This is the post where I appeal to my audience for help and ask a lot of questions 🙂 As I’m trying to get back into World of Warcraft, one of the first questions that comes to mind is “what do I do now?” When I left, I had been routinely running heroics and collecting …

Eating crow…
Today, I had a revelation. You know, one of those “this thing has been staring me in the face and I missed it anyways” types of occurrences. My wife’s sister came to hang out today with her soon-to-be husband, who happens to be a long time WoW player. After a while, talk turned to video …
A new blog to check out…
Hi Everyone, I wanted to take a moment this Sunday and encourage you all to check out a neat new blog called Listen 2 Thea. It’s not a gaming blog but rather is about nature, photography, and life. And yes, it is a dear relative of mine, my aunt. She did the photographs for my …
Are players wrong to feel entitled?
Gordon had a post up yesterday that asked whether modern day MMO players were lazy or if it just seemed that way since games are more accessible these days. I felt compelled to respond, which I did in the comments section, but I think that the topic of my response bears a little more hashing …

Thanks to the MMO Voices guys for indulging me and my podcast noobness. Topics we talked about: – Micro-transactions: teaching kids to spend money? – Pets …
Closing applications early
Hi Everyone, I decided to shut down applications for co-hosts to the podcast early. Due to overwhelming response, we have a wide variety of people wanting to join up… which is awesome. When I put the offer out there, I didn’t really expect much. So, thank you to everyone who applied. Nothing is set in …

LFM: Podcast Co-hosts
Update: Due to high interest, I am going to leave this option available until Saturday, November 14th. After that point, I’ll be making a decision. Ryan and another personal friend are interested, as well as four others that have applied since this morning. I’m open to rotating hosts if there’s enough interest, so don’t be …
