WoW: WotlK First Impressions

As most of the world probably knows by the lack of people actually showing up to their jobs, kind of like the world cup, World of Warcraft’s 3rd Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King has launched! At first I was never going to get this game because Warhammer Online had just came out and I was hoping for a game that would finally dethrone WoW as the best MMORPG in my book. Sad to say, that didn’t happen. There just isn’t that much to do in Warhammer right now and you can tell by how stale the servers get, and this comes from me a high ranking officer in a huge guild on one of the most popular servers. I was anxious to see if Wrath of the Lich King would live up to the hype or just peeter out as the franchise of WoW comes to an end. Continue reading ‘WoW: WotlK First Impressions’

JotW: Just Dance by Lady GaGa

This has got to be my favorite song so far this month! It took a couple plays to grow on me but once I gave the song a chance I started to just dance! I really like Just Dance because it is different from the Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross, etc. that I am used to listening to. Continue reading ‘JotW: Just Dance by Lady GaGa’

COD5 World at War First Look

About four days ago I got my hands on the Call of Duty 5 beta. At first I wasn’t even going to try it because it wasn’t by Infinity Ward. I feel that Infinity Ward saved the COD franchise with COD4 and that giving the series back to Treyarch was a giant mistake. Alas, a bunch of my friends picked up the beta and they said it was pretty good, so I jumped on and installed it. Basically all they did was take Infinity Ward’s COD4 and re-skin it to look World War 2ish. They did some improvements but it is basically the same game, just with a significantly different gameplay.

Dota 6.55 is out, oh my god.

The new Defense of the Ancients is out and so much is changed, maybe for the better, probably mostly for the worse. At least that is how it will be interpreted for some time to come. The changelog follows and it is ridiculously long. You can get the map at the getdota website.

JotW: Love Lockdown

Kanye West caught a lot of shit for his new song Love Lockdown and I will be the first to admit that it took a few days to grow on me, but I started rocking to it and then he re-did it and I have to say that it is one of my favorite songs out there right now. Part of me loves Kanye because of how he interacts with his audience through his blog. How many artists do you know that actually run their websites? I am glad to see one of the bigger players in the game is finally learning about the internet.

The Melee DPS Survival Guide

This guide exists to help users of the Melee Damage (MDPS) archetype, which includes the White Lion, Witch Hunter, Marauder, and Witch Elf classes, gain a better understanding of how “Pick Up Groups” (PUGs), which are unorganized groups of players, function and how to be successful within one of those groups. Users will find plenty basic tips and strategies that have been successfully tested and used on the battlefield. Users will not find comprehensive mathematical breakdowns and exact strategies for each class.

A Day of Reckoning

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning offically releases today. No more confusion about the 20 different types of betas they appeared to have running, just one game. My guild Animosity has been playing on Badlands since Sunday with the CE Head Start and we are all nearly level 20 right now. Twenty more levels until we reach the PvE Rank Cap of level 40. Until I hit level 40 I probably won’t post much non-warhammer related content on here, but I should be 40 in a couple weeks. Continue reading ‘A Day of Reckoning’

Warhammer In-game Bonus Item List

With all the different types of preorders available for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, it is easy to get confused and caught up in all the hype. There are currently two different editions that you can preorder, well you can’t get the Collector’s Edition any more but whatever. There are also rewards you could have gotten from participating EA sponsored events, buying an upcoming EA game such as Red Alert 3, or participating in the Road to War. Continue reading ‘Warhammer In-game Bonus Item List’

State of Warhammer Address

Over the last month or so there has been a flurry of activity in the Warhammer Online community. From the first announcements of a first quarter 2009 launch to an all of a sudden late 3rd quarter 2008 launch, everything feels like it is being rushed a little bit. I have seen this game grow over the past few months as an Elder Beta tester and there is a lot that I would like to get off my chest about Warhammer. Like many things I have read, this too might turn out to be a little rantish, but just remember that I love Warhammer and I fully plan on buying the game, I have it preordered anyways… Continue reading ‘State of Warhammer Address’

The specs on my ~$1000 PC

Ok, It’s been a few days since I built my computer, 2 to be exact, and I have ran tests upon tests on it to make sure that everything is working correctly and that I am getting some great performance right out of the gates. So far this rig has crushed my expectations, I was thinking of it running somewhere around ~11000 3dmark06 before overclocking it but it ran an amazing 13872 3Dmark06 score @ 1680×1050.
