  • Diablo 3: (Not A) Cow Anniversary Event and Ideas

    Diablo 3’s 3rd anniversary has been marked this year with a special (not a) Cow Event which pays homage to Diablo 2’s Secret Cow Level. The event made me realize that Diablo 3 ought to have more events like this one on a very frequent basis, which will be the basis of discussion for this…

  • World of Warcraft: Reputation/Valor Point Changes to Gear in Patch 5.4 and Ruminations

    Some notes on the upcoming reputation/valor point change to gear is that pre-Throne of Thunder gear will cost Justice Points and cost between 1250-2250 points while having their reputation requirement removed. Shado-Pan Assault gear will have the reputation requirement for honored level gear reduced to friendly while the overall Valor Point cost will be reduced…

  • 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: More Progress in Patch 5.3 for Me

    The past week or so I’ve been really hitting LFR and certain daily hubs hard to boost my toons as much as possible. I started to farm Throne of Thunder parts 1 and 2 now that I’ve become quite comfortable with the fights. Part 3 I’ve only done twice and still find it a little…

  • World of Warcraft: Isle of Thunder Experiences

    When Isle of Thunder first came out, I did a few dailies. But the sheer number of mobs ended up frustrating me pretty badly along with all the chaos of people swarming the area. It’s calmed down quite a bit but still has more people than older daily zones. While other guides do exist, I…

  • World of Warcraft: Managing and Leveling Multiple Alts in Mist of Pandaria

    Quite often when you read the forums you’ll hear how many people have felt that Mist of Pandaria has not been alt friendly. The grind in this expansion at the start has been quite harsh with the reputation, low valor points and ungenerous loot system in place. Not to mention the extremely tedious questing required…

  • World of Warcraft: My Current Progress and Experiences in Patch 5.2

    We’re now about to get into the 4th day of Patch 5.2 for Mist of Pandaria. Much of what I’ve been doing (outside of helping a friend level up a bit) is focusing on gearing my guys up further and doing dailies on my newer 90 level toons. I’m attempting to avoid Heroics and seeing…

  • World of Warcraft: What to REALLY Do in Patch 5.2

    There are a ton of cutting edge guides talking about all the new things for Patch 5.2. With all the information available, it can be overwhelming. But what these guides do not reveal is what you, the casual PVE player, should or can be doing in Patch 5.2. First, the raid schedule shows that like…

  • World of Warcraft: Thoughts on Making Gold in Mist of Pandaria

    There’s numerous guides on making gold in World of Warcraft, most of them involve heavy amounts of farming. While having gold in the game is critical to performance, I view it as a residual of what you do in the game as opposed to a focus. As a result, I tend to not be bothered…
