Blizzcon 2013 Impressions
Because of how far the Blizzcon 2013 convention was announced, I decided not to make any effort originally to try and pick up a ticket. When the time came, I ended up getting the Virtual Ticket. For $40 I don’t think it was worth the money. In fact, I’m not sure if I ever want…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class Mistake and Taking A Fighter/Mage/Thief
I decided to give one of the parties I mentioned a try in terms of starting from scratch. What I attempted to do was create a cleric/swashbuckler. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that this combination was not possible, at least not in that order of creation.

Baldur’s Gate 2: NPC Party Compositions
I prefer multi-player play more than the single player option just because of being able to have the ability to customize my party, even if i merely choose to create a single character. However, after writing a few lengthy articles on customized party combinations, I decided to put some thoughts down on using a single…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Just Beat Throne of Bhaal for the First Time
People might wonder, “Why did it take you so long to beat a game that’s over 10 years old?” My reply is that I just have been distracted and never really put the time and commitment into going through the entire game. I’ve defeated Shadows of Amn a few times but for some reason Throne…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class and Multi-Class Modification Wishes
After the latest play through of Baldur’s Gate 2 and from writing my previous article on classes and party combinations, one thing I’ve come to realize is that you’re still somewhat limited on a few possibilities. Of course, the game introduces limits to provide a sense of balance but the balance introduced in Baldur’s Gate…

Baldur’s Gate 2: More Class/Party Discussion
I finished Shadows of Amn once again yesterday and began Throne of Bhaal but have made little progress thus far. The play through on my party consisted of a human kensai/mage, human undead hunter, half-elf ranger/cleric, Jaehira (half-elf fighter/druid), human wizard slayer/thief and elf fighter/mage. Mostly, I just powered my way through and did most…

Baldur’s Gate 2 Fun over the Weekend
Despite taking a break from pushing World of Warcraft, I still enjoy playing through a good game. Right now, there’s not a lot of new games that really entice me and I’ve been meaning to go back and give Baldur’s Gate 2 a spin again. It takes a bit to pick up where you left…

Game Design: More MMORPG Ideas
Yesterday, the NDA for Final Fantasy 14 was lifted and I was able to check out Yoni’s stream where she showed how the game operates. Although PVP and end game content are unknowns at this point, the basics of an MMORPG exist where the differences outside of the lore/world are in multi-classing. However, we discussed…

Gamers Threatening Game Developers
A friend of mine pointed out an article about how gamers are now threatening the lives of game developers. The meat and bones of the article talk about how game developers have occasionally risen to a semi-star like quality in the gaming community. But upon assuming the new found stardom, they also receive notoriety…ironically from…
