Post Shattering – Views of Deathwing

November 26, 2010

After the patch that brought the Shattering dropped, I hopped onto my new mage to check out the world (and maybe level a bit.) I logged into Orgrimmar and was immediately lost. I had no idea where I was. I stumbled around the city trying to figure out where everything had moved, and eventually found [...]

The Socialification of Games

November 19, 2010

I think by this point the idea of “social networking” and “games” being two separate worlds has melted away with the popularity of casual games on Facebook. Very few people who use social networking sites have not heard of Farmville or Zynga, even if they don’t play the games themselves. We also have been seeing [...]

A Walk About the PTR

September 29, 2010

I went on the PTR to see some of the changes such as what happens to stats that are going away, what to do the trees look like and the like. I figured that some people won’t be heading over to the PTR and might like to see what these things look like. Most of [...]

Dear WoW Dev Team, Thank you for my perky pug. He is a wonderful companion. Unfortunately he appears to have worms. I stopped by the pet store and Breanni didn’t have anything to treat him, and while the pet grooming kit has left him sparkling it doesn’t seem to have given the poor thing any [...]

Azeroth Public Radio

May 3, 2010

This morning, listening to the news on the radio, I started pondering what the radio shows in Azeroth would be like. In discussing the idea with Shamir, we decided that the gnomes would run the public radio station. You would have announcements like “This episode brought to you by Sisters of Elune”.

(Almost) Everything you wanted to know about Gear and Were Afraid to Ask

February 4, 2010

This isn’t my typical post here, so as a fair warning – this is about World of Warcraft Gear. I’d posted this over in my guild forums and had wanted to share it with a friend outside of the guild and realized it might be useful to have this somewhere other than in the archives of our guild forums. So with that intro, here is an introductory overview to WoW Gear, and how to pick your gear and know what you are looking at.

I was having a discussion with someone the other day about gear, and thought I’d write up a bit about gear in case anyone else can benefit from it. I’ve included item links below so you can click through to the items and see the information being discussed.

A Glimpse at Ulduar

October 16, 2009

In the them of virtual worlds and games, today I present a slide show of photos from World of Warcraft. All of these photos, except the first four are all of a single build, called Ulduar. It is quite the complex both in size and detail. I love the amazing mix of styles that can [...]
