A Month at Warcraft

I decided today that I’m going to resubscribe to WoW until Aion Online launches in September.  I’ve been dangling dangerously at the precipice of resubbing for a while now, especially since MMO-Champion leaked all of the details on the upcoming expansion but what officially made me take the dive was visiting a couple of friends …

Because I would be remiss not to mention it, WoW: Cataclysm is coming! There’s a lot of great stuff headed our way that should make leveling 1-60 almost a completely new experience. I can’t wait. There’s too much information for me to review here, so why don’t you head over to WoW.com and check out …

Well, it took a little while but I’m finally having fun playing online multiplayer for an FPS. That’s actually the main reason for my absence yesterday. A little bit of history might help explain the situation a little bit. My history with First Person Shooters goes back to the days of Doom. I loved that …

Why should some roles be more difficult than others?

August 17, 2009

by

During my World of Warcraft days, I heard an interesting description of the three trinity roles. It went something like this: DPS is a game, healing is a challenge, tanking is a job. That’s a pretty poignant assessment of the classes most of us play if you think about it. The description holds water pretty …

Thank you to Keen and MMORPG.com for the tip because now I have a good reason to get excited. More information on the new World of Warcraft expansion has leaked out and it looks like old world Azeroth is in for a bit of a makeover. According to MMO-Champion, Deathwing and Asharza will cause the …

When an elementary teacher gets certified, it’s done with the understanding that they’ve been taught how to teach the four key subject areas: math, science, social studies, and language. Bear with me here, because it gets around to games. When the time came for me to tackle my Methods in Science course, one of the …

Tentonhammer has a video up this morning that showcases the travel powers available in Champions Online. It’s a great watch and clocks in at over eight minutes long, so you get a good impression of the potential these travel powers have for your character. I’m impressed with what they’re offering. The animations are fantastic and …

Are we too old for superheroes?

August 9, 2009

by

I’ll admit, I abandoned the superhero genre when I turned 13. That was the age when watching Saturday morning cartoons was no longer cool — I left an animated Batman to fight the Joker on his own, a decision which didn’t work out too well for him. Since then, I haven’t really cared much for …

August 7, 2009

When I decided to stop playing Aion until the US version launches, I found myself a little unsure of where to go in the meantime. Not to long ago, however, Ferrel from Epic Slant invited me to join his guild Sodality in LotRO if I decided to give it another shot. I’ve decided to take …
