We may be injured, but that’s not stopping us from putting out another episode of the podcast, especially with Star Wars: The Old Republic on the way. Listen to your morphine-addled hosts (no, we’re not really on morphine) as we talk about the new Star Wars MMORPG with thoughts that aren’t in our written material. We also discuss what games look good to put under the tree for the... 

It hasn’t taken any time at all for guilds and pick-up groups alike to tear through the Dragon Soul raid, and since progress is being made so quickly, we’re covering the next two bosses this week.  Things get a little more complicated this time around, but still nothing to stress over.  Some of the mechanics are even rather amusing!  So let’s quit wasting time and get started before we’re... 

I’m surprised Blizzard hasn’t taken Perfect World to court.  After playing Forsaken World, the similarities between World of Warcraft and Forsaken World are too numerous to list here in this review.  The biggest similarity is play-style with Forsaken Worldcasting spells and effects by using the common leveling system between classes to defeat mobs and bosses.But I’m getting ahead of... 

We’re back from a short break, and just in time for the launch of patch 4.3, “Hour of Twilight.”  New dungeons, new raids, new loot… All the usual goodies.  Of course the biggest attraction by far is the raid instance itself, Dragon Soul.  Thanks to the addition of the new Raid Finder tool, it should be even easier for non-raiding individuals to step into this tier of content, at a reduced... 

If you don’t see articles from our World of Warcraft writers this week, don’t be surprised. Deathwing has made his final appearance as the “Hour of Twilight” patch (World of Warcraft 4.3) moves to live servers. The patch which gives players the ability to face off against the big-bad of Cataclysm also brings with it three new instances (dungeons), and a slew of new mechanics like transmogrification,... 

  My only confession this week is that I’m not writing! I’m transmogrifying, void-storaging, “new heroic, woot!”- running, and raiding. Yes, patch 4.3, “Hour of Twilight”, is here, and I’m neck-deep in it. My initial impressions are that void storage is more expensive than I expected, but still freaking awesome. Transmogrification is so exciting –... 

It’s been almost a year since our last attempt at breathing new life into our video game podcast. This time we think we have a combination that works. Join our video game guru Chris Tallant and Rafe as we dive into the world of console and computer games. This week we talk about reactions to some of the “exclusive” content you could pick up with Batman: Arkham City, the ongoing debate... 

Up to this point, our stroll through Heroic Firelands has been fairly smooth, for the most part.  Well, get ready for some surprise speed bumps, as the last three bosses are easily the hardest of the bunch, as we start drifting away from a simple new mechanic or two and begin seeing radical changes to the encounters as a whole.  Large sections of old strategies may very well be invalidated going... 

Ever wonder what life is like for a guild leader? I kept track of it last week. Since I have nothing else particularly motivating or, ahem, motivational (except for Bill Murray’s awesomeness), to write about this week, I thought I’d share. This is more or less an average week for me, barring the SW:TOR test which kept most of the guild occupied elsewhere for all of Friday and Saturday. Monday 5:40am:... 

For anyone who’s been watching the PTR, you know that the next patch (and subsequently, the next tier of raiding) is fast approaching, leaving precious little time to power through the rest of Heroic Firelands before it becomes obsolete in the face of entirely new challenges.  Fortunately, we already have a solid progression foothold on that front.  With two bosses down and only five to go, it’s...
