  • World of Warcraft: Where Blizzard Gets it Right

    I’ve been hearing about the restrictions surrounding Final Fantasy 14 and someone I learned how someone I’ve occasionally played World of Warcraft with ended up getting banned for streaming the game to a private set of users. Apparently, even a private stream broke the NDA. But today I heard that the game has further streaming…

  • Diablo 3: Expansion Announced as Reaper of Souls

    Blizzard announced yesterday the new expansion for their Diablo 3 series, calling it Reapear of Souls. A new page has been setup for the expansion, including a full trailer and game play. The game is currently set for an unspecific date in 2014 and will include as part of the major content a new act,…

  • Diablo 3: Gave Monster Power 8 A Try

    Using the gear I purchased recently for my barbarian, I decided to re-do a few talents and passives and bump up the Monster Power a little more. I believe I can get up to 200k and have around 500 all resistances. According to one chat, supposedly these stats would be reasonable enough to handle some…

  • Diablo 3: Turn Up that Monster Power Notch

    I started to find my Act 1 runs on my Barbarian to be progressively getting easier. I recently hit Paragon Level 24 and wanted to see if I could push that Monster Power level a little higher. So I’m now at Monster Power 6 and feel that it’s quite an interesting challenge. People say that…

  • Diablo 3: Maybe I’m Doing Something Wrong

    Okay, so I tried following one of these so-called budget builds, copying similar money caps and stats for a barbarian. The thing is that I had a far bigger budget but felt that I didn’t get much out of it. When I gave it a try on MP5, I felt that I was even less…

  • Diablo 3: Nice MP5 Farming Route for Barbarians (Act 1)

    I managed to upgrade my barbarian slightly recently, which is allowing me to handle Monster Power 5 Act 1 just fine. Stat-wise, he has (unbuffed) 38.8k health, 640 all resistances, 6.5k armor, 1.1k life on hit and is around 113k DPS. I use a Scoundrel as my companion for the increased critical hit chance. Unless…

  • Diablo 3: Itemization Design Ideas

    There was some talks on the Itemization patch (aka Loot 2.0) with a nice summary on the Diablo Fans page. The three big ideas are 1) making legendaries have unique properties; 2) making items upgradable (and thereby non-tradeable); and 3) more attention to less used class talents/skills. While the last part is yet to be…

  • Livestreaming and Gaming: The Hidden, Growing World

    The internet has changed all of our lives, including how we interact with each other. With social networking, the real time feeds and whatnot, our world has become hyperfast and intertwined to the point where we not only have our physical identity but a virtual identity. As services like Youtube have created a whole new…

  • Diablo 3: Expansion Supposedly Announced and Thoughts

    Supposedly, the Diablo 3 expansion had been announced. Part of the expansion will apparently mark the return of Jay Wilson since Blizzard’s Titan title will be delayed. Originally, I heard the rumor/announcement on Kripparian’s youtube channel and he offered some thoughts on what the game ought to be. The main thing he wanted was a…

  • Diablo 3: Auction House is Back, Message from Director and More Patch 1.0.8 Stuff

    Tonight, the Auction House was reinstated following a message from the director of product over at Blizzard that detailed the issues/fallout of the gold duping. Essentially, he summarized the actual bug and how Blizzard proceeded to correct the issue, their decision not to rollback the patch and even some stats on the percentage of people…
