the raid is on.

While the Ox is away, the raiders play. I think. Details after the jump...

SSC Beatdowns
I miss 2 raids and what happens? Morogrim: dead. Karathress: dead.

That makes 3 new bosses in 7 days, and we mopped up all 3 of them again tonight (with time left for Gruul and his little Ogre bitches). I should leave town more often! Congrats to all the raiders and planners who made it happen.

Morgrim Morodies
I thought about going to Feralas and giving Morogrim the Hydross treatment (see below). However it might be a little too dishonest even for me, given that...

1: The pictures wouldn't include Morogrim.
2: The pictures would include me (and I wasn't there).

Nonetheless congrats to everyone on giving Morogrim the Beatdown treatment. Next up is a wickedly brutal fight. No, it's not Wawwior vs the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Go hit the forums and see what's in store.

RIP Hydross
Hydross requires awesome coordination, and killer DPS. Apparently we have both, because he's dead. Unfortunately, I didn't bother to get a screenshot, so we're going with the America's Most Wanted method.

Here's me tanking Hydross and all 4 of his adds at once. God damn, I'm a beast!


Here's me celebrating a job well done.


Congrats to Wawwior on not getting crit anymore with his new trinket. Congrats to Shadowsorrow on his boots that will make him both more shadowy and more sorrowful. Sign up for Tuesday and we'll drop this chump again.

And whats next? Read on...

Recruitment is Open
Interested in a guild that gets stuff done, gets bosses down, and leaves the petty bickering out of it? Ready to see how you measure up to our best players as we quest for glory? Well Beatdown Brigade is the place for you.

We may not have the #1 recruitment website out there (wanna see who does? Apparently these guys do).

Anyway, you can't hold our website against us (at least we have one, unlike some guilds). We're currently looking for the following raiders. Are you one of these? Head to our recruitment forum or hit us up in-game.

1 Resto Druid
1 Resto Shaman
1 Mage
1 Hunter
1 Enhancement Shaman


Oh and it looks like, thanks to my link above, we'll need another tank too...
Posted on 31 May 2007 by Ox
Mag's adds down!
and with them out of the way...



Seriously, it only took 2 attempts at phase 2. Doesn't it rock when we raid? There was some loot. A staff? Xarr got a ring (but not the ring he really wants ).

Next up, SSC. Hit PvE tactics for info and go sign up!

Beatdownbrigade.com back online!
Yes, we're back in action.
Thanks to the effort of everyone, besides Mogorrani.
He's just a slave, I tell ya, a damn slave!

And guess what, it's exactly two years ago that this site started, hurray to us.
