There is no cover up, there is no conspiracy.

There is no running commentary.

(but we did it anyway)

Lich King down.

Now the mainstream press has cottoned on to our rather illustrious guild.

Yes, that headline does refer to us. (7th item under Drama).

The number one google search result for “raid like little girls” is a reference to us.

About bloody time we got the recognition.

Anyway, onto our exploits!

We have been raiding new stuff.

…and we have been raiding old stuff.

Old stuff even rewards free stuff.

<IMPORTANT! Note to Think, find pic of Ironbound Proto-drake before publishing>

Should I mention the rogues had a homoerotic Tricks of the Trade macro war?

We went from this;

To this;

You’re right, I should probably keep that private.

Officer chat remains true to form. We discuss many and varied things in officer chat in a civilised and polite environment.

Discussion of UI Bugs.

Our interest in our members cultural background.

Engaging discussion of the strategic aspects of the Twin Val’kyr encounter.

Leadership disputes.

Raid make-up discussion.

We’re still exploring Icecrown Citadel at the moment but I thought we were a bit overdue (as usual) for an update.

Here is a glimpse into the slick inner workings of the upper echelons of the Pitch Black power council. This is your tax dollars AT WORK.

We have a proud Naxxramas heritage here at Pitch Black, having cleared 6.66% of the instance the first time around.

We fared somewhat better this time.

Naxxramas cleared.

This is where I am going to put a killshot of KT when someone sends it to me. Until then, you get this;

Malygos down.

Sartharion down.

I present the first winner of a Twilight Drake, Balthasar.

Manas, this one is for you;

Pitch Black now awaits new content!

But we all know the reason why we bought the expansion, right?

10 achievement points.

Hello LK, we’ll see you a bit later on, ok?

(Just let us gear up first.)

Let’s call it a content accelerator.

That being the case, the remainder of Burning Crusade content falls fast.

Eredar Twins down.

M’uru / Entropius down.

Kil’jaeden down.

The Burning Crusade was long and grueling (Gruuling?) and overall very rewarding. Well done to all those that stuck with us the entire way and to those that joined us along the way.

See you all in Northrend.

Felmyst down.

With Mount Hyjal and Black Temple behind us, we’ve been throwing ourselves at Sunwell lately.

Umm… OK.

Brutallus down.

They say Kalecgos isn’t a gear check. It didn’t stop us from trying new things.

Sathrovarr down, Kalecgos saved.

In other news, when I told Ronninscrave to grow a pair, I didn’t expect this.

Congratulations Ron, well deserved.

I’m sure a lot of you are asking the question.

Of course it is.

Before I start, just how does the game pick Battleground leaders? I submit that the current system doesn’t work.

I’m going to break with tradition and put the big bad guy up the top, and the minions below.

Illidan Stormrage down.

From Ragnaros to riches, Pitch Black has come a long way from its’ humble beginnings as a Zul’Gurub PUG. As for milestones, this pbcrew.net domain was registered on March 11th, 2006 marking the Pitch Black crew’s first foray into 40-man raiding. This also makes the 11th of March, 2008 our “official” two year birthday.

Thanks to everyone, members both old and new, you make us what we are today.

Illidari Council down.

Reliquary & Mother pics to come.

First of all, a spotlight on our beloved Bubbles.

Bubbles, I think you need to shave.

Yes, I was wearing Latro’s a little longer than would reasonably be expected, but I have my reasons.

Progression has been swift lately.

At least, swifter than my updates.

Anetheron down.

Kaz’rogal down.

Azgalor down.

Archimonde down.

Mount Hyjal cleared, now off to Black Temple. They need a taste of my updating power.

High Warlord Na’jentus down.

Supremus down.

Shade of Akama down.

Teron Gorefiend down.

Gurtogg Bloodboil down.

And just to top it all off…

Zul’jin down.

Since the deal with Mountain Dew fell through and they no longer manufacture our official drink, we have decided on another, more adult beverage.
