I’ve been trying to resolve my level 60 boredom for awhile lately. I’ve spent some time collecting Dreadmist gear and running the more accessible high-level instances like Scholomance, Stratholme, Dire Maul, and Blackrock Spire. Even these, unfortunately, have become very tiresome, especially considering the high failure rate. Sometimes I’m genuinely surprised how anyone, after playing [...]
On my first Christmas in college, my mother gave me a Sam’s Club phone card. It turned out to be one of the best presents I could have received, as it allowed me to converse with my wife (then my long-time girlfriend) on a daily basis. Even though we had to punch in a bunch [...]
Over my time playing a warlock and analyzing the class’ play style, I’ve acquired some handy tricks to help me along the way. These aren’t generally combat-related, but tend to help when questing and grinding in PvE. Life Tap and First Aid Most inventive warlocks figure this one out early on. Thanks to the Life [...]
The title of this song is actually somewhat ironic considering its feel. This song is a romantic pick-me-up. I can’t help but smile when I hear it, because all I can think about is how great it feels to have someone to make my bad days better. The video sends the same message, in my [...]
Apparently Project Paradox is growing in popularity. Normally, I’d take this to be a good thing. Unfortunately, it hasn’t managed to attract the sort of attention that I wanted. My site, like many other blogs out there, has become the target of comment spammers, whose sole goal is to spread their seedy links in as [...]
I am often surprised when I leave from work and find that it’s a pleasant, sunny day outside. Why this surprises me, I really couldn’t say. Perhaps it’s just a stark contrast to the flourescent, temperature-controlled atmosphere of the office. I tend to forget that the world is a vibrant, beautiful place outside the confines [...]
Pets are the bread and button of the warlock class. Without one out, a warlock’s power (and, often times, survivability) is cut in half. Pets are perhaps one of the main reasons that warlocks are considered a complicated class. Of course, knowing how to use them and to what situations each is best suited are [...]
Though we never entirely lose interest in it, my wife and I need to occassionally take a break from World of Warcraft along the lines of conventional “too much of a good thing” wisdom. So, on one of our rare free weekends, we decided to pop by the store and pick up this little gem [...]
The first iteration of Project Paradox started sometime back in 1999. In seven years, I never considered it more than a hobby site, something to develop my skills and talk about my interests. As of May 2006, it has finally become something more than that. Thanks to advertising revenue, Project Paradox is now an actual [...]
By far the most difficult warlock quest in the game, the dreadsteed is generally regarded as well worth the trouble. As with any epic mount, 100% movement increase is great for getting around. More to the point, however, it looks fantastic. The dreadsteed is widely regarded as one of the most wicked looking mounts in [...]
