Well folks, it’s been a while, since I posted. Life has been quite busy for this little shaman. Things are calming down so you’ll see me posting more often (hopefully!). The past week was BlizzCon 2011, a fine time for everyone who got to go. For those of your readers I got to meet, it … [Read more of this article]
MoP Shakes up healing, Lodur’s thought...
POLL: Will you raid 10 man or 25 man in Cata...
One of the best — or worst things depending on your view — to happen to raiding in a long time was the inclusion of smaller group sized content. I talked a little bit about this over on BDTU with my pieces on the Evolution of WoW part 1 and part 2. The trend started … [Read more of this article]
Understanding New Talents and Thoughts on Pr...
Last week, it was announced that talent trees would get sliced. Reason being that there was too much unnecessary crap and not enough fun talents. Most of us sort of got the idea of what they wanted to do. Include more talents that do something tangible, that we can feel or use. Potentially free Lightning … [Read more of this article]
Putting The RP in MMORPG
So, recently I’ve been talking more and more about the story and lore of gaming. The games that create a rich background and intricate story for you to be a part of. As such I’ve been talking with a lot of RPers lately. I’ve been reading very interesting RP posts, and fan fiction stories, and … [Read more of this article]
Raid Warning Podcast Giveaway and Interview ...
I found some time this week to join my new friends on the Raid Warning podcast. Normally podcast requests are made at times where I have to respectfully decline (my guild comes first) but we managed to work something out. So what did we talk about? Matt’s preferred drink! And his alcohol tolerance Patch 3.2 … [Read more of this article]
Yes You Can Multi-Box with Battle Net Accoun...
Blizzard’s released a new Battle Net system that allows players to merge all of their gaming accounts under one. This greatly adds to the convenience factor. You don’t have to remember all your different CD keys for one thing. I added my Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne keys and I found that I can download … [Read more of this article]
Matt’s Hodir Impressions
First, check out this awesome video by Siha. Some great teaser footage regarding the Hodir encounter. You can see me around the 22 second mark. I’m running away to the bottom right corner of the screen. Great choice of music, to boot! To all the players who said Blizzard didn’t know how to create challenging … [Read more of this article]
Being the Shaman Behind the Meat Shield
Back on the 13th, Mera asked a question that I felt deserved a post to fully answer it. “Can shamans make good MT or OT healers, as in to the same standard of other healing classes?” I provided a short answer of yes on the 13th, but I’m going to try to flesh it out … [Read more of this article]
SYTYCB: Week 2 – The List
This week’s blog posting format, with some special dice rolling help from Anna, is the list post. It should be a little easier for the bloggers to do now compared to week 1 when I dropped the rant bomb on them. However, while it’s easier for them to produce something, I think it’s only going … [Read more of this article]
Be a World of Warcraft God in 5 Steps
You’ve got the game. You’ve done the raids. You’ve finished the PVPing. For some reason, and you can’t quite place it, there’s still a hole within you. It feels as if though there is something missing. You were a hardcore gamer before. In Counter-Strike you’d consistently dominate with the AWP in your hand. In Warcraft … [Read more of this article]
