World of Warcraft is a substantially different game today than during its original release. Between all the new talents, the new class and races, the new zones, we also witnessed a huge change in the overall philosophy of the game. Many things influenced these changes, including the fact the designers were much inexperienced about MMOs when the game originally went gold.

So dungeons changed, bosses changed, and the internal mechanics changed - a lot. True, the game constantly undergoes minor twea…  More

As some of you may know, PC Gamer UK has been blessed by the WoW gods and received information on the upcoming expansion to World of Warcraft: The Cataclysm.  This information can be found in their latest magazine and in the PC Gamer Podcast.

As fair warning, from here on out there will be major spoilers on the story of cataclysm and if you do not wish to spoil things for yourself I am warning you now, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!

My friend participated in 2008 World Wide Invitational Arena Tournament by Blizzard in France.  He was the priest of the team "Kill em all" and still have not received his prize money yet.  It's supposed to be $2,000 which is much bigger than iPod nano somebody stole.  If anyone from Blizzard is reading this, plea…  More

Recently there has been a big stir made about Blizzard / Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and his comments regarding the way he chooses to run his business.  If you are unfamiliar with the topic, feel free to bring yourself up to speed here and here.…  More

Thoughts have stumbled upon Power of Action, the consequences that involve it and what comes before it.
When one wants something, wants to perform an action that would somehow grab him from boredom or bring something new to his miserable existence, there are some steps to consider thinking of.
Before thinking about taking that exact action one has stepped through a stage to anticipate the coming of his behaviour, a behaviour which anticipates automatically thoughts about the action. I will take an…  More

+1 if you think Bobby Kotick should suck a fat one

If You've been on the forums at all today, you've probably seen this post by Kenya about Bobby Kotick's recent escapade at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco. According to our good friend Bobby, he leads his company like any good jew would, through taking advantage of an already weak economy to force your workers to focus on nothing except making money. According to an article on gamestop The executive said that h…  More

After quiet contemplations and of course long meditation, I, the Supreme Spirit itself, The Prophet of Riot, Prophet of Wisdom and Knowledge am back on the path of human enlightenment and brain soothing.
Many might know me from my other parchements, and if you, the new comer, new adept of my teachings adopt my words, then you shall learn my parchements by heart, open your heart, and let yourself driven by complete compassion unto wisdom.
I've stumbled upon more wisdom than i expected this one year…  More

Pre-Chapter - From wood to hut.

A harsh voice in the distance broke Reegos meditation... ''Reego! Reego! get your arse back home before i send the dogs out for you!''
The boy was used to his father rough language and daily ritual. The calling, or perhaps the aftermath of his chore consisting in cutting the finest wood deep in the forest renown for its dark red and brownish texture, some say it was a mixture of Mahogany and Cherrywood. Reego packs up his bag, picks the tomahawk and heads to his fat…  More

After my rant yesterday about how my WoW relationship was broken and the divorce lawyers called in because Blizzard's latest addition to the world (of Warcraft), Wrath of the Lich King, sucked so hard, it appears that I may have been a slightly premature in my writing.

You see we are having marriage counceling and trying to patch things up a little, but not with my account, with that of a friends. We are taking some time out to "see other people".

I was round at a friends earlier and he was on WoW…  More

My ralationship with world of warcraft used to be brilliant. We were inseperable. I would yearn to see it's beautiful face again every day and push all of its buttons in the hope of being the best in the eyes of Warcraft.

But look at what has happened. The relationship gets something "extra" and it all falls apart.

Wrath of the Lich King is what broke up me with my love. It made me want to never see its disgusting face again. It made me sick to the core at the thought of coming back to my computer…  More

Honestly, lets take what is learned from BC and Wotlk and actually put them into Cataclysm instead of leaving them and trying to go with something new.

1st: "Vehicle Combat"

Now I love the Vehicle Combat when its in Wintergrasp, Isle of Conquest, Strands of the Ancient, and Ulduar. What I do hate is Jousting and Dragon combat. Next to Blizzard giving free epics, this is by far the stupidest thing they have came up with. Not only is Jousting and Dragon Combat stupid, its plain annoying. How many ha…  More

Hello fellow Geeks in the Geekatodium. Its me again, The Geek, giving you some rant mixed in with stupid hard entertainment.

Alright Blizzard, and all its awesome smartness, released a new Heroic (5-man) for all of us to go "ooh new instance lets get in on that". Not only that but its Reg mode drops heroics, so now blizzard can go "Hey ******* carebears, want some epics so your wow armory looks good? do this on reg and get 5 epics."

Not only that but the Heroic Mode drops ulduar equive epics. So i…  More

"We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge."

As the dust settles from Blizzcon, and all the information begins to be compiled down and simplified some are still left in confusion.  Why The Cataclysm and not Emerald Dream or Maelstrom?  Why all the new class/race combos?  Why Worgen and Goblin -- I thought they were neutral? What is going on?!  Well, I am here to clear a few things up and hopefully after this read you'll understand why all this is happening.

Giving Credit Where It's …  More

Its been eight days since patch 3.2 and so far I'm loving Prot/Holy.  The hot from sacred shield, the cheat death, and the immense damage output.  I just started running DK/Pally as my 2v2 and all I have to say is "lul" at the damage output we have and the fact that I am able to lock-down a caster for at least eleven seconds (HoJ, Avenger's Shield, and Arcane Torrent).  I did some research before starting to do 2v2 and I found that you need atleast 401 defence for the Ardent Defender to proc.  S…  More

As always, this is taken from my site: http://stratstrats.com

So everyone knows about the Starcraft progaming world in Korea, and most people enjoy watching replays and VODs, so long as the commentators are good. There are even several people who have tried to bring Starcraft from Korea to other parts of the world. Tasteless, who is probably the most well known English commentator for Starcraft, has done immense work in bringing Starcraft to the United States. According to GOMTV(who Tasteless now…  More
