  • World of Warcraft: Has LFR Ruined Raiding?

    Over on the World of Warcraft forums, there’s a bunch of threads talking about how LFR has ruined raiding. While LFR has its share of problems, I feel that the essence that people believe which is raiding has not been ruined by LFR. There are two aspects I think people refer to when it comes…

  • World of Warcraft: What and When to Use Voidbinders (Item Upgrades)

    With the cost of valor points coming down in patch 5.3 for upgrading items using Voidbinders, you might ask yourself, “Should I start upgrading my items? And if so which ones?” This blog attempts to address some of those questions. One thing I noticed with regards to Mist of Pandaria in its current state is…

  • World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 Experiences Thus Far

    Okay, I got bored after finishing my Prometheus 2 script so I’m back to playing World of Warcraft slightly ahead of schedule. Patch 5.3 has a bunch of goodies mostly along the lines of loot and nerfed XP so I didn’t really want to miss out too much. So far as a casual player, I’ve…

  • World of Warcraft: 1.3 Million Subscribers Down

    That’s a pretty large number and is comparable to the population of Burning Crusade, except that it’s getting lower. The two main things people seem to point to are game age and Asia. However, I know that saying the game’s age is a common issue, but I feel that it’s too high level and generic…

  • World of Warcraft: First Patch 5.3 Official Notes Released (PTR)

    Patch 5.3 looks to be more of a major game issues fix with some content oriented elements thrown in. I already addressed the earlier noted valor/justice point upgrade system returning. From a gearing point of view, the two biggest things that impact myself are: Addressing bad luck streaks for re-rolls. This is HUGE for me.…

  • World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 Voidbinders/Item Upgrades Make A Comeback and Cutting Edge Gaming

    Outside of the new game, Blizzard announced that the Voidbinders/Item Upgrade venders will make a comeback in patch 5.3. The chief difference will be the massive reduction in cost for both valor points and justice points upgrades. Valor upgrades will cost 250 per 4 item levels for a total of an 8 item level upgrade…

  • World of Warcraft: How I Plan to Gear My Druid from Boomkin to Feral and Other Gearing Thoughts

    My druid is pretty decently geared as a boomkin. Having just won one of the Sha Touched weapons and some tier gloves, she’s pretty much ready to go for the new LFR. However, there are times when I just simply prefer to play her as feral. However, I haven’t spent as much time on that…

  • Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm and World of Warcraft Pontifications of the Day

    Last night I spent finishing up most of Heart of the Swarm. I’m either at the final or next to final campaign, having done all the sub-missions and only missing one objective thus far (at least from what I’m aware of). I ended up switching after getting frustrated from World of Warcraft’s inexplicable lagginess that…

  • World of Warcraft: Last Stand of the Zandalari LFR Experience

    Just got done with the latest LFR wing for the new Throne of Thunder raid. Immediately, after entering people started dying. I couldn’t tell if I entered in the middle, end or what. Fortunately, I started from the beginning because I would’ve gotten really pissed in having to wait another 40+ minutes. For my first…
