Normal mode Ulduar-25 clear!  Yogg-Saron was defeated in Ulduar-25!  Congratulations!  Also!  Firefighter-10 was defeated!  Holy crap!

Winamp before we started the fight randomly selected the metal song [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vqTHkbpOr4]Arch Enemy - The Last Enemy[/url] to play.  This song is from the "Rise of the Tyrant" album.  (Tyrant?)  The song's lyrics in the chorus are:

Chaos Emerges
Surrender, I will not.
The Last Enemy is Falling
Here I stand, to Conquer Death Itself
The Last Enemy is Falling
Here I stand, to Conquer Death Itself

Yogg-Saron is the Old God of Death, there's quite a bit of chaos in the fight, and he of course is the Last Enemy of Ulduar.  (Not counting Hard modes and Algalon.)  That's pretty crazy, right?  Even crazier that we actually defeated him.  On the "last attempt."  We like do do that.  Everyone played well.  We had reached phase 3 several times, it was a matter of perfecting phase 2 and getting the transition right.  (Also, making sure that our tanks don't get crit.  That was weird.)  In the end, Bloodforged stood over the corpse of an Old God.  We fully cleared ToCr-25 afterwards!

Happy Birthday, Bloodforged.  We've been at this 4 years.  I think downing Yogg is a pretty good birthday present!

Congratulations!  (Special thanks to Pitchifus for helping coordinate the main raid group!)  We'll tackle some Ulduar-25 hard modes now!
