  • Diablo 3: Pushing My Barbarian

    It’s fun playing a Demon Hunter but I want a better farming class. The Tempest Rush Monk can be fun but I’ve been having problems on even MP1 in terms of staying alive. Pretty much with the monk the main issues are life and resistance. My current build for my monk and his gear essentially…

  • Path of Exile: Rerolled for A Ranger

    After doing a little research, I learned that ranged classes in Path of Exile tend to fair better at the moment compared to melee based classes. My first class was a templar and I found the class to be okay. I think at his level there’s not a lot to be said. However, just for…

  • ZillianOP Scandal Part 2

    A few days ago once again Twitch TV had some controversy rise it’s head as one stream, ZillianOP, was banned. Apparently, he was banned a while back after being accused of botting. There was a vocal community backlash both for and against the banning when it was noticed that he used a botting program. He…

  • Diablo 3: Tempest Rush Monk Thoughts

    I’ve been doing a little bit of paragon leveling with my tempest rush monk. So far, I managed to get him to level 10 (and I haven’t even completed all of Inferno yet!) Mostly, I’m focused on doing Alkaizer runs and have been doing them on Monster Power 1. I would say that I might…

  • Path of Exile and Diablo 3 Fun

    Having finished William Gibson’s Zero History, I decided to take a little break from reading and do a little gaming. I’ll provide stay away from World of Warcraft for a little while just because I’m not too thrilled with the current direction and want to see what patch 5.4 looks like before re-subscribing. Instead, I…

  • EA CEO Steps Down and Implications for the Gaming Industry

    Recently, EA’s CEO stepped down. Part of it comes in speculation of the disaster for the latest SimCity DRM issues. However, it was said that EA’s projections were on a downward slope, which motivated this (more than likely). The SimCity DRM issue more than likely just highlighted one of the problems with EA in general.…

  • Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm and World of Warcraft Pontifications of the Day

    Last night I spent finishing up most of Heart of the Swarm. I’m either at the final or next to final campaign, having done all the sub-missions and only missing one objective thus far (at least from what I’m aware of). I ended up switching after getting frustrated from World of Warcraft’s inexplicable lagginess that…

  • Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Doing Campaign Normal Mode and Brief Thoughts

    Today, I pretty much got bored with World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 even. Needing a new gaming fix, I decided to say fuck it and pick up Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. I already know the campaign ending as I watched Kripparian play through the last parts when it came out. Just to…

  • Blizzard: Where Does It Go from Here in 2013?

    Today, Blizzard announced that the current PVP season for World of Warcraft is ending on March 5, creating speculation that the new patch most likely will be in effect about the same period. If, indeed, the patch does get deployed during that week, we should think about how this unfolds, considering that the next expansion…

  • Game Design Theory: Working with the Environment

    I came back reading yet another massive complaint regarding Diablo 3 from someone who is a fan of Path of Exile. While I have become disillusioned with Blizzard these past few years, the thing I started to think about was how to improve the ideas in a game like Diablo 3. The truth is outside…
