Breaking Down Blizzard PR’s Christmas Card

I just checked my spam folder at Vagary. Gmail is doing work. It now send everything from Blizzard straight to the spam box. I guess they noticed how many “your accounts been haxxors” emails I was getting and decided to say screw it. That’s cool and all, but I wish there was a setting for …

Why Rift is the First Real “Answer” to World of Warcraft

This post is also featured on our Rift fansite and blog, Rift Watchers. Temporarily cross-posting to build awareness 🙂 Little Caveat: I’m not saying that Rift is perfect or “the answer” to what everyone wants in an MMO. Or that it’s necessarily better than any of the games listed below. I’m a lifetimer to LotRO …

When Cutscenes Go Too Far

I hit level 85 last week and now find myself at the tail end of Uldum, frantically scraping for that last gear point to start heroics. Now, Uldum is a pretty cool zone. It has a neat setting with new character models, fun quests, and memorable characters (Harrison Jones, anyone?). It also features an absolute …

2011 – Will It Solidify WoW’s Decline?

Here we go: a predictions post. I usually avoid doing these because I don’t like being proven wrong. This time I feel confident enough to make the statement unless Blizzard changes how they roll out content. Going by their previous development history, I simply don’t how this expansion will keep people satisfied for the next …

Gearscore Becomes Playerscore… Oh Crap.

Note: This post is about the addon Gearscore, recently bought by Ten Ton Hammer, and its evolution into “Playerscore.” PS rates the person behind the keyboard instead of just their gear. It’s like an e-peen meter mixed with a popularity contest. My days of douchebaggery are done people! Done. No longer can I /strut or …

The End of (Character) Privacy

I have a question for you all: how differently would you act if everyone suddenly knew your whole list of characters; if every forum post, every item loot, every auction listing could suddenly be tracked  back to you? If you’re like me, in that you are you no matter WHAT skin you wear, the answer …

Mount Hyjal: Like Stepping Into The Past (and Other Day One Cata Impressions)

As you all know, Cataclysm released yesterday and let the masses finally get a taste of the new 80-85 game. I didn’t try logging in last night, even WITH the digital download, since it would have been 3AM here and probably queued to boot. I took the day off and logged in at noon, queue-free, …

The Multiverse – Episode #32: “A Turkey’s Guide to Immersion”

Hi Everyone, After a prolonged break, we are back with Episode 32, A Turkey’s Guide to Immersion. Kind of a funny title, but it is, of course, to give credit to Mr. Beau Hindman Turkey who invented them some years back in Vanguard. At the time, they were the guide for the Immersion Project, which …

A Time Traveler Returns From 2013

Well, wasn’t that an interesting trip. Excuse me while I dust off the time-o-copter. Yes, yes, you’d think simple blades wouldn’t collect so much dust but, well, it’s not like they get used for much, anyhow. So, you’re probably wondering, “what’s 2013 like, Time-O?” and I’m here to tell you. Barack Obama, you say? No, …

Why Pilgrim’s Bounty Was One Of The Best Holiday’s This Year

Over the last couple of days, I’ve spent more time in WoW than I’d planned. Saturday night, actually, I kept myself up until the wee hours of the morning. No, I wasn’t frantically grinding quests or exploring or vainly trying to master my new troll druid (this healing business is totally new territory for me). …
