I have a confession: I’m a little burned out on WoW. Now, before any my guildies who are reading this hit the panic button, let me assure you that I’m not going anywhere. I’m not quitting. I said a “little” not “totally”. It just means that I’m taking it easy for a bit. Rather than fighting the reality of my indefinable ambiguity or giving up entirely,... 

I had a tough time choosing this week’s Firelands boss topic. With only two of the five introductory bosses left, options are limited. The thing is, one of the two is a heck of a lot more complicated than the other, which also equates to being a heck of a lot more fun. A double-edged sword, perhaps, but a pretty epic sword nonetheless. So we’re tackling Alysrazor this week, arguably the... 

I can’t help but compare this game to the movie Starship Troopers. The front line soldiers killing bugs of all sorts? You do a great deal of bug killing to the point of absurdity. Almost. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a game from Japan which involves hordes upon hordes of alien bugs invading earth and you mow them down the best way you know how: raw firepower. There’s not much to the... 

Of course, the reality is that there’s never an end to drama, is there? There’s only degrees of it. Heh. And I suppose that’s what we do, as guild leaders, we manage drama. I mean, we manage people…. but what we’re really managing is their behaviors. We want everyone to be on an even keel, treating each other in a decent way, with a nice level of harmony, yes? Do you ever... 

We’ve still barely gotten started in the Firelands, and there are plenty of bosses left to dispatch, so we’re diving straight in this week with another new one: Shannox. Any groups who have ventured into the raid in the interest of clearing through trash have quite possibly already had an encounter with this boss. Nearly every mob scattered around the center area of the zone is linked to... 

A good deal of gamers will compare Terraria right away to a similar style game: Minecraft, however Terraria’s focus on combat in a sandbox-style environment is what makes it stand out. Terraria is a game with roots deep in 8-bit gaming, using such side-scrollers as Mario Bros Read More →

If you play video games on the PC or MAC platform, it is in your best interest to download Steam (store.steampowered.com) and sign up for a free account. I couldn’t be more serious: get off your ass and do this. Every computer I build for friends and family come pre-installed with: K-Lite Codec Pack Full, MalwareBytes, iTunes, and Steam. My logic goes something like this: even if you never use these... 

I’m not sure where to begin this week’s review. Catherine as entertainment falls in the same genre as Akido, Spirited Away, and Sailor Moon; which is known as manga animation from Japan. The other side of the coin, however, is more hentai anime, better known as adult manga since the content (and some of the juicy graphics) are adult oriented. Granted, Catherine’s storyline relies on the player... 

I’m currently dealing with a situation that has only a little to do with my responsibilities as a guild leader, although there have been times when my rank has affected decisions I’ve made regarding this issue. And even though it’s actually a personal issue since it involves the in-game harassment of one of my family members, I thought I would share it here in this column because... 

So last week I mentioned that, within the Firelands, there were four potential bosses to tackle first, in any order the raid chooses. Well, I lied, there are actually five, providing groups with even more options for picking fights that suit their group composition or player experience for any given raid. On that note, I’m well aware that the particular order of bosses covered here may vary drastically...
