World of Warcraft – Part 06 – Being Social

I have 3 characters on World of Warcraft that I’ve been cycling through to some extent.  One common thread on these characters I’ve found are random Guild invites.  I have no idea how they find me, I’m often alone in an area when I will suddenly be invited to a guild.  I have always declined these.  If I can’t even see you, I don’t want to be a part of your guild.  At least talk to me first. Which one guild did.  Instead of a random invite, I received a random question of why I wasn’t in a guild.  i…

World of Warcraft – Part 05 – Alliance

I need to start doing this more often, I’m starting to get a bit ahead of myself and starting to forget what I wanted to talk about.  I am trying to keep SOME level of continuity here.  When I last posted, i had mentioned the huge patch for Mists of Pandaria.  I managed to get beyond that, mostly, my laptop still hasn’t finished downloading it all.  Anyway, the update wasn’t as bad as I had thought since you can still play during the update process.  The download for WoW goes through several stages including “Playable” and “Optimal”. The ultimate issue…

World of Warcraft – Part 04 – The Patch

So, I’m a bad ass Blood Elf Fury Official now.  You can tell because I’m wielding a bloody cleaver and killing WoW Lions and Goblins and Dark Elves and shit with it.  If wielding a meat cleaver over a sword doesn’t scream BLOOD FURY WARRIOR I don’t know what does. I have managed to surpass the Level 20 mark, which is the threshold for Free to Play.  In fact, there is a magic gate thing that prevents you from going farther in the world.  I saw the same gate on my Orc Hunter in Orgimmar.  A bit of lead up…

World of Warcraft – Part 03 – Blood Elves

So yeah, my experiment with MMOs has come to a bit of a culmination of events.  In general, I’ve been finding myself kind of frustrated and stuck in a bit of a rut when it comes to games in general.  In order to try to spice these things up, I decided to do something I haven’t ever done and have actively preached against for ages.  I signed up for an MMORPG.  I don’t mean, started playing some watered down Free to Play game, I mean a paid monthly subscription (not that i can’t cancel it later or anything). I considered…

Review – Saints Row the Third DLC Part 1: Genki Bowl VII & Shark Attack Pack (PC)

I’m pretty torn on the Downloadable content for Saints Row the Third here.  On one hand, I really love this game, and more is good.  On the other hand, a load of it is costumes that SHOULD have been built into the game to start with.  At the very least they should run closer to a buck each and not the standard $2-$3.  Yeah, yeah, $3 is not much but consider that at this point, buying all of the DLC will cost you MORE than the game itself.  It adds up. I did get some of the DLC off of…
