Kontroversial Keith: Saying It and Meaning It.

  • World of Warcraft: 40+ Minute LFR Queues

    I mentioned how I’ve switched from World of Warcraft to Starcraft 2. Between the two, I briefly went to Diablo 3 and cleared half of Act 3, becoming bored and almost falling asleep in the process. Part of the reason I stopped was that a friend of mine (actually the only remaining true friend I…

  • Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Doing Campaign Normal Mode and Brief Thoughts

    Today, I pretty much got bored with World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 even. Needing a new gaming fix, I decided to say fuck it and pick up Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. I already know the campaign ending as I watched Kripparian play through the last parts when it came out. Just to…

  • Iron Maiden: Clive Burr Passes Away on March 12, 2013

    I was extremely sad to hear about Clive Burr’s passing a few days ago. It made the top of Yahoo’s trending items, which is how I discovered this tragedy. As a long time Maiden fan, I will say that Clive Burr perhaps is one of my personal favorite drummers of all time. Although I like…

  • The Hobbit: Out on iTunes and A Quick Review

    As usual, I’m skipping the hype at movie theaters and went straight to my iTunes player for the movies I want to see. In this case, it’s the long anticipated Peter Jackson prequel of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Currently planned as a triology, Peter Jackson is attempting to drag out more content from a…

  • World of Warcraft: No New 5 Mans Heroics for Mist of Pandaria Announced

    Dave Kosak announced on Twitter that there are no new planned Heroic 5 man instances currently planned for Mist of Pandaria. I discovered this after seeing a Mike Preach video where he discusses the issue and shares his views on the subject. From my point of view, this is going to end up being a…

  • World of Warcraft: Mike Preach on Diving Into Heroics

    [embedplusvideo height=”388″ width=”640″ standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YPuP0V_6DZQ?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=YPuP0V_6DZQ&width=640&height=388&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=&notes=” id=”ep1006″ /] Mike Preach has another video up on his view when it comes to diving into Heroics. This comes in direct contrast to the way I handle heroics and gearing. His belief is that you should just head straight into Heroics without spending a dime on the Auction House…

  • World of Warcraft: Why I Do Not Care for (Progression) Raiding

    I had joined a 25 man ICC Heroic this past weekend and was on my friend’s Mumble server. One guy in the group deplored the whole LFR mechanism, calling it for “noobs” and “scrubs.” That guy rubbed me the wrong way (outside of having a terrible hick accent) in possessing this oversized ego but it…

  • World of Warcraft: Managing and Leveling Multiple Alts in Mist of Pandaria

    Quite often when you read the forums you’ll hear how many people have felt that Mist of Pandaria has not been alt friendly. The grind in this expansion at the start has been quite harsh with the reputation, low valor points and ungenerous loot system in place. Not to mention the extremely tedious questing required…

  • Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue Review

    Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue Review

    Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue is a good upgrade from the last hospital set, which was oddly built on a raised plate. At 425 pieces, this system feels like a mid sized hospital with a fair sized helicopter as one of the main components. It includes 4 figures, including one victim, a female paramedic, helicopter pilot…

  • World of Warcraft: Getting More Frustrated with Saurfang Oceanic Server

    When I originally started on Saurfang Oceanic, my intent was to play with a former colleague. I never saw him once on the server and he ended up quitting once his job situation was settled. So I ended up getting stuck more or less on the server. However, it was a PVE server and something…
