Reviews
“I wanted to send you guys an email just saying what a great show you guys do. I’d post an itunes review, but I despise everything apple and cant be bothered to download itunes. What I did want to say was that I love the show, and its pretty much the reason I picked up my hunter again. I gave him a break when wrath launched and started playing my warlock (yeah i know
), and just started raiding/pvping with him again.
ps. here’s a BRK style screenshot fr y’all. :O” – MileyCyrus

Eddie “Brigwyn” Carrington is often known as being that crazy dwarf on Twitter.
He's also a blogger, podcaster (Hosts Brigwyn's Corner, Co-host of Everything Blah! and of course Redneck Geek and Cajun Gamer with his good friend Andy "Daewin" Dino. 
Thanks for the mention.
Just to clarify a little more. I understand built in metrics. If you’re not geared enough to handle a boss/mob, you will be handed your butt. That’s a given. And due to it being built in and not manipulated in thought by the average gamer I don’t see it as an issue.
This is more of a social issue than it is an addon issue. Abuse and misunderstanding of the addon is the problem. If the community can’t check itself, then maybe people will just check out.
Sorry, it sounds a little snippy, but that addon feels like a phantom following me everywhere. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
