World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 and 5.4 Speculation
Recently, it was announced that patch 5.2 would be the last major content patch that updates the Pandaren environment. The focus here on out will be the war between the alliance and the horde. It was also announced that patch 5.3 will be similar to patch 5.1 in being a smaller content release while 5.4…

World of Warcraft: Isle of Thunder Experiences
When Isle of Thunder first came out, I did a few dailies. But the sheer number of mobs ended up frustrating me pretty badly along with all the chaos of people swarming the area. It’s calmed down quite a bit but still has more people than older daily zones. While other guides do exist, I…

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…

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: 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…

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…

World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria’s Philosophy, Reflections on Postmodern Society and My Own Life
“Slow down” and “enjoy life” is the constant message you’ll hear from the Pandaren folk in World of Warcraft. The oddball conspiracy theorists (including that personality quirk inside of my head) might be quick to point out that this is some Illuminati/government/elistists tactic to pacify the gaming masses. Or is it a reflection upon how…

World of Warcraft: My Current Progress and Experiences in Patch 5.2
We’re now about to get into the 4th day of Patch 5.2 for Mist of Pandaria. Much of what I’ve been doing (outside of helping a friend level up a bit) is focusing on gearing my guys up further and doing dailies on my newer 90 level toons. I’m attempting to avoid Heroics and seeing…
