  • World of Warcraft: Taking Another Break Until Patch 5.4

    It’s that time again where I’m feeling the need to step away from World of Warcraft for a few weeks to get my life straightened out a little. But in reality I’m somewhat frustrated with the game. Most of what I do is LFR but it’s just a tedious grind at this point that lacks…

  • 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,…

  • World of Warcraft: Project 5.4 ilvl 500 Complete, Playing with Elemental Shaman

    I managed to finally hit an average ilvl of 500+ on all my main toons. In turn, my push to gear will slow down a bit. Of course, I still would like to get better gear for everyone but I feel less pressured to make such a huge push on all my toons since they’re…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • World of Warcraft: The Pros and Cons of Alt-A-Holicism

    As someone who has played RPGs for a long time, I’m someone who enjoys trying out different classes to see the difference in game play. In World of Warcraft, they call my style of play Alt-A-Holicism. Maybe some people stigmatize the idea of playing numerous alts, but it has its share of benefits as well…

  • World of Warcraft: Is the Legendary Cloak Worth It?

    In the upcoming 5.4 patch on the new Timeless Isle, there will be a new world boss that only people who have succeeded in obtaining the Legendary Cloak (meaning have completed the Legendary Quests for this expansion thus far) can access. As usual, there’s a huge amount of arguments that have broken out over on…

  • World of Warcraft: How I’m Spending My Runes/Charms, Valor Points and Pushing Forward

    With 10 level 90s, I have to managed to gear them up pretty decently. Right now, my lowest geared toon is ilvl 487 (with my highest being 504). I’m almost complete in running each one through Throne of Thunder but the entire process is extremely time consuming. As a result, I’m forced to plan a…
