    Taking Battleground PvP Lessons from Team Fortress 2

    While taking a brief break from World of Warcraft, I played quite a bit of Team Fortress 2. It’s always an entertaining break from the same old games – I like the concept of a class-based shooter, but I’m not into the gritty realness of...

  • Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    I feel this dog pretty accurately sums up my reaction to the preview. The shaman preview made me have to change my pants with joy; the warlock preview kinda sucked until I realized it was mostly outright or stealth buffs to my all-time favorite tree,...

    Shaking off the dust; WoW resolutions

    Unrelated note: how many times did I type "reoslutions" instead of resolutions? If you guessed 3, you’re a winner. So the holiday lull is over and the new year begins. My real life resolutions for 2010 aren’t anything impressive, and I’ve been cheating on WoW...

    3.1: The Frustration of Ulduar

    Yeah, that sums up 3.1 pretty nicely, for me. I won’t lie, there’s good parts to it – I’m liking my death knight and warlock (yes, you read that right, warlock) better than ever, and love the new options available to most of my toons....

    Failing towards victory: Banana Force M

    In 2009, their mission began. Three bloggers, out to “compete” (/airquotes) in the arena tournament, for the promise of prizes for participation. Pondering the big questions, like “where is my Moonfire keybind,” and “how the hell did they just get off a heal,” and “what...
