It seems our good friends over at X Fire have done it again, this time with a parody of Michael Jackson’s song Bille Jean. For those who may not remember, they’re some of the same folks who helped put together Illegal Danish Super Snacks awhile back. I have to say, World of Warcraft machinima doesn’t [...]
As a World of Warcraft player, I had mixed reactions to South Park’s “Make Love, Not Warcraft,” the 10th season premier episode that showcased the game. I didn’t find anything wrong with the humor, of course; everything they portrayed was exaggerated but otherwise true. The machinima sequences were, of course, superb (and supposedly supplied by [...]
For those of you who don’t know, Blazerunner is a level 56 elite fire elemental in the cave atop Fire Plume Ridge in Un’Goro Crater. He’s moderately impressive-looking, although my jaded eyes, after seeing the likes of Ragnaros and Nefarian, regarded him with no small degree of impunity. Now, I play a level 60 warlock [...]
The October 15th release date of Burning Crusade is fast approaching, and Blizzard is doing what it can to wet our appetites until then. They recently released some of the new material available in Burning Crusade for us to drool over. I must say, some of it appears very saliva-worthy, while some of it barely [...]
There are a lot of guilds in World of Warcraft, most of which have imaginative names. I’d have to say, though, that “Illegal Danish” is one of the kookiest I’ve heard. Of course, I’d join them in a heartbeat just for the notoriety. This is one of the machinimas that turned them into a Warcraft [...]
I came across this video on my old raid-guild-to-be’s forums. As machinimas go, especially World of Warcraft machinimas, it’s not the best choreography, but it’s hilarious nonetheless. And it definitely echoes a question burning in the mind of many male players. After all, is there really a lot of difference between a robe and a [...]
As most players will tell you, World of Warcraft can, and often does, become an all-consuming pastime. What with my background in psychology, I’m not generally one to throw around terms like “addictive” offhandedly. The game is definitely compelling, however. Up until a few months ago, I played it for several hours a day almost [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
