So I guess occasionally I say shit that kind of works well for a meme. I dunno, when I'm yammering shit in Vent during raids sometimes it's just stream-of-consciousness. Usually I'm looking at a few different things. Sometimes I don't even remember what I just said! Also, I thought "/target Right Arm, /cast Fuckbolt" was funnier than "THE WHOLE RAID" but what do I know?
Ok, annoying inside jokes aside, hey, we killed 3 bosses tonight!
First up was Kologarn. Like Razorscale (at least from 10-man experience), a lot of this guy is simply about not doing the wrong thing. So until people learn that, you're going to wipe because DPS is on the wrong target, or healers aren't healing Gripped people, or people get Eye Beamed, etc. Once we sorted that shit out, he blew up.

Loot! -
Idol of the Crying Wind (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45270) - Novo
Gloves of Unerring Mettle (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45262) - Rokni
Bracers of Unleashed Magic (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45275) - Gli
Fragment of Val'anyr #1 (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45038) - Choram
Next up, the worst pull since Majordomo - Auriaya.
Basically, once you figure out how to do the pull without one or more tanks getting oneshotted, this fight will fall over. Assuming the adds don't inexplicably respawn on you midfight. They did for us! Yay first week bugs.

More loot! -
Stonerender (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45315) - Zwingley
Siren's Cry (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45327) - Loktera
Amice of the Stoic Watch (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45440) - Notaryn
Finally, we get to the "meat" of the instance, the four Watchers. First up for us was Hodir, because we heard he loves to have his spear thrust and his helm polished.
Pretty simple fight, looks chaotic but actually isn't that bad. Plus, huge Thaddius-like numbers are fun every once in a while. Only took us two pulls for him to fall over, but it's easy to see how the eventual hard mode is going to buttfuck us for a bit.

EVEN MORE LOOT! -
Frostplate Greaves (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45452) - Noxnia
Conqueror's Deathbringer Robes (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46137) - Malvagio
Conqueror's Deathbringer Robes (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46137) - Briio
5 bosses in 2 nights, not too shabby. On a whole, Ulduar is very much a step up from Naxxramas, but (now that a few bugs have been sorted out) isn't so hard as to be immensely frustrating. The normal modes should feel like cake in just a couple weeks, and then comes the gearing up process towards the eventual hard modes. Interesting (and not overdone) trash, teleporters throughout the instance, and fun new boss mechanics = awesome raid.
