This is a post to let you guys know far in advance that I will not be able to log in for an entire week starting March 15th. I will be in Cabo San Lucas, lying on the beach and drinking margaritas until I can't feel feelings. 

Good luck, kill shit.

I've been approached by many people regarding the ol' Cubes and thought I'd get my ordering/building system back up and going again. WoWCubes are back up and ready to be built for any and all that are looking for top notch raid performance. 

Quick Specs:

• Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit
• AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.1Ghz Dual Core CPU
• 2 GB of DDR2 800 RAM
• Radeon 4850 1GB video card
• Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
• 460W Power Supply

This will be more than enough to tackle any and all raids we encounter at high frames (with pretties turned on!). WoWCubes I sold last summer continue to perform solidly in ICC, and this version is even more powerful than those. Every 'Cube I build, I hand tweak all network, video and audio settings to ensure they're tuned for the most performance possible.
The price is $699 + $35 shipping and handling. To place an order, simply PayPal me using: bloomcb@gmail.com
If you just want to build the thing yourself, PM me on the site and I'll send you the parts list. 

these fucking cookies. They are totally ruining my diet. Ugh, now I have to go jogging like an extra 5 miles tomorrow.

Most of you have probably noticed the "Buy A Fucking T-Shirt!" block in the upper right hand corner of the site. This is an often requested feature and I've never really had something to point people to until now: http://www.cafepress.com/downfall All proceeds from the sales of shirts (and, soon, other schwag) will go to pay for the site hosting fees as well as Ventrilo and any other technical stuff. 

Something you may NOT have noticed is that the site is now serving Google Adsense ads. Log out and check out a strat page (like: /Toravon) and you'll see (sort of) relevant ads being displayed to the dozens of thousands of visitors we get every week. Log back in and you'll never have to deal with them!

Next up: The Downfall Video Section (no, really!). Coming soon.™

Edit: new dark df logo for the shirt:

We Said We'd Be BackAaaaaaand we're back. We've moved to a new host and hopefully our massive lag is a thing of the past. I'd like to thank our new host, WebFaction! Let me know what you guys think.

Edit: There is currently an error when adding new content to the site. Please test this for me by adding a Blog or Forum post and look for the huge red error text at the top of the screen.

Edit 2: Part of the errors I'm getting are related to the (admittedly) humongous guild app fields. If you guys could all go to /node/add/guild-app and get me some feedback on what fields we should take out, please post here.

Got this in the mail a few minutes ago:
