  • World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria Overall Raid Thoughts

    Having done all the encounters at least at the LFR (and the later ones at the Flex level) level, I want to present some thoughts on this expansion’s raiding tiers.

  • World of Warcraft: LFR Merits and Issues

    There are a good number of people who hate LFR. Many wish it never came into existence in the World of Warcraft. Some people also claimed that LFG destroyed server communities. However, I think many of the issues with LFR, and before that LFG, were the result of poor experiences in LFR and to a…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class and Multi-Class Modification Wishes

    After the latest play through of Baldur’s Gate 2 and from writing my previous article on classes and party combinations, one thing I’ve come to realize is that you’re still somewhat limited on a few possibilities. Of course, the game introduces limits to provide a sense of balance but the balance introduced in Baldur’s Gate…

  • Game Design: More MMORPG Ideas

    Yesterday, the NDA for Final Fantasy 14 was lifted and I was able to check out Yoni’s stream where she showed how the game operates.

  • Gamers Threatening Game Developers

    A friend of mine pointed out an article about how gamers are now threatening the lives of game developers. The meat and bones of the article talk about how game developers have occasionally risen to a semi-star like quality in the gaming community. But upon assuming the new found stardom, they also receive notoriety…ironically from…

  • World of Warcraft: What Should the Next Expansion Be?

    I think patch 5.4 will be the last major content patch of this expansion. With it comes the ever present speculation of what the next major expansion should be. As Garrosh Hellscream will be vanquished in the upcoming patch, we will see that part of his power is derived from the Sha. And as the…

  • World of Warcraft: LFR Recent Issues

    I’m thinking of taking a break sooner than I had hoped when it comes to World of Warcraft. My main game as people might expect is working on receiving drops from LFR and getting Valor Point capped. Unfortunately, LFR has been getting ridiculously frustrating for numerous reasons and is causing me far too many unnecessary…
