Azeroth Arrival – Part Four – Joining The Battle for Azeroth
When we’d last left Kaelisse and Landralus, it was a couple of days before The Battle for Azeroth hit and shook everything up once again. Landralus had completed basic Monk training in Pandaria, and was ready for the new expansion, or so I thought. Lissy was off chasing critters to be Azeroth’s greatest pet trainer, and was far too busy to notice some minor incidents like Lady Sylvanus burning dow...[Read More]
Azeroth Arrival – Part Three – Lissy the Lock
They finally got me back. All the new things, the ease of getting a character caught up, and the fact that I miss playing MMOs all pushed me back into World of Warcraft. Reactivation was simple enough, and once the client had enough downloaded to jump into the game, I found myself staring at a very familiar character selection screen, albeit with some slightly unfamiliar names displayed. At some p...[Read More]
Azeroth Arrival – Part Two – World of Warcraft at PAX East
Six years have passed since I last set foot on the virtual soil of Azeroth. Three additional expansions have further broadened the world, and piled more lore on the never-ending battle between The Alliance and The Horde. With the seventh expansion, Battle for Azeroth, slated for release this upcoming August, I had the opportunity to sit down for a short interview with two of the current World of W...[Read More]
Return to Azeroth, Part I – Good Times in World of Warcraft
We’d been building up to this moment for months. We’d been so close the previous week, only to come up short in the final battle, but this time everything was going our way. Everyone was still online, Tati was on top of her healing game, Banu and our off-tank had everything on lockdown, and we the DPS team were cranking out damage like a crack UFC beatdown team. The year was 2011, and my guild was...[Read More]

Gaming and Giving – An Inspiration Like No Other
I’ve been gaming since around the age of five, and up until last November I thought I had achieved some of the most rewarding and inspiring moments of my gaming life: catching ’em all the first time, vanquishing Ganon for the first time, the list goes on. But something happened over the course of 48 hours from November 19 to November 21 that easily put all of those achievements to sham...[Read More]

Review: Soul Master
On August 12, Soul Master went live with its open beta and it is amazing! It’s an MMORTS that stays true to its genre and actually delivers what gamers have expected from the genre for so long.

WoW, Just WoW Pt. 2
Some of you might remember my post from 6 days ago about the kid freaking out that his Mom cancelled his World of Warcraft account. Apparently it wasn’t, but that just means we are given the opportunity to laugh some more at this sad kid and his addiction to WoW. This morning I get up, get on AIM, and Chris sends me a link to this wonderful gem on Youtube…. youtube::WWBfLOZ2CjQ:: I wi...[Read More]
WoW, just WoW
Normally I don’t look at links that are posted on Twitter, but when I saw a recent post from Ashton Kutcher about a kid having a love for World of Warcraft… my curiosity was intrigued. At first I thought that it was going to be just another video of some poor kid sitting in front of his computer, getting his jollies off to a female WoW character. What I got was far better than I could&...[Read More]
