Many players would argue that the real fun begins at level 60. All sorts of new options are available. It isn’t until level 60 that you can undertake some of the hardest quests in the game, including obtaining an epic mount and collecting the best gear. You’re finally be ready to tackle level 60 instance [...]
Since the disintegration of TALAN, I’d been searching for a new LARP to join. It wasn’t an easy search, either. LARPing groups, it seems, form and dissolve with some regularity, so much of the information out there is dated. Still, there’s enough interest for a few of the better games to persist. After some very [...]
Like most naive new webmasters, I was thrilled at the prospect of adding a guestbook to my site several years ago. After all, a guestbook is often the first true element of interactivity that most websites have. Naturally, though, my excitement died down when I realized that 99.9% of all comments were spam. It wouldn’t [...]
Chances are that the title of this post confuses you, especially if you’re a man. It’s certainly not meant as any sort of a lude reference to infantilism. On the contrary, it is an affirmation of what, in my opinion, really makes a man worthwhile. Allow me to explain. In the realms of general media [...]
To those of you who’ve been tuning in with any regularity, it may seem odd that I haven’t touched my journal in quite some time. After all, it was one of the first blog categories on the site and definitely the one I posted to most frequently until a few months ago. So what happened [...]
Whether you’re an old gamer or a newbie, the real-world commercial element of World of Warcraft, and any modern MMORPG for that matter, is impossible to ignore. Since the days of Diablo, players have swapped virtual items and currency for real cash. This is done without the consent of the game companies themselves, and often [...]
Despite the recommendations of several friends who had read and loved the book, I didn’t get around to watching Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy until just recently. It’s worth mentioning that the friends of whom I speak are just as nerdy and weird as am I, in some cases moreso. Thus, it came as no [...]
I’ve never been a big Korn fan, but the video for this song rocks. I can’t think of a better backdrop than the sky falling down in chunks and the singers unravelling. It seems like the band hasn’t been around in awhile, but I’m glad to see them coming back into the mainstream with a [...]
For any low-level D&D character interested in making magic items, there aren’t many options. The best you can hope for are potions, scrolls, and a few measly wondrous magic items. Of course, the system is infinitely extensible, so any number of options exist for the creative player. Still, the Dungeon Master’s Guide leaves a lot [...]
My first piece of advice is, if you want to be a god in PvP, do not, I repeat, do not be a warlock. While warlocks can make entirely plausible characters for PvP play in World of Warcraft, they will never be the supreme masters of the sport. So, if you’re reading this guide in [...]
