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.
Breakfast Topic: I look smug as all heck in selfies
I mean, here I am faced with the cosmic wonder of Algalon, one of the servants of the Titans, who has actually come to decide the fate of Azeroth, and what's my reaction? "Look at this big shot," it looks like I'm saying.
Fun with Diablo III: My Spinning Ballerina of Death Barbarian Build
Of course I would. And one of the things I've learned in playing D3 with my wife is, ranged players will get you killed. No, really. They don't pay attention to the battlefield, they gleefully drag you face first through every pack in existence, it is a constant series of terrifying moments playing with one of them.
