The Long and Winding Road to 80
Whether you're taking it fast or slow there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do once you get there. Except, of course, get gear.
Killing all rogues. ArenaCast is back, back again. Tell a friend.

Alright, two songs for you tonight. One of which was done by a fellow Gamerioter, and I was pleased to see such an excellent entry into the Razer Speaker Contest. Here it is:



While that song is pretty epic, I have decided to post another anime song as well. Here is a song from Hajime no Ippo (new season in January!):

As suspected this episode of Naruto was top notch. Unfortunately instead of giving this amazing director meaningful scenes, he only got to work with an action scene that ended up…

So, after looking a little more into Wrath of the Lich King. I kept hearing from low lifes err... sorry I mean noobs. That WotLK was actually fun, so I actually considered getting back into WoW. But, sadly I did some more research and found out that from the rich (A.K.A. PvP elitist such as myself) think the game totally sucks and is boring as ****.

They also said that right now WotLK is about as balanced as Nick Jonas **** compared to the rest of the world. So, I said **** it I'm not even going …

I know few of you actually care about Wrath of the Lich King.  Surely most of you bought it and just left it on the shelf while playing other games of greatness.  Who am I kidding, half of you reading this probably already have the game and most of the rest will get it at one point or another.

So many of you bought the game that it is set the single day PC game sales record.  2.8 million copies in one day.  Do the math on that at 40 bucks a pop and you can probably guarantee that Blizzard alr…

These are the video games that have defined their genre.  They are the standard by which all other games in their category are judged.

Best Flight Combat Game of All Time
Wing Commander 3 (1994)Platform: PC
Developer: Origin Systems
Publisher: Origin Systems

 

The popular vote here is of course Tie Fighter.  While great, Tie Fighter did not measure up to Wing Commander 3.  Keep reading because I am going to convince you why.

Wing Commander 3's impact on games is still felt very clearly even today…

I really enjoyed Grand Theft Auto IV and it is deserving of most of its praise.  However it had little to no replayability leaving next to no reason to keep the game around after you had beat it.  Unless you were hooked on multiplayer, there is a good chance you have already sold/traded/shredded your copy.

The good news is, the exclusive Xbox 360 downloadable content has been announced.  No word yet if this is a timed exclusive or if/when other content will come to the PS3.  For now, it is on…

In this latest GameTrailers interview new Lara Croft lovely Alison Carroll discusses how she came to play the buxom videogame icon and a few finer points on Crystal Dynamic's latest release. What can I say, it's Tomb Raider-themed. It involves a lot of cartwheels, somersaults, guns, Underworld promotion and breasts. Enjoy.



It must have been seriously weird for her brothers to have been fans of the Tomb Raider series and thinking whatever they will  about Lara and then having their sister take on…

So me and my buddy were at work today talking about some pre burning crusade things and the topic of Epic quests came up. Back then he used to play a hunter and I used to play a priest and a hunter. Epic quests were neat. They were challenging and the rewards really showed for them.
 
Adding to that on a completely unrelated topic. I'm currently writing a guide for World of Warcraft and Linux. It involves getting Ventrilo running and also some useful software for making wow videos. So if you wer…

Besides helping me figure out the best route through Chicago while still hitting up Giordano's this weekend, Google Maps has pleasantly offered me this extremely helpful Fallout 3 detailing of Capital Wasteland. Although it may appear clustered at first, this user-generated map is an absolutely invaluable resource to any dedicated Fallout 3 player in search of unlocking every possible nook and cranny of this expansive environment. I highly recommend checking this out. It would have greatly helped me out in my brief Fallout 3 stint. …

So we're exactly one week into expansion now and I can say that our guild has now finally cleared all existing content in the expansion (like some others have, as well) despite some initial setbacks on certain encounters such as this one:



I also happened to get a handful of realm firsts along the way:



Realm First 80
Realm First 80 Gnome
Realm First 80 Warrior
Realm First Grand Master Enchanter
Realm First Obsidian Slayer
Realm First Conqueror of Naxxramas
Realm First Magic Seeker

All that said and done, …

The Epic Drop is back for your enjoyment tonight so read on to keep up with all the homosexual, Russian, food stamp, Star Trek news!  Plus one of the greatest soccer throws EVER!

The government is forcing eHarmony to open up a gay-oriented dating site.  How they have the power to do this is beyond me.  I think someone on Neowin summed it up perfectly, "'I wont sell oranges to Native Americans' and 'I wont sell oranges to Native Americans because I only sell apples'".  WTB strip clubs with mal…

I gotta say, I liked everything about Wrath until I hit 80 and looked around for a bit. Turns out, there's no PvP gear at all right now that's buyable with honor so I got to buy a full eviscerator's set for a hefty amount of gold. But no, that's not all you'll have to do to have "PvP" gear, you're going to need to instance/raid for your weapons. Anything you have from leveling will be VASTLY inferior to the Heroic Badge Dagger and the dagger drop from Heroic Stone Halls. It seems Blizzard really is pushing PvE on you at every turn.…

So wow.  This game is hands down one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences in  years.  Im sure everyone has already read the reviews and initial opinions, so ill spare you all from giving a review of the game.  Instead ill just tell you about moments ive had and what makes this game outstanding in my book.

For starters as you see from the title, this is the first game in a loooong time thats actually gotten…

      After an insane grind to level 80 my body and mind is hating me. Unlike my fellow collaborator  I drink only the most high performance energy drinks. A ****tail of Monster, Red Bulls, Nos Energy Drink, Starbucks Doubleshot, and Corona's with lime (wtf i know but they good) gave me the will to push to some realm firsts.

A little under a year ago I discussed the CGS and it's CEO's hopes of becoming the next NFL, NBA and English Premier League.  Needless to say I felt it was pretty absurd to even consider the CGS making it to such levels.  And while I stopped short of claiming the league's death to be a nice guy, it was obvious that was not the direction they were heading.

News this week confirms just that, the CGS league is now dead.  I would love to have a good laugh at the expense of Andy Reif who said "I've…
