Diablo 3: Patch 2.1.2 Experience, Gearing and Farming Ideas
Patch 2.1.2 for Diablo 3 dropped yesterday and I gave it a quick spin with the Demon Hunter and Monk. Fortunately, I had the prescience to hoard various legendaries that I felt would eventually make a comeback in the future, thus allowing myself to quickly swap some gear for both my Demon Hunter and Monk…

AngularJS 2.0: Did They Shoot Themselves in the Foot?
Right now, AngularJS seems to be one of the hottest emerging front end technologies for developers. Virtually, every recruiter has been calling me up and asking me about my AngularJS background (despite only possessing a year of it). However, there was a blog post talking about the major changes for the 2.0 version. And it’s…

At a certain point where you feel you’ve accomplished your basic goals in a game, the way you can take it to the next level is modding it. With Baldur’s Gate 2, there’s a really cool utility called EE Keeper that allows you to modify your saved games for the Enhanced Edition. The main purpose…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Modifying NPCs to Be More Interesting
I heard there’s a program that allows you to modify NPCs a bit. The main benefit is to give the NPCs a little more variety and hopefully make them more appealing (since many have either poor stats or just offer nothing in terms of their classes). So here’s some ideas in terms of making the…

Why Twitch Should Allow Everyone to be Partnered

Diablo 3: Thoughts on the Upcoming 2.1.2 Patch
I still haven’t given the PTR a shot yet for Diablo 3 (I did manage to download it). But I have watched several streamers demonstrate it as well as hear commentary from streamers and forum posts. I wanted to share my take on this patch.

Diablo 3: More Futzing Around With Builds
Using the weekend’s experience buff, I decided to hit the old Diablo 3 pretty hard. I managed in the end to hit paragon level 602, not intentionally but it was part of my holiday goals. The other thing I wanted to work on was striving for some better gear, mostly on my Witch Doctor pet…

World of Warcraft: More Permabans
It seems that the banhammer is now in full force over at Blizzard. Currently, Sodah (the guild master on the high end PVP guild Im MVP on Tichondrius) as well as Cdew have been added to the permaban list as a result of account sharing. I’ve read various tweets from these streamers/gamers as well as…
