Hey guys,
Long time no see! I know, it’s been too long, but we’re back. This episode actually demonstrates some of the technological issues we’ve been running into trying out new recorders. Unfortunately, Ferrel echoes throughout; however, the content itself was too good not to share — hence, 23.5 and not 24.
We talk about lots of [...]

I’ve finally been able to get in on the raiding game in World of Warcraft. Signing up with Chaotic Damnation has been a great decision and I now find myself as one of the guild’s two main tanks for the foreseeable future. The transition into raiding hasn’t been that bad since I’ve raided with PuGs in [...]

Throughout the transition period, I’ve done my best to support Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. As a lifetime subscriber, the change to freemium meant very little for me – and, still do. So, while I empathized with players terrified of what the changeover meant for them, I couldn’t exactly share their fear.
That’s all still [...]

Lord of infernals and mistresses. Someone needs to tell this guy to brush his shoulders off.
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you probably know that I’ve been feeling a little topped out on WoW lately. I was stuck in the heroic rut without much hope of getting out. This week has been [...]

Quick, someone tell me what vespane is!
Fun Fact: disabling P2P in the SC2 downloader can increase your download speeds more than 4x!
And with that, I come to terms with the fact that I just spent $65 on an RTS. That’s a big leap from the previous $0 I’d ever spent on the genre beforehand. But, [...]

I think I love you… but, what are your subscription numbers again?
Over the last few years, we’ve seen an absolute explosion in the amount of MMOs being released. A lot of them came about purely because WoW was such a success. The result, it seems, is that these games are being measured against WoW [...]

I am the stick. The mud is heroics. Somewhere over there in the pebbles is the door to ICC.
Over the last couple of days, and partially due to Syp‘s great Road to Mordor columns, I’ve been playing more LotRO than I have in the last quarter year. As I reloaded the game, I couldn’t [...]

Short and sweet, but I had to chime in on this one.
It seems that Starcraft 2 was released with a devastating bug in the menu system that’s causing some player’s video cards to overheat. Blizzard has acknowledged that the problem is related in menu systems not including any kind of FPS cap, causing some cards to [...]

I’ve had an interesting few days in LotRO. Namely, they’re interesting because I’ve found myself logging out within minutes of getting online. The reason is that, as a result of some unfortunate logout positioning, I come back online in the middle of a fight. Without fail, I’m always at about 30% health and unbuffed. Being that [...]

I’m kicking this Real ID business off of the top spot! Yesterday’s news, I say. Instead, I thought I’d take a cue from Bill Maher and drop a couple new rules on world of gaming and blogging.
If you see a pile of gold, you should be able to loot it. I mean, really. Do you know [...]
