  1. @Mordigrim Touché! Seeing too many “LF Tank/Heals SLabs" posts from oh-so-long-ago completely blinded me to the lack of the ‘s’ in Labyrinth. I’ve learned something today. Thanks! 1. My wife would say I’m a good husband and an awesome dad. She’d also tell you that I over-analyze way too many decisions and even though she’s pregnant with our second child, she’s already dealing with two kids in the house. There are times when she’s not wrong about that. 2. Is this one of those “terrible cooks” shows where I’d at least have a chance of being competitive? If so, look out for my grilled cheese sandwich! There’s a solid chance it wouldn’t be burned on at least one side, which is all you really need for a good presentation. Fortunately, large amounts of melted cheese can make up for many culinary shortfalls. 3. I’m a bit disappointed that these aliens that abducted my family don’t seem a bit more sinister as I couldn’t, in good conscience, send in my first pick for inter-species negotiation, the DOOM space marine. In light of their apparent harmless nature, I’ll bring Optimus Prime with me. He has experience as a diplomat, possesses an innate physically intimidating presence and, if this harmless abduction turns sour, he can handle himself in a fight. Sure, he’ll start the fight by losing but he’ll pull it together in the end and get everyone back safely. @Devotional 1. You may have stumped me on the embarrassing fashion trend. Jeans/shorts and t-shirts pretty much cover my lifelong fashion choices. That said, I showed up to my first date with my eventual wife in jeans and a sweatshirt. She later informed me that her first thought was, “THAT’S what you chose to wear on a first date???” so maybe there’s something there I should be embarrassed about…but I’m not. 2. I understand. You’ve no doubt found yourself on the wrong side of an altercation with another mammal and are desperately searching for someone who can come to your aide. Well, friend, if that mammal is the size of a small poodle or a de-clawed sloth, there’s a good chance I’m your guy! And if we’re talking a hamster or gerbil? Just stand back and let me take care of business. Of course, if you’ve gone and upset an aardvark, coyote, monkey, tiger, elephant or the like, might I suggest you stop searching online for people who can punch it out and instead search for a decent firearm? 3. We’re still working on first name options so…maybe? As I’m quite certain I won’t be the one making the final decision on the name though, I can’t promise anything. You should know that my first round of suggestions (Thor, Optimus, AaronRodgers) were all shot down before I even finished speaking them so my powers of persuasion in this matter may be limited.
  2. Hi all! I’m Fulkrum at the moment (my handle has changed a few times over the years, usually to whatever my WoW main is at the time) but I’ve also gone by Matt for the last 40+ years so feel free to use that if you're looking for something more permanent. I’ve been playing WoW since late Vanilla and joined my first guild after being recruited out of a Shadow Labs run in BC. For the record, SL is still the best dungeon ever made. I ran with that guild until they disbanded in Cata and haven’t really had a guild that felt like “home” since. I’ve had stints in short-lived guilds over the years but have largely lived the casual solo/pug/LFR life from MoP onward. I’ve raided primarily as a healer and tank but am comfortable in DPS roles as well. I’ve served as a healer office and raid leader in several raiding guilds, though it’s admittedly been a while. WoW isn’t terrible as a single player game but there’s only so much to do solo (unless you’re an avid collector like my wife and obsessively farm mounts, reps, pet battles, etc.). The best part of WoW for me has always been working with a group to overcome those things you can’t do alone and interacting as a community. You don’t get that in LFR and I miss it immensely. I was attracted to your guild by what I’ve read in your CoC and seeing the genuine interest you show in getting to know recruits in your forums. It's easy to say you have a mature crowd with a no drama, people-first view but your guild's longevity and forum activity leads me to believe you live by those standards, and I love that! I think I could be a great addition to the group but welcome any questions you may have to better judge that for yourselves. Outside of WoW, I’m a Wisconsin native currently living in the Chicago area but still supporting my Wisconsin sports teams. My wife and I have been married for 10+ years and we have a daughter rapidly approaching her terrible twos. PC gaming is my preferred way to unplug after a long day of work and/or chasing my little imp around. My other hobbies include…well, see that part about having a toddler in the house. I do manage to sneak in some Overwatch, especially at this point in the WoW expansion cycle, but that’s about it. One thing I do feel compelled to mention is that my wife is currently pregnant with our second (and definitely last) child, due in March. Judging from the last one, I anticipate that my raid availability will take a hit for at least a few weeks after he’s born when sleep becomes the top priority for any moments of down time. If that absence is not something you’d be comfortable with, I’d understand completely. That’s my story. Looking forward to (hopefully) getting to know all of you!
