World of Warcraft – Part 14 – Alts and Twinks

Lately, in between working on stuff with my main, I’ve been running a few Alts with different purposes in World of Warcraft.  Firstly, I made a fully decked out Twink(ish) Troll Monk nammed Raman.  It’s kind of a play on Ramen and the Jamacan vocal patterns of the Trolls.  I d previous runs onquite a bit of Justice and Valor from my previous runs on Seige of Orgimmar and so I loaded up my new Monk with appropriate heirloom gear. Heirlooms are are a special kind of gear designed for alts.  They provide high stats and they “level up” along…

World of Warcraft – Part 13 – The End…

So I’m done. Done with World of Warcraft. Maybe I’ll come back, probably, but for the moment, I’m just done.  It’s just not fun anymore, that’s all there is to it.  I enjoyed it immensely but I just can’t find myself enjoying it.  I log on and it’s just a chore.  I guess I just don’t enjoy “grinding”.  I was having a ton of fun when i was running around the world doing quests and getting some story, but then I made it to Level 90, and I did some things in Pandaria, and then it got dull, and now…

Review – Back to the Future the Game (PC)

Telltale is one of those companies that focuses on a single type of game.  They are the absolute king of the “Slightly Overly Simple Un-losable Adventure Game” niche.  They are also working very hard on becoming king of the “Somewhat Unlikely Licensed Based Slightly Overly Simple Un-losable Adventure Game” niche.  They have Homestar Runner, Wallace & Grommit, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Law & Order, just to name, well, most of them.  There is also Sam & Max but I believe that is an in house property.  Back to the Future was the first real hit in this…

World of Warcraft – Part 12 – Damnation

So, Death Knights. Death Knights are a little odd in how they work.  Unlike every other class, you cannot create a Death Knight until level 55.  I’m not real sure why this is exactly, I guess it makes slightly more sense for a harbinger of doom to be an experienced powerful warrior, not some crummy level 1 nobody.  Also, according to the plot, Death Knights seem to be fallen or corrupted warriors, so maybe the idea is, you would “recreate” your character as a Death Knight.  As a Death Knight, you work for the Lich King Arthas.  This pleases me…

World of Warcraft – Part 11 – Dungeons and Dragons

I’ve been playing through dungeons, which are grouped matches with 4 other players where you fight tougher than normal enemies.  These groups generally consist of a Tank, who absorbs damage and attracts the enemies, a Healer, who keeps the tank (and the group) alive.  And three DPS or Damage Per Second people, who have the job of dealing out as much damage as they can, as quickly as possible.  I am DPS, which is the most common type, since it’s easiest to play.  I like to think that I’m actually pretty awesome at DPS though since Fury Warrior ie Berserker…
