  • Diablo 3: Areas Which I Would Like to See Improvement

    This blog post will address some areas of improvement that to Diablo 3. Those areas will be lag, UI, legendaries, RNG, loot quality and the social gaming aspects, especially with regards to Clans.

  • Diablo 3: Having Fun Prior to Reaper of Souls

    With Reaper of Souls just 6 days away from release, some friends and I have really gotten back into the game and have been enjoying the current patch. I was one of the first of my friends to experience the patch when it came out and immediately noticed the quality of the game improve dramatically.…

  • World of Warcraft: Where Blizzard Gets it Right

    I’ve been hearing about the restrictions surrounding Final Fantasy 14 and someone I learned how someone I’ve occasionally played World of Warcraft with ended up getting banned for streaming the game to a private set of users. Apparently, even a private stream broke the NDA. But today I heard that the game has further streaming…

  • Diablo 3: Expansion Announced as Reaper of Souls

    Blizzard announced yesterday the new expansion for their Diablo 3 series, calling it Reapear of Souls. A new page has been setup for the expansion, including a full trailer and game play. The game is currently set for an unspecific date in 2014 and will include as part of the major content a new act,…

  • Diablo 3: Gave Monster Power 8 A Try

    Using the gear I purchased recently for my barbarian, I decided to re-do a few talents and passives and bump up the Monster Power a little more. I believe I can get up to 200k and have around 500 all resistances. According to one chat, supposedly these stats would be reasonable enough to handle some…

  • Diablo 3: Turn Up that Monster Power Notch

    I started to find my Act 1 runs on my Barbarian to be progressively getting easier. I recently hit Paragon Level 24 and wanted to see if I could push that Monster Power level a little higher. So I’m now at Monster Power 6 and feel that it’s quite an interesting challenge. People say that…

  • Diablo 3: Maybe I’m Doing Something Wrong

    Okay, so I tried following one of these so-called budget builds, copying similar money caps and stats for a barbarian. The thing is that I had a far bigger budget but felt that I didn’t get much out of it. When I gave it a try on MP5, I felt that I was even less…

  • Diablo 3: Nice MP5 Farming Route for Barbarians (Act 1)

    I managed to upgrade my barbarian slightly recently, which is allowing me to handle Monster Power 5 Act 1 just fine. Stat-wise, he has (unbuffed) 38.8k health, 640 all resistances, 6.5k armor, 1.1k life on hit and is around 113k DPS. I use a Scoundrel as my companion for the increased critical hit chance. Unless…

  • Diablo 3: Itemization Design Ideas

    There was some talks on the Itemization patch (aka Loot 2.0) with a nice summary on the Diablo Fans page. The three big ideas are 1) making legendaries have unique properties; 2) making items upgradable (and thereby non-tradeable); and 3) more attention to less used class talents/skills. While the last part is yet to be…

  • Livestreaming and Gaming: The Hidden, Growing World

    The internet has changed all of our lives, including how we interact with each other. With social networking, the real time feeds and whatnot, our world has become hyperfast and intertwined to the point where we not only have our physical identity but a virtual identity. As services like Youtube have created a whole new…
