Dreary day in WoWtown
Apr. 10th, 2009 09:17 amI knew about this, but haven't had a chance to comment on it: Big Red Kitty quit blogging last week.
He was an inspiration. He was abrasive. He was quite a smart ass. He was way too raiding/PvP/theorycrafting/numbercrunching-focused for my personal taste, but there was still something just so damned inspirational about his writing.
He brought the hunter pride. He was a bold voice of representation for a class that will always, I suppose, bear the stigma of "easy-mode" and "huntard" because so many people who don't give a damn about the intricacies of the class or the beauty of WoW seem to choose it. Those of us who truly love the mechanics and synergy of playing a very diverse pet class had - for a while - a damn fine, loud-mouthed champion in BRK.
He's moving on to put his family first (the most noble cause there is) but the World of Warcraft blogging community will be a bit less rich, less outspoken, and greatly saddened without his posts and podcasts.
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
