Breakfast Topic: I miss reforging
I don't want to miss reforging. The problem is, for me, some stats are still just garbage - crit and mastery are still our absolute best stats, haste is still bad (bordering on very bad depending on talent choices) and both versatility and multistrike are, at best, meh. Yes, it's true, with the changes to gear and enchanting and gemming I can put on a new piece of gear almost immediately without running off to tinker with it. But the problem is, often, I don't want to, even if it's an ilevel upgrade, because it's a haste/multistrike piece and why even bother?

For the Diablo III players among us, some news - this Monday, March 23rd, there will be a live question and answer with several of the developers on Diablo III, talking about the next patch and season for the game.
Has RNG outlived its usefulness?
RNG is short for random number generator, and its the randomness when you do something like roll for loot, or even the randomness that determines whether a certain piece of loot even drops - whether loot is set to personal, or you're using master looter, there's always some randomness because a boss doesn't drop everything it could drop when you kill it.
The Queue: Stabbing everything
Look, if there’s something wrong with becoming a tornado of swording and slicey stabby killing everything around you, then I am proud to be wrong.
Let’s do the Queue folks.
Breakfast Topic: How do you prefer to get your Seals of Fate?
I find that the only use I have for Apexis Crystals is to turn them into Seals of Fate, but that by far isn't the most popular way among people I know, who seem to vastly prefer using honor points. This has me wondering how you go about getting your Seals.
PvP damage and death knight hotfixes reverted UPDATED
Some hotfixes last longer than other - the recent hotfix to PvP damage that reduced it across the board by 10% has already been reverted. Why? Well, apparently players really, really hated the way it changed PvP.
Legacy of the Void beta in two weeks
If you're a long time fan of the Starcraft franchise, you definitely want to pick up Legacy of the Void, the upcoming expansion to Starcraft II, because according to Blizzard it ties up the overarcing plot that has run through the games since the original Starcraft.
The History of the Diablo’s Nephalem
Despite the presence of Uldyssian and his followers, it was merely a chapter, a small one in a saga that links us from the creation of the world of Sanctuary to the present day. One cannot discuss the Sin War without discussing nephalem, for in a way, the nephalem are far more important to the cosmos than Sanctuary, Inarius or Lilith. More important than the Archangels or Prime Evils.
Breakfast Topic: Does lore matter to you?
I was having a discussion about Garona Halforcen the other day because of her status as the first legendary follower, and the person I was discussing it with told me flat out he didn't care about the story of World of Warcraft at all
The Warrior’s Charge: The Single Minded Fury
While I've been working on leveling my alts, my main focus has been on raiding normal and heroic modes in Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry. Due to the luck of the drop, I've gotten my hands on two Blackrock Foundry one handers, and so I've been raiding as Single-Minded Fury. My quick and dirty take on the sub-spec is as follows.
