Kontroversial Keith: Saying It and Meaning It.

  • World of Warcraft: My Top/Bottom 5 Looking for Raids for Mist of Pandaria

    Okay, so it’s list-a-mania time. I wanted to list out my favorite/most hated raids thus far in this expansion. I’m going to not include world raid bosses, although Oondasta has to be the one where I’d love to permanently punch the designers face in, if you can imagine that. Regardless, this comes after mindlessly doing…

  • World of Warcraft: Pre-Throne of Thunder Raids Loot System Broken After Patch 5.3?

    I noticed something once patch 5.3 came in: the loot drop rate feels like they’re back before patch 5.2. I don’t know if Blizzard has bothered testing whether or not the loot drop rate is still at the new level but it’s pretty bad again. Hopefully, enough players will complain to Blizzard because I’m seeing…

  • World of Warcraft: Mage at 90 and Theories of Gold Spending

    I hit level 90 on my mage a day ago and used my own guide to gear her up quick. I got pretty lucky in doing a Galleon group which drop some excellent starting boots, helping to take my ilvl to the minimum for entering Mogu’shan Vaults. After that, I farmed vaults using Elder Charms…

  • World of Warcraft: (Observed) Characteristics of Players

    Originally, I was going to center this post around PVP players. However, the more I thought about the topic, the more I realized that there was no way to write about just PVP players without going into tangents on other players in the World of Warcraft.  So I decided to revise the topic to players…

  • NSA Spying Situation

    Something I wanted to talk about that has garnered quite a bit of attention lately is the whole NSA “spying” issue. A lot of people are offended and perhaps even shocked. That said, all things considered, I really have to wonder why people should be surprised and even offended. People talk about their privacy being…

  • World of Warcraft: Continuing to Progress on My Paladin and Hanging Out with Yoni

    I spent an overabundant amount of time playing my paladin the last two days, especially yesterday. He had been neglected for some time as I’ve spread my love of my toons all over the place. But my paladin sorta is my favorite and I really enjoy pushing him the most. So I finally had the…

  • World of Warcraft: Raid Boss and Quest Design Theories

    I’m a pretty big critic when it comes to game design since I’ve dabbled a bit in writing my own home grown modules for games like Shadowrun, Dungeons and Dragons and even games with a customized aspect. So when it comes to playing games I do enjoy such as Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft,…

  • World of Warcraft: PTR for Patch 5.4 Announced, Timeless Isle, Proving Grounds and Virtual Realms

    Blizzard has announced the beginning of the new Patch 5.4 in terms of some of the upcoming features for PTR coming up. While the Flex Raid was already mentioned as one of the biggest new upcoming features as well as the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, we now can see a few big features beyond these…

  • World of Warcraft: Finally Finished Throne of Thunder (LFR)

    I had been procrastinating on doing the last leg of Throne of Thunder for a while now. But it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. The Lei Shen fight was more annoying and a clusterfuck but I could see that it was definitely doable. Main thing is just making sure people were marked, communication…

  • World of Warcraft: Are Fishing and Cooking Worth Taking?

    Up until Mist of Pandaria, the fishing and cooking professions were some of the most heinous professions to level. Fishing was simply boring as you took ages just grinding through zones until eventually you couldn’t push any farther. Cooking really only saw benefits for raiding but the rest of cooking practically was useless, unless you…
