Naturally after the Lich King was downed, we took a break from Icecrown. After a great real life meeting and a feisty drunken stupor, we were at least 30% more motivated to kill things! So we clicked the new HC button and headed back to Icecrown.

After some furious button mashing, the first wing in Icecrown lay vanquished in heroic mode. Are we famous now?

(Disclaimer: Easy Modes Marrowgar and Lootship were downed ages ago already)

The dragons never learn. First Sapphiron, then Sartharion with his cronies and finally Sindragosa got their ass handed to them by the FBF. Why do you make me do this? WHY?! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME LIVE?!?!

...... moving on.

After a nice raiding break during the summer we noticed a whole new raid boss sitting pretty in the Ruby Sanctum. Not too much of a challenge after bonking our heads to the wall in Icecrown Citadel so he fell pretty easily a few attempts later. But all those shiny 271s look so nice and 'purty...'

To continue the tradition of IRL raiding, the members of Finnish Brute Force gathered at the familiar stomping grounds of Asikkala once again in August of 2010. 30 people joined in on the fun and just like last year, many bosses (and potions) were downed, even more Well Fed buffs were administered and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

FBF received a handful of new veteran players and also the official "WoW knowitall" was crowned. All hail Cabbus. You truly have no life.

I'll see you all next year!

After all the servants of the Lich King were vanquished, the frozen Throne opened up and the heroes of the Finnish Brute Force confronted the leader of the scourge. The fight was long and arduous. The necrotic plague, remorseless winter, infest and especially defile claimed their victims many many times. But in the end we stood fast. Arthas has made his last stand and failed. Now it's time to gobble up all the juicy loots the little pecker spewed from his guts. Too bad Tirion accidentally the whole Frostmourne, but we'll make do with the other shiny trinkets we found!

Heroics, here we come!

We were fools who came to visit Sindragosa. Her horrific voice consumed our souls. We suffered as her bad voice talent betrayed us. We could feel the cold hand of b-movie acting upon our hearts. Thus it was decided that the incursion was to end and she was not to survive. We made her feel abysmal voice talents' limitless power and despair. And two attempts later, she was free at last. Holy crap.

Replace Sindragosa voice talent kkthxbi.

Trying to find our way up we seemed to take a small sidestep and ended up in the chamber of the Blood Queen Lana'thel. We got into a little heated debate concerning her master and in the heat of the moment Preda shouted "BITE ME, BITCH!" Well... she kinda did. The weird part was that everyone else started biting each other too. It was friggin' weird to watch. Well it all went downhill from there. After a short tussle, some chocolate cake, several references to my supposedly preferred sexual orientation and a really big spatula, everyone seemed to calm down. Too bad the Queen seemed to bite herself to death. The good news however is that there was some shiny objects which we promptly removed from her bosom.

Well actually the drake is alive and kicking, but dog ate the news we were supposed to post. So here's recipe for a delicious chocolate cake instead.

8 oz (225 g) dark semisweet chocolate (40-50% cocoa)
2/3 cup (140 g) butter
1 cup (210 g) sugar
4 eggs
4 heaped tablespoons (1 dl) all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons sour cream

Good evening. May the Lich King slaughter the living! After the unfortunate accident suffered by Dr. Putricide, the once raised princes Valanar, Keleseth and Taldaram decided to follow their great inspiration and join him in an another death by committing suicide. Rumors concerning the involvement of Finnish Brute Force have been greatly exaggerated and should be disregarded as false Alliance propaganda.

All hail the Lich King. May his scourgy scourgeness scourge us all!

Good evening. All hail the one true King! Professor Hubert Maximillian Putricide was killed yesterday in an unfortunate accident. Dr. Putricide was reportedly concocting a new plague to eliminate all life on Azeroth, but his glorious research was sadly interrupted after he slipped on his own oozes and choked to death from inhaling his own gasses. His glorious sacrifices to the Scourge shall be forever remembered. Eye witnesses have reported seen five members of the Finnish Brute Force inside Dr. Putricides' laboratory. The inquisitor hotline is open for any tips regarding some stolen PHAT LEWTS and equipment.

This has been the ICC News. May the Lich King protect us all!

Finally the gnomes blasted their heads hard enough to the next door of Icecrown Citadel.Soon after this the Finnish Brute Force rampaged through to the domain of Professor Putricide! After killing their ugly ass dogs, Rotface and Festergut got a wee bit pissed off so we had to put them down. The bastards gave us a small ride, but eventually their corpses littered the floor. And magically we found cool trinkets and weapons in their bellies! Whopee!

Putricide'll be dead in a moment.
