World of Warcraft: Patch 5.4 Not Really Exciting Me (aka How Blizzard Screwed up With Siege of Orgrimmar)
Patch 5.4 is really not the greatest patch released, for me at least. The new Siege of Orgrimmar raid is more tedious than something I look forward to and LFR has been in the pits. I find the Timeless Isle to be draining rather than an exciting spot to hang out. Most of the time,…

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…

World of Warcraft: Retribution Paladin, Flex/LFR Thoughts for Patch 5.4
Tonight, I ran with my friend’s guild and managed to clear Wing 3 of Flex (along with doing a 45 minute run on Wing 1 and downing two bosses on Wing 2), using my paladin. It was a pretty good night, but I felt myself getting tired by the time we hit the Dark Shamans.…

A friend of mine was talking about giving oDesk a shot for contracting/freelancing. Since I’m looking for various possibilities in the job market, I thought about trying to contract and decided to fill my profile in. This blog addresses some things as someone who’s primarily worked as a fulltime employee looking at a system like…

World of Warcraft: Burdens of Eternity Usage
I’m not a huge fan of the BoA gear that drops on the Timeless Isle. I find that most of the gear to have bad stats overall and occasionally being exceptionally misplaced, even if you have the correct spec picked. For instance, my warrior received equipment that contained haste as the only secondary stat. That…

World of Warcraft: Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Part 1 DPS Guide
Since I’ve done Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Part 1 now roughly 8 times on several toons, I decided to write up my experiences as a DPS, both ranged and melee, on how I handled each fight. I will cover Part 2 once I have more experience, although I think I have a pretty good handle…

World of Warcraft: Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Current Assessment
I just got through Siege of Orgrimmar part 2 on LFR with my hunter. It really wasn’t a walk in the park. Many of the forum posts indicated that part 2 was a horror show and practically the whole thing was a nightmare. And it’s a nightmare described accurately in those forum posts.

World of Warcraft: Flex vs LFR
My friend’s guild has invited me to several Flex raids in the Siege of Orgrimmar. So far, we managed to get down 7/8 and will be doing Nazgrim next Monday. I’m pretty excited. The guys have been a lot of fun and it’s been a great learning experience. I only tried the first part of…
