t's be honest here.  It's been a pretty solid 4 months or so since the release of Warhammer Online.  Sure there's been the down moments.  (Zone crashes, short login queues, gear grind?, lack of 6 man)  All in all though, I must say that Mythic and EA have done a pretty solid job. 

Think of all the good there has been.  CONSTANT updates.  Every single week there are several patches fixing problems.  That to me shows responsibility to your community.  A community which is growing quite s…  More

Well it's been a damn long time, but my hiatus from the blog is over!  Not that anyone really cares though...

So, where have I been?  Welp, lets see......  I've leveled 4 toons all the way to 40.  Rune Priest, that I am currently having a blast on.  Witch Hunter, that I duo with a buddy of mine with.  Iron Breaker in case we need a tank.  And of course I finished off the Engineer. 

I'd have to say that so far, and as surprising as it is to me, the Rune Priest is my favorite class.  Who'd…  More

Here we go again...
So, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I have returned. I've been staring at this page for a while now, trying to decide what exactly it is that I want to say regarding WotLK. What "colorful metaphors" should I be using this time, how many animals should I sacrifice for the success of my blog, and just who the **** green-lighted this sack of **** anyway? Those of you that know me, know that I run in high-end circles for both PvE and PvP. I'll cover both topics, but I'll sta…  More

The long awaited Paid Character Customization is finally up and running and it's not everything that people wished it would be. The biggest feature that a lot of people were hoping for was a Race change, but it seems that you are stuck with your ugly Tauren or short-ass Gnome for now. A sex change however, is not out of the question.

Well, I quit Warhammer a bit over a week ago to start WoW again with RAF.  I might have been finished with Mythic, but they certainly weren't finished with me.





My petition was that I couldn't bind keys to my mouse properly, letting them know they didn't have support for side mouse buttons outside of the obvious workaround.

I got a very blizzardlike response, telling me to delete my WTF and WTB folders -- I mean telling me how to change keybindings.

That itself is not humorous, but take a closer lo…  More

In the harshly competitive MMO landscape, where huge financial hurdles and the mere existence of Blizzard's World of Warcraft make any new release seem hopeless, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has taken its first few steps toward establishing a healthy playerbase.



Hundreds of thousands of eager gamers have been following the progress of WAR as it moved through development, into beta, and finally release in September 2008. …  More

As I mentioned in my last post, I ended up canceling my WAR account for now, and going back to WoW for WotLK.  Even though I went out and blew 40 bucks to buy the game again (I sold my original account), I was pretty sure i'd shelve it along with WAR in a week or so, disgusted I bought it again, and go pub some more CoD4 or DotA:  I couldn't have been more wrong.

I attribute this mostly to blizzard's new Recruit-A-Friend money-making scheme I mean promotion. The basics of the promotion are as f…  More

Been leveling my engineer, 24 and climbing, hopefully will be 30 by the weekend.  Best part about it, did at least 90% of it completely through PvP.  That is something no other MMO can claim, that I've experienced at least. 

Sure PvE MAY be a little quicker with a more steady stream of xp, but the xp you can gain by running a solid guild group, or even a semi decent PUG is just amazing. 

For example, at level 20 it takes roughly 120k experience to level.  LOSING a Mourkain Temple (T2 Scenar…  More

I can finally say, definitively, I am completely through with World of Warcraft.  Finally a sigh of relief...probably 2 years to long in coming.

I must say though, I had a blast in the time I played.  Leveling to many characters to count, PvP'ing when it was actually fun (not in a BG or arena), and countless memories of raids when raids were a good time.  I'll give it to blizzard there, they certainly had a game that gets you addicted quick.

Now for my next gaming extravaganza, Warhammer Online…  More

NOTHING IS GOING RIGHT.

1)  First, i make this semi-nifty new banner for my blog with my 1300 rated photoshop skillz, its covered in DoK stuff, and i've stopped playing my DoK in favor of my magus, so, ****.

2)  Me and a friend afk macro'd some tor anroc because that place is ******* stupid, (him more than me) and he ended up getting a 5-day ban (THANKS SLAPPYWAG, DICK) j/k.  So now i feel like a douchemitten, whatever that is.

3)  So I started playing magus, and at first I thought that everyon…  More

Rob Pardo from Blizzard recently sat down with Wired and talked all things Blizzard; Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, WoW and Blizzard movies.

It has become a sad day in PC gaming thanks to the likes of Mass Effect and Spore that a game's DRM, or lack there of, is a key selling point.  One of the points Wired made sure to ask was Blizzard's plans to protect Diablo 3 and what kind of anti-piracy measures they would take. 

The answer was straight and to the point.  There won't be any of that DRM junk arou…  More

Fair warning, more EA douchebaggery is contained within.  If you are trying to like EA again and maybe check out games like Dead Space you may want to avoid today's EA beat down.

The latest trash coming out of the PR machine that is EA and their CEO John Riccitiello comes via Gamasutra.  The main topic for discussion was Spore and the whole anti-DRM campaign that pissed over the games fan base earning the game a heavy beat down in the gaming press and via Amazon product reviews.

Blizzcon news is still being unearthed from over the weekend even though the show is long over.  Saturday a little read tidbit came in regards to WoW and some leaked data files in the Lich King beta. 

There were files mentioning "paid character customization" within Lich King so WoW production designer J. Allen Brack was questioned in regards to such a feature.  According to War Cry.com he first left the question and alone and avoided it. 

"Several questions later, he went back to the matter…  More

If any of you have visited the WoW forums today you may have seen these already, those that haven't, enjoy the news.

I can't help but snicker at these requirements.  I realize most of you don't play this for the graphics but damn, this is some old ass tech.  They should make sure the next expansion features the "engine overhaul" that has been rumored for some time. 

Most modern games have higher minimum specs than these recommended specs.  *laugh*

Blizzard was awarded 6 million dollars today in the case versus the WoW bot MMOGlider.  Come on in and vote and voice your opinion.

I still find this to be a terrible judgment call regardless of the issues MMOGlider may or may not cause to the game system.  Ars Technica summed it up pretty nicely back in May as this judgment makes a mockery of copyright law.  The fact is according to this case we are all in violation of copyright law for any program we use (all of them) that stores itself in R…  More
